As I am a corporate website administrator and I use an ultra-wide monitor with a resolution of 3840x1600 pixels, I need to be able to run firefox with window size of full HD to verify the compatibility of the site for common displays.

How can I ensure that the Firefox window always starts at this size?

In the case of Chrome, you just add the parameter -window-size=1920,1080

Unfortunately, this solution does not work here (so it worked in older versions).

I found some plugins that promised this, but none worked correctly.

I find the option to set a default size to be very basic and essential and prevents me from switching from Chrome to Firefox.

I am trying to install Adobe Flash player in Firefox 84.0 (the last version support Flash player) when running in a docker container (Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS). I had tried to run Firefox in my real machine (Linux 6.1.0-17-amd64 Debian 12) and it worked well. I just copy the file "libflashplayer.so" to the path "~/.mozilla/plugins". But when Firefox is running in a container, I do the same but it can't found Flash player plugin. No matter where I place the libflashplayer.so, like "~/.mozilla/plugins" or "/usr/lib/firefox/firefox", it don't work, I can't find Flash player in "about:plugins" or "about:addons". I start Firefox from a terminal and there is no error log. I have no idea why it can detect flash player plugin while running in a real system but don't work when running in a container. Thanks.

On new window (`Ctrl-N`) I want the focus to be on the url bar, not the homepage. I believe this is the default behavior if no homepage is set, but I want to set this behavior independent of the homepage setting.

Is there a setting for this?

Same as below, but solution did not work for me.

Hail all:

Now, I got quite the few extensions, up to the amount, these cannot be brought into the Extension Bar. I could be wrong, however, there are possibly others with this issue.

Now, my question is, if Firefox could add a Grouping system within the Extensions Bar, basically drawers that you place on the Extensions Bar, which can be named (like "Writing Tools", "Saving Tools", ... .), and which act as drop-down menus, in which the extensions you placed in this drawer, to be listed when clicked? It would also clean up the Extensions Bar for people like me with many extensions, make it far more orderly ... .

Or, is there an extension which allows this?

Thank you in advance: Ke.

I use Firefox on Raspberry pi os. I have a lot of help files saved in mht format. How can I open these files in Firefox? Chrome supports such files without additional configuration, but I would not like to use this browser on Raspbian, since it consumes much more resources than Firefox. It is undesirable to use a different format.

Disable instantly switching to new tab that was opened from the address bar with middle mouse click

Does anyone know how to do this?

To give a better description:

1) I partially type a website I've visited into the address bar and the history recommendations show up. For example, I type "yout", the address bar shows "youtube.com"

2) I middle mouse click on the "youtube.com" recommendation to open it in a new tab.

3) Firefox is instantly swapping me to that tab and ignoring the behavior I changed for tabs.

I have "browser.tabs.loadBookmarksInBackground" set to true. When I use middle mouse on a link on a website, the behavior works as intended. The link opens in a separate tab but keeps me in the same tab from which I clicked.

Hey,

I'm looking for a shortcut/hotkey to focus the page.

The best I found is "Move to Next Frame", which is F6. When having the URL bar as focus, and no bookmark bar open, this will focus the page.

I have two questions here: - Is there a better way to focus the page? - If not, how can I remap F6 to a more usable hotkey?

I have found some threads with workaround like tabbing 2-3 times until the page is in focus. I'm looking for a single shortcut, having to press a key multiple times kinda defeats the purpose of a shortcut.

I have found information on how to remap hotkeys with either extensions or autoconfig, but I can't find which key I have to change. Extensions don't seem to include this key.

For autoconfig, I looked through view-source:chrome://browser/content/browser.xhtml and the Browser Toolbox to find this shortcut, but with no success. Maybe I looked at the wrong spot, maybe not all shortcuts are listed there?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I found any archived topic on not being able to customize the PDF Toolbar at all, from April 2023. But, over the weekend, my PRINT button has now moved from the first position to the last position. In fact, all 4 of the buttons have reversed themselves. It is now "Text, Draw, Image, & Print", instead of the normal Print first, etc. If we can not customize these buttons, how did they reverse themselves without my authorization? This really is inconvenient and bothers my OCD greatly.

Hello all, there's quite a few threads on spacing in the message composition window but I have not seen a thread on this specific issue. Even though I have changed the style to "body text" instead of "paragraph" when I type text and then in a subsequent line start a numbered list or a bulleted list using the format buttons, thunderbird automatically includes an extra space. I don't want this. Is there a way to eliminate this extra line?

I've attached an image to show what I mean.
