I want to install Firefox but the installer wants to start with M.S. Update. I cannot do this because M.S. Update is incompatible with my computer. It will lock up 100% of the time preventing it from installing. I need a way the does not open up M.S. Update. Thx.

Hello, So I have 2 rows of top sites on my Firefox and i love to use shortcuts so is there any shortcuts (keyboard controls) I can use to open a site in the top sites section??? or a specific site in general? for example i open Firefox by hitting windows key + 5 which is the browser number in my task bar and i would love to have a shortcut to open a top site quickly!

I have set Firefox Developer Edition as my default PDF reader. When I want to open a PDF file, it always pops up in a new window, even if another has already been there.

Is there a way to change this default behavior, so that PDF files are opened in an existing window?

I currently run: Firefox Developer Edition, Version 84.0b2

Thanks.

I have switched from Windows 10 to Ubuntu 20.04.1 and am having trouble creating website shortcuts now. With Windows I used the following method

• [Support - Create a desktop shortcut to a website]

From my research it looks this is supposed to work with Ubuntu as well? It is not working for me, is this possible?

There used to be an extension that allowed the menu on right-click to be modified/re-arranged. Have yet to find similar extension and so, was wondering if i just didn't see it yet and/or if something might be available in about:config that would allow this?

Thank you!

I have 2 monitors i one room and TV in another (as 3rd display). I have Firefox icon in the taskbar on all 3 monitors (in Windows 10). Sometimes I go to room to watch some YouTube video on TV, but my Firefox window in on another monitor. Also sometimes when I switch from Full Screen display to normal, my Firefox window can move to the wrong monitor. It would be great if I could right click on the taskbar Firefox icon and click some option like "move browser window to this monitor". Is is possible to do it with some AddOn or in some other way?

Hi, I've made a desktop-link for Firefox like: "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -new-window url That works fine but is it possible to get a new window in a web-link also, like: http://"c:/Program Files/Mozilla Firefox/firefox.exe" -new-window url This link opens only a new window without the url, what's wrong?

And how can I find the local copy of an web-link.ico? Thank you for help. Uli

Hi all,

(83.0 Firefox Release November 17, 2020, macOS 10.15.6 (19G2021))

Keyboard text shortcuts do not work in Firefox on my Mac, whereas they do in all other apps.

This is incredibly annoying.

Any idea what's happening, and how I can make it work in FF?

Thanks,

Hi,

In firefox controle-B does toggle the visibility of the bookmarks toolbar. This is a problem because control B is used to apply bold in many text field and forum like phpBB and this configuration of firefox make it less fun to apply bold style in text fields that are based on ctrl-B to do so. We clearly can do it manually but as we are in XXIth century, a more usable and efficient solution seems worthy. Is there any trick to do so in firefox? I could not find how to change this keyboard shortcut in firefox. Did I miss something?

Hi there,

I'm building a Website with Avada. There are some posts that contain a link to a PDF-file.

In Firefox only an empty box appears alongside the weblink. How can I switch that off or avoid that box appearing?

Please see the image attached.

Thanks for your advice!

Is there a method I can use that will allow me to insert an image into an email and flip the image if it's hovered over with the cursor? Or swap the image?

Thanks. Dave.

Hi all,

When I search FF history and click on a link in the library, the link goes to the top of the library and I lose my position in the library.

Is there a setting so I retain my position in the search library. Chrome retains my position.

Regards,

Steve
