In Chromium you can go a page backward or forward by swiping one finger to the left or right. This works really well. I have been missing this feature in Firefox for years now. Without it navigation in the browser is tedious on Linux tablets or phones.

Is something similar ever going to be implemented?

I often need to have Firefox open on half my screen and another doc open on the other half.

Every time I click the 'minimise' button on the top right of my Firefox screen, it freezes then crashes. I have to close it, reopen it, and then it will minimise. This has been happening for months.

Any ideas?

Attached is a screenshot of a video on youtube. Usually I can hear sounds but not now.

Hi, my computer crashed and we were able to get the old files and I have them saved (Saved Files for MZForum. The file date from the crash Feb 22 and 23 and the new ones are March 9 and afterword.

I was able to replace the Logins-JSON file and you can see the date difference in the Folder which is in the Permissions picture attached. I can't move the Key 4 file over because it is asking for Administrator access.

1 - How do I get that to move this file? 2 - The Form History SQLite is doing the same thing? 3 - Should I also replace the Logins Backup and the places.sqlite?

Thank you for you help!!

Firefox for Linux has a bug where it is unable to drag a tab from a non-active window. As in, if the window focus is on Firefox window A and I try to drag a tab from Firefox window B to window A, I have to click first the window. I can't just intuitively drag the tab from a non-active window, because it will get ignored. It will just activate the window, ignoring the drag.

Firefox for Linux, running on Nobara KDE latest desktop. Confirmed also on KDE Neon latest desktop.

I'm searching for an add-on for Firefox that will allow me to create reminders, access them, and be reminded when they come due. So far my searches have been in vain. I found a couple and added them but cannot find any icon that allows me access pending reminders nor have any that I thought I set up popped up when due.

I spend the majority of my time online in Firefox and would much prefer to control reminders there.

Can anyone recommend an add-on (or a feature I've overlooked) that will handle reminders in Firefox?

Hi all, I've been having this issue for a while. I am unable to view streams on YouTube or Twitch (Twitch will show streams as offline, whereas YouTube will not even show streams), and I have encountered a new issue where YouTube allows only 360p on videos. I have used the HTML5 Video Capability Test and seem to have an issue in that department (images attached). Even in troubleshooting mode, the issue persists. Any help is appreciated.

Just migrating my .mozilla directory to a new OS ... works perfectly, everything exactly as it was in the old OS, so no complaints, however I noticed the size of the directory is 491Mb! It seems a bit fat for my bookmarks and preferences and such. Should it be that bloated? Can I trim it down? Did I perhaps copy some stuff into there that doesn't belong?

This is a rebuilt PC after a hard drive died, Windows 10 Pro N version 22H2. and YE

I am trying to access video content on cbc.ca or Amazon.ca and receive an error message that "no compatible source was found for this media" - Amazon or on cbc.ca "Oops...None of the given sources can be played".

Prior to updating Firefox to version 123.0.1, both played video on these sites without an issue.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled FF and the issue persists. I can play the video from these sites with Chrome or Edge without a problem.

I have installed Java and have tried all of the help tips without success:

I have followed and installed recommendations from : https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/fix-video-audio-problems-firefox-windows however the latest Media Feature Pack for windows is from 2019 and is no longer applicable to the 22H2 version. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/mediafeaturepack. Windows store does not offer the pack.

The changes suggested by https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/block-autoplay have been applied and no change

I am not running malware bytes or a VPN.

I have cleared my cache, and browsing history, rebooted = no change.

I have no add-ons, extensions or themes installed.

I prefer to use FF, but require that I can view videos from many sites.

Periodically I would like to clear cookies, except some. Tripcheck.com saves one's custom camera itineraries in cookies. I would like to avoid deleting them when I clear cookies or when Firefox is closed. Similarly, there are some other websites for which I would like to preserve cookies for.

How can I do that? Does listing them as "allowed" accomplish that? Thanks.

My google calendar, gmail, and G docs either will not load or only load after several attempts, or are very slow. They work fine in Chrome. This morning I couldn't open a G doc at all in FF, but it opened in Chrome.

My FF is up to date. I recently installed security software from AVG that is more full featured than the version I've been using for years with no problem. Could there be some known incompatibility between AVG and FF?

I'd much appreciate any suggestions!

Until a few months ago I had a small icon on the right-hand end of the toolbar [the one with the URL in it] - After I downloaded a pdf to a file in Finder I could click on that icon & it took me straight to the downloaded pdf file in Finder. It was very convenient. It avoided having to go to Finder & find the recently downloaded pdf file myself so I could open it and read it. I don't know if it was an add-on or some other type of link: I just had the icon in the toolbar. Does anyone know what it was & where [or how] I can get it again?

Please fix it so that we can either shut off or resize favicons in Google search results. This is with Firefox 123.0 using the default settings for fonts. It used to be that filters for Ublock and ABP would eliminate favicons totally. I'd prefer that solution since to me they serve no purpose. But at least make them reasonable sized.

See screenshot of Chrome vs Firefox.
