Is there a way to show bookmarks on particular sites without showing them all the time?

My use case is that I have a plugin's url set as my home page and new tab page and would like to be able to see my bookmarks when I open a new tab but not when I'm on other tabs.

Bonus question; is there a way to have my new tabs open to that plugin's url but also have the url bar empty for browsing?

Thanks in advance for any help with either of these I imagine specific questions.

Hello,

I wanted to customize my Firefox new tab with a local HTML file, such as "/path/to/my/index.html". It was possible to use this workaround: https://github.com/Jangsoodlor/Firefox-New-Tab-Config/tree/main https://github.com/Jangsoodlor/Firefox-New-Tab-Config/tree/main

Which implied a configuration file (sometimes named "autoconfig.cfg", "firefox.cfg", "local-settings.cfg" depending on the guide since the name is arbitrary) with javascript code. In the new Firefox 136, this code fails to execute due to a new API being used.

If you want to customize your new tab, follow the previous guide, but on the configuration file write this code instead:

// My new tab
try {
  const ff = {};
  ChromeUtils.defineESModuleGetters(ff, {AboutNewTab: "resource:///modules/AboutNewTab.sys.mjs"});
  ff.AboutNewTab.newTabURL = 'file:///path/to/my/index.html';
} catch (e) {ChromeUtils.reportError(e);}

Note that the file must start with a comment

Adapting the "/path/to/my/index.html" to your needs.

Thanks to @mkaply (github) on this thread https://github.com/mozilla/policy-templates/discussions/1190 for the new API method.

I post this here in case someone has the same issue, because is quite recent and hard to find on the internet.

you want to make firefox Great again and not a pile of miss place cluttered garbage like it is now this is what need to be done so at least some people can have a beautiful browser just they way they want it ....

delete !!!!! reader icon, the star icon, the double arrow icon from top right hand corner of my browser ..

THEN put EXTENSIONS ICON in HAMBURGER MENU where it should be PUZZEL ICON in HAMBURGER MENU also put CUSTIMIZE TOOL BAR icon IN HAMBURGER MENU TOO ... that give a clean start for ........?

                                                        HERE IS WHERE IT MAKES THINGS GREAT ! 
                                                       everything happens from hamburger menu
                                                         so everyone starts with a clean browser !

just put all your little icons in customized tool bar icon (that will be in the HAMBURGER ICON ) and then give us the power to put what we want.. where we want them to be ...... if you dont want any icons they stay in customized tool bar menu never to be seen again instead of automatically putting it somewhere that will piss someone off ( fucking great idea right ? )... but i think the better option too permanently remove any icon i want from CUSTOMIZED TOOL BAR ICON menu would be better but i know people cant decide on there own so make a extension that if someone wants to delete a icon/function from customized tool bar menu we could get that extension and remove things our self's with a click or 2 , that would make the tool bar fully customizable no more automactilly putting new thing on tool bar and pissing people off just put a notice saying new options have been added to customized tool bar icon/menu in hamburger menu and they can move it to toll bar and use it if they like that option and other people dont have to waste time trying to figure out how to remove it and waste there valuable time ...... and everybody would be happy and firefox would be hands down the best browser period in my book and im sure many other people would be so happy !!!! ...

                                                          this next part in most important ......

   then do not touch the drop down menu at the top left hand side of the browser do not remove or add anything too that menu ever its perfect !!!!

  p.s educated guessing is why browser is why browser is a mess now nobody want to put a foot down and do what needs to be done . well now you have a plan to make fire fox great for everyone ! i have more ideas but for now this is what needs to be done let freedom of choice be for everyone and stop this google mircosoft xfinity no choice this is how it is garbage ! you have work to do if you have questions feel free contact me !

I'm running Firefox 130.0.1 (64-bit) and noticed when I read a foreign-language wikipedia article, I do not get the translation icon in the right end of the menu bar. All I see is the "Toggle reader view" icon and the "Bookmark this page icon." I can't figure out where it went. I saw another thread that asked people to check their General settings and "choose your preferred language for displaying pages" option, but it's already set to English (US).

I am a personal user. After installing the latest upgrade on my laptop (not the computer I am using now), Firefox now says I'm part of an organization and don't have permission to change settings. It no longer recognizes several browser extensions, including my Bitwarden extension (most annoying). Do I have to uninstall Firefox completely?

TIA

I'm using Firefox in a kiosk-mode application, on a Raspberry Pi based system, started from a bash script like this:

# Clear history etc. to prevent problems if unit is not perfectly shut down rm -v -r /home/pi/.mozilla/firefox/*.default rm -v -r /home/pi/.mozilla/firefox/*.default-esr rm -v -r /home/pi/.cache/mozilla/firefox/*.default rm -v /home/pi/.mozilla/firefox/profiles.ini

sleep 2

/usr/bin/firefox-esr --kiosk -url http://127.0.0.1

However on booting I get a banner from Mozilla along the top of the screen saying: "Firefox automatically sends some data to Mozilla so that we can improve your experience [Choose what I share]"

This is not acceptable in kiosk mode, as it would give users access to the configuration as well as being a visual annoyance. How can we disable this?

I've done some changes to my fonts and other settings and some of my websites are having issues. how do I do a browser re-set to go back to the original settings

thanks Becky

I'm not sure what has changed within Fierfox for it to IGNORE MY CHOICES for deleting all browsing or temporary cached info when I close the browser.

I didn't give you permission to store cookies on my local drive... So why aren't you clearing my temporary cached files when I EXIT the browser... It used to be "0" now the closest I get is "14k"... Why won't you delete that 14kb???

You toot yourself as a browser that safeguards peoples browsing history etc...

It would be better if you JUST CAME CLEAN and fessed up to your lies!!!

I enjoy Firefox and use it on all platforms. In the last week it has been difficult to browse if I leave the app for more than a few seconds. I have found that in Task manager, the Firefox processes go to efficiency mode. Once that happens I cannot bring the browser back active. How can I turn off efficiency mode for Firefox? Thanks.

I want to stop my mac from firefox updates Updates on firefox ruin firefox. NO MORE UPDATES How do i stop updates?

I appreciate the risks and if it results in the deaths of 7 billion people in a nuclear inferno, I'm totally fine about that.

I am running Mozilla Firefox on Windows 11. I am using Rogers Yahoo Mail. Unfortunately the mail program has "Spell Check". It can best be described as intrusive. Every letter I type in my mail the spell check keeps popping up and bothering/interfering me to the point where it is very annoying and frustrating. I need to get rid of it permanently. I saw some suggestions where I could go to 'settings' and uncheck the box that says 'check your spelling as you type', it was unchecked and the spell check keeps popping up non stop! PLEASE show me how I can stop this aggravating feature. Thanks, Larry

I always shut down my PC (Windows 11) while Firefox is open, and it reopens automatically when I turn it back on. However, the settings and the layout are reset.

I tried closing the browser normally via the Close button, but the issue persists.

I tried killing the process via Task Manager, but the issue persists.

I'm not opted into Firefox Studies.

I use quite a few extensions and also Container Tabs. I tried disabling all extensions, but the issue persists.

I just can't disable Container Tabs to test because I would lose too many tabs. Could Container Tabs be the issue?

Hello. I have a very important question. I still have the old version of Firefox. There were applications that you have now closed (Speed Dial. I have a lot of websites there that I really need, and without this program I won't be able to restore them. Can I ask you to open this application for at least a couple of days so that I can copy them all and then install them in the new version. my account is [edited] @mail.ru

How do I stop Firefox from opening Finder in a new window? I don't want to have to go back and forth between windows. The same thing happens when I open a PDF. Thanks.
