Hi,

Is it possible for Firefox to implement an easy and accessible profile manager just like Chrome rather than going through about:profiles?

I am using containers but need to separate work and personal workspace. Some of domains are overlapped like Google and Microsoft services. so separating by domains cannot work.

Just now, I tried to use "Email Link..." under the File Menu and got a pop-up asking me to "Choose an application to open the mailto link." I have seen this before, several times, usually after updating Firefox, IIRC.

This time, however, Gmail is not presented as an option, in this pop-up. Clicking "Choose..." just opens up a Windows Explorer file-picker window.

I tried to fix this in Tools > Settings, under General > Applications. There, "mailto" just shows "Use other..." and if I click that, the "Select Helper Application" pop-up window is basically blank, with a message at the bottom saying "No applications were found for this file type."

See attached images.

I am running v98.0.2 on Win 10 Pro.

Emails with .PDF attachments have the Firefox logo on them and are opened by the Firefox.PDF "app". I want it totally disabled. I don't want to ever see it again. I have wasted two hours trying to figure out how to just use Adobe .PDF.

For downloads I have made the selection to use Adobe.PDF. That works.

Any help would be appreciated.

G'day Folks,

Firefox set as Default Browser not loading from MS Office outlook 2010 email links ?

I'm on Microsoft Windows 8.1 Enterprise with 24GB ram NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 All updates for the OS and Applications are done. Bartender Total Security v26.0.14.63 is the default security application.

The hyperlinks worked once upon a time but now they do not. This occurred after i had problems with Opera which I uninstalled and cleaned out the registry deleting any Opera entries. When wanting to load a "If there are problems with how this message is displayed, click here to view it in a web browser." with View in Browser, it defaults to Internet Explorer v11.0.9600.20296 update v 11.0.265. Obviously Firefox is set as the default browser and I have tried set IE as the default and then changing it back to Firefox rebooting each time, however it makes no difference and IE still loads.

So does anyone have any solutions for this issue please.

Please reply ASAP

I have been using the same custom theme for the past 3 years or so on both my windows 10 pro and dual boot Ubuntu 20.04. Recently, my windows 10 pro firefox started going into dark mode all of a sudden without me changing ANYTHING. The system theme and everything else stays the same. Then about 5 days later, my Ubuntu 20.04 firefox started to inherit this stupid dark mode as well. I have tried _ setting ui.systemUsesDarkTheme to 0 (number value) in about:config _ Changing to other custom color themes, and they all went into dark mode. _ Refresh Firefox _ Reinstall Firefox

When I went into "Ads on & theme" tabs, changing to system theme, it picks up the white theme mode. But Youtube webpage system theme mode pick up the dark theme mode.

I'm using Windows 10 Pro and Firefox 97.0.1 I do not want the Firefox icon on my desktop (I already have it pinned to my taskbar). I delete the shortcut, but it reappears each time I log in. Removing it requires me to have a coworker with admin privileges come supply a password - it's not tenable for me to keep bugging her every day. I cannot find the setting to suppress the re-creation of the desktop icon; where is it located? I prefer Firefox, but if there's no solution to this I will have to uninstall it and switch to a different browser.

When I try to click on the email (envelope) icon, I receive the error message:

"This file does not have an app associated with it for performing this action. Please install an app or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Apps Settings page."

This is a relatively new problem; I was previously able to email links by simply clicking on the "envelope" icon, which took me directly to "new email" setting in my Outlook App.

Any suggestions on how to fix the problem?

Thanks!

Well this sucks about 2 days ago my rss feed is not displaying correctly now. I use a specific url for a rss feed and refresh it. I noticed that when I use the default url that I have bookmarked, when I click it, the url now changes without the "rss" in the url, & displays it in the original website form. I can not have this since there is a delay in the original website & time is of essence with my work. So i currently have the add on, "RSSPreview" Preview RSS feeds in browser

I dont know if this is the issue or not? There is no issues that I can see and it is on.

How can I get this to work again & what is making this url change to another? Not Cool. Thanks Katie

why cant i just grab the bookmark toolbar and drag it down to make 2 or 3 rows of bookmarks. cmon.

i tried looking for an add on to do this but couldn't seem to find that either.


please fix this, its pretty pathetic.

if someone has an add-on that can fix this problem please let me know because i haven't found one and I'm tired of looking through folders or other menus for something that could've been right there.

this is the kind of dumb lazy programming i expect from windows/apple or others.

also, make a dark mode toggle for your website..... lol. this page looks like the surface of the sun, and dark reader add-on cant fix this page for some reason.

FF on PC, not that it should matter.

Firefox 99.0 (64-bit).

Used to, a yellow "dot" would appear over the "Downloads" button in the toolbar if one or more of my downloads failed.

I could then open the "Downloads" and restart/resume the ones that failed to complete.

Is there a setting to bring that back?

Note: I set the "browser.download.alwaysOpenPanel" to false to prevent that window from opening everytime I started a download. Not sure if the two are related.

Thanks a bunch!

Steps to reproduce (FF 98.0.2 on Windows 10):

1) Set the Downloads directory to "Always ask you where to save files" (screenshot 1)

2) Set the handling choice for application/pdf to "Always ask" (screenshot 2)

3) Click on a link to a PDF file

4) In the dialog that pops up, choose "Open in Firefox" (screenshot 3)


Desired behaviour:

The PDF opens in Firefox, with a copy temporarily saved in the web cache (not in the filesystem).


Actual behaviour:

The PDF opens in Firefox, but a copy is saved in the greyed-out "default" directory from screenshot 1 (R:\Temp): see screenshot 4.


This seems wrong for two reasons:

i) The documented behaviour of Firefox is to save downloaded PDFs in the web cache, so that they get cleared when the cache is cleared.

ii) In screenshot 1, I've instructed Firefox to always ask me where to save files. But FF has instead assumed it can save files in a directory without asking me.


This can be sort-of worked around by changing the handling choice to "Open in Firefox". In that case, PDFs do seem to be stored in the cache, not in the filesystem. Then if I want to save a PDF, I can manually save it from the tab it opens in.

But is there a better way to fix this?
