Firefox Support Forum

Hello, I want to be able to search directly from Google, Bing, etc. when I am in a private window. Computer will search from the address bar only when initially bringing up a private window. I type in Google.com, Bing.com, etc. in the address bar & I then can search from their search box.

I've read this article: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/push-notifications-firefox

It tells me how to disable new notification requests, however when I go to website, the icon still appears. The icon still wiggles. I want to remove this ENTIRELY. Under no circumstances do I ever want to know anything about any website with notifications. It should be 100% removed because it is trash feature from trash companies.

Hi there, I'm using a mac laptop with firefox (up to date) and when I try to download add ons from mozilla's site it doesn't recognize I'm using firefox and prompts me to download firefox instead of any add ons. I have done this and my problem is still there- I can't download add ons and mozilla keeps asking me to download firefox. What's wrong?

Hello. When I open a new tab in Firefox, there are top sites that I cannot remove. I have set for there to be 4 rows of top sites, but Amazon is not only not pinned, but when I try to dismiss it, nothing happens. I have tried clearing my history, and editing and replacing the link with another site only creates another Amazon top site square. Any help would be much appreciated as it is becoming a pet peeve! XD

It sounds like peak laziness, but I'm not a fan of opening a menu every time I want to change search engine nor do I want to use a prefix (though I suppose I wouldn't mind 'g' instead of '@google', 'ddg' instead of '@duckduckgo').

I'd like to have more than one search bar akin to the one you can choose adjacent to the address bar--each with its own search engine. If such a tweak doesn't exist browser-side or even addons-side, I suppose I wouldn't mind dabbling with the code if someone can tell me what file I'd have to go to in order to do this.

I regularly bounce between Google, Bing, and Duckduckgo as the search results vary with each (and, imo, Google has been less reliable as time goes by). Such a tweak would make browsing a lot more convenient for me.

Please help. I installed facebook container and discovered that it broke audio playback. I disabled the facebook container, Now all tabs open in containers. I have reinstalled, deleted my profile. Deleted the App data folder, and removed Mozila from the registry. Nothing has turned off containers. There must be a simple solution that I m overlooking. Thanks in advance. --glenn green

The title menu (the one saying File, Edit, View, etc.) occupies the space of the window title, on the same line as the minimize, restore, and close buttons. How can I shift it down so I can see the window title?

The firefox menus and messages suddenly started to appear in Arabic (see image1). I followed the instructions on the Help section and checked the language definition there (menu/ Options/ general/Language). The only language defined there is English! No arabic anywhere, not even as an alternative (see image2). Pressing OK and restarting Firefox didn;t help either.

How do I get rid of the Arabic and return to English menus?

Thanks!

I have tried to find and get rid of this "https://search.yahoo.com" for days. There is nothing in the control panel programs that I can uninstall. How do I get rid of this intrusive site and get "google" back?

As the Title suggests.

My Add-Ons are all removed from my Toolbar and stop functioning whenever I set my History settings to "Never Remember History."

I have tried uninstalling and re-installing the Add-On's, refreshing Firefox, uninstalling/reinstalling Firefox. But none of this works.

I want to be able to use my Add-On's AND have Firefox not remember my history. It used to work before, but now it just won't let me.

Any suggestions?

I need the browser text to be larger both on Firefox homepage as well as on websites my search brings up. iPhone has controls that work on it’s own sites and also many sites I click on. Does Firefox have anything similar?

As another example, the text I’m typing here is barely legible for me.

I’m not blind or near-blind. I’m just an average middle-aged person, who started having eyesight problems magically appear at 40.

Second attempt = I asked this before, but got no answer. I get a pop-up every day say "Browser extension is missing. Click to install the Browsing protection for Firefox. I cannot use the extension because it prevents me from watching certain videos on You Tube. I watch April the Giraffes live feed everyday, and it won't play with the extension enabled. How can I get rid of the pop-up?

I've tried accessing my add-ons in many ways but it always just opens a blank tab and not the actual add-ons page, there's nothing in the search bar. It just looks like this. I've tried restarting Firefox and that did not help.

Three years ago I asked this question and received a good answer (see https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1168880) but the solution posted then stopped working a few releases ago. That solution was to use some css

 #PopupAutoCompleteRichResult .autocomplete-richlistitem {
   height: 26px !important;
   min-height: 26px !important;
 }

but the suggested css no longer seems to have any effect. Any ideas how I can get a nice compact drop-down list?
