Menu nesting on Privacy and Security settings harder to use

Hi, Version 152.0.1 running on Windows 11 Desktop (25H2 Build 36200.8655) on high end PC (Ryzen 9 7950X3D, 64GB RAM, RTX 4090) has a harder to use interface using Privacy… (read more)

Hi,

Version 152.0.1 running on Windows 11 Desktop (25H2 Build 36200.8655) on high end PC (Ryzen 9 7950X3D, 64GB RAM, RTX 4090) has a harder to use interface using Privacy and Settings. Previous versions allowed one screen access to clearing the browser cache of Cookies and setting the Customised Tracking Protection. Now I have to delete the browser cache then click on Advanced Settings, then Customise Tracking Protection so two more Clicks (menu Selections) to do what used to be available on the first screen after clicking/selecting Privacy and Security.

I can use the mouse side buttons to revert (Cherry device) screen forwards and backwards but it is still two extra actions. Used to do quite a bit of Beta testing for FastCad (Mike Riddle Evolution Computing) and this was often designed to keep any action only 2 levels deep. I also denested the (drop down) menus to get rid of the 'flyout menus' items in a drop down to simplify access. One of the better interfaces of any CAD program ever designed. Better than Rhino (which I use) with it's 1200 command icons to remember...even though that is far from the worst. Icons harder to rememeber than text btw.

To this day there are many programs that do not allow this denesting or those that put choices way down a string of menu picks. I find this approach very hard to decipher and not at all intuitive. Some like Creo from PTC are really difficult. Please revert the 'improvement' to the prior state so both clearing the cache and setting the level of Tracking Protection can be done from one screen. I use this several times a day to keep the chance of any unwanted software finding it's way into the box to a minimum.

I hope this is constructive criticism for what is a great product. Thanks all at Mozilla for their hard work and helping us users keep safe on the Web.

I REALLY don't want to see prompts like this ... when FF upgrades to a newer release. I postponed clicking on adding this application since I really didn't know what it as going to do, or how to remove it once done. The little 'i' in the red circle did nothing. So - I finally clicked on it to make it go away. Not hat I call a very seamless upgrade.

I only use Firefox to play two browser games that both use the 1-5 keys as an alternative to clicking the mouse. Accidentally clicking Ctrl and switching tabs out of nowhere is becoming a really annoying problem, but I don't see any way to just turn off shortcuts and hotkeys like other the other browsers I use. Is there any way to do this? Even a specific extension that makes the Crtl button do nothing would help, the one I was recommended won't download due to a "corruption".

Dear Firefox Community,

I don't want to follow football. I don't want to see world time. I don't want to download Firefox for mobile. I don't want to change my home screen background. I don't want any new widgets automatically enabled.

Kindly tell me if there are any setting/options/flags (including in about:config ) to avoid any new popups about all those very useful features for as long as possible.

Whenever I select text and click on the highlighted text, I'll try grabbing it at where the first letter is highlighted, since that's what I'm used to on any other platform, and it doesn't register, as if i clicked off of the highlight. It only happens when i try dragging it. is there a setting that can help change this to let me drag the first letter?

How Can I Double Click to Upload Files?

Firefox recently had an update, and now when I am uploading files, I can't double click to upload selected files. I have to first select the file, and then click the open button.

Before the latest Firefox update, I could simply double click on files to upload. This workflow was much faster.

If I go to about:config, and search for: widget.use-xdg-desktop-portal.file-picker, I can change the value from 0 to 2, and then I can upload files by double clicking. However, then Firefox forgets my last upload location, and always opens in the home folder.

If I set it back to 0, it remembers my last upload location, but I can't double click to open files.

My current Firefox version is 152.0.1. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
