I posted this earlier today and can't seem to get back to where it is shown. The above code is what I woke up to on Firefox. Subsequently, I reinstalled a second edition of the browser and it works fine with the exception that I can't install Dashlane on the second version. When I attempt to install Dashlane, the previous version of Firefox opens and wants to install Dashlane itself which, of course, is useless as that version is where I get "Error code: SEC_ERROR_BAD_SIGNATURE" continuously. My question is, how do I get rid of the offending version of the browser?

I want to find out how to stop incessant update notifications on a MacBook Pro. Respectfully, please no lectures about just going ahead and updating or how I should keep my browser updated. We all make personal choices about how we want to manage our technology. I googled this first and found so many other people asking the same question, but no firm solutions. As you know, in preferences I have the option to allow automatic updates or to first be asked before updating, but it's a Morgan's Fork. If you don't allow automatic updates - which is out of the question - then they are going to bug the pee out of you until you update. That makes me dig my heels in deeper. Either I find a way to turn off these annoying notifications or I am done with Firefox. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

The Other Bookmarks folder is located on the far right side of the toolbar instead of being a movable folder. This happened after Firefox crashed and I lost all my preferences (any help with that?) I tried to use the method that jscher2000 recommended when I asked this before but the only thing it did was remove the folder entirely from the toolbar.

Hello,

When I go full screen mode on firefox (version: 87.0 64 bit) and mac (version: Big Sur 11.2.3) both the top and bottom apple tool bars go away (which I want to happen) but the firefox search bar and bookmarks are still there on top.

When I go FS on my windows computer, the full web page displays and then when I hover op top the firefox search bar pops down until I hover off it, this is what I want to happen on my mac!

See attachment of firefox search bar staying while in FS mode and please help! Thank you for your time.

I have enabled HTTPS-only to everywhere.

Unfortunately I have a site that I need to use for work. The site is only available over a VPN, so security isn't a huge concern to the site operators.

The really unfortunately part is that the webserver seems to be poorly configured. So if I go to "https://dumb-work-url.com" then it resolves, but then just shows me a 404 error. I really need just vanilla "http://dumb-work-url.com" to work. As far as I can tell the override option that is on the padlock only works if I land on the functioning page.

I can disable HTTPS-only, and then go to the site, but then the padlock doesn't give me the option to disable HTTPS-only for just that website. I'd really rather keep HTTPS-only on all the time since I'll need to be visiting this site quite a bit.

I need a way to add this url to an HTTPS-only "off" exception list before I visit it. Is there a way to do that?

on the https site, I turned off HTTPS-only (under the padlock), but that setting either isn't working, or isn't applying to the http version.

Hi,

I know this is been asked and discussed multiple times over the years. But the current [CTRL+TAB] and [CTRL+PGUP/PGDOWN] are less that optimum for people who use Mac's.

We like to use CMD+[CTRL/SHIFT]+Left/Right. If there would a menu item for the two operations then it's quite easily do do via keyboard settings. But as that has been removed we're stuck with something which doesn't really work on notebook as there aren't any PGUP/PGDOWN keys ....

Please make it programmable or add the "Next Tab..." and "Previous Tab..." back to the Window menu.

Cheers.

I recently had to have my iMac wiped and restored, and ever since, the ESPN website has looked weird.

Here's how it looks on Safari -- to be clear, this is how it should look and used to look on Firefox:


And here's how it has looked recently on Firefox.


Notice how the black banner at the top is cut off on Firefox, and how the Top Headlines bar isn't visible. I've tried resizing the Firefox window and still have this problem. Happy for any suggestions you have.

I have been trying to edit a preexisting theme from mozilla store by using this link. I was wondering whether there was a way to make a section other than the top header an image, because in the colors bit I can only add rgb or css color string.

Here is the code just in case: {

 "manifest_version": 2,
 "version": "1.0",
 "name": "Animated Kimi no Na wa",
 "theme": {
   "images": {
     "additional_backgrounds": [
       "images/your_name-cropped.gif"
     ]
   },
   "properties": {
     "additional_backgrounds_alignment": [
       "center center"
     ],
     "additional_backgrounds_tiling": [
       "repeat"
     ]
   },
   "colors": {
     "toolbar": "rgba(31, 34, 61, 0.24)",
     "toolbar_text": "rgb(180, 201, 240)",
     "frame": "rgb(8, 11, 33)",
     "tab_background_text": "rgb(255,255,255)",
     "toolbar_field": "rgba(54, 58, 89, 0.69)",
     "toolbar_field_text": "rgb(255, 255, 255)",
     "tab_line": "rgb(205, 35, 185)",
     "popup": "rgb(31, 34, 61)",
     "popup_text": "rgb(215, 226, 239)",
     "popup_highlight": "rgb(205, 35, 185)",
     "popup_highlight_text": "rgb(180, 201, 240)",
     "tab_loading": "rgb(205, 35, 185)",
     "ntp_background": "rgb(42,42,46)"
   }
 }

}

Recently I installed an upgrade and since then I can't play youtube videos embeded on pages or straight from youtube. I get the message: 'Did Not Connect: Potential Security Issue

Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to www.youtube.com because this website requires a secure connection.

What can you do about it?

www.youtube.com has a security policy called HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), which means that Firefox can only connect to it securely. You can’t add an exception to visit this site.'

I also can't play videos from an online course I have been doing for weeks and a webinar series but at the beginning of the webinar series a few days ago I could. I'm now getting the message: "The media could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed or because the format is not supported."

I'm having to use Chrome to access all these things and I hate Chrome. I'm not tech savy so please help.
