There seems to be no possible way to change the shortcut for peeking at the tabs in the sidebar (when sidebar revamp is enabled) from the about:keyboard UI. I have so far managed to modify the shortcut through intercepting function calls.

What I have done: 1. Read through the JS source code for about:keyboard which says the shortcut ID is `toggleSidebarKb` 2. Added hooks to intercept `RPMSendQuery` calls 3. Modified the shortcut through devtools open on the about:keyboard page with the following snippet

```js await RPMSendQuery("CustomKeys:ChangeKey", {

 "modifiers": "accel",
 "isValid": true,
 "key": "S",
 "shortcut": "Ctrl+S",
 "id": "toggleSidebarKb"

}) ```

The way I am doing it is definitely a hack. I am not sure if I am missing something. Although the shortcuts for bookmarks, history, and GenAI chat sidebar are present, there seems to be no entry to change the sidebar toggle shortcut itself. I'd love to work on this but I haven't been able to mach bootstrap on NixOS.

Thank you for any assistance :)

I like to use picture-in-picture mode to watch a YouTube video in the corner of my screen while editing an image or playing an online game (since I like having something to keep my brain active while I'm doing something). Recently, however, this has resulted in my computer locking up. I don't really know how to describe it succinctly, but audio becomes super stuttery and it takes a second or more to render a single frame. Last night this resulted in the loss of an in-progress image (don't worry, I took photos of my screen so I could recreate the image), so I want to figure out how to stop this.

Just to cover my bases, here's my specs:

Device name LAPTOP-AI6N0TEJ Processor 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-1215U (1.20 GHz) Installed RAM 40.0 GB (39.7 GB usable) Device ID BDD80B46-B5E1-4B25-9FA0-3F833BD30C05 Product ID 00356-07436-33870-AAOEM System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor Pen and touch No pen or touch input is available for this display Edition Windows 11 Home Version 25H2 Installed on ‎11/‎7/‎2025 OS build 26200.7840 Serial number PF4RQKQJ Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.26100.291.0 Manufacturer Lenovo

Why can't Firefox open .mht email extensions within its default browser? It has never done so to my knowledge. They always point to Internet Explorer or Microsoft Edge.

Often an email may not display images correctly and the ability to open them in a web browser is offered, "If there are problems with how this message is displayed, click here to view it in a web browser." This is certainly a development addition when people view their Gmail from Firefox or use Outlook. Not everybody uses APPS. People who don't want Microsoft Edge watching every move they make have made effective permanent changes in removing the deep embedded PUP by Microsoft.

I have been with Firefox since Netscape Navigator so I understand how it works. I have a Bulletin Board Forum (work on it daily). Posting to the forum using long form bbcode is very time consuming and tedious.

I've been using bbCode for Web Extensions (bbCodeWebEx) (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/bbcodewebex/) for years and up until the recent Firefox update it has worked perfectly.

Matthew G. Saroff (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/user/96273/) was the developer of the extension.

I have tried using the extension on multiple sites. The extension is there and functional but nothing registers in the edit windows. not even here.... I've looked for replacement extensions but none have the specific abilities I need for posting on my forum. Specifically- The ability to select an img coded image address and make it link to a specific webpage url. Other common bbcode can be tagged using the edit window's fully enabled wysiwyg editor. [img]https://i.imgur.com/d39upn1.jpeg/img

I'm not sure if other extensions are having issues with this release but the rest of my extensions function normally. Something changed which blocks the paste functionality of the coded clipboard text into the edit window. I might be a developer issue but my question to him is, as so far, unanswered.

I tried to install an older version of Firefox, Downloaded the install, created a new profile, uninstalled this version and it worked until I restarted Firefox (with updates set to manual). It automatically updated and I lost it again. I tried using ~about:profiles~ to revert but it reverted as that profile this version. Years ago, I used Waterfox so I could use the Legacy extensions. I stopped using it when I got accustomed to the new extensions. For the past few years, Firefox is the only browser I use. I don't want to have to cut my teeth on a new browser but as the administrator for my forum, I use bbcode everyday.

I am wondering if any other Firefox users are having issues with the recent update? Thank you for reading my concerns.
