Firefox Support Forum

Hi,

For years I have read directions to get my tabs back where is most logical for me, below the Bookmarks Toolbar. Now with this latest version of Firefox the workarounds I had before are not working.

To cut a long story short: I have made a Chrome folder under the Profile folder I have made CSS sheet with what looks like the commands I need. I have configured Firefox to read the userChrome.css sheet.

I have followed all the directions on this thread https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1375646 (most of which are repeated elsewhere) and it still doesn't work.

I am beyond frustrated - if anyone happens to know where I can go to request this as blinkin' option I would love to know.

Please could someone help me sort this out in the meantime though?

This is what is in the CSS sheet (which is in the correct place according to the above instructions - checked that already):

Thank you in advance.

Hello, I am using an AutoConfig setup to specify proxy settings for the browser. I can see that the AutoConfig file is being read and the proxy settings are being set. However they don't appear to be applied to the browsing session. I can get them to apply by going to settings, searching for proxy, clicking the network settings, then clicking OK (without modifying any of the settings) The proxy then works. My question is: why do I, as a user, have to interact with the proxy settings for them to be used even though they are set? I am running Firefox ESR 102.9 on Rocky Linux 8.7

Thank you Matt

I'm trying to migrate from Chrome to Firefox browser. I cant load Twitter and some other links. I get error message. JavaScript not enabled. I can't find a setting anywhere to enable it. Help!!

I get an messages staing that my browser won't allow me to paste from my clipboard. I'm able to use this function in other application, Firefox seems to be my only issue. Can you instruct me how to allow the "paste" feature.

What is the "Find in page" toolbar called?

The 113.0.1 update (sic) moved it to the bottom of my page. I want to search for a way to restore it back to the upper part of the page (probably using userChrome).

(Note: I was happy with my setup in 112.0.2)

What configuration setting do I adjust if I want to change the font size of only the tabs and toolbar text, not the text of the window / body (managed with Windows' "Make text bigger" option)? I've made the text of the tabs and toolbar large enough for my taste, yet that same setting make the text for everything else in the browser way too big. I'd rather not download a third-party extension as the solution as that implies third-party data gathering. Thank you.

I want to be able to voice type searches in firefox on my laptop computer. I'd like to access and use the microphone to type when using firefox or on any site I visit via firefox. I want to put the cursor in a text box of any kind (e.g., a search box), turn on a microphone and voice type so that the words I speak are entered, like I do on my phone.

I'm amazed that "voice type in firefox did not yield any usable results. Please advise.

Recently I got a Mac computer and I installed Firefox in it. I can't find "About Firefox" in Application Menu.

How to show it in Application Menu like Windows and Linux?

I feel stupid but I can't find a way to add buttons for single addons to the menu-bar on top. I know in the past this was possible but now I have to click the button for "extentions" and there all addons can be found (see first screenshot). I would rather have buttons for single addons available in the menu-bar, for example for my ad-blocker. I tried "customize" but there the addons don't show up for some reason (see second screenshot - sorry that it's in german). I am not browsing in private mode in case you're wondering.

Edit: Okay nvm, I figured it out already. I didn't know I had to right-click the addons while in the extension-menu. I still find it kind of weird that the addons don't show up in the customize-view anymore.

Why was my ad blocker deleted after using it here for over 3 years? I pay for their services, yet you do not seem to care. Please resume the ad blocker to my account or refund me my money.

Hello folks,

I am writing to you because I am having a problem with the microphone in Firefox on Windows 11. The microphone works on all other apps on my computer, but it does not work in Firefox.

I have tried the following troubleshooting steps:

I checked if Firefox has permission to use my microphone. I restarted Firefox. I updated Firefox to the latest version. I disabled any extensions that I have installed in Firefox. I tried using a different microphone. I checked my computer's sound settings and volume mixer. I ran a virus scan on my computer. I reset Firefox to its default settings. I reinstalled Firefox. Tried downloading Firefox from Microsoft Store. Went through every article on the internet but none of the solutions worked in my case. After trying all of these steps, the microphone still does not work in Firefox.

I would appreciate it if you could help me troubleshoot this issue. My audio driver version is the latest that the manufacturer(Lenovo) could offer for my machine which is ideapad Creator 5-15IMH05 Laptop - Type 82D4, Windows update also does not offer any newer version than the one i am currently using.

Thank you for your time.

Hello, today I wanted to replace the "about:newtab" background with a picture.

I've already tried a lot like creating an extension, and adding the chrome folder with "userChrome.css" or "userContent.css" but I haven't had any luck whatsoever.

Could you help me in any way?

My preferred way would be through an extension to share it with my friends.

I already thank you in advance! :)

Best regards, Leon

I installed Firefox-ESR on my Raspberry PI and noticed that I cannot play Udemy videos. After some research I found that the Widevine plugin is missing and the OpenH264 Video Codec is also not installed. Following the instructions from similar issues didn't solve the problem. I ticked off and on the "Play DRM-controlled content" button but this only brings the widevine plugin for a moment and after that it disappears. In the network tab I see no activity when click on this button, i.e. Firefox does not send requests.

Additionally the OpenH264 Video Codec is not installed and never installs.

Any ideas how to solve this?

There is an application which is launched by a script in Firefox. Basically it launches a print job. Unfortunately the application can't launch since Firefox says "User Gesture is Required". We temporarily added a button for a user gesture to be recorded but ultimately we don't want this button here. Is there any setting where we can bypass this "User Gesture is Required" check?
