I used to get a display in the middle of a "New Page" with Firefox - recent revisions have removed that and I only get a Google search bar at top of new page. Help is appreciated. What I am looking for is displayed in images from my Chrome browser - similar, but not like the way Firefox displayed it.

Window size not remembered perfectly

Hello, I have the same issue that Ferento posted about here 11 months ago: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1355904

When starting a new firefox instance, it starts the window with the same size and position as the last instance had. However, when the last size stretched from top of the screen to the bottom, a new instance will always appear slightly shorter than the height of the screen, leaving a small gap between the bottom of the browser window and the bottom of the screen. The remembered size works perfectly for sizes less than the height of the screen.

The xulstore.json file is not corrupt, as I've tried removing it and altering it, resulting in the same issue. I have also tried changing the window height inside the xulstore.json file to larger than the screen size, and found that it get's cropped to slightly less than the window height, same as my issue above. This has led me to believe that when firefox starts a new instance, the size is cropped so that it doesn't extend past the screen borders. This is good, but the size it gets cropped to is clearly bugged, unless it's intended to crop to less than screen size.

I use a window manager that lets me easily snap windows to each other as well as to the screen borders, so firefox always leaving a slight gap when it starts drives me mad as I have to manually resize it every time.

I use windows 10, firefox 106.0 (64 bit), however I experience the same issue with both firefox developer edition and firefox nightly.

Recent changes have made my private browsing windows create a separate item on my taskbar. Is there any currently existing method to revert this to allow them to share a single icon other than downgrading firefox?

Why are both the Firefox and Edge Web Browsers blocking the Republican National Committee (RNC) Web Site "protectthevote.com" web site and functions? Our country is supposed to have the most "safe and secure" election system, so why is there a block on any effort "To Protect The Vote?" This is a grossly partisan action as if the DNC is controlling the Firefox and Edge Web Browsers. As an registered independent voter I'm requesting your tech team look into the below error code and correct this issue: Error 403 Forbidden Forbidden Error 54113 Details: cache-den8256-DEN 1666194678 467245676 Varnish cache server

It seems that the base colours of some add-on themes shows, but most of them just shows as a dark grey background for the firefox homepage. It shows the theme on the tab pages and bookmarks and etc, but it just cuts to grey after. I tried: Reinstalling firefox Setting the 'Override the colours specified by the page with your selection above' to 'Never' Went to the troubleshoot mode, which, for some reason, wouldn't let me click anything I reset Firefox It does the same thing with Firefox nightly and other firefox browsers.

Help!!!

Hello,

I am experiencing an issue with Sync for my Containers. I've run through this several times now, and I know this is supposed to happen by default. However, it is not syncing for me. I added the extension, created a container and added a site to it. I selected 'Limit to Designated Sites'. When I install Firefox and login on a different device, the multi-container extension is automatically downloaded but not the containers/site list I created on the initial device.

I have checked 'Enable Sync' on both devices in the container settings.

Thank you

Outlook Exchange Cut & Paste

Just recently I started having a problem with Firefox when accessing my Microsoft Outlook Exchange via your web browser. When I right click in the body of a new or response email, the drop down menu only gives me the first 3 options "EMOJI", "COPY" and "CUT". It doesn't continue to provide the "PASTE" and "PASTE WITH TEXT ONLY" options. This only happens in the body of the email, not the subject line or "TO" lines. It also only happens with one specific account login - [email]@christ-the-lord.org and only in Firefox. If I login with a different Microsoft account, the issue isn't there. If I use another browser, the issue isn't there. But if I login with this same account on another computer, the issue is in both places, again just with Firefox, restricted to the body of the email in Outlook exchange web login.

I can only assume that this account has some type of safety feature turned on that is preventing the ability to cut and paste into the body of the email, but I cannot figure out what it is. My IT guy doesn't know what would be causing this either. I tried refreshing Firefox. It didn't help but this also doesn't explain why the same thing is happening on different computers. Any suggestions?

I remember using Firefox before and when I clicked a regular link , it would open it in the current tab, but when I used my MMB, it would open a new tab. I can get either one to work individually, but not at the same time. Is there a way to have both active at the same time?

For months now, Firefox is not deleting the history on exit, despite the option being ticked. Here is what I tried already:

  • Made sure the option to delete the history on exit is actually ticked
  • Made sure the sub-options describing what data to delete are all ticked
  • Unticked and re-enabled the aforementioned options
  • Diabled all addons and restarted the browser
  • Disabled sync and restarted the browser
  • Enabled Troubleshoot Mode and restarted the browser
  • Followed the support article regarding this issue: http://mzl.la/1BAQrbZ (except the nuclear option)

Manually triggering the deletion of history and cookies does still work. Following are the prefs.js options concerning privacy: user_pref("privacy.clearOnShutdown.offlineApps", true); user_pref("privacy.cpd.offlineApps", true); user_pref("privacy.cpd.siteSettings", true); user_pref("privacy.donottrackheader.enabled", true); user_pref("privacy.history.custom", true); user_pref("privacy.purge_trackers.date_in_cookie_database", "0"); user_pref("privacy.sanitize.pending", "[{\"id\":\"newtab-container\",\"itemsToClear\":[],\"options\":{}},{\"id\":0,\"itemsToClear\":[\"cache\",\"cookies\",\"offlineApps\",\"history\",\"formdata\",\"downloads\",\"sessions\",\"siteSettings\"],\"options\":{\"progress\":{\"clearHonoringExceptions\":true}}},{\"id\":1,\"itemsToClear\":[\"cache\",\"cookies\",\"offlineApps\",\"history\",\"formdata\",\"downloads\",\"sessions\",\"siteSettings\"],\"options\":{\"progress\":{\"clearHonoringExceptions\":true}}},{\"id\":\"shutdown\",\"itemsToClear\":[\"cache\",\"cookies\",\"offlineApps\",\"history\",\"formdata\",\"downloads\",\"sessions\"],\"options\":{}}]"); user_pref("privacy.sanitize.sanitizeOnShutdown", true); user_pref("privacy.sanitize.timeSpan", 0); user_pref("privacy.trackingprotection.enabled", true); user_pref("privacy.trackingprotection.socialtracking.enabled", true); user_pref("privacy.userContext.enabled", true); user_pref("privacy.userContext.extension", "CanvasBlocker@kkapsner.de"); user_pref("privacy.userContext.ui.enabled", true);

Is there anything else I could try, except nuking my profile?

Hi, I've cleared cookies and cache and still can't get gmail to work in Firefox 106. Delete doesn't work, even the back button doesn't work.

Also, I don't like the latest color styles. I was happy with the default Firefox look in the previous version. How do I get it back?
