One of the best features of Firefox over the years has always been the ability to add new tool bars. This was brilliant for storing your Add-on icons.

Is this gone now? If not, how do I go about adding new toolbars. Running Firefox MSIX-1.0. 111.0.1 64-bit. Windows MSIX package.

In the past when I saw an article that I wanted to email to myself, I would click on the envelop icon and it would go to “choose and application to open the mail to link” I would choose if I remember correctly Yahoo and it would open up.

Now the only choice I have if Firefox, and when I click on it nothing happens. What is the problem?

Under”Choose other Applications”, there is nothing to forward that article to me.

Team,

I have an M2 macbook air. On average, Firefox on my Mac uses between 850megs and frequently well over a gig of my system's RAM. I have deleted all of my extensions (this helped a tiny bit), but the issue remains. It is noteworthy that Chrome, which has more windows opened and is used more frequently, only reports RAM usage of 125 megs up to 275 megs. Please help me.

Systems details M2 Macbook Air Ventura 13.3 (the issue remains between several software upgrades) Firefox 111.0.1 version (again, this memory issue remains after many software upgrades)

OK I have been quiet about this issue for over a year. How difficult to put the cursor in the Search Box in the middle of the screen when Firefox loads? FWW the search boxes at the top of the page are close to worthless. One requires I know the URL address how often do you know the URL ? The other one is completely useless IMHO. And if it was useful what is the point of the Search Box in the middle of the screen? Something for me to Click In To. Let's think about User Experience where the application has well designed UI.

I have physical limitations and need to use middle mouse button to scroll.

However, in Firefox, middle mouse button to scroll is interrupted whenever the mouse hovers over a hyperlink or linked object -- and, fun fact, there are A LOT of links on the Internet, so this equates to a very janky and sub-optimum experience, in my personal use-case.

How can I make it so that the middle mouse button functionality is not hijacked by mouse-over context? I've already tried/disabled middle-mouse-button-click-to-open-link-in-new-tab.

I want to download rather than play an .wmv file. I cannot find where the setting is that causes firefox to play the file rather than download it.

Additionally my firefox is apparently set to let my organization control my settings. I have not organization even though this appears to be limiting what I can do with some settings. how do I change this?

No pages explain what sync really is. I would assume the data stored on firefox central for my account would be compared to the data (bookmarks in particualr) on the device and that the 2 lists are shared equally so both end up different from the start but the same as each other. Now I dont know and help pages do not discuss what sync actually does!

So my laptop went crazy today and the bookmarks listed suddenyl all point to totally different webpages, some of which I had visited recently but not bookmarked. It follows I have lost my bookmarks then. So I used sync, thinking it would restore my bookmarks correctly but it did not - it seems to have uploaded the new false bookmarks to Firefox, which in turn downloaded them to my other devices so, thanks to Firefox sync, I have effectively lost dozens of bookmarks across all my devices and I cannot find help which is useful.

Is there a way to restore those devices to the bookmarks stored yesterday?

My computer recently did an update and since then every time I save a bookmark it's displayed as the link to the page, which is not especially useful for me. Before it usually displayed as the page name. I typically save bookmarks by highlighting the link in the search field and dragging it to where I want it, as I have so many bookmarks that simply saving it is far too inconvenient. Is there a way I can change it so that when I save it my usual way it will show as the page name rather than the link? I tried going into troubleshoot mode and the issue still happened, so I'm fairly certain the problem isn't any of my extensions.

Hello,

When I post threads in Twitter, the thread/tweet scroll bar does not work in Firefox. When I click on the scroll bar it asks if i want to discard thread. I don't have this problem in Chrome. I've played around in settings and have the most recent version of Firefox and the issue is still there. Thanks.

Change location so Google Search & Google Maps work properly

Hi all,

I just started working from home for a UK branch of an USA company. My work involves having to use VPN to their USA head office. It all works fine. My location is obviously incorrect showing that my computer is located in the USA in their home city. I understand that.

It causes me problems with Google Search because it always show me USA based results, not UK based results. I need to be able to force Google to show me results from the UK. No, going to www.google.co.uk doesn't work, it still shows me the USA biased results.

To a lesser extent, it causes me problems with Google Maps as it keep on searching the wrong areas and returning the wrong results/directions.

I understand the VPN is causing the location issue, I am not disputing that. I am asking how to make Firefox show Google my actual location, please? I'd much prefer to avoid browser extensions. I tried changing "geo.provider.network.url" in "about:config". https://browserleaks.com/geo shows the fixed location, i.e., the location I put in. However, Google isn't fooled by this and still show me the wrong location in the USA.

Any way to force Google to show me the correct location, please? Many thanks.

Hi. Just a couple of days ago, Firefox lost the ability to load the website "ebay.com.au". The UK ebay website loads fine. As does the USA ebay website. I have tried running Firefox in troubleshooter mode disabling all extensions, no fix. I have been able to test this problem on one other Desktop PC, whom also is unable to load (ebay.com.au). Both PC's are 64-bit Windows 10 and have separate router and Internet connections. Both PC's are using the latest Desktop Firefox (111.0.1). I have tested disabling the software (BitDefender) Firewall on the PC, did not fix.
