Firefox Community Forum

For a long tome Chrome use to be my go to browser, but with all the recent changes and google buckling to legislation changes, I returned to Firefox as my primary browser. You see, because proxy settings can be set within the browser instead of system wide as with others, I primarily used Firefox to access private networks I was given access to. I still use Firefox for this, but mow for everything else too.

I see that there can be multiple profiles set up, which I hope would allow me to quickly swap between proxied connections and non-proxied connections. The problem I ave found, is how hard it was to find this setting with the latest iteration of firefox. It used to be a simple matter of scrolling all the way to the bottom of the settings screen, now I've had to hunt high and low just to find it. Whilst I have mentioned multiple profiles already, if this does not allow me to quickly swap then its pointless. So, can we PLEASE have the proxy page put back where it was, nice and easily accessible,

I can't access the keyboard hotkeys config page as instructed in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/customize-keyboard-shortcuts-firefox. Typing about:keyboard into the address bar gives an Invalid URL error, as seen in the attached screenshot. I am able to access other about: pages.

How do I keep my online banking private when using Firefox as my browser? When using Google Chrome as my browser, I use incognito, but I'm changing to Firefox and need to know that my online banking is safe.

Hi,

I'm using Firefox 155.0.1 64bits, in Linux Mint Debian Edition 7, x11, XFCE4. I have a Belgian keyboard. I have noticed that the dead keys aren't working any more when typing text / messages from within Firefox. I don't have this problem in other browsers or applications.

I used xev (x11 utility) to check if the dead keys were working and tested a different keyboard, all work. I tried to start Firefox in safe mode or by starting Firefox from a terminal with the following commands: - env GTK_IM_MODULE=xim firefox - env GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus firefox

But nothing worked. The dead keys aren't working. The issue must come from Firefox for it is not an hardware issue (tried different keyboards) nor software (dead keys work in other applications).

Any idea to fix this ?

There must be some setting I accidentally engaged by hitting some kind of key combination but there are the contents of 2 separate tabs on the FF window. Maybe it's some new 'feature' they added but I right clicked on the tab and nothing looked like it applied to this. What is it and how can I make it stop? I just want each tab to have the contents for that site. If you know what's going on, maybe explain it simply and I'd also like to thank you.

I use Ubuntu Linux on my laptop: this OS was updated two days ago, from 24.04 to 24.04.2. Since then I have been unable to access my daily favourite website. A banner showing ACCESS DENIED is displayed, citing "unusual activity". I have attached a screenshot. I have discovered that I CAN access the website in the Brave browser. But Firefox is my preferred browser. I have tried deleting browsing history, opening a Private Window, rebooting the laptop but nothing has worked. I do have some Firefox folders, on containing stored passwords, another containing a recovery file but I don't know how to safely proceed now. What is the best way forward for me to allow me to access my favourite website? Should I create an entirely new account and if I do would I be able to import all my passwords and add-ons, etc.?

Hi, Firstly, thank you for all your services.

When working in a tab, Whatsapp, Youtube, or even Buzilla when I want to report this, the tab just crash's. Sometimes I can restore it immediately, but other times if I click on "Restore this tab" repeatedly, the whole window crash's!

The instructions for turning off notifications don't apply here, that setting is turned off and has never been turned on. Obfuscations about a Page Notification Window don't apply, that page of options does not appear. I get regular popups from Firefox to "turn on notifications" and I never will. Why is there not an easy and straightforward way to disable these popups? You seem to hide them by their name, are they notifications?

These are the annoying unnecessary waste of time tasks that drive users away. It doesn't matter what enabled them in the first place, I didn't. My explicit choice about notifications is clear and you have no reason and no permission to popup anything on my screen to question that choice.

Your UI discussions around, "it's OK if we do this for [reason], right?" needs to be modified to "for what specific purpose would we popup a question a user must answer, and how will the user react?" This is basic software design and it's really sad to see you fail this badly.

So when I start to type `dis` in the URL bar to bring up Discord (yes, I use the Web version), I've started to see `Manage AI Controls`. This makes no sense to me. I have all those set to block. And `dis` doesn't appear at all anywhere in that setting title. Yet when I start typing in `ai`, that setting doesn't come up.

Something is fishy here.

This is v154.0.1 on Debian/Testing, from Mozilla repository.

The latest Snap update on my Kubuntu laptop is marked as a BETA version. I haven't selected the BETA stream. I like to keep track of changes at each install and there's no Release Notes available.

Is this an error at your end or do I need to change something to get back to a stable version?

Hi everybody!

My question is - is there a way to make the AI Chatbot text on the left-panel of Firefox bigger? I have already use zoom on the browser but it only make the text on the browser bigger but not the left-panel...
