Firefox Community Forum

Hi

So I started up just now and when I started firefox it asked me what profile I wanted to use. I have only ever used one profile but I do believe there are some default ones as I seem to remember seeing multiple ones when I did some customizing awhile back.

Anyways I chose the one I always use and it loaded fine but I noticed in my task bar that the icon now shows a small profile icon.

I want the firefox icon there but I DO NOT want the profile icon on top of the icon as so many icons will pop up showing how many alerts you have and such and I DO NOT need a useless alert on the icon telling me which profile I am using.

I posted a screen shot of what my icon now looks like where as this morning before an apparent update it just showed the normal firefox icon.

So is there a way to remove that profile icon from the firefox icon?

Also I have noticed on my right click menu where I can select to open in a new tab and such it has also added grouping features to group tags. Is there a way to remove these unwanted options as I DO NOT want to group my tabs and it's annoying when I accidentally click that option instead of the new tab option. So for this is there a way to remove certain menu items that I do not need or want? I also added a screen shot for that menu question as well

Thanks!

I usually use rightclick+T to open new tab. And now sometimes it do a screenshot instead. Specially in some website that highlighting a link will popup an ui. So I want to disable this screenshot shortcut (but keep the open new tab shortcut).

Is there anyway to do it? Thank you!

There is no simple way to add mailto:"mail.proton.me in settings.

I can delete Google but there's no option add an alternative. Settings is looking for an app, not an email provider address. I had to modify handlers.json to make it work.

When I resize a regular Firefox window (in Windows 11), I can resize it to have a quite a small width.

If I pin the same website to the taskbar to make it into a web app, now I can't resize it to the same width, and the windows appear locked to a much larger width.

This is annoying because specific web apps can be resized a lot smaller to fit that specific site's interface. If anything, I would want to make the windows smaller more often than I would with regular Firefox windows.

If there's a setting to turn off this width limit, I would really appreciate it!

Thank you so much!

sense the last update, the web page returns to top of page each time I leave the page and go back to it. It didn't do the before and it is very inconvenient for me. I can't find a setting to get it back to where it was? Please give me steps to salve my problem?

In other browsers (Brave, for example, and Chrome) I can open a drop down menu, and while holding Ctrl choose multiple sites to view. In Firefox, if I drop the menu and choose one site, the menu disappears before I can choose others, even if I hold the Ctrl key. I have to reopen the menu for every site I want from that menu. Is there a way to make FF act like other browsers in this respect?

When I click on HyperLink with link as "view-source:https://rt-admin.ratetiger.com:8443/RTAdminDashboard/ARIDeltaReportWeblDetailAction?websitereqid=1060005747&xmltype=REQUEST_XML" in Firefox it should show the below page:- <Website name="Bookings-XML" CurrencyCode="ZAR" travelSiteDcode="140700">

But to avail the above I have to click on View Page Source option. How to correct the setting of Firefox to have this directly.

When you go to the "Help and Support" section, a link for transferring data to another device appears. It clashes with the overall design and is annoying. Please remove it.

Hello, We are in Morocco, where Time zone has become GMT+00 or UTC after the 20th Sept 2026, the IANA has already published this change within 2026c update, but Firefox browser desktop still using GMT+1 for Africa/Casablanca time zone.

I've installed the latest Firefox desktop update until now : 156.0.1 (64-bit)

test : console.log("Detected IANA zone:", Intl.DateTimeFormat().resolvedOptions().timeZone); console.log("Date.toString():", new Date().toString()); console.log("getTimezoneOffset() (minutes):", new Date().getTimezoneOffset());

result: Detected IANA zone: Africa/Casablanca debugger eval code:1:9 Date.toString(): Sun Sep 27 2026 13:41:40 GMT+0100 (GMT+01:00) debugger eval code:2:9 getTimezoneOffset() (minutes): -60

I upgraded to 156 and the new tab informs me of a new ad-blocker feature. It tells me to open Settings - Browing - Ad Blocker. I did that and that option is not appearing!

Firefox will not show pop-ups anymore. How do I get firefox to show pop-ups? Too many legitimate sites use pop-ups for things like private medical informations, banking, etc. and this change was made without warning anyone. Many of the pop ups will NOT open in a new window. How do I disable this unwanted feature that is blocking pop-ups? I am locked out of certain GOVERNMENT sites as well!

I have "Open previous windows and tabs" and "Open Firefox automatically when your computer starts up" boxes checked in my settings.

Firefox is not opening automatically and my previous tabs are not showing up.

Thanks

I have a cmdfile to open specific news websites in a private window. The syntax of the cmdfile line is

start "" "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -private-window %*

with a "timeout /t 2 /nobreak" call for a 2 secs pause between each to give things time to get going (firefox seems to trip up if I rush it with URLs using start command .. probably understandable).

This works, but all "windows" open in a new tab in the existing or initial private window instance. I want them to each open in their own instance of a private window. It seems to be behaving like the option -new-tab rather than a genuine new private window for each URL.

What option/s do I need to use to get a true new private window with just the specified URL open in a single tab for each URL I have coded?
