Typing about:config in the address bar does not bring up a list of configuration files. All it does is produce a google search list of YouTube and Mozilla help sites. How can I access Firefox configuration files so I can stop websites from refreshing?

hello yesterday i updated my Win10N to 22H2 version. since then i dont have audio on X videos and get error messages on nius clips (see pic) in about:support shows h264 acc and hevc as unsupported. but i cant tell if this is new or not. anyway k-lite codec pack should make them supported, right? to further narrow down the problem i used edge and visited nius and twitter and both worked fine, so the problem must be firefox. so im out of ideas how to fix that. anyone can help me? my help request on reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/1fs2in3/need_helppossible_codec_problem/

Hello,

After a few days I noticed that the option "open with" on the downloads dialog is always grayed out (see the attached picture).

If I go on the settings and tell the browser to not ask and open directly the file, it opens without any problem... (actually it shows an advertisement saying it is an executable file, but when I dismiss it, it opens)

Here are my system setup: Nom: Firefox Version: 130.0.1 Identifiant de compilation: 20240913135723 ID de distribution: mozilla-deb Canal de mise à jour: release Agent utilisateur: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:130.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/130.0 Système d’exploitation: Linux 6.1.0-25-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.1.106-3 (2024-08-26) Thème du système d’exploitation: Breeze / Adwaita Binaire de l’application: /usr/lib/firefox/firefox-bin

Does anybody else is having this issue? Any ideas on how can I fix it?

Thanks in advance for all your help,

Best regards, Marc

EDIT: I just tested the behavior on the "base" Firefox-ESR, and it works as expected, as you can see on the 2nd attached file, esr.png... Version: 28.2.0esr Identifiant de compilation: 20240826114743 ID de distribution: mozilla-deb Canal de mise à jour: esr

Just as the title goes. I've been using Mozilla Firefox on desktop since 2005. The best hands down browser ever. I started using Firefox on android back in 2019.

I still love the android version, but my only problem with it is tabs. They stay open constantly. In the desktop application you close out and all the tabs close. In the android version I swipe up and there still there next time I load in. I don't like this at all. Unless I quit out of Firefox from the submenu, the tabs will stay open indefinitely.

I was hoping Mozilla could add an option to auto close tabs in 6 hours or something like that. Or close out tabs when I swipe up in android.

I have moved about 20 friends and family to Firefox and it's always going to be Firefox from now on. You guys rock!

Dear Mozilla Support Team,

I hope this message finds you well. I have encountered several issues while using Firefox, particularly with tab synchronization between devices and general performance when switching profiles. It seems that tabs do not sync reliably, and there are significant slowdowns when managing profiles on my Android device.

I would appreciate it if you could guide me towards the best way to resolve these issues, or let me know if there is a workaround available. I am an avid Firefox user and would love to see these issues resolved.

Thank you for your help and support.

Best regards Tibor

Starting yesterday my phone apparently self enabled Caller ID to display Caller as unknown.

Is this a case of infiltration.

Also when I type on the keyboard letters don't seem to sync with the key I typed, please your assistance will be highly appreciated and remove the grief. Typing is rather slow you might type a specific key, yet the letters are spaced involuntarily

Greetings. I bought a new phone and downloaded the latest version of FF for Android. I use Private Browsing mode on both phines. This new version has the Search Suggestions from Boommarks and I don't like it. It's too distracting for me. My question: How do I turn it off? Thank you.

Information Your browser is being managed by your organization.

I am 75 years old. I am RETIRED there is NO REASON for an organization to be in CONTROL of ANYTHING on my computer. How do I STOP THIS?

I don't know if this is related or not, but Something is BLOCKING my ability to use check boxes or circles. Sometimes I can see the box but my response is NOT VISIBLE. Tonight I was trying to complete a survey and the questions were visible but I was COMPLETELY UNABLE to see the answer boxes/circles. Sometimes they would be briefly visible when the page initially opened but QUICKLY DISAPPEARED and were NOT identifiable by manipulating my cursor using mouse, space bar, or tab bar.

I have stayed with Firefox as my default browser for several DECADES and PREFER NOT to change now. BUT this MUST STOP!

So, There's this website called pw.live and I use it for study purposes. And I've recently switched to linux and installed firefox. But that website loads but any videos or live streams don't. Even though it works perfectly fine on Windows version of firefox.

I tried to search about this and it may be because the content is DRM protected. I'm just speculating though it may be broken for some very different reason. I also looked into solutions to fix DRM related issues. And found some solutions but the plugin Widevine Content Decryption Module provided by Google Inc. just doesn't exist in the plugins tab. There is only "OpenH264 Video Codec" there. And I think that might be the problem.

Thanks in advance.
