Summary Reset a site or domain to be no longer associated with a Container
I accidentally assigned my search-engine domain to a container. As a result every single search I perform from the URL bar asks if I'd like to open it in the assigned container instead. I'll select 'Remember my decision, open in current tab' (the current tab being the base no-container Firefox user). Unfortunately this does nothing.
I've searched through the settings and options and I've found no option to get an overview of the domain configurations or to reset a certain site. I've read suggestions online to delete the container, but this isn't an acceptable approach to the problem.

If I set my tab title bar height to 30px in my userChrome.css the tab titles are no longer centered (top to bottom) on the tab bar. The top padding on the tab titles needs to be reduced by at least 3px and I would be grateful for a code snippet that does so.

All of my extensions just got moved into a single new extension button. I understand this feature was just added to 109 but is quite terrible.
I can no longer see my extensions on the toolbar. I now have to do even more clicks to access certain options or settings. Which is dumb as it now takes longer to get where you need to go.
This is a terribly added feature. Not sure how this passed. The quality of life is not improved in any shape or form with this. Only makes things worse.
For example. I have norton safe web and search. I now have to click on the extension button to see if a page is safe or now have to do multiple clicks to access that extension.
This new feature is terrible and I really hope it is reverted.

I am using DuckDuckGo with Firefox because I do not like auto suggestions filling up the search bar while I type. It's so annoying. I have ensured that Settings do not have auto complete in any way, but still they come. The only solution I can find on this website, which is Stop Auto Search in Firefox
There is a preference to change that back, but it does take a bit of work to find it because of the unusual name: (1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button accepting the risk. (2) In the search box in the page, type or paste handoff and pause while the list is filtered (3) Double-click the browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.improvesearch.handoffToAwesomebar preference to switch the value from true to false Success?
I had no success with it at all. Please, how can I stop this wretched feature? Thanks.

Hello.
I use the "Forget" button regularly. Recently, I've noticed that complete browser history (cookies and all) are all being deleted even though only 5 minutes or two hours are selected.
Any others having this issue? Doug

My mouse wheel does work when I try to scroll in any page. The scroll wheel works when I am scrolling though tabs but only if I am holding Shift or Ctrl. It also seems to work just fine in troubleshooting mode, but nothing else seems to work. This problem started just after Firefox updated to the newest version.

I'm not sure when this changed, but I can no longer shrink my search bar to make room for more extension shortcuts. There's no double-arrow, no option I can find in customizing (I've tried the unsupported compact thing). I've gotten myself so worked up over this, I'm sure I'm overlooking something obvious.
Thanks for your help.

Hello!
I have been using this userChrome.css code to hide the tab bar if there is only one tab (on Windows):
tab:only-of-type, tab:only-of-type + #tabs-newtab-button {
display: none !important;
}
#tabbrowser-tabs, #tabbrowser-arrowscrollbox, #tabbrowser-tabs > .tabbrowser-arrowscrollbox { min-height: 0 !important;
}
Since one of the recent Firefox updates, this code does no longer work. Maybe because there is a new element in the tab bar: A drop-down list at the right.
Any idea how to make the above code work again?

Every solution which I have found for Firefox 89 "Proton" so far which moves the Tabs Bar below the Navigation Bar (AKA "address bar"), with the Menu Bar above it, does NOT move the Tabs Bar below the Bookmarks Bar. The Bookmarks Bar appears to be overwritten and blank, and occupies space below the Menu Bar, Navigation Bar, and Tabs Bar. This empty space separates the three bars which are implemented and the content of the currently-selected tab below it.
Currently, my userChrome.css file is a copy posted by Cor-el (?):
@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* TABS: below nav-bar - fixed for 108+ */ /* ROOT -variables */ *|*:root { --tab-toolbar-navbar-overlap: 0px !important; --tab-min-height: 25px !important; /*override density*/ --tab-min-width: 80px !important; /*override default*/ } /* TABS: below nav-bar */ #navigator-toolbox toolbar:not(#nav-bar):not(#toolbar-menubar) { -moz-box-ordinal-group: 10 !important; } #TabsToolbar { -moz-box-ordinal-group: 1000 !important; } /* TABS: position */ #TabsToolbar { display: block !important; position: absolute !important; bottom: 0 !important; width: 100vw !important; } /* for 107 and lower - disable this rule in 108 and newer *//* #tabbrowser-tabs { width: 100vremovew !important; } */ /* navigator-toolbox: PADDING */ *|*:root:not([chromehidden*="toolbar"]) #navigator-toolbox { padding-bottom: calc(var(--tab-min-height) + 1px) !important; /*ADJUST*/ position: relative !important; } /* TABS: HEIGHT */ #tabbrowser-tabs, #tabbrowser-arrowscrollbox, #tabbrowser-tabs .tabbrowser-tab { min-height: var(--tab-min-height) !important; max-height: var(--tab-min-height) !important; } #tabbrowser-tabs, .tab-stack, .tab-content { height: var(--tab-min-height) !important; } /* TABS: APPEARANCE */ #TabsToolbar { height: var(--tab-min-height) !important; margin-bottom: 1px !important; box-shadow: ThreeDShadow 0 -1px inset, -moz-dialog 0 1px !important; /*OPTIONAL*/ background-color: var(--toolbar-bgcolor) !important; color: var(--toolbar-color) !important; } /* indicators - hide */ .private-browsing-indicator {display: none !important;} .accessibility-indicator {display: none !important;} /* window controls in full screen - hide*/ #TabsToolbar #window-controls {display: none !important;} /* caption buttons on tab bar - hide */ *|*:root[tabsintitlebar]:not([inFullscreen="true"]) #toolbar-menubar[autohide="true"] ~ #TabsToolbar .titlebar-buttonbox-container {display: none !important;}

Evidently, the text editor for this website does several things to the above original text that, frankly, seem unnecessary and undesirable. The .CSS file is just an unformatted text file, so what is the problem with simply copying its contents and pasting it in to the body of this post?
Which is also to say that I do NOT have a clue as to what any line in the file is meant to do, what effect it has, why it is even in the file at all, or why it is written in the way that it is. So DO NOT tell me that I "CAN" create a Cascading Style Sheet on my own when I cannot even modify one that has been provided.
On the face of it, something is missing from the above CSS text. What change needs to be made to the above content so that the Bookmark Bar will appear between the Navigation Bar and the Tabs Bar??
Thank-you very much for your time and attention to this request for assistance.

Hello,
I have a question about Firefox extensions that are not maintained anymore but still have the "Recommended" badge. I like several of them, but I am not sure whether I should still trust them (some have not been maintained for years according to Github).
I am very grateful in advance for any assistance on the matter!

OS - Ubuntu22 Firefox - Default firefox on ubuntu22 (Mozilla Firefox 103.0.1)
Use case - 1. Custom profile folder (named prof1) contains pref.js and chrome folder with custom css file. 2. prof1 is created in -> "/customData/profiles/prof1" 3. The folder "/customData" has full rwx permissions and is owned by $USER (not by root)
Output -> 1. When launching firefox mentioning the profile -> "$ firefox --profile /customData/profiles/prof1"
The browser does not load, but there is an error box saying Profile Missing Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible.
Questions ->
1. Is it possible to load firefox profile from root directory ?
2. If custom profile folder is created in "/home", then it is launching and working perfectly. How is this possible when the permissions and owner is same as the one in "/customData"

There used to be icons for the few addons I use like AdBlock Utlimate. Now with Firefox 109.0 in OpenMandriva Linux v. 23.90 and 23.01 or with Firefox 109.0.1 tar.bz2 from Mozilla website they are gone. Problem occurs with Ublock Origin and the DeepL Multi-translate addon also. (I use AdBlock Ultimate or Ublock Origin, not both at same time.)
I do not know if this is something in Firefox or something in OpenMandriva Linux but would like to find out soon if possible.
The only work around I have is to use an old profile. My best guess is that profile may be from time of v. 103-104 or there about.

Hi, I'm running Firefox 109 on Win11 on a recent lenovo laptop with touchpad gesture and I can't find the way to disable a 3 fingers tap behavior specific to firefox.
I want 3 fingers tap to only open link in a new tab (mouse middle click) witch is working fine and match win11 touchpad gesture setting.
But in firefox, when I'm not exactly on a link, the 3 fingers tap is giving me a round with 2 vertical narrows and a dot (see screenshot below), and then any touch on the touchpad is scrolling the page, really fast if swiping vertically, or slowly if swiping horizontally.
I can't find any about:config parameter about this behavior. I found a lot of discussion about 3 finger swipe on Mac computer but nothing specific to three finger tap and scroll (Like Here or Here)
If someone has any clue, or just the name of this function that I could look for it, I can't translate it right to find anything. Thanks a lot
