Firefox Community Forum

Hello,

I deleted my menu bar. The menu bar was on the very top of my screen and the first column was Filer. How do I get it back?

Thank you, Victor Orr

Firefox Containers > Manage Containers > Remove [container]; message (modal, I think it's called?) pops up to say I have a tab open and do I want to proceed? I to up to the container icon upper-right, search for [container], click to open that page, then CTRL+W to close it. Then I try to Remove [container] again; fails. That container is still in the list, and still popping up a note that a tab is open in that container (no, I closed it).

I really like the Containers feature, AND it could use some improvement.

Unrelated, I'm open to help with proofreading; feel free to ask, or point me to a git where I could contribute. I'm not happy about the apparent erosion of privacy in Firefox, but it sure beats Google, Microsoft, Apple, etc.

Yesterday evening I accidentally clicked on a setting that asked me to stop or deny something and I don't remember what it was. Today my bookmarks and history prior to yesterday evening is gone. Is there a way in the system to go back to yesterday evening and undo whatever I clicked and restore the missing history and bookmarks? I work on MacOS and am using the current version of Firefox 137.0.2 (64-bit)

I downloaded Firefox onto my new Windows 11 computer, but the "Firefox View" tab is not there, and there is no option in the "Customize Toolbar" to drag it onto the menu. How do I get the "Firefox View" tab to show on my browser to the left of where the different open webpage tabs are located?

I find myself frequently, and accidentally, opening links in new windows. I can literally think of no circumstance where I would ever want to open a link in a new window. After I do so, accidentally, I have to waste time closing that window and then opening the link in a new tab. Is it possible to, and if so how can I, remove the "Open in a new window" option from the right-click menu? TIA.

I have bookmarks for the application Obsidian, which uses the obsidian:// protocol, registered in Windows. I type the bookmark keyword, it opens the protocol, and asks to confirm whether I not want to open it.

While I wish I could get rid of the entire dialog, I understand that's a security risk, and I understand that the manual delay is ALSO a security detail (to prevent errant or intentional mis-clicks by malicious websites), I want to disable it.

I'm aware there's a lot of hidden configuration options, but I can't even find the name of what this dialog is called. Every search I have for it yields unrelated results. "Open with" is the only idea I have now, so maybe I should start searching for what the integration or protocol is called within Windows. Maybe that'll put me on the right track.

So, can I disable OR 'configure the confirmation dialog, either altogether OR the delay?

I have tried to make Firefox my default browser on my Dell laptop dozens of times and it keeps switching back to other browsers. How can I set if so it does not keep changing my default browser from of being Firefox? I have set is as Firefox default and it keeps changing it from Firefox. Many thanks, Alan
