Ondersteuningsforum voor Firefox

Hello,

I have Firefox with two profiles, Personal and Work. I also have a VPN provided by the company which is setup on Windows 10 as a Public Network, on both profiles the network settings are the same and while the Personal has anti ads and privacy plugins, the Work doesn't have a single plugin.

My issue is that the Personal profile is able to use the VPN and access the work network while the Work profile is not. With both network settings matching, are there any settings in the About:config that i can check that would co-relate with the issue that i'm having?

In the latest version of Firefox Developer Edition, I notice the the urlbar behaviour has changed from what it was before and I want to change it back. Are there any settings in about:config that do this? In particular, I want to stop expanding and even showing suggestions whenever I click in the address bar. To me, this is odd and distracting behaviour and not what is done by other browsers so I want to turn it off.

My go-to apps for this, Imagus and Photoshow no longer work on Google. Any suggestions for alternatives, etc., or do we just have to see if they figure it out?

Hello,

I am using Firefox Developer Edition and I recently saw in the "update info" setting that my browser is installing beta updates. I never wanted to enroll in beta program. Is Firefox Dev Edition by default enrolled in beta ? How can I unroll from it ?

(sorry for my English) Thanks,

A recent Firefox update changed what the Tab key does while typing in the omnibar. It used to cycle between suggestions, now it changes focus to the next element in the toolbar. Is there a way for me to revert this behavior?

I'm on Arch Linux and recently updated Firefox to version 73.0 through pacman. I got no errors and Firefox works fine. Except that Widevine crashes whenever I visit Netflix or Amazon. I tried removing the plugin and reinstalling it, reinstalling Firefox and starting Firefox in safe mode. If anyone knows a solution to my problem your help would be much appreciated!

I’m clicking on a link that links to a markdown file ending in the extension .md. As I know that this is just a plain text file, I would like to open it in a new tab as plain text. However, Firefox opens a download prompt. How can I teach Firefox to display the file as text?

In the new megabar on Firefox 74beta, the top visited sites are 8, but the parameter browser.urlbar.maxRichResults is on 10. What is the way for increase the number of listed sites?

When opening a link from a different application, like slack, the keyboard shortcuts like new tab and refresh do not do anything, and the left click menu is empty except for the snapshot button.

This only seems to happen if firefox is not already open and the clicking of the link opens firefox.

I have a question regarding PWA support on Firefox desktop. I am not sure how to frame this correctly, but I hope I am able to list the problem statement.

Basically, I plan to migrate my existing mobile and desktop website to single PWA based responsive website. Right now, I have mobile website which is a PWA, and a desktop website. Goal is to have a single PWA based responsive website for both mobile and desktop platform. However, I want to make sure the proposed website will work with Firefox desktop. From what I could find Firefox doesn't support option to install PWA as an app with it's own shortcut as it is possible in Chrome. But I want to make sure it supports rest of the features of PWA, and website still works correctly in terms of UI and experience as in case when it is accessed from Chrome browser.

Appreciate a response on this. In case you require more clarity on the problem statement, do let me know.

• Firefox crashes whenever the Windows file dialog is displayed (e.g. if choosing a save location when downloading files).
• SolidWorks PDM appears to cause this, see information here: https://forum.solidworks.com/thread/220894
• Until two days ago, running Firefox in Windows 7 compatibility mode solved the problem. However running Firefox in Windows 7 compatibility mode now results in blank tabs - similar to as described here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1231445.

So I am caught between a rock and a hard place. I have to switch off compatibility mode for browsing to work. But then Firefox crashes any time I want to download or upload a file.

If anyone has any idea's I'd appreciate it. I really don't want to be forced back onto Chrome...

So I unpinned the shortcut from the task bar and pinned the Firefox start button (from the Start menu) to the task bar. Now Firefox is responsive but my bookmarks are missing. I went to "about:profiles" and saw that there are two profiles now. If I select the original profile I again get the 5 faulty instances of Firebox. I can't figure out how to import my bookmarks into the new profile. Any help?

When I start Firefox it makes upto 15 https:// connections to cloudfront.net and something else. I altered the about:config and did this as shown in another post, but to no avail browser.selfsupport.url. double-click it and change its value to a blank string Here is a sreen grab of the connections I get on start-up, sometimes it takes about 5 mins before I can use the internet. (I have almsot the slowest connection in the UK, at 0.03 MB/sec, 34kbps), so this would only slow down a fast connection for a matter of seconds. I live high in the mountains with no wi-fi and only an old copper phone line to carry my signal.

I often use two Firefox instances side-by-side, splitting the screen in half by dragging each instance to the left and right edges, allowing Windows 10 to anchor them as half-screen windows.

Due to limited screen size, I'd like to be able to select full screen on each window and have them go full screen, but only within the window, not each enlarging to fill the entire display.

The reason for this is that I want to eliminate the tabs and menu bar, and the Windows taskbar from view in order to see more of the browser content. Naturally, the only way I've been able to do this so far is to have a two-monitor setup, full screening Firefox on each one.

I have Profile Manager with 5 profiles in my old computer. When I initially logged-in to Mozilla/sync in both my old and new computers, it synced my (main) profile. How can I sync the other 4 profiles I have as well?

I cannot load https://accounts.firefox.com. I get the "Unable to connect" page. Opening a dev console doesn't show anything odd in logs. I tried following the steps on this page https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-cant-load-websites-other-browsers-can to no avail. It doesn't work under safe mode either. Other browsers on this same machine load the site just fine. Anything else I can test?
