Hello,
What is the CSS Code to force the "about:preferences" menu to open in a separate window?
This used to be possible using the "classic theme restorer" extension but it's since been depricated with version 57+.
Thanks in advance.

windows 10/FF 68.0+ a few add-ons
Hello all
i wanted to use FF as my default PDF viewer and since i wasn't able to do so in the Windows settings, i right clicked on a file and chose my default program.
-first issue; all my pdf files took the FF icon instead of the default PDF one. only solutions I've found was changing things in the registry which i wont do and the other one(not sure if it works)was to reinstall FF which i prefer not to do since everything is nicely set up.
-second issue; in FF options i chose "always ask"in case i accidentally open a PDF file when clicking on a link in google search,not noticing it's a PDF document. the issue is that when i chose 'open' from the pop-up window,it opened a blank page,not the actual PDF i (haven't checked what happens with 'save'.) so i reverted to 'preview in Firefox'.(also i don't recall this happening with previous windows os;7-8.1)
-third issue(the worst one which caused a moment of panic :); choosing 'firefox to automatically open a file type' cause the opening of infinite blank tabs one after the other. it seems to be a very old bug and I'm surprised it hasn't been fixed yet, the solution is not to chose this option. can be viewed here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-repeatedly-opens-empty-tabs-or-windows http://kb.mozillazine.org/File_types_and_download_actions#Setting_an_automatic_action
so for the moment being I've reverted to Edge as the default PDF viewer.
the main issue for me out of all these three, is to get those icons to show the correct description and not the FF one.
Thanks.

I had to uninstall and reinstall firefox on my computer, because for some reason it wasn't online, while every other app was. After I tried everything else, i uninstalled and reinstalled again and after a restart of the computer it was all good. except my passwords and bookmarks are still in my filesystem, but don't show up. I have tried importing it back, but the preferences don't have an import option and i didn't find any plugins either for it. Copypasting to the new account "somethingsomething.default" folder, the json file with key3.db didn't make a difference either.
any tips on how to solve this problem? i am honestly lost
Since WebExtensions is a seperate process from Firefox, how can we relaunch WebExtensions process alone?

I would like to relaunch WebExtensions process to see, if WebExtensions process is responsible for reloading-re-reading the extensions from the firefox extensions folder. (/lib/firefox/browser/extensions)
What is the correct way to do that?

CCleaner piggy-backed a browser on to the system uninvited which annoys me intensely Since then links on emails or in a video in a magazine may or may not work asking what do I need to open this or not able to open because of privacy? Before it has always been automatic. Also I am now unable to open a private window. My system setting for Firefox seem to out of order somehow which could well be me trying to get it to work properly! I am confident you will tell me to stop fiddling and do this or that
I would like Firefox to work like Chrome did in the regard of new windows being one blank tab instead of all of my home pages.

How do I set up Firefox to work like this: First window that is opened is a set of home pages. Any new window (ctrl+N - window, not tab) that is opened when Firefox is already open opens as a blank page.
This is achievable completely natively through Chrome's options. I'm not sure why I wouldn't have the same choice in Firefox, but it is frustrating because one of my home pages is a page that will log me out of any other instances of it.
Thanks in advance!

I have just reinstalled Ubuntu 16.04 and FF 60.8.0esr, just found out that FF does not open URL link in email in a tab, instead opens up a new browser! In my previous install, this version of FF was working fine, but there's a difference, I had installed a newer version of FF in my previous install, but on this one, I removed the FF that came with Ubuntu and installed 60.8.0esr (reason for using this specific version is newer ones some sites that I need to visit quite often does not work). How can I fix or troubleshoot this problem? ps: dual boot Windows 8.1 + Ubuntu 16.04.

Like it has focus, because when i click tab it highlight the next element with proper border very well, but the first element when focused is not having any blue or a ny color border to show user that the element is in focus??

I switched to Firefox a couple of years ago when Quantum came out. I'm satisfied with it but the main reason I keep using it is grounded on ethics rather than usability (which is fine for me but won't win the stone hearts of more cynical users :-) ). I had this sort of superficial opinion: "Chrome is better, but I don't want to use it." Today I wanted to give Chromium another try. I thought about what it is that makes it better and figured out it almost completely boils down to the star icon functionality: I'm a heavy bookmarks user and Firefox makes me slow, compared to Chrome.
First, it doesn't use the latest location in which I saved a bookmark as a default (this was also requested, not by me, on http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=23&p=14770920). I often add a row of pages to a single bookmarks folder, but rather than selecting the tabs and adding all of them at once by dragging and dropping as Firefox allows, I prefer to check them on by one: add one, close it, take a look at the one that follows, either close it right away or add it, and so on. In Chrome it's done with a couple of shortcuts in quick succession, in Firefox its much clunkier because one needs to set the directory every time.
Then a really annoying and sort of antiquated-feeling characteristic of Firefox's star icon menu and bookmarks sidebar is that type-ahead motion in it (when I type the first letters of the name I want to move to) breaks on spaces. This kind of motion is the only one that is practical once one has a few hundred directories, but if I have a list of directories like ... "The Rolling Stones", "The Who"... I can only match up to "The" then I'm on my own.
These flaws slow down the menial job of adding bookmarks a lot. Other things that could bring an improvement in my opinion would be an "Open in folder" context menu item for bookmarks search results, and the possibility to restrict searches to defined folders. I think what I've described should be done natively and not by extensions.
Keep up the good work and thanks for what you do.

Firefox is now displaying this error message with every site that IN FACT they have https connections.
Two things happened since last night.
1. I received a Firefox update last night. 2. I clicked on a link to a bogus news article that Malwarebytes stopped, yet Firefox was affected in that a false Microsoft tab opened and required task manager to kill the Firefox session.
Virus scans were clean.
But something was set in Firefox to automatically open to that tab, which, of course required Task Manager to terminate. Uninstalls, re-installs, blah, blah, blah I was able to stop Firefox from automatically opening to the offending web page.
However, I can not go to any web pages without getting the error warning :Did Not Connect: Potential Security Issue"
Any ideas? Is this a regedit thing? Would there be some entries under Firefox to delete? Is there a list of good things and therefore anything else would be worthy of deletion?
BTW, it is the latest version of Win10 Firefox as of 7/12/2019 and 7/13/2019.
Thoughts pertinent comments appreciated.

I have tried all the fixes suggested in Mr Google with no success. My version is for mac 68.0 Quantum. The site was declared a hacked site and has now been fixed however Firefox refuses to me to remove the blocked site from its list.(the blocked list does not exist in my version of firefox). Also safari is also having trouble. Opera is fine.

After the last update, almost all of the icons for my search engines in the search bar are missing. I have to remember which blank box Amazon was in so I can click on that box to get to Amazon. The IMDb icon for some reason is still in its box. How do I get the icons back so I don't have to guess every time I need to find something? I've rebooted, removed and replaced the search box, but nothing works.
