Confused. I've never used it, but Is this list meant to convey that I've used it five times, in relation somehow to Reddit and Youtube?

Are those address automatically created upon addon installation? Are they still available for use, or Is that just their way of informing me that if I want to use Relay going forward I'll have to pay?

Hi,

I've been designing an invitation using canva on the fedex website. It looked good, but when I went back this week to the same site, I got an error:

"Firefox Can’t Open This Page

To protect your security, www.canva.com will not allow Firefox to display the page if another site has embedded it. To see this page, you need to open it in a new window."

Of course, I can't open it in a new window. I don't seem to be able to use this site at all now. This error wasn't there before.

Is anyone else able to open canva via fedex's website? Is there something I can do to disable this security feature temporarily? https://www.office.fedex.com/default/canva is the link.

Inline JavaScript to hide bookmarks sidebar upon opening new browser instance

Does anybody know which options to use on the command-line start of Firefox such that the only thing displayed is the area within which an HTML page would be presented?

I want to have it start with everything else turned off or hidden, namely

   memu bar
   page tabs bar
   address bar along all add-on buttons
   bookmarks sidebar

The "-kiosk" option is not appropriate for my needs.

-kiosk doesn't hide the sidebar (Bookmarks or not) if that sidebar was visible during last session before exit ... so ... no, "-kiosk" is not a proper implementation of a "page-only" display mode.

"-private-window" gives no benefit, display-wise, over and above what the "-new-window" option provides.

Everything I've read (even on the Mozilla support site) seems to point to creating a special profile for just that mode, and then to modify the "userChrome.css" file with custom properties to ensure the desired "off" setting for the GUI elements. That seems a rather "small-minded" view, ignoring the potential for huge market of self-contained hard-coded applications that would need only use the Firefox rendering engine, and nothing else!

One comment on Reddit indicated that the functionality was there ("-app" option working with XULrunner), but discontinued!


As a test, I did close all my browsers, leaving the bookmark sidebar visible before closing. I then entered:

firefox -kiosk -safe-mode -private-window ${URL}

I still get the bookmark-sidebar visible, with everything else "hidden" or "disabled", because visible sidebar is my default mode for normal browsing.

Is there no command-line startup switch to force that sidebar to "hide", equivalent to clicking on the "X" on the top-right corner?

OR ...

Is there any programmatic way to tell that to hide using JavaScript in the HTML page that is loaded? Everything I seem to locate refer to in-page Elements only, not Browser Elements. :frowning:

But "kiosk"(fullscreen-mode) is not the mode I want, because I want users to be able to have the simplified browser-based HTML App co-exist on the desktop with other windows, like a normal App.



    • Basic HTML test page** *(myHtmlGame.html)* **:**

``` <meta charset="UTF-8"> <title>myHtmlGame.html</title> <link href="myHtmlGame_bookmarks.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"> <script src="myHtmlGame_bookmarks.js" type="text/javascript"> </script>

Box A
Box B
Box C
Box D
Box E
<script> {what to I place here } </script> ```



    • Basic Javascript file** (*myHtmlGame_bookmarks.js*) **:**

```

// REF: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1690002/how-can-i-prevent-firefox-showing-my-extensions-sidebar-on-startup var current = this;

var quitObserver = {

  QueryInterface: function(aIID) {
     if (aIID.equals(Components.interfaces.nsIObserver) || aIID.equals(Components.interfaces.nsISupports)) {
        return this;
     }
     throw Components.results.NS_NOINTERFACE;
  },
  observe: function(aSubject,aTopic,aData ) {
     var mainWindow = current._windowMediator.getMostRecentWindow("navigator:browser");
     var sidebar  = mainWindow.document.getElementById("sidebar");
     if (sidebar.contentWindow.location.href == "chrome://daisy/content/sidebar.xul") {
        mainWindow.toggleSidebar('openDaisySidebar', false);
     }
  }

};

setTimeout(function() {

  var mainWindow = current._windowMediator.getMostRecentWindow("navigator:browser");
  var observerService = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/observer-service;1"].getService(Components.interfaces.nsIObserverService);
  observerService.addObserver(quitObserver,"quit-application-granted",false);

},2000); ```


I've tried using this alternative content for the JavaScript file, but that also failed (using '*hideSidebarBookmarks()*' call in the in-line script segment):

``` function hideSidebarBookmarks() { const sidebar = document.getElementById("CustomizableUI.AREA_BOOKMARKS") ; sidebar.hide() ; } ```

I even tried replacing the word "document" with "browser" in the above, still with no success. :-(

Firefox no longer allows me to bookmark web sites that I want for place in my bookmark folders. I have encountered several situation when trying to bookmark a web site:

1- When I get to a site that I want to bookmark, I go to "Bookmarks", select and click on "Bookmark Current Tab" and nothing happens. On prior versions of Firefox, another panel would be presented where I would have the option to file the current tab to an existing Firefox folder or create an new folder.

Now I do not have that option available to me. These problems seems to to have started with the upgrade to 134.0.2

2- When I go to "Bookmarks" and select "Manage Bookmarks" I am able to see a listing of of the bookmarks but the list is not complete. I have preciously established and used the bookmark labeled as "Woodworking" which is no longer present, in fact the the last alphabetical listed bookmark is "Ryobi".

I did have and was able to use the bookmark "Woodworking" in the past. Why is everything beyond "Ryobi missing?

3 - Some times when I go to use bookmarks it does show provide me with the panel that would allow me to bookmark the current tab but it will not allow me to create a new folder where I want to place the current tab..

4 -I have tried to go to an older version of Firefox but have been unable to locate where I can obtain it. Would going back to an older version resolve my issues and if so where can I get an older version?

I have been using Firefox for many years and never had issues and have been very happy with it. Anything guidance you can provide to resolve these bookmark issues would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Victor
