I have changed my settings in Firefox to have Firefox the default when computer opens but it still opens with MSN which I don't want. Every time I go into settings even after re-boot it still shows to start with MSN . I change it again and same thing over and over.

thanks for any help and I have a feeling I have to delete firefox and re-install but worried all my links and bookmarks ect will go away.

Hi, on my husband's laptop (but not mine!) when he does a Google search in Firefox, he sees the search text (e.g., "funny cat videos") in the address bar, not the URL for the Google search. He used to be able to copy the search URL to share it with people, but isn't able to do that anymore (except from the History section, which is a bit of a pain.)

I searched the Internet for solutions and someone suggested "Show search terms instead of URL on default search engine results page" in Settings, but I can't find that setting anywhere! Any pointers about either finding that setting or another way to get back to what he had before?

The attached image shows what he WANTS to see, instead of the search text. This works fine for me!

Thanks!

This only happens when i switch back to FF desktop on win11. FF desktop on win 11 FF running and is not in focus when i hit Windows + 2 (2 is my setting for FF on the task bar), FF comes to the foreground in focus BUT IT ALSO SWITCHES TO TAB1. I cant get it to stay on the tab i was on last. I don't see the setting for that. Again this only happens with i use the WIN + taskbar digit that represents FF. Nic

Tengo 2 perfiles para cuentas de correo distintas. He configurado Firefox para que al reiniciar se abran las últimas pestañas abiertas, sin embargo esto no funciona al abrir cada perfil. Alguna solución ?

Hi! I'm developing a web extension. I managed to install it via about:debugging "temporary extensions", and I can see the extension icon under the "puzzle button" in the toolbar.

I now want to pin it to the toolbar, it will save me a click when I'm trying to test things live.

When I click the puzzle button, there is no "pin to toolbar" option for the temporary extension, although I can see it for the extensions installed from the marketplace.

Is there a way to allow pinning for the extensions installed for debugging? Maybe an option in "about:config"?

Thank you!

How do I disable the automatic reordering of typed tags in my bookmarks? Fore example if I add tags "programming, javascript" its automatic change to "javascript, programming". I want to decide the order of the tags myself.

How to merge two different sets of Firefox bookmarks simultaneously popping-up 2 different Firefox web-pages into a single Firefox browser system? Please help and advise. Many thanks.

Starting with version 126.0.0, firefox for MacOS stopped creating a defaults/pref folder during installation. If you create it yourself and add the autoconfig.js there, and add firefox.cfg to the root, firefox reads them perfectly and applies the settings. However, if you create folders before the first launch of the browser after installation, the file integrity check fails (see screenshot).

I couldn't find any information about why the folders stopped being created. Maybe someone knows?

The newest article regarding the configuration seems to be this one:

I need to use one website that has an out of date certificate. I found out about adding the hostname to security.tls.insecure_fallback_hosts in about:config.

However, Firefox keeps clearing that setting when I'm not looking, sometimes in the same session! How can I make it persist?

Not long ago all my search queries starting showing up in French instead of my default language English.

Every time I click Change to English I get taken to Google's Search Settings with NO indication where to make English the Default language. When I click Parametre de langue I am taken to the Google Search Settings - Language and region. Here I change Language of display to English...., but when I close the window and start up again it jumps right back to French.

It's driving me nuts!

Hope someone can assist me :-)

I use multiple dialing apps in my business. When I choose a specific app, it opens in the same window as my source data for the call. I have recently began using a new computer. In my previous computer the dialing app I chose opened in a new tab. Please help.

Favicons seem to be a problem for Firefox, at least on Linux Operating Systems. On multiple distros favicons simply don't show, while they may on Windows. Not trying to dig, but shouldn't this be a pretty basic feature that's expected for a browser no matter what OS is used? Even searching at the forums here for favicons reveals 222 potential threads - one would think that the sheer volume of reports issued for them not functioning correctly would prompt a unified remediation effort. Don't get me wrong, I love Firefox - have used it for decades now across a multitude of OS's - and favicons always used to display properly. Googling this issue will reveal several recommendations of 3rd party addons and tweaks. Can we make favicons just work (again?)

Hello, I can't restore my Firefox bookmarks, I made the mistake to update my Firefox blindly, as always, but it ruined-erased all my bookmarks, where did my hard work ended?, if I ever fix my bookmarks I will never do another update. I'm 77 and not able to follow your instructions; I wished I could restore all my bookmarks, now I wish I knew how to get some back, even if I have to do it one by one! Why there is no chat tool? maybe that way you could guide me better? Have a heart, please?

so i updated firefox after 2 years of not updating it and now i have a annoyance to my eyes

before my update i would click on the search on the toolbar and either type out my search and hit enter or that i would just hit enter and go straight to google/ amazon/ blah blah what ever i had it set at the time.

after updating firefox i now have a annoying pop up that pulls up recent search in said search function of the toolbar. i have tried going into the options and every thing is turned off in the "search suggestions". i have looked into the about:config because after the update firefox started suggesting on my URL bar my recent viewed pages and bookmarks which always hated that function and had to turn it off again.

yet i cannot find a away to turn off the recent search. and sometimes it even tried to suggest places / recent events in the search toolbar.

also that clicking the search toolbar and just hitting enter no longer takes me directly to the search engine... it just does nothing now unless if i type something in.

any way of fixing this? or am i just going to have to jury rig using a old firefox again?

I would like to disable some built in hotkeys: for switching to the previous and next tabs (Ctrl+PgUp and Ctrl+PgDn), I want to rebind them to F6 and F7; for closing the current tab (Ctrl+W), I want to rebind it to F4; for duplicating the current tab (Ctrl+Shift+T), I want to rebind it to F8.

I've learned that you can do this by using autoconfig from here , but I don't know how to specifically setup the autoconfig file to find the right keyconfigs. Does anybody have a solution for this?
