Remember search and form history. This setting always resets to false after the latest two FireFox updates and I need to enable it again.

After logging out and back in the setting is disabled again. I've removed all plugins and extensions I've added and the issue persists.

I've tried Places Database : Verify Integrity but the issue persists on very Restart or loggin. In the past I've even removed FireFox with a 3rd party uninstaller to remove all remnants of FF but, as a very long term user of FF (right from the early Win XP days), this issue pops up from time to time and it's really starting to become extremely annoying.

Apart from Refreshing FF or the total nuke and reinstall option, what else can be done to stop this issue?

Thanks.

So, I have a couple of bookmarks folders with something like 200+ entries, with the folders themselves on my bookmarks toolbar. Previously, when I opened the folder from the toolbar, it would default to the last position observed, e.g. if I selected a bookmark from the middle, it'd open back up to the middle.

It's stopped doing that lately, and instead always opens to the top of the folder. I realize this sounds minor, but it's catastrophic for my use case. Anyone got any tips on how to make it revert to the previous behavior?

Hello, and thank you for reading my post. I hope you'll be able to help me with this, please...

When booting up my PC last night, it wouldn't immediately show an active online connection even though the router had all green lights (as it usually would when I'm able to go online) -- it showed the globe icon in the System Tray instead of that box-like one that resembles a monitor.

In the past, when something like this happened, I thought that I was able to restart the PC and it would then hopefully connect just fine and, when I'd then open my Firefox browser (the latest version), all of my MANY tabs would be there.

This time, however, that didn't work and it took about 45 minutes (and, I admit, several attempts to restart the PC, usually from the Start Menu but once with a hard boot by pressing the power button for several seconds, to try to prod it along) before the computer could indeed go online. Unfortunately, this seems to have "erased" all of the open tabs that I had and I don't know how to get them back (though I hope I can somehow).

Can you please tell me if there's indeed a way to somehow go back more than one (1) session so that I can get those tabs back (maybe they're encoded somehow in my Firefox profile?), and, if so, what that is? (FYI, my research found a suggestion {https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/restore-previous-session/td-p/24278} to edit the browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes setting in about:config so I then went in and increased the number from 1, but I doubt that'd suddenly make earlier sessions accessible...only maybe adding sessions in the future that I could then restore from. Is that right?)

Please let me know your thoughts, and thanks again, Bram Weiser

Was filling out pdf version of 2022 IRS tax forms and discovered leading zero is suppressed in Firefox PDF v109.0.1 64 bit on Windows 10. "Before" image is after typing leading zero but before 'enter' or moving to next field. "After" image is after typing leading zero and after 'enter' or moving to next field. The leading zero disappears.

Saving pdf does not change leading zero suppression.

To see if the pdf document was configured by the IRS to suppress leading zero, I opened the same form in Microsoft Edge v109.0.1518.78 64 bit on Windows 10. It retained the leading zero after typing then 'enter' or moving to next field.

While using MS Edge to complete pdf forms fixes my immediate issues, there still seems to be a defect in Firefox pdf.

And my attempts to get around that screw up the formatting of the document. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Hello,

We're currently working on a demo that enables Stable Diffusion, a deep learning model that generates high-quality images according to text prompts, on web browsers with only client-side GPUs. In our use cases, WebGPU is a perfect fit. You can find our GitHub repository for this project here: https://github.com/mlc-ai/web-stable-diffusion.

However, at the moment, it's only possible to run the demo via Chrome Canary (Chrome's nightly build). We're very interested in getting it to work on Firefox as well, but we're encountering vague error messages in Firefox's nightly build with the `dom.webgpu.enabled` flag turned on.

I would love to ask two questions: 1) How mature is Firefox's WebGPU support on Metal? 2) Is there any pointers we could follow to develop WebGPU demos for Firefox?

Thanks a lot!

I recently moved from a Firefox fork that supports Classic Theme Restorer to one that doesn't. Sigh. It was however a relief to discover that I could make most of the same UI changes myself with a bit of effort. The only major customization remaining is a traditional "page loading" animation in the right corner of the address bar, preferably a swirly or moving dots animation and not the hourglass or ping-pong dots. How is this do-able with current builds? Thanks.

In the past the caret in text entry fields used to blink/pulsate/flash forever in both Firefox and Thunderbird. (Text entry boxes, such as the browser URL-bar, the e-mail To/Subject/Content textboxes, online forms, etc.). Now in the latest versions of Mozilla Firefox 110.0.1 and Thunderbird 102.8.0 the caret stops blinking after just a few seconds. This is very confusing and frustrating for my grandmother and she already called me several times because Firefox and Thunderbird 'stopped working'. I explained to her that this is a new feature but she does not understand and keeps forgetting it after a few days. She is used to the cared blinking continuously, it has been blinking for the past decades whenever she wanted to type something in the computer and it only stopped blinking when the computer program froze or crashed.

I am sure that my grandma is not the only person having issues with the caret not flashing, I for one also would like to have a caret that blinks forever, so when I look away from the screen and look back I do not have to search the text to find where I left my caret.

Please make it so that the default caret appearance and behavior is the same as in all other programs (i.e. blinking forever), as it used to be in the past, just like what everyone is used to. I argue that the majority of users is used to and also expects a blinking caret when they are writing an e-mail or search online and you are confusing a whole lot of people with this minor change, people who do not know how to report bugs or seek help themselves. It's a sign of poor user-friendliness if grandmas need to call their grandchildren or children for help just to write e-mails which they used to be able to do on their own for many years in the past.

I hereby suggest adding an accessibility option for people who wish to disable the blinking cursor and to change the default behavior back to 'caret flashing forever'.
