When browsing a website that uses persistent storage, Firefox pops up a prompt from the URL bar that says "Allow <site> to store data in persistent storage?"

How can I disable the prompt so it never pops up to ask me and automatically blocks everything?

I looked in settings and didn't find anything and didn't see anything in about:config that obviously controls this behaviour either.

I found a screenshot online of the prompt I'm talking about.

Thanks.

Hi,

Just hoping someone can help me figure out what else to try. I've only been using firefox a month or two recently, I'd been on Chrome for a while and now I'm a refugee. Anyway. Trying to figure out how to make my theme persist between sessions.

Each time I reload it's back to default. I'm able to disable and re-enable it in settings, and it applies just fine, but then is lost every time a new session starts. Not sure why this isn't toggling a flag to hold persistently. Any help is appreciated. J

How come i dont see my recent history in each new tab i open ???

I mean all the site i just visited already listed and showed on each new tab you open, this is so obvious i still dont understand how come it is not an automatic setting.

Can someone tell me how i can set this on firefox please.

Hello all. I need help, & am so stuck. I'm sorry in advance, I'll type this as best as I can. My issues involve scanning, among others. First, I need help with trying to enable something called Webscan, which is apparently enabled through something called EWS. I have a new printer & a new phone. My printer is an HP deskjet 2734e, my phone is a Samsung S24. I suspect I will have to do this on my 2 existing devices, too. Those are a Galaxy Tab 7 and an HP windows 11 laptop. Second, my printer has had an orange light with {!} turned on since day 1. This printer does not have a screen. {stupid, I know.} I then have a scan error that vaguely pops up here and there, plus an error in the HP Smart app. I think these are all connected. I haven't ever been able to send print jobs from any devices other than my laptop, until now, so I don't have any experience here. I can print but not scan. Printing involves the HP plugin, can't use the HP smart app for this. The articles that I have read online contain steps that do not work. {put your ip address in your browser, security, admin, etc.} Does anyone know how to fix this, please? I'm going to post this on HP's site, too, and see. I have tried everything. Thank you in advance.

Afrer making a fresh installation of Thunderbird all newly coming messages are visible only under "All" ["Wszystkie/PL] folder and not "Inbox" anymore. I tried to review existing filter, visibility settings and folder settings however can't see anything what it could be the cause of this issue. I would expect as before re-installing Thunderbid that all newly messages lands by default under "Inbox" folder and only those for wich I have configured filter rules are moved into specific folders that previously created.

Thank You.

Hi everyone! 👋

I hope you’re all enjoying browsing with Firefox. I’ve been using it for a while now, and it’s incredible how many cool features and settings are available to make browsing safer, faster, and more enjoyable. I thought it would be great to share our favorite tips and tricks with each other!

Here are a few of my favorites to kick things off:

Boost Privacy with Enhanced Tracking Protection 🔒 Did you know Firefox has a built-in feature to protect your privacy? Under "Privacy & Security" in the settings, you can turn on Enhanced Tracking Protection, which blocks third-party trackers and unwanted cookies. It’s a quick setting that gives extra peace of mind!

Organize Tabs with Simple Shortcuts 📑 I’m always juggling multiple tabs, so using keyboard shortcuts has been a lifesaver! Try pressing Ctrl + Shift + E (or Cmd + Shift + E on a Mac) to get a quick overview of all open tabs. You can then jump between them effortlessly.

Get Faster Browsing with Pocket Integration 🧳 Ever see a cool article but don’t have time to read it? Just save it to Pocket, which is integrated with Firefox! It’s perfect for building a collection of things to read later, even offline.

What are your go-to Firefox hacks? I’d love to learn how others are using Firefox to make their browsing even better. Whether it's an add-on you love, a keyboard shortcut, or a cool setting, please share below!

Happy browsing,

I take a lot of screenshots using Firefox's built in screenshot tool to share with my friends. After a while it slows down my Photos folder and I move them elsewhere. However, I cannot move, delete, or even rename any of the 18 photos shown in the photo below. They are all from Twitter/X, but this error does not apply to every screenshot from Twitter - I was able to move or delete most of them. However, it is ONLY happening with photos from Twitter. They are not Read Only so I don't know what the issue is. I'm not having this issue with Windows Snip tool, only Firefox Screenshots.

Hi,

I have the following problem: when I open a downloaded firefox pdf file, a banner partly covers the text. I do not know how to remove the banner. See attached printscreen.

I hope you can help me!

Thunderbird (Version 128.4.2esr) is not emptying the trash folder upon exiting the program, and I seem unable to find the setting to enable the function to automatically empty the folder.

When downloading a file, if the filename has no extension, Firefox adds ".html" to the filename. I want it to leave the filename as-is, with no extension. It will leave the name intact if I surround it with quotation marks, but it didn't previously require this.

Firefox Settings relates to Firefox extensions, which is not this issue. And the list of Applications does not include names that don't have an extension.

Example of situation: An SSL Certificate site needs to confirm my ownership of a domain. I download a file from the issuing site. The file's name has no extension. Firefox adds ".html", which causes the file to be not found after uploading.

Firefox did not have this misbehavior before the most recent update.

I seem to have lost my pinned Bookmarks sidebar. I know I can use the CTRL+B key combo to get the bookmarks sidebar to show but I had it set-up such that I could close Firefox and later reopen it and the bookmark sidebar will still show upon reopening Firefox. Now, each time I open Firefox, I have to hit CTRL+B again for the Bookmarks sidebar to appear again. I can't seem to find the setting to keep the bookmarks sidebar to always show. Any ideas?

I originally posted a version of a question I'd already posted. Since I could not figure out how to delete my own question, I changed the subject and the question, to whether it is possible to delete questions.

I apologize for this, I should have made a record of the issue to start with.

thank you for your help!

Question: What setting will allow mimimalized Firefox windows to visibly appear on my Macbook dock?

I have spent hours trying to figure out why all of my minimalized windows (with multiple tabs) seem to disappear into my Firefox icon instead of being visible on my Mac dock as they have for decades.

Running the latest Sequoia 15.1 and latest Firefox 132.02, in the last couple weeks, when I click the yellow "minimalize" button on the top left of my Firefox window, they disappear and are inaccessible. If I press Control + Tab, I can see the windows, but can not access them. I've tried endless attempts to correct this in my Mac system settings and in Firefox settings with no luck! Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

I am using Thunderbird for my Google Workspace Business Standard (GWBS) account because certain things, like navigation, searching, mail merge, and others are much nicer with TB than with the Gmail browser interface. I created the account in TB in the usual way, with no special tweaking of the settings. I routinely need to send messages to the 167 members of our program. The problem is that when I try to do so using TB, I get the error in the first attached image. The actual recipient limit for my GWBS account is 2000 per message, and there is no problem sending messages to 167 recipients using the Gmail web interface.

I chatted with GW support about this and was told by the agent that "you have added 167 recipients in a single email, by using a third party IMAP server you can only 100 recipient's. You can refer to this article https://support.google.com/a/answer/166852?product_name=UnuFlow&hl=en&visit_id=638669600328475265-236899981&rd=1&src=supportwidget0&hl=en". Here's a shortened version of that link: https://bit.ly/3UPAYWJ. I believe the part of that page the agent is referring to is in the second attached image, specifically the first one.

However, the server settings for this account in TB are the ones in the third image, which doesn't seem to me to be a third party IMAP server. Has anyone else come up with a solution for this problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
