Create custom DNS providers list to "DNS over HTTPS" "Choose provider" menu (Settings > Privacy & Security - DNS over HTTPS) This can be applied to any Mozilla based browser.

1. Write about:config in url-bar and press [Enter].

2. In the "Search preference name" box Find the "doh-rollout.provider-list" value.

2.a. Create it if not exist by choosing: "String" value and press "+" (add). 2.b. On the right side of the value, Write the '*one string code'. - (if a code already exist, select all code [Ctrl+A] & copy [Ctrl+C] and paste [Ctrl+V] in a notepad and Save it so to keep backup with the previous setting.)

The '*one string code': [ { "UIName": "Cloudflare: Mozilla uri: (https://mozilla.cloudflare-dns.com/dns-query)",

You can modify the code based on your preferences to change the "Choose provider" menu list.

Hi everyone, I am using a MacBook Air M3 with 8GB of RAM. Due to my workflow, I heavily utilize multiple windows simultaneously across both Brave and Firefox. Unfortunately, this heavy usage has caused my CPU and RAM demand to go through the roof.After doing some research, I was advised to switch back to Safari as my default browser to conserve system resources, and to use other browsers only as secondary tools.

To make this transition work, I need to prevent Firefox from automatically launching every time I start up my laptop. I do not want Firefox to open until I explicitly choose to launch it myself. I have searched through every conceivable setting, option menu, and help file, but I cannot find a solution to this basic issue. If I cannot find a way to stop this auto-start behavior, I will be forced to uninstall Firefox altogether, which I would prefer to avoid.How can I definitively stop Firefox from opening automatically on system boot?

Thank you for your help.

My tabs from a Windows 10 PC were imported to Firefox running on my Mac Studio ( OS is Tahoe ver 26.2). How do I easily recover these tabs and prevent this behavior in the future? Note: I have copied previous versions of the Firefox profiles files to my active profiles folder, but this does not bring back the lost tabs.

On two different Windows machines, current Firefox (153.0.1), the alt-d shortcut stops working: it does nothing until I restart Firefox. Then it works again for a while. I've tried about:keyboard and it's not reset there. I tried all combinations: Clear, Reset, setting it to alt-d explicitly. None of those worked. But when I set it to alt-a, that worked--but then resetting back to alt-d again didn't work. That shortcut is muscle memory at this point, so it's quite distressing. Not sure what diagnostics might be available to help here, happy to try anything.

Full disclosure: Both machines are Windows 10 but since that's stable, I find it hard to believe that's related.

firefox on windows 11, keeps blocking my camera and Microphone despite express permissions to allow, i look in permissions and the site is clearly marked to allow camera, but when i goto sitye, no camera or mic is allowed until i delete the permission that is supposed to allow it.

I have counselling at https://survivorswestyorkshire.whereby.com/chrissy

I allow my camera and mic.

I return to the site and it tells me camera and microphone blocked.

I goto0 settings>Permissions>Camera

It clearly states that the website is allowed to use the devices, but when on the website the devbices are blocked. Whats messed up is, if i delete your settings>Permissions>Camera, it allows me to use my camera and mic, until i refresh the webpage and its blocked again.

This makes zero sense and is every reason for me not to use Mozille Firefox as a browser at all.

A couple of weeks ago all of my bookmarks disappeared from my profile. The toolbar is empty and when I click manage bookmarks, the entire interface is blank. When I attempt to do the restoration method suggested in the firefox guide, nothing happens when I click the restore button from the drop down. I tried logging out and logging back in, but that didnt help unfortunately. Any suggestions or help is greatly appreciated.

when i use Chrome or edge to access yahoo email I can write & edit. when using Firefox browser; I cannot write & edit/highlight/change text colours etc before sending. tried deleteing & re-installing Firefox . please help. Driving me crazy rsvp

Recently I had to install a new windows, and I signed in to my Firefox account and found all the data from the previous windows including the open tabs, I could find them from "Tabs from other devices".

But now can't find them any more, although that device name is still there in my account page, under " connected services", please advise.

I run normal firefox on linux. Fully up-to-date. Every time I quit the app, it reverts to a version of my profile from a month ago, and loads all the tabs I had open then, and then receives all the tabs that I sent to the device in the interim (~1 month). As I speak, it just caught the 60 or 70 tabs in this window.

I tried changing the name of my profile folder to randomstring.defaultOLD and changed one of the backups to randomstring.default. This didn't change the behavior. I'm still stuck in the loop. I saved my tabs with onetab, because firefox isn't remembering my session anymore. I thought it was something to do with updates, like it only loses its mind upon updates, but that's not true. It thinks it's updating firefox EVERY TIME, because the one time it's loading to 1 month ago it was updating, but I'm 100% sure there are no updates to firefox in my linux. It's just hallucinating.

The articles on restoring from backup are outdated. They say to use an html file. There is no html file. It's just folders for profiles, not html files. HELP!

I have webpage (Home Assistant instance) on my local network on which I would like to use microphone (for Assistant functionality). Page is completely local, i.e. not visible from Internet. My issue is I can't force Firefox to allow microphone access on this page. I've tried messing with media.devices.insecure.enabled config, but it didn't help. Is there any way to add such page to some whitelist to allow microphone access? From what I gathered Chromium-based browser provides "--unsafely-treat-insecure-origin-as-secure=..." option but I didn't find anything similar for Firefox. I know I could expose my server to outside network and get SSL certificate (from Lets Encrypt) to make it work, but exposing server to Internet just to get local microphone access somehow doesn't feel like a more secure solution. I could probably also issue self-singed certificate but dealing with that also seems at least annoying.

after the new version of firefox update my home page which i have always had Newsmax.com does not load says problem loading page i have tried several times and it will not load. it works in Google chrome so why not in Firefox

After the most recent Firefox update all my bookmarks were scrambled. For example, when I open one marked Bank of America, I get Go Daddy. How do I restore my bookmarks to what they were before the update?

Previously all my tabs would launch when I opened Firefox. Recently it has stopped doing so. Only one tab opens. All the other tabs I use frequently do not open. Why is this? How do I have all my tabs open when I open Firefox

when i go to my website on firefox it says "Secure Connection Failed" but it loads fine on safari. i've never seen it do this before. Is this a firefox issue?

full error message: Secure Connection Failed

The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified. What can you do about it?

The issue is most likely with the website, and there is nothing you can do to resolve it. You can notify the website’s administrator about the problem.

Error Code: PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR

how do i fix this?

This is not a huge issue but it is irksome. Why do the all the bookmarks in the toolbar justify left? Also, there are no UI options in the settings to change the justification. Most browsers center all the bookmarks in the toolbars. Surely this wouldn't be too hard to change, would it?
