Diễn đàn hỗ trợ Firefox

Hey, thank you for reading this.. I'm really confused to what these are. Every time I click the firefox search bar, other sites that I've been to pop up. Is it just the recent search history..? Sorry if I'm just being silly. I deleted the search history for the discord website but it still pops up when i click on the search bar. I just don't get what that means, and what the grey icon means. If you could explain it to me that would be great

thank you Alec

What did you guys do now? Out of the blue my popup window that should contain a pdf of a bank statement comes up blank. I reset Firefox and it worked for a time and now does not work again. However I can run Waterfox and it works fine. Don't mess with Waterfox!

Why this large black box opposite to volume control when i try to control volumes. this is really annoying. similar issue was with chrome but they had a fix but i cant find any fix here in firefox for it and it is making me change my mind of browswer loyalty that i had for few years with firefox.

My computer shut down after I tried to update Malware Bytes. After the restart, my Firefox home page doesn't pull/show the Top Sites or Highlights (won't even let me manually add). I ran a scan and computer s clean, no viruses and version is up to date. I even tried a refresh of Firefox, but same issue.

Recently, when a popup window appears, the toolbar doesn't have buttons for any of my addons.

In about:config, I'd intentionally set dom.disable_window_open_feature.toolbar to true (following the solution provided in: question 1206512).

Previously, this was successful in ensuring that popup windows got the full toolbar, but now it has stopped working.

I'm not sure exactly which release this started with.

Steps to reproduce:

1) Set dom.disable_window_open_feature.toolbar to true.

2) Visit https://jeffersonscher.com/res/popit.html and follow the third link.

3) The window that pops up has no toolbar icons for the installed extensions.

I've been using New Tab Override for quite some time to ensure that when I open a new tab, my Google home page opens with the tab.

Up until Firefox 80.0, the cursor would land on the Google search bar in the middle of the screen but now it lands in the URL field - most annoying.

Any ideas?

Since Firefox does not allow for selecting multiple languages for spellcheck, as chromium-based browsers do, I want to create a hybrid dictionary file for both English and Spanish (duplicate built-in en-US dictionary file, rename it as en-es hybrid, and copy all entries of es-AR dictionary into it). However, first I have to find the built-in dictionary file. I've seen in another thread that on Windows, the file is apparently located in the Dictionaries folder in the Firefox folder in Program Files. Does anyone know where this file is located on Mac?

Thanks, David

Strange thing happend today. I opened firefox and found myself with my preset fonts resetted. Never ever have I encountered this in around 20 years of using the browser.

Even worse than the unsollicited reset, I went to Settings > Fonts and Colors to get the fonts back to my preference and I was confronted with my fonts no longer showing up in the list. Yet they are there in my Windows 10 list.. as well as all other browsers I tried to find out what on earth has happened.

I vaguely remember that one or two days ago firefox had updated. Not sure what was updated or whether it doesn't even have to anything to do with that but some obscure settings I accidentally turned on or of I have no idea. I cant find similar problem posted by someoen online either.

I was recently playing with "Themes" by adding and deleting some. Now, when Firefox starts, the theme "Light" is always used as the default. When I look at the themes page, my preferred one is shown as"enabled" and "Light" is shown as "disabled", but it is Light that is actually displayed in the banner display. If I disable, then enable my preferred one, it is then the one displayed. How can I stop "Light" from being the actual default? Firefox does not allow me to delete the Light theme.

I have Firefox set to always open Google.com when a new tab is opened. Before yesterday's update (Aug 27, 2020) the cursor would appear in the Google search bar on opening a new tab, which is the way I want it. After the update, Google still opens as before, but the cursor is at the from of the address bar instead of the Google search bar. I've tried a couple of things to fix this with no luck. What should I do?

I have one computer connected via HDMI cable to my TV which I use almost exclusively to watch programs on NETFLIX or HULU. I realized I didn't need all my bookmarks or websites on my toolbar, so I thought I could simplify by deleting them. When I opened Firefox on my main computer, (different from computer connected to TV) I found that sites I deleted from my toolbar on the computer connected to the TV were also deleted from my main computer.

Is there a way I could separate these two computers so that a change made on one doesn't also get made on the second? Thanks for any help!

Hi, Some Menu and context items are in German even though everything is set to English and it driving me nuts.... see picture. How do I force Firefox to be in English?

Windows 10 Display language is English (US), preferred language is English US, location is Germany. Firefox is version 80 and in Settings General Language is set to English US.

There is a fullscreen mode that prints a window over the full size of the screen without showing toolbars/navigation/extensions... Is there a "full window" mode that do the same, but over the full size of a window? It would be a simple webview in a system window but without the control toolbars. It would be very useful when tiling several Firefox windows without wasting space for toolbars/tabs... This mode should be specific for a window since I do not want to loose the controls on the main screen-wide window.

Hello. I’ve recently made the switch to Firefox due to its deep UI customizability and its open ended scripting capabilities.

I find myself using browser hosted “Apps” more and more these days and have recently realised they are open to being customised through developer tools. Hiding elements such as a side bar or a persistent website header you don’t really care for.

I am wondering is it possible to automate this processes? So instead of opening the developer tools every time you visit a site, instead you configure it once and then its automatically hidden from view.

Secondly, would it be possible to trigger the hiding of elements through a hotkey? So for example you can show or hide a side bar just when you need it?

Just trying to get consensus on what is possible or not and see which direction I need to go. Thanks!

Hi, When I open a new tab the cursor appears in the adressbar. I want the cursor in the searchbar. I think after the last update it changed ... the cursor always was in the searchbar ... now not anymore. I cannot start typing in the adressbar because the google adress remains visible ... I first have to remove that adress before I can start typing.

Help .. please.

I've been finding it awkward reaching my hand round to select the menues button since they moved it to the right side and took away the ability to drag it via customise. I don't see why they had to fix it where it now is, when it was always fine on the left side: maybe this version was made by a left hander, who would be able to steer their mouse pointer in the 'forward' sense, and not have to strain their right hand against its wrist to get to the right corner, as I do.  :/

Anyhow: a solution was offerred, in the form of a style sheet script from Github, a few years ago:

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1184188#answer-1027165

"1) Download the zip file at https://github.com/Timvde/UserChrome-Tweaks and extract the userChrome.css file. 2) Open File Explorer, click 'View', check the box for 'Hidden Items'. 3) Drill down to c:/users/yourname/AppData/Roaming/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/yourdefaultprofile 4) Create a new directory called 'chrome'. 5) Copy userChrome.css to the 'chrome' directory. 6) Restart Firefox."

This looks quite straightforward, but I'm new to GitHub, and I can't find anything about any actual files to download, and, if I try to copy the relevant script from the header link of the script, so that I can create a file in notepad, all that it copies is the title. I can't believe how much time I've wasted just looking for the zip file in step one of the fix!

Css and coding are all pretty alien to me, but I thought I might be able to at least manage the download part.  :/

Much obliged if anyone can explain how one is meant to 'git' things from the GitHub site; and,

If the situation has changed in the various FF versions since this advice was given: Does anyone have a way to move the 'hamburger' button, that will work with the current version?

Many thanks.

So fairly recently, as of about say a month or so ago, my add-ons have suddenly stopped working all the time. At first it was fairly infrequent and I simply closed my browser and re-opened it to fix it, and that method still works but it now happens any time I leave the browser open for about 2-ish hours.

This problem is most noticable with my ad-block add-ons, which I have uninstalled, reinstalled, replaced, and even cleared all my browsing data in an effort to fix. When this problem happens the adblock addon icons, which usually have a number next to them, display nothing when clicked on nor do they display numbers even on ad ridden sites.

If anyone has any suggestions about this please let me know.

I have an item that suddenly appeared at top of my browser window that I did not add. I have attached a picture of the item. Does anyone know what this is and if it is safe and also I don't see it in add ons or extensions so how to I get rid of it?

Thank you, Deborah Hammett

I noticed recently with FF80.0.1 (64-bit) on W10, that when a page is loading there is a 1-2 second delay on page icon loading with default egg timer shape before proper page icon loads. Done numerous antivirus scans / SSD checks / optimise etc - no change. Seems to be a page loading bug of the appropriate icon for that page.
