Is there a way that I can recover my New Tab page setup (just the new tab page) from a Macrium Reflect backup of my OS disk? I recently did some cleanup that cratered my FireFox profile (developer and beta also). I would like to somehow recover just the New Tab page setup from the os backup. Any solution? Thanks for your help.

Hi!

I like to have my browsing history cleared after I quit Firefox, but I found out that this will break the action to open previous windows and tabs.

How to have these two options live together?

Is there any way I can completely disable horizontal scrolling? I'm using a laptop with a trackpoint (lenovo x230, Windows 10) and it's not terribly accurate, which means scrolling whilst a youtube video is going often makes it track backwards or forwards, and another website I use uses a horizontal click to send me to the next page, which sucks. I would prefer to just be able to disable it entirely. Thanks!

I swear to god I used to have it disabled, just need to work out how again.

Hi,

with a lot of effort I edited three times all my container entries at about:preferences#containers, but the changes were not overtaken correctly.

Now I want to start from the scratch without having to create a new Firefox profile. How can I delete the container entries permanently ? I already tried uninstalling and reinstalling the extension, but the entries were still there afterwards.

Thanks

For some reason text on some websites such as wikipedia and timeanddate is completely messed up, it looks like gibberish but is actually just displayed wrong. When you copy the text and paste it into something like Word it shows the text correctly, I've noticed that the text is shifted by one letter forward (e is f, f is g, etc.). I've tried the main, beta and nightly releases as well as reinstalling Firefox. Images attached.

Dear Firefox, It is a matter of great regret that your popular browser has failed to sync back my saved bookmarks and other data once i reinstalled firefox. This issue is not new as it happened to me before.. Last time I didn't bother as I thought this might be an bug but today once I reinstalled firefox and signed in.. It seemed that firefox has yet once again failed to syn all my bookmarks, data, extensions etc... It is a huge pain as I cant keep on repeating myself to save all the extensions and preferences.. please solve this issue or I wll have to seek other browsers

I have a big problem with password security. While checking my passwords I see bad passwords, I click to remove and next day they are back again. I have deleted approximately 20 to 30 passwords and almost all have returned? Something is seriously wrong and I am almost positive a hacker has gotten into the computer? Anything else I can check???

Had to refresh Firefox but lost my bookmark sidebar & can't find a way to re-establish it. Used to be a setting for it at the top of the home page but none now. Can't find it in settings.

I used to get images off web pages easily, now I just get an html link, which when I try and copy to powerpoint presentation, just gives me the link address and not the image! Very slow and unusable in the end. please help me to get to jpg or png as before.

I recently bought a drawing tablet for some editing and I edit pictures on a website but every time I move the pen vertically on this browser it scrolls up and down accordingly and so far none of the settings have been helpful for stopping this.

Hi,

I have for some time (over a year) been using a remote server as a SOCKS5 proxy for Firefox so I can bypass my local ISPs filtering.

The proxy connection is setup using an SSH tunnel like this:

ssh -D 8080 -q -C -N -f root@<remote server> That sets up port 8080 on my local machine to listen for connections which will be forwarded to ssh on the remote server acts as aSOCKS4/SOCKS5 proxy.

    -D [bind_address:]port
            Specifies a local “dynamic” application-level port forwarding.  This works by allocating a socket
            to listen to port on the local side, optionally bound to the specified bind_address.  Whenever a
            connection is made to this port, the connection is forwarded over the secure channel, and the
            application protocol is then used to determine where to connect to from the remote machine. 
            Currently the SOCKS4 and SOCKS5 protocols are supported, and ssh will act as a SOCKS
            server. 

Tried it today and it doesn't work any more. I've attached a picture of my Firefox Proxy settings and a picture of the Firefox version I am currently running. plus a picture of the error I get when I try to access the BBC website using Firefox via the proxy.

I've tried all combinations of "Proxy DNS when using SOCKS v5" and "Enable DNS over HTTPS" with no effect. I've also tried it from "Troubleshooting Mode" and the same thing happens.

I also tried accessing https://www.bbc.co.uk through the same proxy by using the command:

curl --silent --location --socks5 localhost:8080 https://www.bbc.co.uk

and it worked perfectly.

I'd be grateful if you could have a look at it and let me know what is wrong.

Thanks, Alan

I am on Manjaro Linux and installed the update to Firefox 108. The result is an unwieldy, unhelpful interface that is the opposite of the efficiency claimed by Mozilla. I can't close tabs, I can't even easily find them. The top bar gives me two controls with identical function: both show "Save to Pocket" and "Customise toolbar..."

Could you tell me how I can close tabs, please? If I can't, then I'll be adding to an endless history, probably making the browser slower and slower.

Who asked for these changes? In what way are they they helpful to me?

First off, this may be a duplicate, I entered my data then went to alternate page to extract config file, returned, pasted info, and submitted. I then got block indicated required fields not filled, this field and the 2 above, so please forgive me if it is duplicated.

Problem: I have the top menu enabled, and also auto-hide my tab bar. The latest update 108.0 64 bit has caused my tab bar to slide up into the menu bar when 'hidden', basically mixing the 2. This even occurs with only a single tab open. Makes it tough to access menu items going around the tabs. Addons are Ad Blocker Plus, Privacy Badger, Disable HTML5 autoplay, Forecast Fox Fix, and Ugly Email.
