I am having a problem with clippings extension. Every day this week when I click on the clippings icon, the page doesn't appear. (The web browser flashes - but the clippings page doesn't appear) I have to remove clippings, reinstall clippings and then restore clippings from backup. Clippings works for the rest of the day just fine - even if I close out of the browser. When I come back in the next day - clippings are gone and I have to go through the whole process again.

I've tried reinstalling firefox as well as refresh.

Firefox version: 78.13.0esr

Note: Clippings has worked fine for the past 5+ years.

I have a text on a webpage on 2 lines, which are separated by (invisible) instruction to go to the next line (a so-called "cr/lf").

I copy this text (including the cr/lf) from the web page to the clipboard. I activate the search function with "control-f", and I paste this text in the search box, then Firefox finds 0 matches.

for example:

line1 line2

Between line1 and line2 is a CRLF.

So, in above example, on the clipboard there is "line1CRLFline2"

I have the following questions:

1. Is there a way to overcome this? To find correct search result? (1 match) 2. Is there a plugin/extension available that can handle the above scenario?

Hi,

I have found out how to create a windows shorcut that opens a specific profile in firefox but I have not been able to make a shortcut with a specific profile and have it open a specific web site.8-((

Is there something I can add to the target window perhaps and make that a windows shortcut please?

Thanks,

Martin

I removed bitwarden & grammer & spell checker extensions by clicking "Remove from Toolbar" & cannot find it either in the customize section even after resetting to defaults.

Thank you

After a fresh install of Firefox everything works, but after copying over my old profile data the built-in search engine icons disappear. I have tried the "Restore Default Search Engines" button, deleting search.json.mozlz4 and favicons.sqlite. I cannot find any setting or file that references an icon URI for these search engines.

This happened a week ago, and then after a fresh install I only copied over the most important bits of the profile and setup a lot of things from scratch, but I don't want to repeat that again...

Where are the search engine icon URIs stored? What do I have to set, edit or delete to fix this?

La nouvelle interface est DEGUEULASSE, especialy the new tabs the session restaure button is now hidden in the historic menue (member when it was aviable on Firefox hompage?)

Daaammmn it seeme that people behind thsoe updated LOATHE with passion people like me.

How do I revert back? Any add on for this yet?????? I tried peuytting some theme doesn't help much...

This even WORSE THAN THE AUSTRALIS THEME !!!!!!!!!

It look like shit because taht shit ain't pratical, it not simplified you juste remooved stuff that was pratical it is lighter not simpler... And Lighetr is not better.

I use Firefox to open a webpage that has PDF forms that I use routinely. Up until yesterday, 8-24-2021, I would click on the link and the form would open in Acrobat as I desire. Yesterday they started opening in the built in PDF preview, which I am sure is nice for some who just want to read a document, but does not meet my needs for signatures, etc.... I am guessing there was an update that was installed. I changed the settings to open PDFs in Acrobat and it continues to open them in the previewer. I change the setting to ask what to do and it continues to open them in the previewer. Is there an additional setting that I am missing someplace?

Greetings, and thank you for taking the time to read my request for help. I use Firefox to view the electronic evidence folders of my Social Security disability clients, which are made available in a web-page-based format with relative links to the documents that are saved in PDF format in the downloaded electronic folder. Each of the exhibits on the exhibit list or case documents with a URL that begins with "file://".

My problem is that Firefox now insists on opening the PDF files in my clients' electronic folders using its internal viewer and not Adobe Acrobat EVEN THOUGH I have gone to Settings->Applications and configured all PDF and TIFF file types to open in Adobe Acrobat DC (Please see screenshot below). This is annoying to say the least because I frequently need to run Adobe Acrobat's OCR on the medical records in my clients' electronic folders so that I can copy text to paste into notes or documents and because I need Adobe Acrobat's ability to take snapshots of portions of the exhibits to paste into documents or notes.

What is odd about this issue is that if I download a PDF from a website with a "http://" or "https://" URL, Firefox _WILL_ open up that PDF in Adobe Acrobat DC per the configurations in the Settings->Applications section.

The first uploaded image shows the settings in the Applications section of Settings. The second uploaded image is an example if Firefox opening a PDF document using its internal viewer in spite of the settings in the Settings->Applications section.

Any help in rectifying this issue would be very much appreciated.

Many thanks, Will Snyder

I keep my Gmail tab open and pinned. I really hate the blue dot/light that shows up when I get a new email. The method described here had worked for a long time but no longer works. Help please! Mozilla, can you guys provide an option to disable it?

Thanks to Proton expanding my Bookmarks Menu off the bottom of the screen, I was re-arranging my bookmarks folders. While wondering which of my folders I had to prune, I noticed another in-built redundancy. The entry "Manage Bookmarks Ctrl+Shift+O" appears twice, at the top and the bottom of the menu. Incidentally the bottom entry is misaligned (Firefox v89 on Windows).

Is there a particular reasons for this duplication? Can I remove either of these entries?

Hello

i am trying to disable these search addons but i can't find how to do it.Can you help me to set them from true to false? Is there a trick or value at about config or anything else. I also search at extensions folders and i can't find them.

Thank you.

I just restarted my macbook, and suddenly firefox's display looks like this. I've tried looking in setting for the option to turn this off but I couldn't find anything which suggested it. If anyone knows could you please help?

This is how tabs like google search and google slides look. And the blanking out in the firefox add ons manager.

can't see the option to disable updates. i know i can do this in about:config. I want to know why this option isn't in the settings. Ubuntu 20.04.2.0 LTS, FF 91

I have installed Googles messages on Firefox and it works fine after I scan the QR code. However, when I close down Firefox and then reopen it does not remember the QR code and I must scan again to use messages even though is clicked on the "remember this device" button. How do I fix this? Betty Parrott

Hi All. Recently went into the Firefox Preference Settings and there were no check marks on anything that I usually have them on, like: check to make sure Firefox is default browser, block deceptive sites, can't check mark any item in the Clear History window, nothing has a mark so I don't know if what I want on IS On or OFF. Hopefully someone of you can help me out with this. It will be so much apreciated. Thanks. Charlene

The update to FF 89 caused a big problem. Large spaces in between the bookmarked web sites when the window unfolds. So now, many bookmarks don't fit in the window, and to get to the bottom - the ones I can't see - I have to click the arrow at the bottom. But making it worse, is that if I do go to the bottom, the next time I open the bookmark tab, the list will open at the bottom (it doesn't revert to the top). So I'd have to scroll up to get to the ones at the top - AND the "Other Bookmarks" tab, where I also store bookmarked sites.

I list my bookmarks in the order they're in so I can get to the ones I go to most often as fast as possible. So they're at the top - I don't have to scroll far to get to them. And the "Other Bookmarks" is hidden when the window opens at the bottom. So I'd have to scroll up to get to that as well.

Also, this update changed the size of the command windows - like the copy/paste window, or the window to get the correct spelling of the word. They're so big, they run from the top of the screen to bottom, instead of a small square. So you'll have to scroll way up to get to the command or word you want.

I did find a way to get it back to what it was:

1. Open a tab and enter about:config, click OK after the warning 2. Search proton, a few will come up, change all the ones that are true to false. One was already false so I kept it, and the last one had a 3, which I kept. 3. Exit and open FF.

This will also revert the right-click command boxes back to small squares.

I posted this on this message board but this was added:

==WARNING: There are plans to remove this preference in the next two months The preference setting was created as a toggle for developers when building the new design. Now that the new interface has shipped, the preference will be removed.

If you have any issues with the new design, please let us know what it is you don't like, and we can try provide more permanent solutions depending on the issue.==

No! Do NOT remove this preference! Either that or just get it back to what it was by default. I do not want longer bookmark menus and larger command windows. It was perfect the way it was.

Is there any way to remove the 'line' under my uppermost search line/box that refers to 'For quick access, place your bookmarks here on the bookmarks toolbar' (on the left) and Other bookmarks (on the right)? It just takes up more space. I use the Menu bar, and can access it from 'Bookmarks'.

Thank you.

I am using Windows 10. In other major browsers adding URL's to the taskbar is a simple task. Why is it so difficult in Firefox? Adding them to the desktop is easy but not to the taskbar.
