My suggestion is quite simple but will help users make their browsers feel more personal. It's having a built-in speeddial in the startpage instead of most visited websites. A speeddial similar that of Vivaldi, Opera or Yandex.
Id rather have this baked into the browser and not as a type of add-on.
I don't know where i should submit feedback on Firefox as it just brings me here.

When Firefox loads up it calls out to sites, how do I stop that?

I'm using Firefox 68.0, 64 bit, on Win 10 Pro.
When I load up Firefox it takes a while (with a lot of disk activity) to load up. Maybe a minute or so at present, (it was longer until I manually cleared out extravagant amounts of data stored by sites that shouldn't have it).
When looking at the Manage Data functionality under the Privacy settings today, I saw that a large number of sites has their "last used" time marked as "3 minutes ago" which corresponded to the time Firefox was started up.
I looked through the sites involved. Over a hundred of them. Mostly sites that I haven't used for a long time, and not sites that the open pages have any links to (in other words these are not legitimate pre-fetches).
I manually selected the appropriate sites and removed cookies and data.
What is happening?
What default site setting/s can I use to prevent this sort of thing in future (on start-up)?
How do I programmatically access the "Manage Data" functionality? (I'd like to check sites what have gotten onto Firefox, how many cookies they have, how much data space they occupy, when last accessed, and remove their data should I wish. I don't want to do this repeatedly every few days, by hand.)
I've attached an image of the Manage Data screen taken about an hour after Firefox started, to illustrate.
Thanks.

I've read every tutorial and tried everything. My old computer was Windows 7. I now have Windows 10. I don't know if that matters. But it's really irritating that the address bar will not autofill the urls. I don't know how to fix it.
Thank you!
How do I stop Firefox from auto adding websites to Bookmarks even if that page isn't open?

I have 6 websites that automatically add the sites to my bookmarks, even when I am not on the site. I went there once and somehow they are populating my bookmarks with 100s of each site. Also, my folders are being duplicated. The attached image shows a sample of my bookmarks. When I set my mouse on the down arrow to scroll to the end, it takes 115 seconds to roll to the end at about 3 seconds per 40-line page scrolled. Current rough estimate is over 1600 bookmark/folder items. I went thru the editing 2 weeks ago, removing all unwanted bookmarks & folders.
How to stop webpage from loading information

Hi, I'm encountering a lot of lag in Firefox. Websites are loading incredibly slow, mostly after the information actually loads. I'm looking for an option to disconnect access to the internet for a webpage.
For example, Linkedin is the main contributor of this lag. It loads the visual webpage I see, then it loads a lot of information in the background. Until it finishes this background loading, I can't select any text. I'm looking for the option to stop this background loading. Something "stronger" than the button in the top left, where the refresh button is. I want to stop the webpage from being able to access the internet, is this possible?

The USBank Payment Confirmation page has a print button. Using the print button used to print looking the same as the online screen, up until about the beginning of June, now it prints two lines for each online screen (ex: "Fees: No Fee" prints Fees: on one line and No Fee on the next line). Using IE instead of Firefox prints just fine. Also 70% or 100% printing makes no difference. Scaling is automatic.
When typing or clicking in a blank field, caret jumps right then left in an instant.

The "ghost" caret also appears when I'm pressing left or right arrow keys to move the caret. It seems to be white, even when the real caret is black on white background. It is easily seen when a text field background is a dark color. It appears for about one frame, my screen refresh rate is 60Hz.
It doesn't seem to be a "fake" caret or merely a graphical element. When I'm editing a field of text, eg. in Google Docs, I've occasionally started editing or selecting text one character to the right. Like as if in that split second I just happened to send the keystroke when the ghost caret appeared. But because it was so brief, it is near impossible to replicate.
I've tried Firefox in safe-mode and there was no ghost caret. So I removed all add-ons/extensions, but the ghost caret still appears even if I have no extensions installed, which is why it's so baffling. I've refreshed and re-installed Firefox, both didn't work.
This "ghosting" only happens in Firefox, not in IE nor Chrome.
I used a screen capturing software and recorded this problem, then extracted a frame from the video to show the real caret and ghost caret side by side. Hope this better illustrates what I'm seeing. I have Dark Reader activated so the ghost caret can be easily seen. If Dark Reader isn't activated, it would be impossible to see due to the white background.
I do most of my work on cloud based platforms so this ghosting is very annoying and distracting. Or worse, could it be a keylogger or malicious program causing this?
Please help, Thank you!

After the last update, almost all of the icons for my search engines in the search bar are missing. I have to remember which blank box Amazon was in so I can click on that box to get to Amazon. The IMDb icon for some reason is still in its box. How do I get the icons back so I don't have to guess every time I need to find something? I've rebooted, removed and replaced the search box, but nothing works.

Hi there The most recent update for #Firefox has a "bug fix" (1565315) for which the access to details are denied. That's peculiar for an open source project. The bug is about Russian users having their default search engine changed. Is this just a geolock? VPN didn't work. I like to be able to view the details of any update I'm installing, for obvious privacy reasons. When will these details be made available so I can update? Thanks.
I can't get Facebook to load. Works in other browsers on same computer. Advice?

Running Mac OS10 and Firefox 68.0.1 on an iMac. I am able to log into Facebook but only get a blank, gray screen with the Facebook search bar at the top. Facebook loads and operates fine using other browsers on the same computer. Strong Internet connection. Other sites load just fine using Firefox. Here is what I have tried: disabling all Firefox add-ons and extensions, restarting in safe mode, clearing cache and cookies, clearing recent history, doing virus and malware scans (McAfee Total Protection 4.5.9), and even signing into Facebook as a guest. No luck. Any additional advice?

Everything was fine till today, but now Facebook will only open properly if I disable AdBlock Plus. Disabling AdBlock Plus' filter lists doesn't help. All other websites I've tried work fine with the add-on enabled. The problem doesn't happen on Windows 10 64-bit for which Firefox is on a different upgrade channel.

I do not use bookmarks or the sidebar, only the toolbar itself.
I have 50ish bookmarks directly on the toolbar, usually as an icon by itself (to save space for other bookmarks to be added to the toolbar). I have 20ish folders containing even more bookmarks (probably 150 more within folders at minimum). See attached image, also attached in first reply, for reference.
I'm very attached to the toolbar because I have very carefully and specifically customised this toolbar the way it is for super-efficient browsing.
Is there a way to save the toolbar as it currently is and then import the toolbar so that I have the exact same layout as shown in the image? Re-adding the bookmarks individually back to the toolbar is not an option - it would be heavy work and frustrating.
If this doesn't already exist, please make such a function, Firefox devs:)
Any pointers are appreciated!

When searching for words and phrases in PDFs, the results are very hard to notice on the screen! Sometimes I have the page quite zoomed out, and in this case today I have 2-page spreads, so the words are quite small. The found-text highlight colour is a very pale blue, and is only as big as the word.
I would like to see, and so suggest, something along these lines:
- a brighter result highlight, more vibrant and contrasting than pale blue (this could be customisable & maybe themable too)
- a border around the result, or at least an oversized highlighted region
- an eye-catching animation to draw your vision towards the search result, such as a pulse in scale, or a large box fading in and shrinking to wrap around the result.
This is very simple to reproduce to check what I am saying, if you haven't already noticed this! Just open a document with many pages and columns and images, zoom out and choose one of the page spread options, and then Ctrl+F search for a word.
Thank you for reading, I hope this can be relayed to the right people!

I use an ultrwide monitor so I often view two webpages side by side, now for exmaple if I snap firefox to the right side of my screen it works fine, but I can't then drag out a tab and snap it to the left side of my screen and maximise the space in one go, in Windows 7 this used to work.
In windows 10 you have to drag out the tab, then drag and snap to maximise the space fully, in chrome for example it works in one go, just drag the tab and snap, maximise in one go.

For many websites, my Firefox (68.0.1) does not save my login info. The box is checked in Privacy and Security asking it to do so. I've erased login info for a website, with the idea of changing my login info, but it won't save the subsequent (correct) login. It not only doesn't request to do so, but I go to Saved Logins and it isn't there. That is, for a given website, it once did save the login info, and sometimes doesn't do it any more. What's going on??
Oh, I will add that my blocking list for websites I don't want logins saved for is empty.

Other observed behavior: At the gmail log-in, I opted to have firefox not ask me for the 2-factor authentication in this device, but firefox ALWAYS asks for it.
When I open my most visited tabs (Top Sites) with triple-click (open in new background tab), they started sorting incorrectly yesterday.

Let's say I'm in New Tab, and I triple-click 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Top Sites in that order. In the past, the order of tabs would be New Tab, 1, 2, 3. Since yesterday's update, the order is now New Tab, 1, 2 (as usual), but then 3rd Top Site opens up right behind New Tab, so the final arrangement is New Tab, 3, 1, 2. Why on earth could this be happening!?
