Why do nightly updates lead to a change in my default Search Engine? After every update, all my searches (address bar and search bar) are done via the default search engine (Yahoo). I do not want this. For the 5th time I have changed it to my preferred site. The OneClick search preference is not changed - and here the Default Search Enginge is not even selected as an option.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Firefox opens and has a teeny tiny little address bar and tabs and everything else displays differently. I've tried making Firefox my default browser. I've tried updating twice. I've tried combing through preferences for anything that might make a difference.

Nothing works. In the picture, for reference, the Apple and menu bar at the very top are normal sized.

I'm gonna be honest, this is the LAST time I'm giving Firefox a chance. If I can fix this relatively simply, I'll do it. If it involves me needing to suddenly know how to be a software engineer and go into an obscure file in an obscure folder of an application and mess with anything that ends in .css, I'm out.

I'm running Mojave 10.14.6 on a MacMini (late 2018) with 64 GB 2667 MHz DDR4 and Firefox v86.0 64-bit.

I need to disable Command+D that's currently used to "Bookmark This Page".

I need Command+D for another use.

I've searched about:config for "bookmark" and get a lot of hits, but I can't tell which one controls the setting for Command+D.

Or . . . am I barking up the wrong tree?

I want to disable Command+D.

Leaving the ability to mouse up and click Bookmarks > "Bookmark This Page" is ok.

I just need to disable the keyboard shortcut Command+D for "Bookmark This Page".

Anyone got a "howto" for this?

Thanks!

Is it possible to view a list of all the things that were printed within the Firefox browser? I'm not interested in browsing history-- I'm specifically after an entire list of things that were printed using a printer within Firefox. I tried looking for threads asking the same question, but it seems like everything is focused around the normal browsing history. The system is MacOS Big Sur Version 11.2.1.

I have tried repeatedly to add an Ad Blocker to Firefox (as I have in the past) but they do not work. I have looked for them after downloading but cannot find them on Firefox. Can anyone help me with this? Ad Blacker worked fine on my old iMac but not on the new one. I am not getting ads on my home page but I am getting two blocks of "code" where the ads would normally appear.

Thank you.

Mac 10.15.7. FIREFOX 86. Groups of bookmarks are gone. This happens regularly. Bookmarks I rebuild yesterday, that group is gone today.

The bookmarks are "there" but not in their group.  Takes hours to re-sort.

It takes a LONG time to rebuild from HTML backup. The jsn backup is ok, but it wipes everything I have done today out. I backup almost every day.

I have thousands of bookmarks = hours of work. Then I have to spend many hours rebuilding. 1/ What is happening? 2/ How to stop it?

I put "bookmarks" for the subject but that's just because none of the other options adequately describes my situation! I just got a new MacBook Air. I hate Safari, so I always use Firefox instead as my main browser on Mac. Have been doing it for years. This time, I set up Firefox the way I wanted it, with a specific home page, logged into all my sites, emails, Facebook, youtube, etc etc, and set them all on my Toolmarks bar. ... Then a couple of days later, had to re-sign in to my computer due to downloading software, and lost everything I had done on Firefox! Had to re-sign into all my accounts again as well. Set everything up on Firefox again ... couple of days later, had to re-sign into my computer to due to downloading software ... lost everything I had set up on Firefox, had to re-sign into all my accounts. I would be so appreciative if anybody could tell me why this is happening and what I can do to fix it! I really love Firefox and don't want to give it up! Talked to Apple about it and they say it's not their issue. ... Thanks so much!!

Hi, Since this morning, for some unknown reason, when I place my cursor over a text section in my browser, one or two seconds later a rectangle appears below with the same text inside (it does so with ALMOST all text, regardless of the fact that it is or isn't clickable, apparently, but it does not work with some text here and there – for instance on this very page). It does not correspond to anything I've (voluntarily) asked for, I haven't found anything in the FF settings that relates to this, and I do not think it has anything to do with the plugins I use, though it does correspond to my installing this add-on this morning: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/new-tab-suspender/. Which I've temporarily deactivated... but the popup rectangles keep appearing. Does anyone know why these popups have started appearing all of a sudden, and can anyone help me figure out how to get rid of them? Thanks in advance. Best, jpg

After updating to the latest Firefox, my USAA Banking website will not load properly. It will only display the top banner and even that is dysfunctional. I am also having issues with Ebay and facebook. I have turned off enhanced tracking for the site. I have enabled cookies Running Big Sur 11.2.2 Bluhell Firewall 2.8

Is there a way to stop Firefox from suggesting/autocompleting the root URL of pages I've bookmarked? For example, say I've bookmarked https://www.mysite.com/pageone and named it "My Site - Page 1". If I start typing "my" in the URL bar, the very first suggestion is https://www.mysite.com, instead of my bookmark.

NOTE: I have disabled ALL other suggestions other than bookmarks, including common/popular sites (i.e. typing "goo" will not autocomplete with google, because I have not bookmarked any google sites)

I didn't bookmark the root URL, so I don't want it to be suggested. Any way to disable this behavior?

Thanks!

Hi all. Suddenly noticed Pinterest's search, notifications, messages and account links aren't working in Firefox (86.0 64-bit on Mac Big Sur 11.2.2). Can find older reported issues that are the same but nothing recent, could this be a Facebook Container issue? Any help appreciated, Many thanks Nick

Hello, I have wanted to move from Chrome to Firefox for some time and I finally got to try it out today. Something that has bothered me since the beginning is that right clicking when the cursor hovers over text behaves differently than I'm used to.

This is the behavior I want:

1. User action: With the cursor over text.
2. User action: Right click / double click if in Mac
3. Browser action: The word that the cursor is hovering should be automatically selected and the appropriate actions (copy, select all, search…, etc.) should appear in the contextual menu.

Instead of those options in the contextual menu, the normal page options are appearing (Save Page As, View Page Source…).

Where do I change this behaviour?

Additionally, how can I make the contextual menu include the «Look Up "foo"» option as it does in Chrome (Mac)?

PS: check the names of the images; basically: Chrome; Firefox-what-I-get; Firefox-what-I-want

When I read pdf files, I always change 'automatic zoom' to 'page width'.

However, whenever I press a link on the contents bar/sidebar on the left side, the pdf size always go to 'page fit'. How do I stop this from happening?

The website https://pluto.tv does not play more than an 1hour when using FF 86 on a Mac OS, sha256:ac678174a4d7b3db70da94bdec7d54b3fa96db3e756d584c5a7d1cf09ca65a12.

The symptom is it will play the video then the screen goes blank after about 1 hour and there is a cursor moving from left to right continuously at the top. I have cleared cookies through preferences and through web developer with no effect. I believe the cookies remain in effect because only when I close the FF browser and reopen does it recover. I have "delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed"

When I use another browser there is no problems. Is this a cookie problem why does play back recover when FF is closed and reopened?

I did not know until now that the Firefox Notes service was being discontinued. Now, the app disappeared from my phone and there is no option to get the synced notes as the Firefox Notes status article mentions. I have some important information on there. Is there a way to recover it?

Hello mozilla-community,

is it possible to deny cookies in general and only allow a few specific websites to store cookies? Could you tell me how to do this if it is possible?

specs: Firefox Version 86.0

Thank you for your help.

Seit den letzten Updates laufen Netflix und Amazon Prime nicht mehr auf meinem Mac in Firefox. In Safari und Chrome hingegen läuft alles ausgezeichnet und ohne Fehlermeldung. Unsere Tochter benutzt das gleiche MacBook Pro von 2015 und hat die gleichen Probleme mit Firefox aktuell.

I'm using Firefox 86.0 on an Apple Silicon Mac mini (16 GB/2TB) with macOS 11.2. Several times a day when I return to the browser, it will have become completely unresponsive to clicks and or typing. In this state, I can't click on web pages, or controls in the tab bar. However, the app is not beach-balling. I can quit by right clicking on the dock icon and choosing quit from the menu (I don't have to force quit). Relaunching fixes things. Also, if I have, for example, clicked on the "new tab" button in the tab bar, once I've quit and launched again, the new tab will be in the window, indicating that the command was processed, but the result was not visible. Sometimes, but not always, when in this state the page display looks like it has been scaled to about 50%. (As if I'd hit "Zoom out" five times). One clue that may relate to this is, I'm running in scaled mode on the monitor (The monitor is capable of 3840x2160, but I'm scaling things in the Display control panel to 2560x1440.) Apps are running in Retina mode. I have tried running Firefox in Safe mode, but that didn't help. I have a lot of tabs that I don't want to lose, so running in a fresh user profile is kind of difficult, unless there's a simple way to transfer open tabs between profiles.
