I have tried every support advice I can find and no matter what I do passwords are not restoring. Here is what I have done: Opened about:profiles Opened profile folder Exit firefox transfer key4.db and signons.jstor files from backup to the new folder

Nothing happens.

I have tried creating new folders and following those steps. I have tried everything.

Hi. I have followed the instructions on the Mozilla site above however this does not work. The Enterprise Roots keep reloading after a while.

Any idea how to stop this happening?

I have read many articles on this but nothing works. The E Roots will in initially not reload but eventually after a day or three its back.

Many thanks

Is there a way to make the URL high lighting of the domain more obvious? I find that most people can barely see the highlighting and I'd like to make it obvious (bolder and red, or highlighted in yellow, for instance.)

Can this be done via userchrome.css?

Thanks,

Thane

Why is there in about:config no reference to documentation of the displayed settings?

e.g. browser.chrome.toolbar_tips.hide_on_keydown

What is it? What is the meaning of the values? What is the default value? Why do we have to guess?

It is probably documented somewhere (I hope). Why is there no reference to it in about:config?

Transferring bookmarks & backups for passwords is easy and I'm not worried about that. But the about:config settings that I have customized and accreted over years so that nothing beeps, spins, auto-plays, loops, or throbs a tab, are not so straightforward. I'd like to review what files I can save how to make sure I do not lose these, which are the most important things to me about my Firefox installs--keeping the web safe for quiet, nondistracting searches and reading.

Windows 10 Enterprise, managed by my organization, but with just enough admin privileges to customize my Firefox.

Steps to reproduce- (1) Enable 'accessibility.blockautorefresh' in 'about:config' (This is said to ask for permission before redirecting) (2) Go here (3) End up here without permission

Extensions I'm using- Privacy Badger, uBlock origin, clearURLs and Show/hide passwords

Another question, does enabling this setting also stop internal redirection?

Hi all,

I’ve been using Firefox for a while now, but coming from Chrome, I’m finding some aspects of Firefox’s cache management and tab behavior a bit inconvenient, and I wanted to share my thoughts.

The issue:

When I restart Firefox (version 133.0.3-1), it loads webpages from the disk cache, which is fine because I’ve set browser.cache.disk.enable to true and browser.cache.check_doc_frequency to 2, it will always make a request to the server on restarting Firefox with the default value of 3. However, the problem arises when I open new tabs — they also load from the disk cache instead of requesting fresh content from the server.

What I’m looking for:

   A way to have Firefox:

Load webpages from the disk cache when restarting the browser (which I want, and I have set browser.cache.disk.enable to true for this). But always make fresh requests from the server when opening new tabs, no matter what the cache settings are.

In Chrome, this behavior is more intuitive — it loads from the cache after restart but always fetches from the server for new tabs, which I find to be much more reasonable.

I understand that about:config provides settings like browser.sessionstore.restore_on_demand, but adjusting this option makes Firefox fetch content from the server for all tabs, including those opened after a restart. This doesn’t seem like a perfect solution because it takes away the ability to use the disk cache after restarting the browser.

I would really appreciate it if Firefox could offer more granular control over this behavior, so users could get the benefits of both caching and real-time requests based on the type of tab (restart vs. new tab).

Thanks for your attention, and I hope to see some improvements in future updates!

Hello!

I would like to dump Chrome and return to using Firefox. I just would like to know if it's possible somehow to remove about:mozilla page from within a browser (it's important for me). If anyone knows of a way to do it - please let me know.

Thank you!

I need to block domain in my Firefox. Lets say example.com. Better if via about:config

Extentions is not a solution (sorry, I cannot comment this for privacy reasons)

Hello,

as per description I noticed that firefox version 138 requires an ArrayBuffer as the argument of WebAssembly.compile() and doesn't allow anymore (like in 137) a SharedArrayBuffer, is this intended or it will be fixed in the future? Follows a simple test case. Kind reagards.

--- index.html --- <title>Example</title> <script> let instance = undefined; async function loadWasm() { try { const response = await fetch('./sum.wasm'); const buffer = await response.arrayBuffer(); const sharedBuffer = new SharedArrayBuffer(buffer.byteLength); const tmpView = new Uint8Array(sharedBuffer); tmpView.set(new Uint8Array(buffer)); const module = await WebAssembly.compile(sharedBuffer); instance = await WebAssembly.instantiate(module); } catch (error) { alert(`failed to compile in wasm: ${error.message}`); } } loadWasm(); function testWasm() { if (instance) alert(`sum 1 + 2 = ${instance.exports.add(1, 2)}`); else alert('invalid instance, failed to compile'); } </script> <button onclick="testWasm()">Press to run wasm function (sum)</button> --- ---

--- sum.wat --- (to convert into .wasm using: wat2wasm sum.wat -o sum.wasm) (module (func $add (param $lhs i32) (param $rhs i32) (result i32) local.get $lhs local.get $rhs i32.add) (export "add" (func $add)) ) --- ---

Hello,

I have old 15 year old mac el capitan -10.11.r with outdated firefox 78.15.0esr 64-bit.... in perfect condition. Unfortunately I can not make updates on browser anymore. Online banking websites does not allow me to use this outdated browser. Would you be so kind to make even paid update for me? Or at least let me know what settings I should change under about:config

Waiting to hear from you! [edited email from public]

Hello,

I have been experiencing this issue for a while, but only just now noticed it. When I hover over a tab, nothing shows up; no preview, no title, no web address, nothing. I have a few extensions, but uninstalled any that would effect tabs at all, with no change. All other extensions I have had since I switched over to Firefox. I have attempted to search for solutions, and have followed what I found. Multiple support questions here have gotten the answer of going into the config to change the following Boolean variables to be true:

   browser.tabs.hoverPreview.enabled 
   browser.tabs.hoverPreview.showThumbnails 

but when I went to do so, they were both already set to true. I disabled and then re-enabled them just to check, but nothing changed. I have a ridiculous amount of tabs open, but that's the only other thing I can think of that would be causing this issue. Just in case, I am in the process of closing as many as I can.

Any advice or assistance would be appreciated.

Thank you.

When accessing about:logins, Firefox prompts for system authentication (Primary password or master password). However, if the user cancels the prompt twice, the password manager still opens and displays all saved logins without authentication.

This behavior bypasses the intended security check and could pose a risk, especially in shared or public machines

Steps to recreate:

1. Open any website
2. Make any css changes. These will be shown in the Changes tab in the dev tools
3. Close dev tools, then re-open. Now those changes won't be shown

Sometimes I need to close dev tools in order to see how the web page would look normally.

I have a requirement where instead of showing the 404 error or 503 error on screen, I want to display a blank screen. I have already tried to set the following configs to false -

security.insecure_connection_text.enabled security.insecure_connection_icon.enabled security.insecure_connection_text.pbmode.enabled browser.ssl_override_behavior security.ssl.errorReporting.automatic security.enterprise_roots.enabled security.tls.version.min

Is there anymore steps to do or any userChrome.css script is required.

PS : I cannot use any extension or addon to do that
