I am trying to remove the some default search engines from Firefox. I can remove them in settings yet if I type @ then a number of search engines I don't want including Bing Google and Amazon are still there. I think I have found the json that makes them visible:
resource://search-extensions/list.json
Which contains:
"default": {
"searchDefault": "Google",
"searchOrder": ["Google", "Bing"],
"visibleDefaultEngines": [
"google", "amazondotcom", "bing", "ddg", "ebay", "twitter", "wikipedia"
]
}
Is this file in my profile? Can it be edited to remove the @keyword searches. If not, is there another way to get rid of them?

Simply will not stop crashing. I use Linux, I have done nothing to my computer or settings to cause this. It is being caused by something in the update. Does anyone know if they are going to fix this or do i have to go back to that stupid chrome? I am disabled and live on my computer - I use it about 18 hours a day and the crashes are crazy. Ctashes on every website, no rhyme or reason to it. Can anyone tell me if this is going to be fixed?

Min and max buttons are not available on extensions windows, beside that those windows are always on top (only of Firefox itself, not in other windows), so I can not continue using Firefox when one window is open. My specific case is that I need to use "Katalon recorder" extension, but i can't, since I need to move the windows around to record my moves on any page, which makes it really annoying. Is there any workaround for this?? (I am on linux deepin 15.11 and Firefox nightly 71.0a1 (2019-09-09))

I'm on a contract with 4G/5G connection speed but with very limited data usage allowance. Many websites choose to play HD media because of the very fast connection, but this is terrible for my plan. I want a setting to tell Firefox to always save as much bandwidth as possible and always choose lowest possible quality for every media. Or at the very least not load videos as long as I'm trying to change the automatically pre-determined video quality. With FF69 clicking on a video on Youtube will start loading and playing HD quality and thus simply wasting precious bandwidth.

When I start typing the few letters of a certain URL I always get the same (wrong) suggestion which is no longer valid because the URL changed. The old url was jira.nex.lan:8080. The new url is jira.nex.lan (port 80). I like being able to just type in "jira" and hit enter. This works great with chrome where I can delete predictions and it actually works. I already tried everything for firefox and nothing works:
- Changed the URL for my bookmark from jira.nex.lan:8080 to jira.nex.lan. There are no bookmarks with the old url.
- Deleted everything from my history matching jira.nex.lan:8080
- Deleted places.sqlite in my profile (which seems to have erased my entire history)
- Press the down arrow button and select the prediction and press shift-delete or just delete. This doesn't work because it's the first prediction. Even if I arrow down and then back up to it, pressing shift-delete or delete just deletes the text from the address bar. The prediction always comes back next time. I went through the list and made sure to delete anything below the top that contained the url.
After following all of these steps, when I type "jira" and hit enter, it still always goes to jira.nex.lan:8080. The only thing I can think of is deleting the entire .mozilla folder, which I expect would work, but it would wipe out all of my customization, which is not OK.
I attached a gif where I try to do the shift-delete method.

Hi, I run firefox on Linux Mint 18.3 Cinnamon with kernel 4.15.0-36-generic inside Virtualbox (InnoTek Systemberatung GmbH VirtualBox Graphics Adapter (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]). Since I believe Firefox 68, I got systematic tab crashes on various website like old.reddit.com bloomberg.com/europe or the login page of amazon.fr What I tried with no result : removing all extensions, cleaning and then creating a new profile, uninstall purge and reinstall firefox, disabling hardware acceleration, rebooting several times the VM. It only works with Firefox in Safe mode so there's hope.
When the tab crashes, there's no option to report the crash so about:crashes is empty. My VM has plenty of RAM (1,8 GiB used of 7,8 GiB) so I don't think it's due to an OOM killer.
Thanks for the help, I would like to keep using Firefox.

I'm using a Docker container to install Firefox ESR via apt-get and then start a Firefox process using a Node.js script that is also started from the Dockerfile. Unfortunately, I'm unable to view any content on Firefox as I get a string of errors. Furthermore, I've tried Googling these errors to no avail. Here are the commands used to install Firefox ESR:
RUN apt-get update && apt-get -y install firefox-esr RUN mkdir -p /var/run/dbus
I am then using the spawn module from Node.js' child_process module with the following command:
firefox-esr -browser -foreground -width ${width} -height ${height} -safe-mode
Here is the full method used to run firefox-esr
export const firefox = (env: NodeJS.ProcessEnv, width: number, height: number) => spawn('sudo', [
'firefox-esr',
'-browser', '-foreground',
'-width', `${width}`,
'-height', `${height}`,
'-safe-mode'
], {
env,
stdio: [
'ignore',
'inherit',
'inherit'
]
})
The errors I receive in the console are:

I'm using Firefox 67.0 under MX Linux. My monitor is 25" with a resolution of 1920x1200. With this resolution, the text and icons in Firefox Menu and Toolbars are tiny and almost impossible to read. The Thunderbird add-on Theme and Font Size Changer works reasonably well for Thunderbird, so is there a corresponding add-on for Firefox?
I know that Firefox is largely developed by people who are volunteers, but it seems that a tool, as part of the basic Firefox program, should be available to make these changes without installing add-ons or modifying the code manually. Almost everyone needs to be able to tweak these things at one time or another.

Often I open a page and it appears smaller than I want, sometimes like a postage stamp, sometimes like a third size, and sometimes as I want it, full page as if I clicked the square box on the top of the page. This got MUCH worse after the last update.
These are regular pages, not special in any way that I know of. They worked as intended a few weeks ago, then changed by themselves.
I really want ALL pages to appear at the largest size EVERY time I open them, WITHOUT having to click the sizing box at all (DEFAULT).

It will go for a second or two, and then start over. It doesn't matter if it's across the internet or my home network. wget seems to work, and doesn't seem to have the same issues. I've tried multiple things. Restarting the browser, deleting the .mozilla direct, etc. To get it to stop, I also have to exit out of the browser completely. Thank you.
