I-Firefox Isithangami Sokwesekwa

Whenever I add something to my "other bookmarks" folder it forces itself onto the right in my favorites tool bar. This hides my two rightmost icons (besides me just not wanting it there. There is no reason for it to be there).

I have gotten around this by creating a new folder named "other bookmarks 2" and just immediately dumping everything into it if I by mistake add something to the "other bookmarks" folder.

How do I stop it from doing this? I have read people talking about changing code in Firefox etc but 1. I couldn't find out where to do that and 2. I'm not comfortable doing so (especially when this should not be an issue in the first place).

How do I fix this please?

Most downloaded files are saved in the downloads folder as it should be but some files are being stored in C:\Users\******\AppData\Local\Temp. Why is that and can I change it so that all downloads are actually being saved in the downloads folder?

Hello,

I'm very happy that firefox remembers where to save a webpage on my harddisk per url, yet I don't know where it stores that info. I made a new profile, copied places.sqlite in order to get my bookmarks there, but I am missing that firefox knows where it saves pages e.g. from example.com etc.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Windows 10 Trying to change my default search engine from Google to DuckDuckGo When go to options/change default search engine only google, amazon.com, ebay and wikipedia are shown as options. Weird since I don't believe most of these are search engines. Added DuckDuckGo as an extension; tried Firefox in safe mode; refreshed Firefox Searched help topics. I'm stuck!

I want to see/manage some added extensions on Firefox on my PC (Windows 7), but after clicking the menu button and add-ons icon appears a blank tab (about:blank), so I not only can't select Extensions manager, bur can't see anything there. Failed also to open Extensions & Themes from Menu - Options (about:preferences). Please advise how to proceed. Thank you.

I am using a personal home laptop and the checkbox next to the logins and passwords will not stay checked from one session to another. I am using Windows 10 and do not know how to make the checkbox stay checked.

The background color on all the pages in Firefox is now white, it was not like this before, not sure if I clicked on something to make it change or not but it is blinding to open my web browser now. How can i change it back to black or make it dark gray? I have tried going to the options page, (which by the way is black but not the rest of the pages). Your help would be greatly appreciated.

My firefox doesn't start all installed extensions. Only one (lastpass) works properly, which I can see on my utility bar (01.jpg). All others (ex. Norton Safe Web, FVD speed dial) are installed, turned on and I can see them in my addons page (02.jpg), but they doesn't work. I can't see them on my utulity bar and the do nothing.

Yesterday "Other bookmarks" folder appeared into my Bookmark Toolbar, I don't know how. It looks like it's inside Bookmark Toolbar Items because if I customize the Firefox interface and I remove the Bookmark Toolbar Items, the Other bookmarks folder disappears as well.

Do you have any idea how it happened (to prevent it to happen again), and how to get rid of it without losing all bookmarks? I can't drag it, and if I right click on it, the items "Cut", "Delete", and "Properties" on the context menu are greyed out.

Attached screenshots are in Italian, but they are quite self-explanatory about the issue.

I have set to block auto play in options but videos still start, some full size, some go to the top right corner but still play.

Can someone tell me how to set each of the auto play settings in about.config I don't want to mess with it when I am unsure.

I have Windows 10 Version 20 H2 (OS Build 19042.685 and FF 84.0.2

Thanks in advance

Hello Can I deïnstall the add-on/ extention 'HTTPS Everywhere' because of your update Firefox to version 83 with the option for HTTPS only?

Thank's Rob Ankersmit r.ankersmit@upcmail.nl

This question has been asked and answered, but I need more help. My computer just update to 84.0.2. There is now a message "For quick access, place your bookmarks here on the bookmarks toolbar", and a link to manage your bookmarks. When I open that link, I go to a new page entitled Library. This shows the bookmarks I have always kept on the toolbar. So how do I get these back on the toolbar and get rid of the "For quick access...." message?

I have a lot of bookmarked websites on my bookmark toolbar but recently a bookmark folder has appeared on the bar, limiting my space even more. I don't seem to be able to hide it by right clicking, dragging or from the customize menu. I just want to hide it from the toolbar, not delete it.

I'm on Win10 With Firefox 83.0. I cleared my history yesterday, and now when I try to watch video on CBS.com, I get this message: “This video is unavailable because we were unable to load a message from our sponsors. If you are using ad-blocking software, please disable it and reload the page. Error Code: 111”. I have no ad-blocking software that I know of. Can anyone give me a clue on what to do?

How can I prevent Firefox browser from being reset (refreshed)? Doing so will allow all security and filtering add-ons to be deleted, some of which I've paid for in order to protect my network. Can I password protect the settings/help menu?

Restarted and still tabs on top ! argh TIA Jeff

Can I turn off the "control media playback via hardware media keys on a keyboard or headset or virtual media control interface" function? (Firefox 81.0, Windows 10)

Hi all,

I am trying to customize my Firefox on Mac because the tabs on top interfere with the menu bar, thus I only want tree-style tab extension to work on the side, with the tabs on top disabled.

I followed this thread: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1184674#answer-1028260 as well as this clear guide on how to create userChrome.css: https://www.userchrome.org/how-create-userchrome-css.html When I tried to restart the browser, I seemed to have been logged out of my profile, with all customization gone and a standard white (instead of black) menu. I deleted the chrome folder and it is normal again now.

I suspect the userChrome.css file should contain more than just the one line I tried to add: #tabbrowser-tabs { visibility: collapse !important; } ; Is there any location where I can copy my current intra-browser customization into the userChrome.css file?

Hello,

Is there any way I can opt out of the big 5 or 6, regarding "default" search engines? Do I need an add on for that? Or is there a way I can have the freedom to choose how to look for info?

I am trying to default my Search Home page, or engine, or whatever to Yandex.com. The add-on Yandex offers does not work, nor have been updated for years.

Am I locked by what ever Firefox offers, from the usual search engines?

I am at an edge to forsake Firefox, after 20 years of having it as my default browser, because how cirppling and controlling regarding search engines.

Thanx

Hello at the forum!

I used seamonkey for years and it doesn't work as a local email program for me anymore.

I can't configure it to my yahoo/att (pacbell.net) email anymore, would rather do that but...

So I downloaded Firefox to use for a local email/browser. I like having emails on my local pc.

Where do I find the email program on my Firefox and how do I set it up?

I go back to Netscape 1.0

Thanks for any help! ~Kirch
