I-Firefox Isithangami Sokwesekwa

Hi, I have an issue when i goto google.com and try search it always put text in address bar and never in the actual search field. I have tried to change it but can not figure out how. It is very annoying as I have a whole screen for text but it wants to only use the address bar..... Im at the point where I am considering changing browsers due to I can not get use to it and really dislike it.

I have been using the theme Dark from Mozilla for years and years, but suddenly, like in the last 3 days or so, it appears that it is forcing every single freaking website to use dark mode, and I don't want it to do that.

I tried the "Colors" option in the "Fonts and Colors" section, but didn't that isn't at all what I want. Thing is, if I change to a "Light Theme", it forces the sites that I want to be in dark mode to be in light mode.

Can anyone help me?

Hi,

I want Firefox to save files without asking. I need it for E2E test automation, recentyl something has to change in update because even in GUI I don't see an option to remember my choice. In case of E2E framework I had a setting which was working but now stopped to work:

desiredCapabilities: {

               browserName: 'firefox',
               alwaysMatch: {
                   'moz:firefoxOptions': {
                       prefs : {
                           "browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk": "application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet",
                           "browser.download.folderList": 2,
                           "browser.download.dir": downloadsFirefoxPath,
                           "browser.download.lastDir": downloadsFirefoxPath
                       },
                       args: []
                   }
               }
           },

How to do it today?

Have latest version of Firefox Browser on my macbook. Used to be when I "Bookmark Current Tab" I could select where that bookmark was saved but not just goes into toolbox. How can I change that so once again I can save to bookmark folder I want?

I set up firefox to use the search bar, and the first time I used firefox I typed into the search bar and it worked that way; however, each time thereafter when I typed into the search bar the text appeared in the address bar. I have tried resetting the selection without success. Any suggestions?

Hi. I made my own custom theme a few weeks ago, and I liked it. It has a dark toolbar, but the automatic new tab was still light. I liked it this way. I updated the browser today, and now it's essentially in dark mode and I can't find how to change it back. I really hate white text on a black background, and as I did not choose that as part of my custom theme, I would really appreciate being given the choice to change it back.

To avoid neck strain, I have my browser window set to fill only the lower part of my screen - not maximized.

When I open regular FF, it opens the window to the desired size & position. But when I then open a private window, it opens in the right size, but at the top of the screen, and I have to move it down every time - which strains my neck. Is there any setting I can change so that the private window will open in the same size & position as the regular window?

I have recently updated directly from v89 to v92.0.2. Since then, I do not have the task manager option in the dropdown menu > More tools. Screenshot attached shows what I mean. This issue does not exist on a new profile if I were to make one, but I am trying my best to avoid transferring everything to a new profile if I have to.

If the only solution is to indeed use a new profile, I would like to know if there's a way to transfer addons and their settings through file copying and pasting.

Thank you for the help!

How do you remove The Firefox Title bar from my desktop? It prevents me from clicking the "Accept or Decline" buttons for example on software installs for example. on your support page I tried the "firefox menu> + customize & disable the title bar through the button in the bottom left corner of the window". There is no "customize" option.

Trying to use the seach box in the centre of the Firefox homepage (google search engine) .. everything I type goes up to the address bar . Tried changing settings - I see there's a search box option in the 'tool bar' which looks to be up at the side of the address bar. cant understand why we need another one as well as the one in the centre.

Also by turning off suggestions and not choosing the 'search box option in the 'tool bar' , the address bar is now only accepting URLs so searching isnt working.

So ..1. Is the search box in the centre no use?

        2.  Does search work with all suggestions turned off?

When I try to check the box to open previous windows and tabs on startup it won't let me. Why not?

duplicate. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1361612

"Homepage and new windows" setting allows "Custom URLs" as an option. "New tabs" setting allows only "Firefox home page (default)" or "Blank page"

Why is there no longer an option in "New tabs" for a "Custom URL" ??

Is this just another of those program designers' decisions of a less-is-more "improvement" . . . ? Well, it's not.

How can I return to having my Homepage URL also designated for new tabs?

Thank you.

Hi. I was wondering if there's any way to change the shape of shortcuts like Chrome (Square to circle). I mentioned two images. Unfortunately, MaterialFox's theme could not help me and there weren't similar themes or extensions.

And I don't want shortcuts become bigger/highlighted like 3rd image, when I hold the cursor on them.

Thanks and sorry for my bad English! :)

There is a known issue for some i3 users that when we click the right-mouse button, the context menu will pop up in a position where the first item in the menu is already highlighted, so when the right mouse button is released, it automatically "selects" that item. So if we want to copy a link, for example, we have to be careful to move the mouse before releasing the button or that link will immediately be opened in a new tab.

What some of us have done in the past is to create a userChrome.css file setting a top (and/or left) margin for that menu, which fixes the issue.

In the latest version(s?) of Firefox, this no longer works (but other userChrome.css rules I have set up continue to work), so I'm assuming that the ID of the context menus has been changed. What is the ID now?

Hi. I'd like to have websites display as light mode but use a dark theme in Firefox. However, depending on if I'm using a dark or light theme, sites are all displaying light/dark according to the theme.

I have: browser.in-content.dark-mode set to false ui.systemUsesDarkTheme set to ""0"" widget.content.allow-gtk-dark-theme set to ""true"" widget.disable-dark-scrollbar set to ""true"" widget.gtk.alt-theme.dark set to ""false""

I'm on Fedora 34 with Firefox 95.0

I wonder if my profile might be corrupt? I was getting some crashes lately and when I restarted firefox sometimes it would load an older tab state. It's fine now when I quit and re-open... but I do wonder :/

thanks for your help!

Hello,

I Installed Firefox today (version 95.0.2) and for some reason I am unable to find the "Forms and Autofill" section in the settings. I am in the US, and confirmed my internationalization & localization is set to ["en-US"] for everything.

I also don't have the credit card autofill options either.Forms and Autofill section does not appears under the privacy & security section as listed in the help forums.

I'm also on Windows 10.

A few days ago, I found a theme in the store that I really liked. However, I didn't like one of the colors and wanted to change it. So, after some searching around, I discovered (from this forum, actually) that you can edit the files for themes and extensions if you use an archive manager or file extraction tool like 7zip. Upon doing this, I was easily able to change the few colors I didn't like and save the theme. I have been using it like this for a few days now, until today I alt+tabbed to Firefox and the theme had been disabled, with a message saying it could not be verified for use and has been disabled. Does anyone know how to fix this, and to keep it from happening in the future? If it helps I am using Manjaro Linux, and the theme was Nord Polar Dark.

EDIT: Turns out the problem was in the "digital signing" of the theme, and when I changed the theme, that signature was no longer valid. If you are using Developer Edition, Nightly, or the Extended Support Release, you can stop this by changing xpinstall.signatures.required to "false" in your about:config. Be warned though, as this means any add-on can now be installed, regardless of whether Mozilla has verified its security.

I only have two Add-ons, Ad Block and Facebook Container. Neither is working as of today, 12/20/21. If I click them they don't display information or options. Attaching a screen shot of what Ad Block looks like when you click it. Three colored bars, no functional buttons. If I click the Facebook Container icon it just opens an empty white square.

They are enabled, they worked fine yesterday, and I haven't changed anything. I tried deleting and re-adding the Ad Block. I tried a different Ad Blocker. Nothing works, as if Add-Ons are now forbidden.
