I-Firefox Community Forum

There seems to be no rhyme or reason as to what Firefox keeps in the address bar drop-down, sometimes websites I visited once for a specific reason will stay there for literal months, and websites I go to often don't show up at all, or vanish after a few days (during which I will be actively clicking on them, no less).

I know it's probably a bit weird, but I actually like keeping several specific websites in the drop-down menu, it makes it easy to navigate to them without cluttering my bookmarks (any more than they already are). How do I keep specific websites in the address bar's drop down?

On previous releases of Firefox, when I added the "Open file" button to the toolbar I could click on it and a file browser would open to select a file to load. Now in Firefox 152.0, I was able to add the button to the toolbar, but it is disabled (greyed out) and does nothing when I click on it.

The Ctrl-O keyboard combination works, but I much prefer to use the toolbar button.

how can i restore control of my device? I keep receiving this: "someone else, like a parent or administrator, controls settings on the network, browser or device that you’re using", but it is my device and I am a 41 year old adult.

Dear Firefox Community,

I don't want to follow football. I don't want to see world time. I don't want to download Firefox for mobile. I don't want to change my home screen background. I don't want any new widgets automatically enabled.

Kindly tell me if there are any setting/options/flags (including in about:config ) to avoid any new popups about all those very useful features for as long as possible.

When I simply hit my control button on my keyboard, it zooms out. and if I HOLD CTRL, it zooms ALL THE WAY TO...20% no other button is hit. just control. yes I tried unplugging it. CTRL-0 will bring it back to 100% but as soon as I hit CTRL again it does it zooms out again. chrome has no issue with this so I know its Firefox issue. simple google searches are no help. Any ideas?

It appears that popup windows are blocked, stopping this SCORM package from playing. Please check your browser settings before trying again. Guidance on how to do this can be found here.

This is preventing me from accessing learning in my IRC Kaya course under integrity. Kindly help me in setting to enable popup of learning contents for my accessibility

Hi. Now that the 'Open Link in Split View' has annoyingly replaced the spot previously held by 'Open Link in New Window' i keep clicking on it accidentally (muscle memory).

I don't want to have to retrain my muscle memory, but despite creating css file generated by Claude that should in theory remove the option, and putting it the Profile Folder, it will not go away.

How do i remove it?

I REALLY don't want to see prompts like this ... when FF upgrades to a newer release. I postponed clicking on adding this application since I really didn't know what it as going to do, or how to remove it once done. The little 'i' in the red circle did nothing. So - I finally clicked on it to make it go away. Not hat I call a very seamless upgrade.

Hi,

Version 152.0.1 running on Windows 11 Desktop (25H2 Build 36200.8655) on high end PC (Ryzen 9 7950X3D, 64GB RAM, RTX 4090) has a harder to use interface using Privacy and Settings. Previous versions allowed one screen access to clearing the browser cache of Cookies and setting the Customised Tracking Protection. Now I have to delete the browser cache then click on Advanced Settings, then Customise Tracking Protection so two more Clicks (menu Selections) to do what used to be available on the first screen after clicking/selecting Privacy and Security.

I can use the mouse side buttons to revert (Cherry device) screen forwards and backwards but it is still two extra actions. Used to do quite a bit of Beta testing for FastCad (Mike Riddle Evolution Computing) and this was often designed to keep any action only 2 levels deep. I also denested the (drop down) menus to get rid of the 'flyout menus' items in a drop down to simplify access. One of the better interfaces of any CAD program ever designed. Better than Rhino (which I use) with it's 1200 command icons to remember...even though that is far from the worst. Icons harder to rememeber than text btw.

To this day there are many programs that do not allow this denesting or those that put choices way down a string of menu picks. I find this approach very hard to decipher and not at all intuitive. Some like Creo from PTC are really difficult. Please revert the 'improvement' to the prior state so both clearing the cache and setting the level of Tracking Protection can be done from one screen. I use this several times a day to keep the chance of any unwanted software finding it's way into the box to a minimum.

I hope this is constructive criticism for what is a great product. Thanks all at Mozilla for their hard work and helping us users keep safe on the Web.

Hi,Sorry to post this again,But I have spent over 4 hours trying every thing I can to correct it Since the last update,It totally Changed all my settings I managed to correct them,all BUT one & even though I have tried & Tried,I cannot remove SEARCH BAR on Toolbar Menu I have Been Through all Firefox Settings But Nothing Works & I have even removed all extensions,but NOTHING WORKS It was never on it before until the Update & it is a total Nuisance plesaea assist Thank you Darryl

I open the sidebar, search for something, and then minimize it. When I focus back on the page and return to the sidebar again, my last query is gone and a new page screen appears. I want to continue from where I left off, just like in Opera. This also causes issues in other applications. For example, when we add WhatsApp to the sidebar and open it, we have to wait for WhatsApp to reload every single time. Without these features, there is no point in using the sidebar.

Due to muscle menu or not needing to think about it. Split should either be near the bottom of the context menu or you should be able to toggle it in settings. The amount of times I have gone to click a link to open in a new window only to split the view is driving me crazy.

Firefox 151.0.1 64 bit for Arch Linux I am trying to create a desktop app from a website - the ai is saying if there is no + sign in the url box then try More Tools -> Create Shortcut but there is no Create shortcut there. So how to create a desktop app from a website?

I am still waiting for you to remove Show All in config:editor. It was unnecessary and unwanted by your users. Just allow us to access config:editor the way we used to before this moronic change.
