I-Firefox Community Forum

I use a ThinkPadNotebook with Windows. While surfing with Firefox, in a careless moment I clicked "allow" at a notification request of a suspicious website (qltuh.check-tl-ver-116-1.com). After this a few other websites opened up rapidly and soon after notification at the bottom right corner of the screen appeared. I immediately went offline and deactivated the corresponding permission for notifications in firefox. In particular, I did not follow any link displayed on the bottom right notifications.

My question is: Did simply granting permission of notification to this webiste create a security risk on my desktop? Or can I rest assured, since I revoked the permission and in the meantime did not follow any links displayed by the notification?

Thanks for help and clarification!

Currently the taskbar icon only offers a few tasks in the context menu, such as open new tab, new window or private new window.

I understand that accessing about:config would allow me some other options, such as recently visited pages. And also allows me to remove those tasks.

I want to add the option to select which profile I open from that menu, instead of opening the default one, then selecting the correct profile in about:profiles that, in turn opens yet another window.

I tried adding a value "browser.taskbar.lists.profiles.enable" and several variations of that command. None worked.

Is there a way to add that option, so when I right-click the icon in the taskbar I can directly select the profile I want to launch?

Recently my PC has died from the hardware crash. So I've bought another PC and installed Firefox. While other browsers seem to nicely sync bookmarks and history from the previous PC, Firefox didn't do that although I have been logged into my Firefox account on both PCs and I can clearly see the other PC in devices using this account. What is the reason for that?

The following content is translated using GPT machine translation. Dear Firefox team,

I encountered a problem while using the Firefox Sync service. After registering an account with one of my email addresses, I tried to log into this account on another device, but it prompted me to register again. After following the instructions and registering, I found that both Firefox accounts are associated with the same email, but they cannot be linked together. Later, I tried using a different email address, but the same issue occurred. Finally, I attempted to log in with Google, only to discover that one of the devices does not have the option to log in with Google. I suspect this might be the reason why I cannot use Sync. The Firefox version on this device is 128.02, running on Win10.

Looking forward to your response. Wishing you a pleasant day.

my best search site is firefox used it long time started as month ago will not scan says address looks wrong or suspicious and does nothing can you help, memory cleared many times nothing helps it seems to affect google also

captive portal detection has gone crazy - suddenly is popping up almost every time i go to a new site from my home pc on a secure att network ; it even pops up when i am already logged into a site & go to a new page; if this is a "feature" - tell me how to make it go away

I have an address/search bar at the top of my screen AND one in the center of my home web page beneath the Firefox logo/brand. Currently, if I want to effect a search the Firefox web homepage uses the address bar across to top of the page. I want to set a preference/priority to using the search bar beneath the Firefox logo/brand. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I just want to bring it to your attention, that since my latest Windows 11 updates, Firefox browser has been having browsing issues.

1. Basic or multiple tabs are no longer browsing as before. Pages such as: Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, CNN, Microsoft home Page, Google, GoDaddy, and so on.

Please note: I have cleared the Cache and internet history, and this does not make any difference. The issue remains the same.

What is causing this basic browsing issue with this version of Firefox?

This has been going on for a long time - I, and others, can't copy info from some web sites - - CAN do so with Edge.

Followed the instructions on google to fix but does not fix. And, yes, the box in my settings is checked.

Tks - jb

Pressing Alt in Firefox in Linux (Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Linux Mint 22.xx) brings up a top menu, which is hugely annoying as I'm always trying to to a window action if I'm pressing Alt.

The suggested solution is to go to about:config and change ui.key.menuAccessKeyFocuses to "false".

But this keeps reverting itself. (Between every other reboot?). Alt will again bring up this menu.

How can I permanently disable this shortcut?

Hello I am constantly switching between Bookmarks and Tree Style Tab in the sidebar. The toolbar button "Show sidebars" is fine for switching between sidebar displayed or not, but switching between Bookmarks and Tree Style Tab is not so convenient : i have to go through the small menu and select either Bookmarks or Tree Style Tab, which is two clicks and a mouse move away, boring when you are constantly switching... Is there a way to add a second toolbar button to do this switching (or have two buttons, one for Bookmarks and one for Tree Style Tabs) ? Hope someone has a solution, thanks in advance. Alain Coste

Firefox is not sending any of the device details so unable to use Firefox with conditional access.

Details like "Managed" and "Join type" would be needed to be able to process it correctly.

Does Firefox support it? If not will it ever be supported or will we have to go back to Edge just so we can sign into Azure sites?

Hello community, I'm a lifelong Google Chrome user just now transferring to Mozilla Firefox and I was wondering if it's possible to tab-to-search with, for example, youtube? Here is an example of a person doing the exact same thing I'm trying to achieve. Thank you!

Since the past 2 days whenever I try to upload a document on any website my FireFox crashes and stops responding. Upon Further investigation it turns out this is only happening on the Downloads folder. I havent changed anything in my computer. No new software, No windows updates. It just randomly stopped working last night .
