I-Firefox Community Forum

I posted this and was told it was ;posted, but then I got a not found error when I tried to view it, so I'm trying again.

I set a site to use firefox as the default app for ftp not realizing ftp support was removed from the browser. I have been trying to get the dialog back that will allow me to change it. I downloaded filezilla to use for ftp. However, I am unable to get the dialog back that will allow me to change apps.

Can someone help me get the dialog back? And, before anyone suggests it, resetting firerfox to the default settings is not an option.

For a while now firefox has been unable to enter fullscreen when pressing F11. Instead all it does is move the "Scroll forwards", "Open a new tab", and "List all tabs" button over slightly (The buttons on the top right, next to the minimize and close buttons).

I don't know what's going on with firefox.

Firefox Version 142.0.1 (64-bit)

Is there a button I push or a feature I enable to make sure that I'm opted-out of any future updates that include AI 'features'? Or should I switch to Vivaldi now and save time?

Please return my Computer to using Firefox default as my browser as it was 2/01 /2026.Ive tried several times to do this w/o success . I was using windows 11 and have been trying to get rid of MS365 which I never used but have been charged for a solution , but have been blocked and refused cancellation after they asked me to change my email address and PW . Insanely confusing !

WHY IS IT SO HARD TO JUST MAKE FOXFIRE MY BROWSER LIKE I HAVE HAD UNTIL SOMETHING WENT WRONG A FEW DAYS AGO AND I GOT UP AND COULD NOT GET IN TO MY MICROSOFT ACCOUNT. IT REFUSED TO ACCEPT MY PIN I HAVE USED FOR MANY MANY YEARS . I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED. THANKS.

Hello, I'd like your help. I'd like to disable some unnecessary options from the Firefox right-click menu. 1. Open link in new tab 2. Open link in new container tab 3. Open link in new private window 4. Save link as 5. Copy link I don't need these five options, so I'd like to disable them if possible.

(srry if wrong topic) basicly when i use the customize firefox tab it tells me about the overflow menu but when i try to add BUILT-IN tools like zoom control it just, not, and also the overflow icon apears gray'ed out,

if someone can help me with this then pls reply to this, ill come back to this post like a week later

Dear Folks at Firefox, Mozilla

In last few days I really have a big problem with trying to browse with my favorite browser Firefox. It is that cursor always goes to address bar instead of search bar when I am trying to surf the web. I tried all the fixes that I found online with changing things in about:config still with no solution.

I am running on Windos 11 and using latest Firefox version.

Kind regards Aljosha Mileta

Mozilla currently allows a user to select an AI Chatbot to use in the updated sidebar. The choices are limited to Anthropic Claude, ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Le Chat Mistral and Microsoft Copilot. When will Mozilla add Grok to this list of choices?

The keyboard shortcut to take screenshots [Ctrl + Shift + S] used to work a few weeks ago but it has stopped working for quite a while now. Doesn't work on any site, I can only create screenshots by right clicking and pressing the button manually.

I read online that Firefox is planning on implementing AI features. Given the track record of AI in other browsers leaking private information, bogging down connectivity, and generally being a nuisance towards users, I was wondering if there will be opt out features in future updates? Or know of forum threads that will update with tutorials on how to turn off AI features?

If not, does anyone on this forum have recommendations for no-ai browsers?

Firefox is the default browser and pinned to the taskbar. When clicked, Firefox automatically opens places an additional icon in the taskbar. Once Firefox opens, in the second icon, any new links open in tabs, which is my preference.

The first image is the pinned icon in the taskbar. When hovering it only displays Firefox. The second image is the additional icon, when hovering over this icon the active page thumbnail is displayed.

Prior versions of Firefox did not have this behavior on my Windows 11 desktop PC. I've tried various settings in about:config but cannot resolve this issue. Is there some reason two icons are now required in the taskbar when running Firefox?

I opened Firefox today to find that nothing would show up, at first I tried clicking on the icon on the taskbar, but it just made the icon bounce with the window briefly popping into view. That's when I realized that Firefox was completely offscreen and unusable.

For context, last night, I had 3 windows open, two were regular sessions, the last one was a private session I had open on a temporary second monitor that I unplugged afterward. My dad lended it to me, so I'd rather not ask him again unless I absolutely have to. I closed them in order making sure to close the default window last thinking that Firefox would open there next time I launch it, but comes tomorrow and when I launch Firefox it opens off-screen and I can't interact with the window at all.

There also seems to be no way to bring it back directly to my screen on this garbage OS everyone calls "windows 11" according to their help forum: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/4139775/app-runs-off-screen-in-windows-11?page=2#answers

So, I'm commenting here via brave browser, first to report a bug because I don't think Firefox should remember the last position of a private window of all things, but also because I don't know where else to go to ask that question since windows 11 itself cannot seem to have an option to solve this problem either. I know the position is stored in the profile folder, so what should I edit in there to get Firefox back where it should be? No, I will not delete/reset it it has a ton of search engines and settings that Firefox won't sync.

There is a 'feature' in Firefox that I think is called "click and hold context menu". Basically if you left click on something and hold the click for a second or two a menu appears that offers an AI generated list of suggestions related to the thing you were clicking on. How do I disable this? In searching I have found suggestions to open about:config and set the value for ui.click_hold_context_menus to false, which I have done a few weeks ago now and it has no affect. I also tried changing the related value of ui.click_hold_context_menus.delay to an insanely long time, but that also had no effect.

I would appreciate some guidance on how to turn this off. This is problematic enough that I may have to switch to another browser if this can't be disabled. Thanks! Attached is a random example of one of these context menu's that appears when clicking and holding on a link.

How do I change the email account inserted by Firefox when I click on an email link?

I have previously changed the main email address (added secondary address, swapped secondary for primary, deleted secondary) but when I click an email link in a web page to write an email to the web page business, the old deleted email account is used instead of the new one. This old address is not listed at all as far as I have seen in my Mozilla Account.

Hi,

I use the Page Info window quite regularly, it used to be accessible via the right-click menu but this seems to have been removed in recent updates. I can still access it via Ctrl+I, but this isn't as convenient as using the menu.

Could you please tell me how I can put this useful feature onto the menu / toolbar as a shortcut?

Thanks

Owen.
