I-Firefox Isithangami Sokwesekwa

Hello Mozilla community!

yesterday I installed a program which installed adware (I overlooked a little checkbox). It also changed a couple of settings in my standard browser (Firefox) like the search engine etc. It also changed the homepage. I always had the homepage pointing to my YouTube feed. I changed it back to it using the about:preferences#home method. Under "Homepage and new windows" I set the homepage to my custom URL and the home button works perfectly fine. Yet when I open a new window (with ctrl+n, not a new tab!) it also displays my home page (YouTube). It has never done that before and I cannot find anything in the settings to change that. I tried looking in about:config with browser.newtab but didn't find anything that seemed related to my problem. A couple of weeks ago I tried Firefox Nightly and I started it up and the homepage worked fine AND it didn't display it in a new window. It only did this after it synchronized the data with my Firefox account. Now my question is: How can I remove the the Homepage from a new window (and replace it with an empty page or the Firefox Home)? Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

p.s. I attached the Troubleshooting Information and I'm using Linux

When I record screencasts, I don't want people to see what extensions I'm using. For one, it's distracting, for second, it's a privacy issue.

In chrome (iron, opera...) I can quickly drag and resize the extensions area so nothing is seen. Fast an easy.

Is there a way to do this in Firefox. I am open to extensions or keyboard shortcuts as well!

(Pinning to overflow menu is not a solution. It takes many clicks and a long time.)

Thank you for any help.

marionette.enabled is set to "False" but the browser still has the obnoxious orange address bar with the robot head providing the message Browser is under remote control. I did nothing to turn on this feature, and I want it off. Help!

I use Firefox 82.0.2 (64-Bit) on Windows 10 and Foxit Reader 10.0.1.35811 for reading PDF files. In the FF settings I set the handling of PDF documents to "Open with Foxit Reader 10.0". Once I have done that and click on a PDF file I will be asked what to do with the PDF and I confirm again to open it with Foxit.

That usually works for the moment but FF will always forget this setting again. I have configured FF to use Foxit at least five times over the last days days. But the next day FF will just download the PDF file again and do nothing with it (not even ask me what to do with it).

Any help is much appreciated.

how to increase and keep toolbar/bookmarks fonts sizes. I accessed the font sizes thru about:config. Then devp. Then layout.css.devPixelsPerPx. They keep reverting to the tiniest of fonts upon exit of browser.

As the subject stated, I'm desiring to achieve the result that I can run some webpage with the window containing only the page itself (without toolbar, address bar, etc.). The --kiosk command line option is almost what I need but it will enter the fullscreen mode whatsoever. For instance, chromium has the --app option which is exactly what I want it to be. Thanks in advance!

When I edit in MediaWiki and Substack, Firefox corrects
to <be>. It drives me INSANE. I can't see any option to autocorrect, or any way of fixing it. What is causing this? Chrome doesn't do it. I don't see any other auto-correct happening.

I have been trying to edit a preexisting theme from mozilla store by using this link. I was wondering whether there was a way to make a section other than the top header an image, because in the colors bit I can only add rgb or css color string.

Here is the code just in case: {

 "manifest_version": 2,
 "version": "1.0",
 "name": "Animated Kimi no Na wa",
 "theme": {
   "images": {
     "additional_backgrounds": [
       "images/your_name-cropped.gif"
     ]
   },
   "properties": {
     "additional_backgrounds_alignment": [
       "center center"
     ],
     "additional_backgrounds_tiling": [
       "repeat"
     ]
   },
   "colors": {
     "toolbar": "rgba(31, 34, 61, 0.24)",
     "toolbar_text": "rgb(180, 201, 240)",
     "frame": "rgb(8, 11, 33)",
     "tab_background_text": "rgb(255,255,255)",
     "toolbar_field": "rgba(54, 58, 89, 0.69)",
     "toolbar_field_text": "rgb(255, 255, 255)",
     "tab_line": "rgb(205, 35, 185)",
     "popup": "rgb(31, 34, 61)",
     "popup_text": "rgb(215, 226, 239)",
     "popup_highlight": "rgb(205, 35, 185)",
     "popup_highlight_text": "rgb(180, 201, 240)",
     "tab_loading": "rgb(205, 35, 185)",
     "ntp_background": "rgb(42,42,46)"
   }
 }

}

I want to change my bookmark toolbar size it is currently 3 times the size I want it to be with my new curved monitor. It is perfect if I switch back to a non curved monitor. But I don't want to run 2 - 27" monitors anymore and just want this 1 37" monitor but everything in Firefox is twice as big on this new monitor.

My Trend Password Manager stopped working in Firefox on windows 10. It works fine on Microsoft Edge also on windows 10. It also works fine on my android phone. I have contacted Trend and went through all of the delete and download and add the extension in FireFox, but it still will not work. Is there something going on with Firefox?

My boyfriend needs a font adjuster for the tabs and URL bar. No current add-on (including Theme Font & Colour Changer) is up to date with the new system, and I need to know how to make things bigger for him.

Does anyone know if I can move the default location of the notification window in Firefox? Current it displays in the top right corner of my screen and right above another window that I need to always see. See image. Thanks.

I used to be able to move the topics up or down the page to soot my liking,, like edit,, move the post up or down the page,,, now I only get , customizations coming soon??? what happen?

how do I keep my search preferences from changing every time I open Firefox? I prefer to use google as my main search engine and I have set it to this in my preferences thru the option menu. However every time I quit and then reopen Firefox my search engine reverts to yahoo? Why Yahoo? and why does this happen and how do I stop it?

Just after the most recent FF update I noticed , from time-to-time, that when I print FF is using the FF printer mode instead of the default Adobe Acrobat printer mode. It doesn't happen all the time, but it happens. My options screen still shows Adobe as the default printer mode. So, I don't understand why this is happening. I look forward to anyone's comments. Thanks

Hello

I followed the instructions to "Reset download actions for all file types" from here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/cant-download-or-save-files#w_reset-download-actions-for-all-file-types. I accidentally renamed the profile folder instead of the json file.

unsurprisingly, i now get the "firefox profile cannot be loaded" message and cannot open firefox.

I uninstalled and reinstalled firefox to no success.

In an attempt to correct this error (that is, to change the renamed folder back to its original name), i tried to follow these instructions: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-where-firefox-stores-user-data#w_finding-your-profile-without-opening-firefox

Under "how do i find my profile?" it reads "Click the Finder icon in the dock. On the menu bar, click the Go menu, hold down the option or alt key and select Library. A window will open containing your Library folder." Well, using the Go tab, there is no Library folder. but I managed to find the folder anyways. but when i do find the folder Library > Application Support, there is no Firefox folder in there!

Please advise how it is that I can find this folder and rename it

THanks

I have DarkReader installed and enabled on all pages and it works on every website I visit, yet it does nothing for support.mozilla.org.
