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!

Kindly Jay

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.

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.

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!

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.

firefox profile cannot be loaded...With a twist!

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
