I-Firefox Isithangami Sokwesekwa

For me, running 101.0 on Windows 11, Firefox disregards the selected theme and shows web pages in black no matter what I do (except for these support pages, oddly). Sometimes it renders as black text on a black background, making it impossible to use. My windows theme is "Light", my Firefox theme is "Light". I CAN select ALWAYS to override every web page with a light background and dark text, but obviously that interferes with the design of most web pages. This problem has persisted for months. I have read the suggestions about changing UI settings in about:config and none of them work. As much as I love Firefox and Mozilla, there are many web pages rendered unusable by this problem, and I am about ready to throw in the towel and start using Chrome.

How do you make sure the tab name is the same as the filename in Firefox?

It actually is some other property of the PDF document such as Title, which is metadata inside the file.

Hello, i am looking for a way to permanently remove pocket suggestions that involve anything lgbtq+ what ever the + means lol. And anything liberal,i was looking for a more conservative home page when i downloaded firefox and its nothing like i thought. And getting rid of the bs liberal anti-gun crap would be nice also. Thanks.

Can I please know the command to activate the swipe left gesture to go back in a site, please?? Right now it is set to- Browser:BackOrBackDuplicate.

It would be genuinenly helpful if you could tell me the command to activate the back and forward gestures.

Regards, Labeeb.

I currently have this add-on installed. It allows you to you highlight certain text, then right click and open up a link to Wiktionary in another tab. Up until a few minutes ago, this menu item was at the very top of the list (i.e. above "undo" and all the rest), but now it's been moved down with all the other add-ons. Image for further clarity.

The add-on hasn't been updated in 6 years, so it's certainly not that. I don't recall doing anything to make it change, but before this, it had been at the top of the menu ever since I added it maybe 2 years ago. Is there any potential way to restore this functionality? The fact that it appeared at the very top of the menu might have been a bug, but if that's the case, it was certainly a convenient one.

Anyway, I'll be looking forward to hearing from you fine folks in this community.

Some time within the last day, an extension I use to turn direct image link pages white has stopped working. For context, I use the dark theme provided default by Firefox. I need it for almost all other pages. But when it comes to viewing images, almost all are intended to be viewed on a white background so up till now I used the extension "Image Background Color Picker" to force the page to be white. I never had an issue with this until today.

The extension is still functioning, I can see the lines of code its running on the page using inspect element. It has a feature that creates a checkered background instead of a flat color, which does also work if I turn that on. What I realized is that it seems like suddenly Firefox is using a flat .png as a background image for seemingly no reason? If it worked this way before, it did not interfere with extensions until now. When I disable this through the inspect feature the background underneath is white like intended. This is consistent even if I disable all relevant Add-ons. I've attached image examples of this, with no Add-Ons that should be effecting the page running.

How can I get this to go away? Is there a way to go into Firefox's config and disable it through there? I don't want to have to keep installing more and more Add-ons seeing as Firefox can barely handle the ones I do run. I'm unable to use an ad-blocker to block it because they can't detect the .png on their own, presumably because its a Firefox asset instead of a webpage element? I have no clue. I just want to fix this. I can't use the light theme due to eye strain so for now I'm stuck disabling this .png manually every time I open an image.

Currently using 101.0 (64 bit) on Windows 10.

It's quite annoying to try to type a capital F using Shift F but end up with developer mode.

I tried in privacy mode and this still occcurs, so I think it's not something my add-ons do.

Is there any way to disable this feature?

In Settings/Applications, have "JNLP file" set to "Use Java(TM) Web Launcher (default)". This is used in Oracle's Agile to view documents. In previous versions of Firefox when selected, the file would open using Java to display the document from Agile. As of Firefox 97, now only "Save File" or "Cancel" options are offered. What happened that this functionality has been removed?

How do I get info about an installed extension or add on? Clicking runs it. Right click will pin it or remove it. It is for a screen shot and there are pages of them. Which one do I have?

Upgrading my Linux install to a current version, and in so doing, discovered newer versions of both Firefox and Thunderbird totally disregard title bars and other window decorations. As I run Fluxbox, those are kinda necessary, and the browser and email client both lack essential elements like a close button without them. Many, MANY suggestions to check the "Customize..." but, that doesn't seem to exist in 101? What exists instead is "Customize Toolbar...", which does not have the little checkbox in the lower left corner to re-enable the title bar.

Any suggestions?

Hello. I just closed by accident my main window so I restored it, but it apparently lost all the container data and restored all non-pinned tabs to the default container.

Is it normal, is it a bug or is it a yet-to-be feature?

It feels like a bug because pinned tabs (which were not present/open in the secondary window that stayed open when I accidentally closed the main one) where duly opened in their respective containers.

I have started using Pocket, as a way to share between my tablet and my laptop. I now have my new tab page on my laptop set to show recommended articles from Pocket.

Is there a way to increase the frequency whereby these recommended links are updated?

I'm using and old operating system on my computer, and the latest version of Firefox seems to overtax my graphics card, even with the most mundane websites and functions. So, I had to downgrade versions to the one just previous to today's update to even get here. However, it makes you create a new profile instead of using an existing one. Is there some way to get around this?

well, most ad provider let you customize your ad preference I can allow virtual realitity devices ads and "turn off" android apps or food delivery apps however, they will completely ignore those settings if they can't show me an ad for my prefered topics specifically, I live in a very backwater rural town, I've paid a good sum to ship my VR equipment from another state, so it would be nice to see some games I can buy from their store, but of course, because I live in a backwater town and they don't sell vr equipment nearby, they will attempt to show an ad for something I can but locally, and you guessed it, they show me ads for ifood and uber eats, despite me telling them to not show me ads for android apps or food delivery I don't mind the ads per say, but between a major annoyance and no annoyance at all, the choice is obvious and no, I don't want white-list websites on ublock, if I could, I would left all websites show ads, if they were actually interesting to me instead of random junk I can find on the app store

After the last update, when I read my local paper online, Firefox will not advance to the next page when I reach the bottom of the page. I have to manually click on the next page arrow. Two other browsers will still advance so I'm thinking it must be a Firefox issue. Please help
