I-Firefox Community Forum

Last week I discovered that my emails (yahoo) when clicked on opened a Preview screen next to the email lists. How can the previews be removed and my emails appear across my screen instead of being crammed into a left hand column?

I have a problem with 'efficiency mode' in Windows 11. Windows 11 forcefully puts many of Firefox's tasks into efficiency mode marked by green leaves within task manager in processes tab. It doesn't seem to do this to anything else except Steam Client WebHelper. My Laptop is always in max performance mode in all possible settings as it is always plugged in (this does not influence efficiency mode). It slows down performance making things take longer to load and might even break them. If you try to enable efficiency mode on a task it even warns you of this: 'Efficiency mode will lower process priority and improve power efficiency but may cause instability for certain processes. Do you want to continue?' There is no way to permanently disable it. Currently out of 19 tasks 8 are in efficiency after I woke up my laptop from sleep (I have 5 tabs open). Only way to stop it is to manually disable each one by one (right click on each task and disable efficiency mode). But Windows 11 will turn them back on automatically usually within a few seconds (it seems to depend on opening new tabs, reloading them or waking up the PC from sleep mode). From looking it up online there seems to be a way to disable it in browser on Edge and Chrome but that might be something else (I do not use the so I'm not sure). There was a solution for Chrome but it doesn't work on Firefox.

Is there any way this can be disabled permanently through Firefox or Windows 11?

First, I am technologically illiterate, so my terminology will be imperfect. Until today, there was a second line in my Google browser that listed my favorite sites I visited daily. It was just below the Google Tab line (the very top line). That line is now gone and now I have to look up the web addresses in my bookmark thing off to the right. How can I get that favorite sites line thingy back?

In the last 48 hours I haven't been able to access the following - https://www.co-operativebank.co.uk - they do not appear to be the problem - when I try the link the 'retrying' symbol on the top left of screen (?taskbar), flashes extremely rapidly and it appears the system can't find the website. Are you aware of this issue.

Currently the built-in VPN operates via a blacklist system. Where it is turned on browser wide, with exception of sites you manually add to the blacklist where it will turn itself off when on those sites.

To preserve the allotted 50gb data limit for using the VPN, I would ideally need to turn the vpn off of every website that I don't need it to be on which is extremely tedious even if it's a one-time annoyance.

It would be better if instead(or in addition to) we had a whitelist option where we could have the VPN not be active browser wide, with exception of any site we add to the whitelist. I would much prefer this because there's only a handful of sites that I would need the VPN to be on.

When I open Firefox, all my bookmarked sites start loading at the same time. I have unchecked, the "Startup Open previous windows and tabs" option in General Settings. I also deleted, and added Firefox again, but all sites are still loading on opening Firefox. (Chrome browser is fine.) Any ideas? Thanks!

Why are you trying to chase people away, after update i had to reinstall it cause nothing functioned right, now I have to jump through hoops just to install ad Guard. It should not be this difficult to use a website. I think I will move over to chrome where they actually try to make life easier and not more difficult

When I write emails or whatsapp messages Firefox signals as false all the words that don't conform English orthography. I would like to switch language either automatically or quickly. What do I have to do?

need to export my firefox bookmarks to a cell phone but that option is not listed. Why isn't that option available, I need those bookmarks ON MY CELL PHONE

I have set the setting for PDF files to Always Ask. When I select the "Open in Firefox" option from the dialog, it opens the PDF in a new tab in Firefox and ALSO launches Adobe Acrobat and opens there. I have not seen this bizarre behavior before today. How do I fix it?

I have Firefox set to always ask about how I want to open/save PDF files. Within the past couple weeks, I've encountered an issue with opening PDF files. When I click on a PDF and select "open with Firefox," the PDF opens in a new tab on Firefox, but it also opens in Acrobat. When I select this option, I just want the PDF to open in my browser, and I cannot find a way to stop it from simultaneously opening in Acrobat.

Dlaczego w ostatnich wersjach przeglądarki brak możliwości dodania do paska adresu ikony tłumaczenia strony z innego języka ?.. W poprzednich wersjach, jeszcze nie tak dawno - była ! Podobno ma się ona pokazywać automatycznie gdy Firefox wykryje stronę w języku innym niż ustawiony jako domyślny język interfejsu i komunikatów - nie pokazuje się automatycznie, lub Firefox nie wykrywa języka w jakim wyświetla się strona. Za to - w "hamburgerze" (przycisku Ustawień w górnym prawym rogu) pojawiła się opcja "Przetłumacz stronę" - 1 kliknięcie "hamburger", 2 kliknięcie "przetłumacz stronę", 3 kliknięcie - potwierdź polecenie przetłumaczenia strony .... bez sensu !!! Zamiast jednego kliknięcia w ikonkę na pasku adresu !

Żadne to ułatwienie, czy polepszenie komfortu użytkowania przeglądarki - powinno to być poprawione natychmiast i wrócić do poprzedniej formy ikonki wyświetlanej właśnie na pasku adresu !
