When I installed Firefox, I struggled to find a theme that was easy for me to see. So many had dark borders/backgrounds or busy backgrounds or transparent. It appears that I'm using the default at present and am happy with everything but the visibility of those little icons. Is there is a way to make them darker? Thanks

I just setup this firefox extension to help me manage my 800+ tabs - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/simple-tab-groups/ . This might have even been causing Firefox to crash and my computer to restart, but I'll save that for a separate issue. The extension has some suggested shortcut keys, particularly Ctrl + Backtick and Ctrl + Shift + Backtick to switch between next and previous Tab groups. I tried to go to Manage Extension Shortcuts in settings, and tried to specify the keys Ctr + Backtick, but the input box would not accept the key. In fact it only seems to accept Ctrl + <alpha-numeric> key. or Ctrl + Alt + <alphanum>

Is there anyway to enable this? Most keys like Ctrl + alphabets appears to be already mapped by firefox's default mappings. my Ctrl + numbers are also similarly mapped by another tab extension to switch tabs.

Thanks, arun

I have recently migrated to Firefox from Chrome.

I cannot paste images (screenshots) directly into my Outlook emails.

I can insert a picture file but this is way less convenient than taking a screenshot via the Snipping Tool and pasting directly into my emails.

I cannot find any setting or configuration that would enable this functionality.

This functionality sure worked in that other browser.

After I upgraded my system (NixOS) from 23.05 to 24.11, both Firefox and Thunderbird experience a 30 second delay between doing right click and the context menu appearing.

After clicking on a menu option, there is another 30 second delay before the menu disappears and the action is carried out.

Happens also in safe mode, and after deleting the .mozilla directory and starting from scratch.

No other GUI on the system (including non-gecko browsers) are affected.

Firefox version is 133.0.3

Image attached shows the menu that pops-up after right-clicking. It's so long it doesn't fit on the page and has its own scroll-wheel within itself.

No options or help were found in the settings or on forums.

With normal mice, when you scroll you typically scoll in steps which you feel as the mouse wheel feedback.

The issue here is with high resolution scroll wheels, whether that is a knob or a "frictionless" mouse wheel like on higher end logitech mice.

What happens: You slowly rotate the scroll wheel while nothing is happens in firefox, then you get to a certain point and firefox scolls one step, then you continue to slowly rotate the wheel, and eventually firefox scrolls another step.

What should happen: It continuously scolls as you rotate the wheel. This works in chromium browsers and other chromium based apps like discord, steam, etc, it also works in kde settings app, dolphin, okular, etc. But not firefox. It even works in terminal.

Both firefox and thunderbird are like this.

Is there a way to get this working or is it simply not supported in firefox? If so then feature request: get high res scoll wheels to work

Note: This is also an accessibility issue as those of us with limited or impaired motor control can be inordinately affected in a way that limits our use of Firefox or makes it virtually impossible to use in any use-case more complex than browsing YouTube.

Issue: There are certain, pre-defined, keyboard shortcuts within Firefox whose action is both immediate and irrevocable. Those of us who have limited, or impaired, motor control are particularly susceptible to this, though I have heard anecdotal evidence that other - unimpaired - users suffer from this as well.

Example: There is a particular key combination that I periodically, (accidentally), hit while typing that immediately and irrevocably clears the dialog that I am entering text into - as I am doing here - with no possibility of recovery and no warning that a potentially disastrous action is about to take place.

My specific case, (that is, the most recent instance of my specific case), occurred last night while composing a reply to a topic within the Microsoft Flight Simulator forum addressing a particular, and popular, issue with the sim.

I spent a significant amount of time creating this message - setting paragraph formatting, creating tables, inserting images, carefully crafting the text and such like, that had taken me upwards of an hour to prepare.

While typing - I managed to inadvertently hit a magical "Nuke-and-Destroy" key combination that caused all my lengthy, careful, painstakingly crafted work to immediately vanish with no chance of recovery.

To this very day I still have no idea what combination of keys does this - and if I knew, I would try to suppress it at the keyboard/system level so that Firefox never sees it.

When I searched for a solution to this problem, I found the following article on this site: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/que.../1364260]

In essence, (though it was worded much more politely), the answer was that Mozilla knows about the issue of potentially undesirable "magic" key combinations, has no plans to address it, and if you don't like it it just vacuums being you.

Though this particular key combination might be useful in certain cases, (though I cannot imagine what use-case would benefit from accidentally destroying hours of work), the utterly irrevocable nature of the action - and the absolute lack of any warning whatsoever - makes this a classic case in the annals of horrid user interface design; to the point of being a functional bug even though it works as designed.

A more desirable action would be to:

  1. Allow it to be disabled entirely, along with the other potentially annoying/disastrous keyboard shortcuts.
  2. Provide a (default) action that warns the user that this action is both immediate and irrevocable and allowing the (default) option to abort the action. Extra credit: Allow the user to permanently disable the offending feature from the dialog.
  3. In the unlikely event that a particular user might wish to use this regularly and deliberately, allow the user to bypass the warnings and permanently enable the feature - with the caveat that it vacuums being them if they do something wrong - not unlike the disclaimer when accessing about:config.

I would suggest that this action, and the action of other "magic" keys/key-combinations within Firefox represents a significant burden to those of us who may already be struggling to use a keyboard. Perpetuating this class of issue, especially since it's a known issue and there's no desire whatsoever to accommodate those of us negatively affected by it, borders on both arrogance and ableism.

I would like to humbly place this request at the feet of whomever is responsible for this atrocious policy and earnestly request they reverse this unpleasant and destructive behavior.

Respectfully submitted: Jim Harris.

That shortcut operates as expected on other sites, opening the Find pop-up at the bottom of the browser. It's not working within Sheets to search a spreadsheet or at the browser-level when on a Sheets tab.

Any idea why that one shortcut isn't working?

I have a Microsoft Surface Pro 8 with a Slim Pen 2. I do a lot of searching in google maps and have noticed that I can access google maps and can use pinch to decrease and expand the maps and if I open a street view I can use touch to move the field view around as it should be. The problem occurs is when I use my slim pen. Once I have used the slim pen to move a field or open a street view the touch capability stops working. I can still close the window and other things with the touch capability (system type functions), but within the browser it's disabled.

I have not noticed this occurring in any other web site or type. For example I can go to amazon and interchangeably use the pen and touch capability without issue.

I have tested this in Google Chrome and MS Edge and it does not disable the touch capability when I use the pen.

Back in the days it was always possible to change Proxy port number (or, I believe, any other numeric value) by moving the mouse scrolling wheel when the cursor is placed inside the related field. I don't know whose intelligent decision it was to disable this functionality, but it has gone since the last update (v130.0). Now the window scrolls regardless of the cursor position. It looks like it works fine, but for those who are used to this kind of functionality, it turns out to be inconvenient.

Please, roll this back before it's too late :) Thank you.

Why Firefox lacks having right click option (context menu) for multiple search engines like Chrome (Chromium browsers) and Edge has somewhat "Chrome-like omnibar in Mozilla Firefox"?

If I am using a certain search engine as default but don't use it all the time or want to use another without changing the default search engine or want to search a term or sentence via any search engine, then Firefox has no such option or addons (yes, checked thoroughly for latter).

Opera has from day one, Vivaldi also has it, Chrome allows it via extensions, Edge does via addons, Brave as chrome does via addons, Naver Whale (South Korean browser, underrated, seriously) has options to put more than 1 search engine for search results.

Adding images below for reference.

Why Firefox is seriously so old and outdated and nowhere close to standards of 2024 and 2025?

Somebody made a post 10 years ago around 2014 🤯🤯🤯 and Firefox, as usual went their way as they are doing now.
