After updating to Firefox 108, it's no longer possible to use gesture extensions on new tabs set to open "Blank page" here: Tools > Settings > Home > New Windows and Tabs > New tabs: "Blank page".

However, when manually browsing to about:blank the page still allows gestures. E.g. to close the tab, or navigate away from it.

Viewing the page source of the "Blank page", Firefox 108 does not actually open about:blank when set to "Blank page" but instead opens about:newtab.

Either about:newtab used to allow extensions to run and no longer does, or the behavior has changed so that it now opens about:newtab instead of about:blank when setting Firefox to open new tabs in "Blank page".

This breaks work flows of using a gesture to open a new tab and gestures to navigate away from it or close it.

Hi, When you click "settings" in notifications, in the privacy and security settings, a new window opens instead of a tab, so this setting has no URL of its own. In Chromium-based browsers they have the URL "*browser name*://settings/content/notifications", so I could add this URL to bookmarks and access it quickly. Is there any way to do something similar in Firefox? Thanks

I checked the box in privacy settings to "Block new requests asking to allow notifications". But I am constantly asked by multiple web sites if I will allow them to send me notifications. I despise the very idea of push notifications and will never use them or allow them. If this option in settings does not work, then why is it there? Is there a way to make the browser impervious to push notification requests?

I have received information that i have been included in a breach in 2016. Is this something that I need to be concerned with? And also, how can i be involved in a breach of a website that I have never logged into or have not visited?

I no longer have access to the email address where you keep sending my verification code to, so that i can finalize my logging in and get access to my account, So, how to fix this please?

Every time I want to reload this file to change or debug something, I have to close all my browers windows at once, reopen FireFox, and restore my previous session just to save my tabs. It's growing so exhausting that it's making me want to switch browsers. Is there any way around this?

Hello,

I have a really high RAM usage with Firefox.

What is intriguing, is, from the "about:performance" tab I totalize 6.02 GiB of RAM. And from the System Monitor, 14.59 GiB (+242.4%).

I suspect a memory leak.

When you're in a fullscreen tab, like a youtube video, and use the command for a new tab (ctrl + t) you are not directly in the address-bar in that new tab.

If you're in a non-fullscreen tab and use the command, then you are directly in the address-bar.

This is inconsistent and annoying. If you are watching an English youtube video and you come across a word you don't know, and you press "ctrl + t" to get to a new tab, you're not in the address-bar to type something like "meaning word".

Is this a bug? Is this an intended feature? How do I fix this? Is there a setting for this in about:config?

Hello all,

There are a number of threads on this topic asking how to sync Shortcuts from one device to another. It appears that across the board the answer is that you cannot do this (see: this, this, this, this, or this to identify just a few).

It does appear to be the case that you can copy `browser.newtabpage.pinned` from `about:config` but this cannot be transferred to iPadOS, iOS, or easily shared between Android and macOS. It also does not update long term.

There have also been requests for this feature to be added (see this) though a lot of content around this topic appears to be confused as to what to call it and is notated within other recommendations.

I am wondering if anyone from the Mozilla/Firefox team can speak as to why this setting is not available, and what would be needed to see it become possible to sync shortcuts (and ```especially``` pinned shortcuts) within Firefox Sync.

Thank you!

Hi! I greatly appreciate your support! Since the upgrade to 108.0.1 Firefox for Windows 10, I cannot send my tweets in Twitter because when my photo pops in, it covers up the Tweet button. I was able to send it on 12/29, last Thursday. I noticed it stopped working around 5 days ago. I need to be able to scroll down to see the tweet button. I cannot send my tweets. I never had this problem before and I've been doing it the same way for years. People using different browsers are able to send my tweet using the scroll bar as normal. There is a lengthy work around where I put the mouse on the top of the tweet and use the mouse wheel. It takes me to the tweet button avoiding using the scroll bar. I would have to do this for 250 people. It's not very practical. I am a volunteer for National Wildlife Federation. Please help! Thank you so much! - ToSt

Back when I used Chrome, there used to be an option when you could right-click a word and get an option in the context menu to "look up". In Firefox this doesn't seem to be the case. Is there a way to enable this? For those of you who don't know what feature I'm talking about, here's Apple's write up: https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/look-up-words-mchl3983326c/10.14/mac/10.14

I've also included screenshots of the feature working in Chrome.

Hi everyone

I can no longer drag a bookmark to a folder and insert it where I need to in the folder, which previously was very useful.

Now when I drag a bookmark and try to insert it where I need to it defaults to inserting it as the first / top bookmark in the folder. Which means I have to drag it a second time to its desired position.

Please could anyone advise about how to get the functionality back.

Thanks in advance !

I inadvertently switch from the Classic AOL Mail page to their new one but do not know how to switch back. I would very much appreciate any how-to response be in a language that a technologically challenged senior citizen would understand (lol). Thank you.
