I-Firefox Community Forum

Hi everyone, I am using a MacBook Air M3 with 8GB of RAM. Due to my workflow, I heavily utilize multiple windows simultaneously across both Brave and Firefox. Unfortunately, this heavy usage has caused my CPU and RAM demand to go through the roof.After doing some research, I was advised to switch back to Safari as my default browser to conserve system resources, and to use other browsers only as secondary tools.

To make this transition work, I need to prevent Firefox from automatically launching every time I start up my laptop. I do not want Firefox to open until I explicitly choose to launch it myself. I have searched through every conceivable setting, option menu, and help file, but I cannot find a solution to this basic issue. If I cannot find a way to stop this auto-start behavior, I will be forced to uninstall Firefox altogether, which I would prefer to avoid.How can I definitively stop Firefox from opening automatically on system boot?

Thank you for your help.

Where is the "New Window" option in file menu of the 152.0.5 version of Firefox? why is there no 'New Window option" in file menu of the 152.0.5 version of Firefox? There is only one option, "New Private Window." If this is the new version of Firefox and I have been a fan and consumer for over 20 years, I am going to use Safari.

how can i restore control of my device? I keep receiving this: "someone else, like a parent or administrator, controls settings on the network, browser or device that you’re using", but it is my device and I am a 41 year old adult.

When I select a line of text, normally it would get deleted/overwritten when typing a new line of text, but when I select text in Firefox and begin typing again, it simply deletes the first word in the selection and keeps the rest. Is there a setting to have ALL text selected deleted/overwritten when new text is entered? Selecting one word overwrites the whole word but when an entire line to be deleted is selected, only the first word is deleted and typing begins where that word ends.

I've tried everything. Nothing seems to work.

The new Profiles menu option will not go away. I have no use for it, will never use it and I accidentally select it since they stuck it right next to bookmarks. Pretty poor decision.

If there is not way to remove it then after 30 years I will be dropping Firefox.

Hello, please, how do I add a "Share Tab" Button to the Firefox Menu? I'm using Version 149 on my iMac (late 2013, running V. 10.15.8). I'd so appreciate your help with this? Thanks in advance, Eliahu

I am happy Firefox released a way to change system shortcuts in the most recent version. But a shortcut I've wanted to change for awhile was not present.

Cmd+K (Jump to OmniBar)

Is there anyway to change this shortcut? If so, how?
