How do I get rid of the Tabs Manager? I never use functions like that and it just showed up after the last update on my computer. The articles I found about removing it via the about:config page don't work and I really, really, REALLY want it gone.

Greeting. List all tabs button appears after last update and I can't remove it from toolbar. Is there any options to do it? Set browser.tabs.tabmanager.enabled to false didn't help

When i browse any web site then it sometime show me different language. in my case here you see some different language but it properly English language. so you assist me how to solve this problem.

How can I remove monitor, relay, mozilla vpn from the Account drop down menu. See attached example.

The ONLY reason anyone goes further down this menu is to get to the other tabs on other devices. These things, on especially my super small laptop screen, only get in the way.

Any way to stop showing these in this menu?

I really appreciate your time and help. I understand Mozilla's want to promote these, but come on, get this crap out of the way.

If you add a proxy (manual) to firefox, you can also put in exemption for which domains the proxy should not be used. And from the examples that are shown, you might think it is also possible to add ip-address-range like 192.168.1.0/24. But this does not really work. Even when your servers are in the network 192.168.1.0/24, the proxy still we be used. It is only working if you add your domain e.g. .mydomain.local.

When using google workspace apps (docs, slides, sheets, etc.) I am unable to use the menus to cut, copy, and paste. Instead, I am forced to use the key binds, which are super annoying and less convenient than opening a menu and pasting quickly with my mouse. Past articles from Reddit and one on the support site claim that having "dom.event.clipboardevents.enabled" set to true makes it work, but it does nothing and I still cannot paste using the menus.

So I'm trying to apply a configuration profile in Microsoft Intune that enforces managed policies for Firefox. I have 40 different OMA-URI settings configured for it, 39 of which apply and report as "Succeeded". I can verify that these are working on a test device.

The problematic setting that is not applying to the test device is "ManagedBookmarks". It is reporting with an Error.

Here is the setting for the particular policy:

• Name: ManagedBookmarks
• Description: Adds bookmarks into a managed folder.
• OMA-URI: ./Device/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/Firefox~Policy~firefox/ManagedBookmarks
• Data type: String
• Value:

<enabled/> <data id="JSON" value=' [

 {
   "toplevel_name": "Bookmark Folder"
 },
 {
   "url": "https://www.ticketsoftware.com",
   "name": "Ticketing"
 },
 {
   "url": "https://www.paymentsoftware.com",
   "name": "Payment"
 },
 {
   "url": "https://portal.office.com",
   "name": "Microsoft Office"
 }

]'/>

I have anonymized a couple of the above bookmarks for privacy. I will note, I have also tried to nest the bookmark items as child items under the toplevel_name (with the correct JSON formatting of course). This also failed to deploy the policy.

Am I missing something here? I am trying to follow the documentation at https://github.com/mozilla/policy-templates/blob/v6.3/docs/index.md#managedbookmarks to a T, but it still fails. Everything else works though!

Hi community,

I want to configure a guest account on a ubuntu system. This is done by configuring a standard account and link the guest account to the standard account.

For firefox that means, that the .mozilla directory of the guest account points to the .mozilla-directory of the standard account. (The files in the standard account are not changes, so every new guest session starts with the same preconfigured environment.)

When starting firefox in the guest session, most of the settings, e.g. homepage, installed language packs, coockie settings, are recognized. Strange enough, the language packs have to be enabled again. Somehow firefox in the guest session realizes that firefox is run the first time in the newly created guest account. In my use case, firefox starts up in English because the German language pack is disabled. In the configured standard account the language packs are enabled, active, etc..

With thunderbird the behaviour is different: Copying the .thunderbird (or appdata/roaming/thunderbird-folder in Windows) leads to a completely configured thunderbird. No "first run"-questions or -settings have to be answered.

My questions are: 1) How does firefox realize that is has a "first run" situation? Why is copying the .mozilla-folder not enough for transfering the profile(s)? How can firefox be configured to use the existing .mozilla-directory without asking first run questions? 2) How can firefox in a first run situation (with complete profiles and correct profile.ini) be started with e.g. an enabled German language pack.

Thanks a lot

Martin

Hello, I have a question in earlier versions after pressing the enter key in an empty search window the browser automatically went to the google page. Now there is no way to turn it on

Hello,

I recently switched from Google Chrome to Firefox, and I’m having trouble with how PDFs are handled. When I click on a link for a PDF, I see the PDF symbol indicating it can be opened or downloaded based on my preferences. However, I want PDFs to download directly without opening when I click a download button, similar to Chrome’s default behavior.

In Chrome, if I click a link to view a PDF, it opens in the browser. But if I click a download button, it downloads without opening. I’d like to achieve the same in Firefox: view PDFs when I click a link but download them directly when I click a download button.

Thank you for your help!

Hi! I move the new tab button to be on the right of the last tab, which works fine. Until I restart firefox, and then it's back on the left.

I tried removing the profiles in App data and letting Firefox create a new one and it did not solve the issue.

Thank you in advance!
