Question: What setting will allow mimimalized Firefox windows to visibly appear on my Macbook dock?

I have spent hours trying to figure out why all of my minimalized windows (with multiple tabs) seem to disappear into my Firefox icon instead of being visible on my Mac dock as they have for decades.

Running the latest Sequoia 15.1 and latest Firefox 132.02, in the last couple weeks, when I click the yellow "minimalize" button on the top left of my Firefox window, they disappear and are inaccessible. If I press Control + Tab, I can see the windows, but can not access them. I've tried endless attempts to correct this in my Mac system settings and in Firefox settings with no luck! Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

I currently use Firefox on Windows with a policies.json located in "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\distribution" to ensure some required settings like a proxy server or SSO-portal as home page are in place, so users unable to read a documentation can still use the system. Now I need a browser without proxy for some applications. Currently I use a portable FF, but that's twice the work for updates. While I could just add another profile to the system FF and add a Icon, it still would use the global policies, as such locking me from changing certain values.

Is there any command line argument to ignore policies for this one session, specify another one or change the policy-file to ignore certain profile names?

I would like to be able to see a history list of ALL pages AS VISITED. For example, I will go to search engine and enter say "mozilla". I will click on an item that comes up, then back to the search. Click on another item in the search page, then back to the search, etc, etc. However the "history" in firefox does not list the visits back to the search engine, why not?? How can I get a complete history list of sites as visited? I need this so I can get back to the search where I was last when I visit one of those annoying sites such as "https://inacal.isolutions.iso.org/obp/ui#!iso:std:iso:8124:-1:ed-5:v1:en" which somehow blocks the back button. Actually that is another question, how can we stop sites from disabling the back button?

I used Firefox almost since its inception. But I stopped using it when one of my games on Facebook kept asking to upgrade flash player in order to play. I know that flash player is no more and the problem likely lies with the game but I can play the game on every other browser without that message so finally I stopped using Firefox. Is there a setting I can use so that I can go back to my favorite browser and play my game with it also?

Hi, I have problem with sound in Firefox, there is no sound. I even tried looking in Windows settings but in volume mixer there is no Firefox. I can't listen to anything. I tried to listen something not only on youtube but also other social media and other sites. All drivers aare updated. Do you have any ideas what's wrong and how i can fix it?

A few weeks ago I noticed that my bookmarks have started changing the order that I list them. In the past the bookmarks always stayed in the exact order I put them. Now everyday, they change. It drives me crazy! How do I stop that?

In my windows Firefox 'roaming folder I have a Firefox profile. Within that folder I have a Profile folder which looks similar to it's parent folder.

Can anyone explain or is this an error?

the spacing when i click the search bar and the suggestions show up is waaay too big. it just randomly happened and i don't have a userChrome.css file. does anyone know how to fix this problem?

Are there any settings in Win.10 that prevents me from enabling DNS over HTTPS in FF settings? It says my browser is managed by my organization. I checked about:config, dns over https = true, & security.enterprise_roots.enabled = true FF Connection settings = Auto-detect proxy settings. Thanks

I like to keep my bookmarks on the left side of the page. About a week or so ago I did a refresh on my FF due to another issue. So, after that was done I went through and looked at my settings and made the changes to get back to my previous choices. Now when I sign onto FF it opens up to a blank page, which I chose it to do, but my bookmarks are not on the left side. I have to click on my tool bar to put them there and also adjust the width of the size. Before I did the refresh the bookmarks would remain on the start page unless I had closed them before I signed off. I signed on using my wife's profile and the bookmarks remain on the start up "blank" page like they've always done. I did notice on her settings page that the option to always check to make sure FF was the default browser was "not" checked. I went back to my profile settings and the same box "was" checked for the FF default checking but it's shadowed out and I can't change it. I do have my "old" profile data saved if needed. How do I fix this issue where my bookmarks on the left side of the start up page "stays" that way when I close out and the next time I sign on they are still there?

How do I prevent Firefox (which isn't even active) from activating and opening a tab when I use Windows Explorer to double-click-to-open a .DOC file? This is new behavior. How do I disable it. I don't want any application to access (even addresses) of an object I reference unless I specifically ask it to. When I activate Windows Explorer - I don't expect (or want) Firefox throwing up tab panels with the address in it.

Hi,

I have to make it short now because I clicked on the link in this text:

"Troubleshooting Information (optional): We can't automatically get your browser's troubleshooting data, please try these manual steps."

It opened in the same tab and my whole long text was gone. :( Don't know if it's my settings fault or you should change something there, at least a warning would be good.

The uploaded image is strangely still there.

Normally I use an App like Notes where everything is saved imidiately while writing and copy it over because things like that happened many times. But I forget to do it often.

I like testing new features and giving feedback about bugs, also I am always running the latest macOS Developer Beta on my Mac and use Nightly as my main browser most of the time. But I am still using 1Password 6 for several reasons.

It seems (I noticed it only today) the update to version 134 made my already officially unsupported 1Password extension unusable.

I am using the one that you only see if you activated the checkbox for showing betas on this website but that version doesn’t make a difference. Just to explain why it’s labeled beta in my screenshot, it’s not one of the new betas.

https://app-updates.agilebits.com/product_history/OPX4

So now, I can’t even download the file with a right click from there, to install it again.

I am sure I will find it somewhere in my backups but I fear that doesn’t help.

Did anything change regarding the handling of Extensions in version 134?

Is it possible to reactivate it somehow? Maybe somewhere in about:config?

I would be really happy for your help.

And another question:

Is there a way to install Nightlies for iOS too? I only have the TestFlight beta there.

I already have an Alpha version of an app on one of my iPhones. The developer needed a UDID or so for that.

Before everyone used TestFlight I could also install pre-release versions like Proton Mail or the Readdle apps by installing a profile.

And now there are even more ways for EU located devices.

Now the text got even longer, than the original one. Sorry for that. ;) But I don’t read it again for correcting typos.

Kind regards, Julie

Hello community,

I couldn't find any information in google regarding my issue. I'm Polish and I'm using polish keyboard layout so when pressing ALT and a letter i get polish signs: ąłźć etc. But sometimes, only in firefox, CTRL starts to behaving strange, I can't use any shortcuts (CTRL+T, CTRL+C, CTRL+A etc) because CTRL starts to working like ALT and I get polish letters instead of selecting all text. ALT is still working like intended.

I don't know what triggers this and what makes it go away (it's not permament). When I started typing this it started to working correctly but it will return in some time. Im using 132.0 on Windows 11.

In my attempt to better organize my BOOKMARKS, having regained access following a PC compromise, I now no longer have the BOOKMARKS I so much would like to organize as I want. How can I now again gain access to and improve upon a 5 day old set of BOOKMARKS?

Please provide STEP by STEP instructions to regain access to the now 5 day old set of BOOKMARKS and any helpful info related to this task.
