For the last week every time i open firefox developer edition or a new instance of it the plus button for creating a new tab is moved to the far left of the tabs bar when it normally should be to the right of the latest tab, in the customize menu when i move it it gets moved to the right of the list tabs button when normally it should be to the left of the list tabs button, the plus still appears next to the right of the farthest tab when out of customize mode but when i open a new instance of firefox developer edition it does that again.

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.

After an update, Firefox messed up my toolbar configuration. After resetting everything back to normal, just one thing doesn't want to stay where it's placed: the "new tab" button a.k.a. the "plus sign". I want the button to be to the right of my open tabs (screenshot no. 2) but after closing and opening Firefox again, the button simply jumps back to the left (screenshot no. 1). So I go to (Right Click) > "Customize Toolbar..." > (Drag the button to the right) and it works, only until I restart Firefox again. Is there anything I can do to make my changes stable?

(One more thing: there is this "List All Tabs" button, which can't be removed, how could I remove it?)

Firefox Version: Developer Edition; 132.0b3 (64-bit); aurora update channel

Hi there

How do I move the bookmarks toolbar to the TOP of the window (ie above the tabs row) please? I cannot find any info on this.

Thanks

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.

how do i permanently disable the tab preview on hover? after every update i have to go back in and reset it to 'false'... it's totally annoying and a hindrance to productivity due to the distraction... any help with this would be most welcome, thanks in advance -

HI,

For many years I have used Firefox as my browser, and I have also used the Bank of America online banking service. Until yesterday, there were no problems with this pairing.

Yesterday, I was able to log on to my B of A account, but I ran into trouble when I attempted to go from their home page to their bill paying service. I was unable to continue and received this message:

"Why can't I access Bill Pay? You might have cookies blocked or cross-site tracking prevented. Depending on what browser you're using, check your settings for these terms. *Block third party cookies. *Cookie tracking. *Cross-site tracking. Make sure cookies are not blocked and cross-site tracking in enabled. Follow any additional instructions in your browser once you have adjusted these settings."

I have been able to verify that a Firefox update was successfully installed on October 3, 2024 at 12:48:08 PM. The update numbers are 131.0 (20240923135042).

Because of the timing, I suspect that this latest update somehow impacted my Bank of America online account.

I do not know how to proceed to accomplish the required modifications that would enable me to continue using all of the features on my B of A account.

Can you help?

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

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!

I recently reloaded my M1 MacBook Air with macOS Sequoia. Ever since doing so, Firefox opens the right-click menu every time I press Control+Return (like when attempting to autocomplete a URL ending in .com, a feature I use quite frequently). It is only in Firefox that this happens, no other browser or program is doing this. I have uninstalled Firefox using AppCleaner, downloaded a new copy of Firefox 131.0 and reinstalled without any change in this behavior. Any ideas on what I can do to stop this so Control+Return only autocompletes a URL again?

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!

I have customized Linux mint and set Firefox to open and load set my html file and when it opens it loads the file but it only displays text with white background. The original background disappeared. But when I manually open it works fine .
