How can mouse hover be disabled? On some websites (e.g. gva.be) when you hover (unintentionally) over some link, then this link is opened as if you had clicked on it.

How can this be disabled? I searched in about:config for mouse hover but I couldn't find anything relevant. Or do I need an extension to disable this behaviour?

Subject: Clarification on Adding Username and Password to Proxy Settings

Dear Firefox Support Team,

I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out to seek clarification regarding the configuration of proxy settings in Firefox. Specifically, I would like to understand how to include a username and password along with the IP and port address when configuring a proxy server.

Currently, I can enter the IP and port address in the network settings, but I am unsure how to include authentication details, such as a username and password, for proxies that require them. Is this feature natively supported in Firefox, and if so, could you please guide me through the steps to set it up?

Thank you for your assistance, and I look forward to your response.

Best regards, Emmanuel

Why is there in about:config no reference to documentation of the displayed settings?

e.g. browser.chrome.toolbar_tips.hide_on_keydown

What is it? What is the meaning of the values? What is the default value? Why do we have to guess?

It is probably documented somewhere (I hope). Why is there no reference to it in about:config?

There is (IMHO) some missing functionality / unwanted feature or call it what you like (bug?).

History -> Manage History

select e.g. Last 7 days, right click on Name and select at least two attributes (you can choose from: Tags, Location,Most Recent Visit, Added and Last Modified)

Select the first entry of the list, all displayed fields are selected/highlighted.

Copy (either with the menu or with Ctrl-C) and paste it in your favourite text editor.

Why is only the URL copied? Other fields were also highlighted. Why are they not included?

This is WYSINWYG (what you see is not what you get).

It is possible to export bookmarks as an html file, so why is this not possible with history?

OK, it is possible to query the sqlite3 database directly to get some history info but it's a bit cumbersome.

To do so,

  copy the sqlite (places.sqlite) database to some safe place then open the database (with 'sqlite3 places.sqlite')
  get the history info you are interested in with a sqlite query,
  e.g. select title,visit_count,site_name,url,description,last_visit_date from moz_places where url like '%support%';

But there is no simple (AFAIK) way to convert 'last_visit_date' (an integer) to something human readable.

So either include the whole selection when something is copied (WYSIWYG) or provide export history as an html file.

ps: why is there on option 'other' in the list of 'topics' ? pps: I already posted this comment but it got lost somehow

how to permit

?

This address uses a network port which is normally used for purposes other than Web browsing. Firefox has canceled the request for your protection.

I am having trouble setting up Two-step authentication.

After I scan the QR code and enter the code, I am presented with below error: Incorrect two-step authentication code

I first tried scanning the QR code using Microsoft Authenticator app, which did not work. I then tried scanning a new QR codeGoogle Authenticator app, which did not work. I then tried to manually enter the secret key into Google Authenticator app, which also did not work. I then tried scanning another new QR code with the Twilio Authy Authenticator app, which also did not work.

Can anyone help to resolve?

Thanks

I see the new AI chatbox feature buried within Firefox Labs. Is there not a way through a policies.json to disable that feature if it's unwanted? If there isn't, when would that be added (and hopefully before this feature becomes live in a future release)?

I am not going to embellish on the confusion that I am experiencing right now. Because I really don't know how to explain it completely. But I use Firefox and Google. And I have a Gmail and a proton mail accounts and have changed my passwords so many times I couldn't possibly remember. But I am only trying to simplify the complications I have caused over the years in my own digital world.

when we set the default zoom some percentage e.g. 80% in settings> the zoom level of the toolbar/ addons/ extensions is not set to 80% also there is no option to set the zoom for particular sections such as zoom for the system toolbar, pages, side menu, address bar. The main issue is when the default is decreased> the zoom in the addons/ extensions remains still at 100% which pop-ups on the screen and the addons/ extensions settings cannot be accessed due to zoom in on the panel (it happens when scaling of the windows in set to high percentage such as 130%) so the Firefox zooms in at 130% by default (considering it as 100% in firefox)> and decreasing zoom to 80% (to get 100% zoom from 130% in firefox) so it doesn't work> u understand> what is the solution tell quickly. I have tried to set the compatibility Troubleshoot and override the system Scaling in Program settings. It also doesn't work. Tell me the solution soon.

bold text I am using Eprisa Saturn. We have a client who's name is MJ, with no spaces and no periods and both capital letters. No matter what I do, I cannot get the computer to print it as MJ. It always prints it as Mj. If I put a space, it prints correctly, but the client is insistent that there be no space. She mentioned that there might be a way to override this. Can anyone help?

I was working on my computer when I accidentally clicked out of my tab that had all my pinned windows on it. But then I accidentally started a new tab and deleted it. So now when I try to restore previous session it goes to the tab I just deleted and not the one with all my pins. Is there a way I can get all my pinned tabs back?

For about 2 weeks now, the audio volume on youtube videos fluctuates up and down. The volume starts off low when a person starts to talk. For example, when the person in the video starts to talk, their voice volume is very low then within a second or two, the volume rises to normal as they talk. When they finish a sentence and start a new one (when there is a short pause in the audio) their voice is again at a very low volume, rising to normal in a second or two. This repeats as they speak throughout the entire video. This is not specific to any youtube video or youtube channel, it happens on all youtube videos. I have tried updating all audio drivers in Windows 11 - no improvement. I have tried rebooting the computer - no improvement Firefox is up to date, version 133.0 I have tried watching the same videos using Chrome and I do not have this problem.

I have been using Firefox as my default browser and Kaspersky Antivirus for many years. I was forced to switch to a different antivirus when the US denied Kaspersky from selling in the US because it was Russian. I decided to go with Bitdefender Plus. Since then every several times I open Firefox I receive the below notification from Bitdefender Plus I receive the following notification:

Feature: Online Threat Prevention

Can I get rid of this without losing my shortcuts and histories?
