Firefox Community Forum

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.

so i need that "ctrl+shift+o" hotkey for my amd adrenaline. i tried googling on how to turn off/change hotkeys for firefox but i couldnt find anything that helps me find this hotkey setting.

How can I disable COMPLETELY the tab previews a/when I hover over a tab, and b/ when moving tabs (using left click and hold)? I've tried the various options listed in other questions on the support forum: nglayout.enable_drag_image = false browser.tabs.hoverPreview.enabled = false browser.tabs.hoverPreview.showThumbnails = false

Along with unticking "Show tab previews in the Windows taskbar" in settings.

None of these works to completely disable the previews.

Is my only option to reinstall an older version of Firefox... again?

Firefox 133.0b6 (64-bit) Windows 10 Pro

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.

I'm trying to insert a Microsoft 10 word document into a on line web document using insert function. When the computer displays what should be file explorer in is being overlayed by firefox upload which showes old data. Can some one please help me! frogbadhairday@gmail.com Thanks Perry

Bonjour, Depuis une récente mise à jour de de Thunderbird, lorsque je me connecte (au lancement de windows puisque Thunderbird est ensuite actif tout le temps) on est inondé de notifications. J'explique : - auparavant, si l'on avait 3 comptes mail, Thunderbird téléchargeait les mails reçus pendant la non activité et l'on était notifié 3 fois, une fois pour chaque compte, peu importe le nombre de messages reçus sur chaque compte - Maintenant, on reçoit autant de notifications que de messages reçu, ce qui est très long et peur durer très longtemps si vous n'avez pas été connecté pendant plusieurs jours.

Y a-t-il un paramètre qui puisse permettre de revenir à la pratique précédente, car c'est insupportable.

Ensuite, durant la journée, ce n'est pas un problème de recevoir une notification chaque fois qu'arrive un message. Merci pour vos conseils et tant mieux s'il y a une correction au cas ou ça ne correspondrait à aucune necessité. Cordialement Dominique

Instructions for adding lines to the bookmarks toolbar are too complex. We need to be able to grab the bottom of the toolbar and drag it down to add lines. How about it, Mozilla?

Hello,

In summary, I am a total beginner and just need help making the right-click menu appear properly on sites and such like it used to before I screwed up some random setting.

If that's not doable, then could I get some help to try and see if I can restore a backup of older FireFox settings that predate my messing up the settings or something?

Basically, I was exploring various settings in-browser in FireFox and at some point somehow changed something that suddenly prevented the right-click menu from appearing when I right-click on anything.

I also was changing things in the settings of an extension called "Sideberry" that I use to organize tabs, so whatever I changed that is stopping me from right-clicking properly might be in that extension's settings rather than in the normal browser settings; I am not sure.

I tried changing "Use native context menu" (in Sideberry settings) from off to on and vice-versa, but turning it to be on just prevents me from seeing the extension-specific right-click menu when I right-click in Sideberry. It doesn't make the normal browser right-click menu that you get when right-clicking websites themselves come back.

Thank you very very much in advance! I hope you have a wonderful day.

I'm setting up a cloud-init to make it easier to deploy Linux workstations. I want to display the various links to my sites on my Firefox browser. Bookmark my services. Do you think this is possible? I've already applied a rule to retrieve certificates, but it seems complicated for bookmarks.

Here's an extract  :

{

 "policies": {
   "Bookmarks": [
     {
       "Title": "Main",
       "URL": "https://service.net",
       "Folder": "Bookmarks Toolbar"
     },
     {
       "Title": "Service 1",
       "URL": "https://service1.net",
       "Folder": "Bookmarks Toolbar"
     },
     {
       "Title": "Service 2",
       "URL": "https://service2.net",
       "Folder": "Bookmarks Toolbar"
     },
     {
       "Title": "Documentation",
       "URL": "https://docs.net",
       "Folder": "Bookmarks Toolbar"
     }
   ]
 }

}

Dear Mozilla Support Team,

I’m experiencing an unusual issue with mouse sensitivity in Firefox. When I open Firefox, my mouse sensitivity or DPI seems to drop significantly, making it difficult to navigate. However, when I close Firefox, my mouse sensitivity returns to its normal level. This issue does not occur in other browsers like Microsoft Edge or Opera, where the DPI remains stable, suggesting the problem is specific to Firefox and not related to my laptop or system settings.

I’ve tried troubleshooting on my end, but the issue persists. Could you please advise on any specific settings or configurations in Firefox that could be causing this DPI sensitivity drop? If this can’t be resolved, I may need to consider uninstalling Firefox and switching to a different browser for a smoother experience.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I appreciate any assistance you can provide.

Setting for "Download" FORCE duplicate saving of ALL downloads. I have tried every setting combo possible AND set 'ASK" for ALL files but NO MATTER what FOLDER I chose to download a file to it ALWAYS saves a DUPLICATE in my DOWNLOAD folder. In settings it is IMPOSSIBLE to leave the "Where to Save" Field EMPTY. I download MANY FILES a day and this requires me to VERIFY 1) did the file really go to MY selected choice and the time of download and is the DUPLICATE that was FORCED to my "DOWNLOAD" folder actually go ONLY there. PLEASE FIX THIS or
