Firefox --kiosk Mode on Linux Not Opening in Display's Native Resolution

I'm using Firefox for signage throughout multiple different displays of varying resolutions. I'm launching firefox through the cli with the command `firefox --kiosk {file}` and it seems as though Firefox will not open landscape (1080p) files in full screen. I regularly get the browser opening in smaller formats than they actually are and a dark gray border around the file; with one exception: A portrait graphic in the proper full resolution opens fullscreen correctly.

I've tried looking through the preferences and can't find any place that would cause `--kiosk` to open in any size other than full screen. This seems to be an issue with any link or graphic that's not portrait, on a portrait screen.

I've also tried different applications (ffmpeg, vlc, etc) and they have no issues adapting to the full resolution of the screen in either landscape or portrait mode, which leads me to believe this is a Firefox issue. The devices are reporting back the proper resolution and orientation of the screens as well.

The only work-around I've found is to use a Pass-Through EDID on my 1080p screens, but that's not ideal as I'd rather not introduce more potential points of failure to this system.

For reference I've attached pictures. 1. The picture with the QR code should take up ~50% of the diagonal screen real-estate. 2. The picture with the all-black graphic and gray border should just be all-black and fill the screen from top to bottom. 3. The picture of the portrait graphic is correct and what I would expect the all-black graphic to look like as well. 4. The picture of the "Groups" graphic with gray border shouldn't have the border and should fill the whole screen. This is also the screen that I attached the 1080p EDID Emulator to that has since been working correctly.

I wanted to create shortcuts on my new tab page.

I deleted the sponsor shortcuts one by one and now the three dot button disappeared. No matter what I try, I cannot figure out how to add shortcuts to the new tab page.

Could you help me? Do I need to reinstall Firefox?

Tab bar and Toolbar in one single bar

Hello everyone,

I'm really hoping to achieve a streamlined interface in Firefox without the clutter of two separate bars.

Here’s what I’m looking for: I want the tab bar and toolbar combined into a single bar, similar to Safari on Mac. Specifically:

   The forward and backward arrows should be positioned to the left of the tabs.
   The search bar should be smaller and also located to the left of the tabs.
   The application menu button and extensions button should be moved to the top right corner (on the same bar as the tabs).
   I want to completely remove the separate toolbar, as it takes up unnecessary space.

I’ve attached an image for clarity.

I'm currently using Firefox 132 64-bit on an Intel Mac running macOS Catalina.

I’ve already tried the Neptune theme from this link: Neptune Firefox. The creator is amazing, and the theme is exactly what I need to keep me using Firefox exclusively. However, despite following the instructions carefully, I still only see the layout shown in my attached image. I can't seem to get everything into one bar.

I don’t have experience with coding CSS, and I currently lack the time to learn it. I’m unsure if the Neptune theme should be selectable in the themes menu, but it doesn’t appear there. However, I know this design is possible. I’ve searched various forums and read many threads, but none have provided a solution to my problem.

I would greatly appreciate any assistance in achieving the design shown in the attached image. Whether it’s through a theme, custom CSS code, a plugin, or any other method, I’m open to suggestions as long as it works. Thank you!

Il y a 2 semaines je travaillais comme d'habitude sous Firefox et faisais appel à des services Google, tels Photos et GMail et d'autres . SANS PROBLEME J'ai renouvelé mon abonnement a AVAST et en ai profité pour exécuter certaines options de nettoyage qu'Avast me proposait. J'ai été surpris quelques jours plus tard de ne pas pouvoir accéder à Google Photos : j'avais les emplacements et commentaires mais pas les photos !

Puis j'ai remarqué que Gmail n'acceptait pas des screenshots

En cherchant l'aide, j'ai supprimé tous les Cookies de Firefox

Depuis lors, que ce soit pour n'importe quel service de Google, autre que RECHERCHE, MAPS, Youtube et Chrome j'obtiens un écran de rejet de GOOGLE quand il est demandé par Firefox. Toujours la même réponse , comme dans le fichier joint

Si je n'arrive plus a travailler avec Firefox que j'ai toujours utilisé, il faudra que je passe à un autre navigateur C'est dommage et contrariant

Hello,

I have a self-made JavaScript-HTML-Calendar on my local file system. I use JavaScript to change the dom, for example to mark a day in the calender as "holiday" or "work". When I use the "Save as" function of Firefox, Firefox does not save the new version of the dom anymore, it does not overwrite the HTML-file on the disc. It worked fine until mid october 2024, but it seems a recent update changed something.

It still works with other browsers, it is only Firefox i have this problem with.

Does somebody know which setting may have been changed causing this problem?

Thanks in advance

I take a lot of screenshots using Firefox's built in screenshot tool to share with my friends. After a while it slows down my Photos folder and I move them elsewhere. However, I cannot move, delete, or even rename any of the 18 photos shown in the photo below. They are all from Twitter/X, but this error does not apply to every screenshot from Twitter - I was able to move or delete most of them. However, it is ONLY happening with photos from Twitter. They are not Read Only so I don't know what the issue is. I'm not having this issue with Windows Snip tool, only Firefox Screenshots.

I am attempting to configure the "Simple Tab Groups" extension (having failed to get any help working with the more complicated Sideberry). Following instructions in firefox's "How to use Containers" article: viz: Enable Firefox containers

 " Click the menu button  and select Settings.
   In the General panel, scroll down to the Tabs section.
   Make sure the box next to Enable Container Tabs is checked. "

The "enable Container Tabs" is at the end of the list and is paler type with the box appearing checked; clicking it does not change it. Does that mean it is already self-enabled so that I cannot click it ? This might seem a stupid question but, I am only trying to follow directions! (Now you see why, without directions, I couldn't set up Sideberry. GitHub people wouldn't even answer my questions. I'm not a coder.

Thanks
