You haven't provided an off switch for this "thumbnail preview image of the webpage" on my taskbar? I don't want anything dropping down from my task bar on hovering over it.

This is a new thing, that Firefox for some reason thought was a good idea. Mouse hovering on my taskbar, and have a drop down thumbnail preview image of the webpage?


Thank you all in advance...  :)

Why can I not choose a home page image anymore? I just confronted with a glaring white page that gives me a headache. Are you all mentally retarded? More and more is being cut away from Firefox. You really offer no point of difference anymore. Sad to say.

While using Linux I noticed that I Walmart's Captcha would display correctly. I cleared recent history and cookies and it still occurred. The problem was Cache. I cleared the cache but it did not work. I had to manually remove the cache located in /home/directory/.cache/mozilla/firefox. I eve closed FF and reopened but still the same.

How can I completely clear the cache in firefox? Shouldn't FF completely clear cache after be closed ?

I have a laptop that has just had a new hard drive installed and I am re-setting everything back up. According to my passwords on a different laptop, I tried to sign into Firefox on the new hard drive, but I am receiving the "Primary account email required for sign-in" error. I have browsed this site, and using a private browsing window only yielded the same error. I can not seem to get my bookmarks back or get into sync.

Other ideas?

Sessionstore.jsonlz4 does not contain the current tabs, so where are they? After losing all of my tabs I copied the sessionstore-backups. They were quite large. Obviously they must contain my lost tabs. But now the current sessionstore.jsonlz4 has the very same large size. However, the lost tabs do not show up when Firefox is launched! And yet the few tabs – I’ve tried one, two, and three – that were open when Firefox is closed do show up. And the large size of each “new” sessionstore.jsonlz4 does not change at all! BTW I have tried inserting each one of the backups and nothing changes. The current tab or tabs shows up, but not the lost tabs. What is going on?

I have a fairly large number of tabs I keep open in the latest desktop version of Firefox on Windows 10. I regularly scroll along those tabs and lose my place, although the current page remains open. How do I get the tab bar to scroll back to show the active tab for the current page?

I know I can open a tab drop down list and search for it, but I do have a lot of tabs listed and it takes a bit of searching to find the tab I'm looking for. I'm hoping that there's a key press solution to this. I have already tried the ctrl+tab, but that takes me to the page prior to the page I currently have open.
