Firefox Community Forum

Hi,

i have set my home page to blank. Recently i noticed, that when i start firefox and visit a site, my arrow history (i don't know what it's actually called; the linear browsing history you navigate using those arrows) has the blank page as first entry. I don't want that first entry. How can i get rid of it? (And why is it called "chrome://browser/content/blanktab.html"?) When i open a site in a new tab, i don't have that blank page entry in the arrow history. So it seems like it must be possible to get rid of it.

Same problem with private browsing. The first page is always "about:privatebrowsing".

I'm using Firefox version 108.0 on Linux Mint.

It's only a small annoyance, but i really appreciate being less annoyed.

Thanks

How can I make the cursor default to the google search box instead of the address bar in new tabs? As mentioned, disabling address bar searching through about:config did not fix this issue. Thank you.

I lost my tabs again today at start-up. I went to history & did "Open All In Tabs" for about 200 tabs...most of the important ones did not come back. I can't be doing this on a regular basis. You've spoiled me with the tabs staying on the browser every day. But, even though I've used Mozilla for years, I may have to find something else I can trust! This is twice now...I can't spend this kind of time trying to recover things (many of which I can't get to).

Hello,

Kindly I want to know if Mozilla Firefox support Drag and Drop Functionality?

Actually, I'm trying to Drag and Drop a photos from outlook application to web using Firefox but it doesn't working!

I just want to know if this functionality supported by Firefox or not ? and if YES, how can I troubleshoot this issue.

Thank you.

Hello guys,

I started having a weird problem a few months ago. Since I was overwhelmed with work and travels in the past months I just found a quick workaround by using Chrome, but I'm much more used to Firefox than Chrome I'd like to solve this issue once and for all.

So I'm getting 99% of my work on Fiverr. I'm averaging between 20 and 40 orders per month meaning that I need to upload all sorts of files everyday. Whenever I click the 'attach' button, doesn't matter whether in the message section or in the delivery section my entire browser freezes. Even if I waited for some time (I've tried up to 60 minutes), it wouldn't unfreeze. Same in private window, same if I disable all addons. I even refreshed Firefox, but the problem persists.

In Chrome or Edge the problem doesn't exist. Neither does it on my mobile device. Not sure how to troubleshoot that.

Any ideas?

Thank you!

Why does Mozilla need to acess all files? Can we disable this 'feature'?

After start up Firefox I am not getting any audio. No other app nor browser has this issue. It does not show up in the volume mixer. I've made sure all apps, browser, drivers, and windows are up to date.

I keep getting this msg for my amazon acct and other accts I've used on this same laptop for years. Now all of a sudden I get this msg: Error code: PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR

Please advise how to fix this matter

Lately I cannot explore Airbnb, I get "Network error (connection): NetworkError when attempting to fetch resource.". No problem with Edge. Should I forget about Firefox?

Hi, from many time (some months ago) I have this problem: sometimes (well, actually very often, but not always) when I start firefox it runs in “Private browsing” mode.

The problem happens both if I click on the icon in the gnome dock, and if I run firefox from the terminal. In both situations, the problem happens sometimes, and some times not.

When I launch it from the terminal, the output is the same, either if I see the bug or not.

The problem has already been reported on the Fedora support site, too.

What can I do to sort it out? Thank you very much

Running Firefox 108.0.1 on Fedora 36

I have many companies and organizations that tell me that their website does not support Firefox, only Chrome and Edge. As I would like to divorce myself from Google and Microsoft as much as possible I would like to know what issues there are with supporting your browser. I am switching to Linux as my OS and Mint comes with Firefox. I understand I can get Linux versions of Chrome and Edge but that is really not my preference. Thanks.

I have been trying to remove "Your browser is being managed by your organisation" simply because the browser is on my home PC and not being managed by any organisation. However, I have an issue with registry editor as it does not have Mozilla or Firefox keys in "Policies" "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies" or "HKEY_CURRENT_USER". I would be grateful for any advice to overcome this issue as it annoyingly restricts access to web pages.

As the years go by I still love Firefox--its response speed and its many features. But it is getting to the point where almost every new order for a product I place with a new company fails because their website only works properly with Chrome. I'm not being negative here--this is my actual experience. And LastPass works better with Chrome than with Firefox, although I can't remember specifics at the moment.

I wonder if there is a specific reason for this general increase in problems, such as due to how I've customized my Firefox, or perhaps that Firefox is adhering too closely to browser standards, or something else. I don't even know if this vague but real problem is caused by me somehow, or is endemic to Firefox.

So, I'm posting this just in case someone else has encountered the same problems.

There is no particular error message to report. It's just that an increasing number of website forms are quietly failing to log me in, or to accept an order, or something similar. Just quiet failures that don't happen when I try the same thing in Chrome.

Important: I don't have ANY problems with Firefox with websites and apps that I myself have created. All Firefox languages--HTML, CSS, JavaScript--work perfectly for me.

I'd appreciate any feedback from others, as I really, really want to keep Firefox as my regular browser.

Typically I press super + some key combination to open various applications. Today, I forgot to press super and the first couple letters in "screenshot" are apparently more or less what you need to delete your firefox history.

Is this in any way recoverable? I've also used this firefox account on a windows partition, not sure if history is shared between linux and windows in this way though.

I'm using Mozilla Firefox 108.0 on popos 20.04

As an example: suppose you have 100 tabs open. Does Firefox use more memory if 50 are open in 1 window and 50 in another or if all are open in just 1 window? Does it make any difference?
