Several commands do not have corresponding keybindings. In particular, the ones I'm interested in are "Go one word to the left/right" as shown in the attached image.

Is there a reason why these are left out? Firefox is the only program on MacOS, that I have encountered, where it is impossible to have the caret skip words forward/backwards.

I can use Karabiner-Elements to fix whatever weirdness might exist, but not if Firefox has no way to actually trigger that command, nor a way to rebind keys in order to do so either.

Maybe I've missed something obvious.

PS: Writing this was annoying, exactly for the reason explained. The weird thing is that CTRL+backspace is the only "make key X operate on a whole word instead of a single character" that actually works. For example, "backspace" removes a single character in text edit fields. "ctrl+backspace" would remove the whole word.

PPS: I don't care too much if the modifier key is CTRL or CMD. I can rebind that. I just need it to either be *something*, or that one can set it to *something.

I am trying to understand how password less authentication with a FIDO2 security token works in Firefox over BLE transport.

Firefox uses authenticator-rs as Webauthn library which only supports USB-HID transport.

I am able to use a BLE security token to login to my google account however. How does that work if Firefox does not support that transport protocol?

Any help or direction to documentation on this topic is appreciated. So far I was not able to find an explanation for this online.

when i open a file, it shows as: file:///home/jian/Downloads/v12-0001-Remove-dependence-on-integer-wrapping.patch

I only need copy "/home/jian/Downloads/v12-0001-Remove-dependence-on-integer-wrapping.patch" is there a simple way to when the position is in address bar, I only copy the absolute filename.

i need copy filename many times. hope there is a simple way.

I use the system theme, and have for a while - but suddenly things are Real Bad

I've taken a screenshot of the main window and a write-window side by side

System Theme:

Light Theme:

Dark Theme:

As you can hopefully see, the Dark Theme is the only one that doesn't look absolutely terrible - but why is there no contrast color on the light- and system-themes? For the system theme I guess you could blame the system theme but the light theme? What's happening there?

Hello, Is there any way to redirect firefox browser configuration (password tabs) to a specific location? I have chrome and Edge browser done this way, the configuration saves to the “profile.pb” file. It works great and without any problems,. Is there something similar in FireFox? I can't find it.

I would like to rename profile in roaming and local dirs for windows, but after I do it, addons are no longer visible in firefox. I guess I am missing something. What else do I have to do, when renaming profile dirs?

During a troubleshooting episode to confirm forwarding from gmail accounts, the email password was reset by the provider Spectrum. Email works properly on a Windows desktop computer but from the time the reset was accomplished have been unable to receive emails on iPad or iPhone. Have entered the new password in mail settings but get the following message: The IMAP server is not responding. Check your network connection and that you have entered the correct information in the "Incoming Mail Server". The password and settings are correct for the mail account. Checked the password saved in settings/password for the email account and found a different password. Tried that password but same message. Am I missing something?

hi I am running my application which is easily running on chrome and edge in windows but unable to run on firefox. Can you please suggest what is the actual issue? We are getting output in every browser but not in firefox only. I did disable cache but still no output.

First Of All, Thank you for such a wonderful Browser. I have been using Firefox Mobile for a while now. Everything is perfect for my needs. Except for one thing.

Less Number Of Search Suggestions.

Firefox Mobile shows less number of search suggestions. So, I tried to check in Firefox Focus. I used Google as my Only Search Engine in both Firefox Mobile and Firefox Focus. I have enabled every search suggestions settings in both. While searching for anything in search bar, Firefox Mobile shows only 3 suggestions for my search whereas Firefox Focus shows 10 suggestions. Even Firefox Beta and Firefox Nightly shows 3 Suggestions. This is stopping me from using Firefox Mobile. I can't switch to Firefox Focus as there is no support for Extensions.

If it's a mistake from my side, Please, Suggest Me, what do I need to do to get Firefox Focus like Search Suggestions in Firefox Mobile.

If it's an issue in Firefox Mobile, Please, Fix it as soon as possible.

I want Firefox Focus like Search Suggestions on Firefox Mobile. I wish to Donate to Firefox Mobile and continue my journey with it. Please, Help Me With This.

Your Humbly Firefox Lover.

Thunderbird Inbox Draft Flag keeps rechecking on only one of my 3 email accounts. This problem started recently, probably after the latest update to Thunderbird, which is now 115.12.2 x64 on my Win 10 22H2 desktop.

I installed the add-on FolderFlags so I could see and change the flags, but after I clear the Draft flag on the one Inbox, the flag is checked again after I restart Thunderbird.

The annoyances generated from this problem are making me want to change email application.

For no apparent reason I can receive but not send emails from yesterday. The message below tells me to check my SMTP settings. I have checked and rechecked, nothing has changed, but somewhere it think it has. Any suggestions please? Regards Ilio Pieroni

I think the image I attached might be a faux Firefox page. I think I did click on update earlier today before noticing the page is pretty empty. If I did so, what damage might it have done?

Is there a chance a hacker took over my whole Firefox account? I ask because just after that I was prompted to enter my info on the Mozilla help page. I couldn't remember my p/w, so I created a new one. This evening, when I tried to log in to the Mozilla support section, I had to create another new p/w. Then, when I tried to enter a secondary address as suggested, the page returned the message that another account was already using that address.

Can you help me sort this out? Might I have two Mozilla accounts? (It would be unlikely that neither of them would be recorded in my list of p/w's.) How can I check?

Thanks for your attention. If you need an e-mail address, please use RJHMM@juno.com. I will also check my primary address, though.

Tried to set up a secondary e-mail acct but screen says another account is already using it.

After updating my packages on Arch Linux, Firefox keeps crashing. I have tried almost everything from installing different versions, rolling back my Nvidia drivers, even reinstalling packages that I'd removed earlier that day. Nothing works apart from it running on X11.

Logs indicate that it's some problem with Wayland – something along the lines of a protocol error with wp_linux_drm_syncobj_surface_v1#61: error 5: No Release point provided. I have searched around for people with similar problems; although there are some others that are having some problems with Wayland and Firefox, this particular problem does not seem to be documented anywhere.

Here is a snippet from the crash report that may be useful: GraphicsCriticalError: [1][GFX1-]: Wayland protocol error: wp_linux_drm_syncobj_surface_v1#61: error 5: No Release point provided AdapterDriverVendor: nvidia/unknown AdapterDriverVersion: 555.58.2.0 ContentSandboxLevel: 4 IsWayland: 1

This happened on all Firefox versions I could try: official pacman release, flatpak, developer version, the 129 beta.

Has anybody else run into this or got ideas how to fix? Thanks in advance for your help!
