Firefox Community Forum

(I'm not sure where one can put feature requests, if this is the wrong place, tell me where else to put it.)

So, here is the thing. There is the Downloads History, displaying all downloads done in the past. This list has several features so far. Among them are:

• delete a file
• remove from history
• clear history

Hitting one of these by accident is very easy. This is a massive oversight. Things that can happen:

• You want to remove several files from the history but accidentally hit deleting them.
• You want to remove several files from the history but accidentally hit Clear History, which can especially result removing failed downloads from the past that you might want to retry.
• You hit Clear History, expecting it to spare failed downloads intuitively. As it is, I will *never* use it, since I obviously want to retry failed downloads.

Therefore, I propose several feature requests:

1. For history deletion/restoration, I propose an undo option. Certainly, the history does not take up much space. My specific recommendation is that history up to one week is logged. It can be deleted completely where the cache is also emptied, and old entries in the backup are removed automatically when the corresponding file is updated (something gets added or removed from history).
2. For file deletion/restoration, I simply propose that the files are moved to the trash of the system, instead of being directly deleted. I am not sure why this is not already the case. Should be quite easy to implement as well.
3. For Clear History, additionally to point 1, I propose that the user is prompted with "are you sure? Yes/No". Also, Clear History ignores failed downloads. Like that, it actually becomes useful. And again, this should be trivial to implement. I'd also be quite fine if this is made an option one can choose in the settings.

Note that I have seen replies to people with these or related problems that went like "you can go to the profile folder and search for this and that SQL file and..." - no. The points I wrote should be something that a casual user would want to have available, and going into technical folders is anything but user friendly. It should be doable with easy straightforward widgets within the browser.

When I'm in full screen mode, The Apple, "Firefox" "File" "Edit" "View" "History" "Bookmarks" "Tools" etc menu bar shows up at the top and won't disappear. On my iMac Pro, it doesn't show up. i.e. Off.

I can't figure out what is the setting to make sure it does not appear. I went digging everywhere and can't figure it out. If you could tell me what config, etc I'm missing I'd appreciate it.

Screen shot attached to show which menu bar I mean.

My firefox is up to date: 126.0 (64-bit)

I have been trying to use this service for some time. Everytime I try to sigh in for some reason I am blocked. It just sits there. This service workes fine on all other drowsers, but not Firefox. PLEASE, PLEASE GIVE ME A FIX .

I'm making a barcode app. When I'm trying to print it the preview just shows a black rectangle on my barcode. My barcode is an svg The code basically adds that svg to an empty print window.

Hello, everytime I want to open a website that I frequently use, Firefox fails to suggest it as first and rather suggests the "base" url. Example: I want to open https://www.arabdict.com/en/deutsch-arabisch but typing "ara" in the URL input field always suggests https://www.arabdict.com although the first link is both bookmarked and pinned on home. Can someone tell me how to fix this if it's even fixable yet? Chrome does this if you want to compare the user experience I'm missing since switching to Firefox. Thank you!

P.S: sorry for the first screenshot, I couldn't catch the suggestions menu with the built in screenshot tool.

I've been able to change some of the Tooltips in my Firefox, but there are still that I can't edit. I've not been successful on Thunderbird at all. Using this in my Firefox's `userCrome.css`:

` tooltip {

   padding:          .5rem 1rem !important;
   color:            var(--light0) !important;
   background-color: var(--dark0) !important;
   border-color:     var(--neutral-orange) !important;
 }

` The "Show your Bookmark", "Open a new Tab", "Back/Forward", "Reload", all of my bookmark websites work. The "Home", "Open application Menu" and "Extensions" still show a black bg w/white text. Switching to a light theme shows the white bg w/black text, so it's a theme issue and not a Operating System (Win 10) thing.

I can't seem to get any of my custom Tooltip colors to show up in Thunderbird.

Any help would be appreciated!

Signed into Wall Street Journal. Clicked on a subject. Got this on a screen Application error: a client-side exception has occurred (see the browser console for more information). Tried to ask the question at WSJ, Their trees are hard to get through. What is a browser console?

Das ist der Betreff des letzten Firefox-Newsletters. Dort heißt es: "Stelle sicher, dass dein Browser auf dem neuesten Stand ist, öffne dann einen neuen Tab und klicke auf das Zahnrad in der rechten oberen Ecke." Das habe ich gemacht. Aber da ist kein Zahnrad in der rechten oberen Ecke. Und nun???

For the last couple of weeks, I can no longer connect to my bank (Flagstar). I assumed an update would come out to remedy it, but now I am getting somewhat worried. When I try to connect, my page goes into a long 'working' status before telling me there is a "Problem Loading Page"

I've written this back in March of 2024 about Being Managed By Your Organization but after reading all the ones that state "Resolved" I still don't get it! I'm using Win 10 Pro 64 Bit Enterprise and everyday or any time I reboot I have to go into the registry to find Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies and delete Mozilla which the key shows ImportEnterpriseRoots. Now I'm running Avast Premium Security and have dealt with it from what I read about anti virus programs. When it comes to going into C:\Programs\Mozilla\ it doesn't show a folder called Distribution (not sure if that is the correct name but close enough to delete some jason file. I need some plain simply answer to resolve this daily problem.If you need more information please ask since I'm at my whits end dealing with this idiotic injection where even MircoShaft thinks I'm being managed *Some settings are managed by your organization? What organization since I don't have one. Please help a senior at 74 get this resolved.

Thank you and hopefully I'll get the answers I've been looking for. Jan Klassan

Whether I use Firefox or Google, when i pull up search results NONE of the businesses show a rating anymore, a feature which used to be there. Example, I search for "home insurance". A list of Insurance companies with their overall average rating should show up. The ratings are gone. All of them. Why is this? Same happens regardless of what type of business I am searching for.

Netzero says I am located in Phoenix, Az. I am in Tucson, Arizona. It won't let me change it. I have tried numerous times but to no avail. What is the solution to this? I am going crazy trying to rectify this on my own.

On a LIvestream I'm getting an UNDEFINED error code I've cleared cookies but the problem continued I don't know how to clear if it's on you end or the web site I use to be able to beat it before it appears not it will not let me watch any shows at all

Hello Help, I go to https://support.mozilla.org/gl/questions/1340339 as per Google's directions and find 3 Firefox Feedback items, yet no way to get to the Google's and Mozilla's standard prevalent "Go to Help and click 'Submit Feedback'," yet there is no such option for this. It's odd bc I see this:

  "2 respostas    3 have this problem     2 views"

Repostas isn't even in English, and there's no way to click a "I have this problem exact same problem" and the "Views" have to be greater than 2. I see one angry feedback was complaining there is no way to submit feedback, and the response is the standard answer. Are you talking about a different Firefox or you're, for some reason, giving the Android solution? Or perhaps you pulled 3 questions submitted via the question forum, well before more people could say they also have the same issue, and posted static copies of them. At least have the wherewithal to tell us there's no way to just submit feedback other than by the question forum. This doesn't seem like too much to ask of you where you get the chance to defend yourselves when it's required. And it seems reasonable to submit feedback so as a person gets an answer, so why not say so? Anyway, that's my peeve except for a different one I'll ask separately. Cheers, r P.S. The definer add-on, that is awesome, doesn't work in this textbox. Seems like a significant oversight.
