Hi everyone I'm trying to definitely restore my browser to start it from zero, since I'm leaving Edge to get back to firefox after some months. Problem is, everytime I try to restore setting, it automatically imports data (like history and bookmarks) and i must say it's NOT from another browser, but probably from my old profile. Saw a topic here saying i should disable some sync option, but this just doesn't work for me since I didn't even log into my profile. Firefox imports these data immediately when i click the restore button. Can someone help me on this?

I am using WIN10 and want to use my Firefox to open a pdf file and extract the text to input into a word processor. I saw a youtube video on it but it didn't work for me.

Hello. I should use proxy to visit some websites. I do not want open Preferences each time. Also I need list to exclude website which should be without proxy anyway.

How to do this?

As a Chinese user, I am very dissatisfied with the inability to use the translation function. I request to add a Chinese option to the Firefox translation package. Thank you!

I want to navigate on search results using the keyboard. I could use tab but it suggests all interactive elements such as news, images, books, videos, search settings and etc one by one. I want to press something and make active first result, then second. If such hotkeys are not provided, maybe there are any extensions with similar functionality?

I've chosen Tips and tricks, hopefully it means this will be an article/explanation instead of a question. I had the opposite problem to PDF files should not download, only open in browser and was happy to find out in the OP attachment that the action for each file-types could be changed. I didn't want my bandwidth strain of having to download PDF twice anymore (especially ones with many images).

I was going to leave the following on a comment of the other thread but it was locked.

When i open the firefox browser it only opens half screen, i click on the enlarge icon and the page flicks from the left of screen to the right of screen, i have to click on the enlarge icon again to get full screen. How do i change the settings so the browser opens in full screen everytime ?

I hope this message finds you well! I use two versions of Firefox: the stable one and the developer one.

The developer version is set to start with the Windows start and is set to be minimized on the Windows try but since some years Firefox, as other browser do, never load the page or the tab content if the tab or the window is not active, been seen by the user.

I'm asking if there is some hidden settings in the about:config that allow me to disable this and let Firefox load tabs or page always, not only when the tab or windows is seen by me.

Thank you.

When I enter a search term like "Boston hotels map" I'm looking for a map but instead I get a list of commercial web sites that are trying to sell me a hotel room - how do I change this so that I get information, not ads?

Hi! I sometimes play 2 YouTube videos each in own browser. In FireFox it pauses the video in the browser not active. Is there a setting to keep both videos playing?

Hello all,

I am looking for a way to lock align a zoomed in site (when horizontal scroll bar is visible) to the right instead of default alignment to the left when I open next page.

I have previously been able to include the tab 'Close Tab' item in the #contentAreaContextMenu by adding it to browser.xhtml. This no longer works even though 'Reopen Closed Tab' and 'New Tab' still do.

     <menuitem id="toolbar-context-openANewTab"
               command="cmd_newNavigatorTab"
               data-l10n-id="toolbar-context-menu-new-tab"/>
     <menuitem id="context_closeTab"
               label="Close Tab"
               data-lazy-l10n-id="tab-context-close-n-tabs"
               data-l10n-args='{"tabCount": 1}'/>
     <menuitem id="context_undoCloseTab"
               label="Reopen Closed Tab"
               data-l10n-id="tab-context-reopen-closed-tabs"
               data-l10n-args='{"tabCount": 1}'
               observes="History:UndoCloseTab"/>

I was previously using the following which no longer works either.

     <menuitem id="context_closeTab"
               label="Close Tab"
               oncommand="BrowserCloseTabOrWindow(event);"/>
