Hi! Since lately (can't pinpoint it precisely), I have the following problem: Whenever I click on a mailto url, it opens Thunderbird but inserts the mail with three leading slashes.

These are not present in the url itself and also I don't get them when I right click -> copy mail address. From Gnome Web or Chromium, this does not occur.

I'm on Firefox 132.0 and Fedora 41. If you need more information, I will happily provide them.

Best regards, Carroll

Hello,

How can I move the cursor to be, by default, place into the "search the web" firefox space and not in the address bar. I want that when I start Firefox and when I open a new tab. I don't want third party. I want to modify the About:config to fix this

Regards

Not sure about the category I selected for my question but here goes. Maybe the problem I'm having with Facebook is my browser. But, when I make or send a attachment to a Facebook message I'm replying to, while the photo of the attachment will show up the text within that attachment will not. How do I make the text ALSO appear within the attachment I'm sending. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Sometimes, when I copy and paste a Youtube link into Firefox or I open a Youtube video in a new tab, the video player won't load. Sometimes it's fixed when I reload the page, other times it can only be fixed if I open a new Youtube tab and paste the name of the youtube video in.

Notes: - Tested in privacy browser with only Ublock origin active (no other extensions), did not appear to have this problem (It's a bit difficult to test since it only comes up sometimes with opening Youtube in background tabs/copying and pasting a youtube video)

    - Something I noticed: video player appears to load a lot faster in privacy browser.
    - However, turned off all extensions and themes in non-privacy browser and still had the issue
    - Youtube pages load in the background of privacy browser, but in the normal browser I have to click on them to load

- Turned off hardware acceleration, didn't change anything - Tried troubleshoot mode, doesn't look like the issue is still there? But confused on why the issue still happens when I turn all extensions off not in troubleshoot mode

Wondering if it's an about:config issue? I don't think I changed anything in there, though.

Screenshot of my issue below.

I'm running Windows 10 and Firefox with latest updates. With Firefox closed, when I right click on Firefox icon and select Open New Window a previous session window with whatever tabs were open is opened. This happens even if in the previous session I opened a new window, then closed all other windows, and then closed the single tab new window. This seems to have begun happening about 2 or 3 updates ago.

I am trying to download videos from the LoC. These are free and open access, with a little download button on the video page. When I click to download, the video opens in a new screen, but never downloads to my computer. Same thing with internet archive; click on the correct file format in the download section and the window refreshes to play and doesn't download. I changed my settings to always ask what to do with downloads, to send files to my download folder and tried to select the actions for each kind of file format. Still having the same issue.

I have a Google docs on my google account that I access 5-10 times per day. For many years, when I typed the first four characters of the document name Firefox would suggest the document via its autocomplete feature so all I had to do open to the document was press Enter. I learned it via muscle memory. Over the years it saved me a ton of time.

Then about 9 months ago I signed up for insurance from a company whose name starts with the same four characters. Firefox immediately started suggesting the insurance website instead of my document. I don't know why Firefox thinks I'd rather go to this insurance website. My document is bookmarked but the insurance website is not. I visit my document 100X as often as I visit the insurance website.

I've tried to find settings that will bring my document back to the top of the list. The most useful setting I was found was disabling "Browsing History" under "Address Bar - Firefox Suggest". This removed the insurance website from my suggestions, but it did not bring my document back to the top. I found a help document that says that I should be able to remove the insurance website specifically from "Firefox Suggest" by clicking the three dots next to the name in my drop down address bar and select "remove", but for some reason the insurance website doesn't have the three dots next to it (other suggestions listed in the drop down address bar do have the three dots, so I think I'm looking in the right place). I doubt this would help anyway since I have already removed the insurance website from my suggestions and my document still hasn't been restored as the default.

Is there anyway to access more specific settings that would restore Firefox's original behavior?

I have a Mac that was running Sequoia 10.14.7 I think. Firefox hasn't been giving search results since yesterday so I updated Firefox and restarted it. Still got blank pages after updating. Firefox suggested re-installing so I did. I got no warning DURING installation that the newest version would not work with Sequoia. There was a light gray circle slash through the icon when I installed it, but have never see that when installing apps before. I was given an option to replace the original Firefox or install a second version, so I chose "replace," thinking I was keeping it simple. I updated Mac OS to Catalina 10.15.7--an action I've been avoiding due to all of my most important documents being on an older version of Word for Mac 2011, and TBH I resent having to pay for a subscription to access my Word & Excel documents for revision or printing, and don't like keeping my documents on the cloud...as required by newer versions of MS Office. Now I have Catalina & the newest version of Firefox and can't do the two most important things I need to do on my computer: Work with my Word docs and Firefox STILL PRODUCES BLANK SEARCH RESULTS PAGES. I've now essentially lost access to all my Office docs due to chain reaction fuster cluck resulting from a blank Firefox search page 2 hours ago. PLEASE ADVISE.

Ich habe verschiedene Onlinekurse. In meinem aktuellen Klavierkurs sind Videos zum abspielen enthalten. Mit dem letzten Update des Firefoxbrowsers können die Videos nicht mehr gestartet werden. Mit welcher Einstellung läßt sich das beheben? Vielen Dank für eine baldige Hilfe. Gruß Reiner

My Google tab won't open anymore in Firefox. I have the latest version. It asks me to restore but nothing happens. I can open google on all other browsers. Safari, Chrome etc. but not Firefox.

Hello,

I have been using an add-on/extension (Calendar Data Extractor) in Google Sheets to extract data from a Google calendar. It used to work perfectly in Firefox but now it no longer appears as an extension when I use Firefox.

I tested it in Chrome and it is still functioning perfectly with Chrome. However, as Firefox is my preferred browser and default browser, I would like to find out if it is a setting in Firefox or a wider issue preventing it from appearing. Perhaps the developer hasn't updated the add-on for Firefox.

The first image below shows it appearing in Chrome. The second image shows what it looks like in Firefox.

Any advice will be appreciated.

Many thanks.

I want to delete certain bookmarks but they keep reappearing. I guess it is an issue with synchronization or something. But I cannot find the right options to solve this. I use firefox on my pc and iphone.

I love Firefox, but I'm almost ready to leave. Every time I want to navigate to "shop.bahaiwebsites.com", autocomplete enters "shop.bytique.com", which doesn't exist. How do I stop this autosuggest? Thank you.

Hello,

I'm brand new to Firefox (1 week!) and i was doing some copy and pasting in an email (using gmail) and i noticed that every time i tried to paste it would add a space into it. I was copying about 15-20 email addresses so it really slowed me down as i would have to go back and delete the space after the @ symbol every time! Is this a known issue and if so is there a fix? If not is there a way to do a bug report?

Thank you!

Best,

Zac
