How can I save a link to my android launcher and have it open in firefox even when the target has a manifest.json for a PWA?

By now I've done a bunch or research about PWAs. Old man Moz. has a nifty article about building them too.

Apparently they've been all the rage since 2017 or so.

But it's driving me up the wall at the moment. I like all the browser goodness available when I look at a website. Multiple tabs. Easy fwd/back navigation between sites. The ability to fire up another tab right there. Bookmark a particular page. Send a link. Whatever it is, I want my browser functionality.

I want to be able to save a link to my android launcher and have it open in firefox even if the marketing dept at the website would rather I thought it was an app.

Surely there is something in about:config? I've searched for everything I could think of and come up empty.

This new SIDEBAR that has appeared this morning. It has taken me an hour of my life to get rid of it. I am so exercised I decided to tell you how annoyed I am that it appeared with no simple way to get rid of it. Obviously designed by someone who has never tried working on a small laptop screen where every inch of visual real-estate is valuable.

Fortunately your support site is so full of other people complaining it had a solution that worked for me. I had already tried myself what the support site described as te recommended method then I discovered the "about:config" option and that has removed it. Never to be seen again I hope.

Hi guys,

I'm having some trouble with/after installing Firefox ESR.

I'm using the installer from here: https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/128.5.1esr/win64/en-US/

The behavior that I am seeing is that after running the installer, although it seems that there is no error, the process goes through without issues, there is no executable for the app itself in the folder. The shortcut that is created on Desktop is also not linked to an executable that works.

Have you encountered this before? If so, do you have any ideas or tips on how I can manage it? Or, if you have any information that I am missing, please let me know.

Thanks.

Good morning.

I have been using Thinderbird portable for years with no issues, but I now have an issue I've never had before.

I have a BTinternet email address and it is now constantly asking or my password.

I have remember password ticked when I put the password in. When I go to passwords in it, the passwords stored for IMAP and SMTP are correct. I have removed the passwords, restarted and then reinput passwords as asked it to save. I have removed my account and reinstalled. I have deleted the entire program etc and reinstalled and still the same problem.

This doesn't happen when I use Outlook (So don't think it is my btinternet account).

Any Ideas greatly received.

Thanks

I work on a lot of different sites, and have about 120 Wholesale supply websites.

When I ask Google to save Log In details, I open the Supplier Page, and my details are already filled, and I just press log in and continue ordering.

With Firefox, I am having to do one of two things: 1. Open the Settings, Open Privacy & Security, and press the Save Passwords tick box EVERY SINGLE TIME - it does NOT stay ticked. I then have to KEEP THE TAB OPEN for it to be effective. 2. Or - I type in my ENTIRE emails address, find my passwords book, and type in the pertinent password for that site.

I much prefer to use Firefox, as I find Google invasive and controlling, but would very much like this problem to have a solution, please.

Hello, since I installed the latest update of Firefox (133.0) two days ago I'm having trouble to load videos on some websites it's giving me a black screen when I try loading them so i'd like to know if anybody knows how I could fix this ? I tried clearing cookies, cache and resetting the browser and it still doesn't work.

Ever since the new version of Thunderbird I cannot send emails. I can receive them but not send them. I have found that if I temporarily disconnect my VPN, it sends OK. Your failure to provide software that can co-exist with a VPN without crapping itself is a poor advertisement for your product. I have read some of the millions of posts about this particular bug and your answers seem smug and lazy without addressing the problem.

I am running Thunderbird 128.5.0esr (64-bit) on 2 computers: a lenovo T480s and an HP EliteOne 750 Both are running Linux Mint 22. Both use gmail with the same config.(see pic). Comcast is my ISP

Problem If the computers are connected to my router by ethernet cable both can send emails

If I use WiFi neither computer will send. The "send" popup just spins.

I can send gmail from my iphone over the same wifi network

I tried hooking the computers up to a hotspot from my iphone; neither will send

Any ideas?

Hi, I have an issue and hopefully an easy challenge, but I need and would appreciate your kind help.

My Windows 10 PC with Firefox Desktop installed has all my bookmarks, passwords, add-ons, configuration entries, etc. I had the unfortunate situation where my PC hard drive boot-up is corrupted, so I am unable to boot into windows. I am though able to access all of the files intact, via a USB Hard Drive dock to read, save, and be able to transfer any files from that non-bootable hard drive to a new install.

I did a new windows install with a brand new hard drive along with Firefox, but I need your help to effectively get all of those files/entries from the old hard drive and my Firefox "profile" transferred into the new drive so I can resume like before, and further back up as necessary. I do understand that I should have logged into my Firefox account and backed it up so it would have been seamless, but I am sorry I didn't.

Can you please help me and advise?

Thank you so very much.!
