Hi, I want to know how to stop word prediction in text input boxes. I can't see the word I am typing with it in the way. I do my own spell checking and seeing the word I'm typing is required. I don't use any word prediction suggestions anyway. I am not so lazy or incompetent that I don't actually use my keyboard for typing and I absolutely have to see what I'm typing as I am doing so. I've looked all through the settings in Firefox settings and did a search to see if it was something Windows related and also did a search here which only came up with 1 result which was unrelated. Thanks for any help on this.

It certainly appears they have, with the left and right padding growing wider. In fact, they both look about twice the size of the top and bottom padding, whereas before I remember them as being about equal. The change was immediately apparent with my home page!

Any particular reason for this?

I have read elsewhere here in the Support Forum that "browser.shopping.experience2023 prefs" in about:config allow for the disabling of Firefox Review Checker. Alas, there are quite a few of them there! What specific preferences -- and what specific values thereof -- are required to disable the Review Checker in FF 133.0?

I will add that it would be terrific if one could accomplish the same goal via FF Settings.

For the past week or so I am finding Youtube videos are unavailable because, I understand from messages that flash on my screen, its ads are being blocked. This does not occur if I use Chrome. Also, although I had chosen Duck Duck Go as my search engine, Yahoo seems to be doing the job. Can you please advise me how I can stop ad blocking for Youtube, and yahoo appearing as the search engine, when I use Firefox. Firefox was my default browser but have changed to Chrome for the present. The O/S on my PC is Windows 10.

why is there no way to select audio/video/ microphone input or output? . my headset dies all the time and i would like to change in firefox which output the audio should go into. while skullcandys headphones firmware sucks, firefox has the wherewithal to have a device settings section where i can choose which device has which input and output

I keep getting Bad Certificate when I try to print from my Android phone. I can print from my tablet but I keep getting the message, Firefox preventing this print, Bad Certificate?

Hi. Recently, in my Firefox browser on Windows, there is a new "News" section on the new tab page - how can I get rid of this??

I like the Pocket stories on the new tab page, precisely because they are usually *not* news - they are interesting, thought-provoking, or quirky stories that provide a break from actual news headlines. I need to escape the actual "breaking news." Please allow users to get ride of the "real" news section.

I thought I was able to set my computer browser to remember how to fill out forms that I have filled out in the past. Now, all of a sudden, I go the the form page click on its first line to bring up my necessary information, & all I get is a blank page.

What happened?

Thank you.

I have an issue with the Firefox printing dialog. Everything I print comes out tiny, covering only 25% of the page. This only happens when using the Firefox print dialog, when I select "use system dialog" everything prints fine. The page looks normal on the print preview window, and only looks small once printed. I have tried resetting the printer settings from about:support, and I don't see any erroneous settings in about:config. I'm assuming there is something I'm missing that makes the page size wrong.

Hi everyone, I'm desperately trying to disable Firefox from starting when my windows starts up. I've tried disabling startup apps.

I've tried setting some settings to false like toolkit.winRegisterApplicationRestart & browser.startup.windowsLaunchOnLogin.disableLaunchOnLoginPrompt and this worked for a while and now it's back to starting with windows.

The box is unticked in menu - settings - Open Firefox automatically when your computer starts up. I tried al-sorts of things but I'm still having the same problem

Does anyone have any possible solutions I can try please? At the moment I have a script to end task as I can't find any other solution.

This morning when I turned on the computer igHome, which is our startup page is not loading properly. I have restated the computer several time, logged out and logged back in to igHome. I have reset the number of colums, etc.

Nothing seems to work. Any suggestions?

I was watching videos and I noticed that sometimes my FF freezes when I look at the preview of a video. The computer is working fine since I can tell that it is only the browser "screen" that is freezing and not the whole pc. I can fix that by clicking outside the browser's window, like clicking the taskbar and it goes back to normal, still very annoying. I was able to completely fix the issue by unchecking the option "Use recommended performance settings" and just leaving the option "Use hardware acceleration when available" ON. Now I don't have these random freezes while still being able to use hardware acceleration.

My question is: what are those "recommended performance settings" that FF was using? I can't find any information about them or a list. I know that FF uses my pc specs to determine those settings but I wish I could manually set them by myself. Any ideas? Thanks!
