I am experiencing an issue in Firefox with recurring entries in the bookmarks menu, such as "About Us" and "Customize Firefox." These entries:

   Reappear frequently, cluttering the bookmarks menu.
   Cannot be deleted through the bookmarks library or toolbar customization options.

I have attempted the following steps without success:

   Removing the entries using the bookmarks manager.
   Resetting Firefox, creating a new profile, and disabling extensions.
   Running Firefox in safe mode.

The issue persists even after these attempts. Is this a known problem or an intentional feature? If so, how can I disable or permanently remove these entries?

Additional Information:

   Firefox version: [Your Firefox version]
   Operating System: [Your OS, e.g., Windows 10]

Thank you for any guidance or fixes!

This is a hail Mary. Microsoft changed the behavior of Windows, supposedly for security, so that clicking the Firefox button to make it the default web browser is no longer allowed. Instead, I get taken to the default apps section of Settings, where the only choices are Edge and Internet Explorer. No Firefox. Same with images and with video. Microsoft is not helping with this and I'm damned if I'm wading through probably a hundred or so file extensions changing each one individually. Somebody else must have run across this problem and maybe solved it?

Hello, When I set the default app for my PDF files to Firefox in Windows 11 Pro, the PDF files I put on my desktop are mostly empty space except for a tiny Firefox logo. Other file icons on the desktop are full-sized and easy to see. Is there a way to make these Firefox/PDF icons full-sized, other than selecting a different default app for PDF files? Screenshot example attached. Thanks! Dave

Microsoft Surface Pro 8 x64 computer Microsoft Windows 11 Pro OS 10.0.22631 Build 22631 (purchased) Browsers: Firefox (main) 132.0.2 (64-bit) Google Chrome Microsoft Edge (not used often) I try to keep all updates and patches applied. No hacks or jailbreaks.

I always find it useful. I have one problem. I usually only display [Attachments][Subject][Recipient][Date], but the default displays [Thread][Star], etc., and I have to edit them each time. Is it possible to create a [User default] by changing the settings? Thank you.

Hi,

I am disabled and in a wheelchair. I have a Dell Inspiron 7591 2-in-1 laptop as a communication device to speak. Since my hands don't work, I have to use head switches in order to operate my device. I downloaded and installed the latest version Firefox (version 132.0.2 (64-bit)) via Microsoft Store on my laptop running Windows 10 Home. I have a Jabber/XMPP account to communicate with my family members and friends. In order to mount my laptop to my wheelchair, my laptop has to be in tent mode (upside down, but my screen automatically rotates to the proper orientation.) When I go to mov.im in the Firefox browser and video call someone, I appear upside-down on their end. I also visited https://webcamtests.com/ in Firefox and I appeared upside-down on my screen. However when I use other programs (eg: the camera app in Windows, Google Chrome, etc.), it recognizes my laptop is in tent mode so those programs automatically adjust my camera orientation. I would like my Firefox browser to recognize that my laptop is in tent mode and automatically rotate my camera to the proper orientation. Is this possible? If not, I would like to make this a feature request please?

Thank you

Have a service ticket website we use (EasyVista) that should be form populating previous entries however this is not happening in FireFox. Doing this on Chrome works properly. I've included screenshots showing both.

Autofill is properly set. Below is all config entries that have "autofill" in their name:

browser.urlbar.autoFill true browser.urlbar.autoFill.adaptiveHistory.enabled false browser.urlbar.autoFill.adaptiveHistory.minCharsThreshold 0 dom.forms.autocomplete.formautofill true extensions.formautofill.addresses.capture.enabled true extensions.formautofill.addresses.enabled true extensions.formautofill.addresses.experiments.enabled false extensions.formautofill.addresses.ignoreAutocompleteOff true extensions.formautofill.addresses.supported detect extensions.formautofill.addresses.supportedCountries US,CA,FR,DE extensions.formautofill.available detect extensions.formautofill.creditCards.enabled true extensions.formautofill.creditCards.heuristics.fathom.confidenceThreshold 0.5 extensions.formautofill.creditCards.heuristics.fathom.highConfidenceThreshold 0.95 extensions.formautofill.creditCards.heuristics.fathom.testConfidence 0 extensions.formautofill.creditCards.heuristics.fathom.types cc-number,cc-name extensions.formautofill.creditCards.heuristics.mode 2 extensions.formautofill.creditCards.ignoreAutocompleteOff true extensions.formautofill.creditCards.reauth.optout MDIEEPgAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAEwFAYIKoZIhvcNAwcECHIvPwk4C9zyBAj7rcwgHE0r7g== extensions.formautofill.creditCards.supported detect extensions.formautofill.creditCards.supportedCountries US,CA,GB,FR,DE,IT,ES,AT,BE,PL extensions.formautofill.heuristics.autofillSameOriginWithTop true extensions.formautofill.heuristics.captureOnFormRemoval true extensions.formautofill.heuristics.captureOnPageNavigation true extensions.formautofill.loglevel Warn extensions.formautofill.supportRTL false services.sync.prefs.sync.signon.autofillForms true signon.autofillForms true signon.autofillForms.autocompleteOff true signon.autofillForms.http false

I installed the app on my new Google phone. It configured itself fine. Iwas able to adjust a few things like delivery intervals. I want to change some other options but I can't find the settings page. Can you direct me? TIA bill

There is a (new) Secure SSL forward proxy in my corporate. It requires a client to perform: TCP handshake + TLS handshake + followed by http CONNECT request

Now this works fine when we simulate proxy connection using curl, for instance:

1. curl --head -v -ik --proxy https://proxy.mydomain.com:8443 https://www.google.com/

However when setting up FF for proxy configuration, and adding proxy details under HTTPS Proxy, cant connect via that proxy. Looking at network dump we do see that FF is doing: TCP handshake + straight away sends http CONNECT request - and its missing to initiate TLS handshake....

Is there anyway at all to configure FF to connect via secure SSL proxy ?

The theme keeps resetting randomly to "dark" - although it shows that the "light" theme is enabled - it still switches to "dark", i.e. the interface is the dark mode. I then have to Disable and Enable the Light Mode for it to be Light mode again. But, then even within a few minutes, while I might be doing something else - when I go to Thunderbird, it has switched to Dark mode again .... This is FRUSTRATING.
