Firefox Community Forum

I had the same problem as, for example, this:

 https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1375244

firefox (on linux) was unable to open a file browser to the local filesystem on clicking a website-provided button for file uploads, e.g. here https://video-converter.com/

I have seriously messed up with firefox settings over the years in order to safeguard my privacy, against all the attempts by firefox to infringe it. (Admitteddly, not as much as google chrome, safari and, got forbid, m$ edge). One of these fixes was to link the file/database content-prefs.sqlite (found in my firefox profile dir) to /dev/null. It was this that caused a problem with the file browser not showing. WOW!

Once I deleted said file (linking to /dev/null). Firefox started and all was OK wrt the file brower.

That caused me to create a script to be run before and after firefox launch, searching for all these privacy-infringing databases in my profile dir and erasing them.

The steps to this are: 1) edit /usr/share/applications/org.mozilla.firefox.desktop and replace all Exec=firefox entries with Exec=/usr/local/bin/firefox-custom.sh 2) create a new file /usr/local/bin/firefox-custom.sh with this content

1. !/bin/bash

CMD="firefox" if [ -x ~/bin/firefox-custom.sh ]; then CMD=~/bin/firefox-custom.sh fi echo "$0 : executing firefox with this command :" echo " ${CMD} $*" ${CMD} $*

3) create a ~/bin/firefox-custom.sh file with this content

1. !/bin/bash

function eras { local f="$1" echo "erasing file '$f' ..." rm -f "${f}" }

echo "$0 : on starting, erasing various sensitive firefox databases ..."

while IFS= read -r afil && -n "$afil" ; do eras "${afil}" done <<< "$(find ~/.mozilla/firefox -type f -name 'content-prefs.sqlite')"

echo "$0 : now executing firefox ..." firefox $*

echo "$0 : on exiting, erasing various sensitive firefox databases ..." while IFS= read -r afil && -n "$afil" ; do eras "${afil}" done <<< "$(find ~/.mozilla/firefox -type f -name 'content-prefs.sqlite')"

lanuching firefox now either from a desktop file (e.g. via Plank launcher) or from the command line: gio launch /usr/share/applications/org.mozilla.firefox.desktop runs the above script before and after firefox running.

Disclaimer: the above script erases files in your profile directory, use at your own risk. Perpahs make a backup copy of your profile dir before.

I need the shortcut search to work across a variety of keywords. For example, a search on the Mozilla Support website was called via: m, mzs, mozsup, If you add keywords separated by commas, the entire shortcut stops working, although there are multiple shortcuts in the default wikipedia shortcuts, such as w, @wikipedia.

I'm not able to solve this issue.

Financial chart does not load it keeps buffering. The same is true for twitch but videos on youtube work fine.

I'm thankful if you could help me with this one.

System: Windows 11 Browser version: 136.0 64-bit

I'm experiencing an issue where the "Addon Manager" extension component has failed, causing the drag-and-search function, the address bar QR code feature, and the restore closed tabs feature to all become non-functional. These are arguably some of the most important features that enhance browsing efficiency on the PC version compared to the mobile version. Their malfunction severely impacts the overall browsing experience. I hope improvements can be made.

系统Windows11 浏览器版本136.0 64位 出现问题，扩展组建“附加组件管理器”失效。导致拖拽搜索功能，地址栏二维码功能，恢复关闭的标签页功能全部失灵！这些功能可以说是PC版比之移动端提升浏览效率最重要的一些功能！其失灵严重影响浏览器使用体验！望改进。

When i want to stream music from "app.idagio.com" in Firefox in lossless quality it says, that Firefox does not support flac lossless streaming. On a PC with Linux, the Idagio-App cannot be used. I tried Chromium, and that works, so why not in Firefox?

"Leider unterstützt dein Browser keine Wiedergabe in verlustfreier Tonqualität. Bitte verwende Google Chrome oder lade unsere App herunter, um IDAGIO in bester Audioqualität genießen zu können"

I factory reset my pc and i logged back in to my firefox account and all my saved log ins and book marks are gone did i loose them for ever or is there a way to get them back?
