I have been facing a problem with custom images of home page shortcuts. Whenever my laptop shuts down and Firefox was open at that time, then upon restarting, Firefox recovers the websites that were open before shutting down. However, in this process, the shortcuts do not load the custom images at all - they are all blank. I created a new profile and started everything from scratch then also the issue was there. Is there any solution to this, or is there any issue that might be from my end?

In the year 2024, firefox still does not allow a simple way to set any URL you would like as the new tab url (without an extension).

Users were previously able to use extensions like NewTab override to have a relatively seamless experience changing their new tab page. However after certain changes, these said extensions can no longer set your new tab page to a local file, and can also no longer clear and focus the address bar.

I am simply requesting a feature within firefox to set a custom new tab page, without having to create any external configs, or without using any extensions. This basic feature has been available in chromium browsers for years, and firefox already includes a feature just like this for the "Homepage and new windows" setting, where it allows you to input a custom URL to a local file or site to put it as your homepage. However, this same setting for some odd reason does not exist for the "new tabs" option. Why is this?

As of now, I've had to use a manual override along the lines of this:

``` // shenanigans for setting a different new tab page const { classes: Cc, interfaces: Ci, utils: Cu } = Components; const { AboutNewTab } = Cu.import("resource:///modules/AboutNewTab.jsm", {}); // path to new tab can be a url or file const newTabURL = "file:///home/faaris/.local/packages/startpage/fazzi/index.html"; // set the new tab URL AboutNewTab.newTabURL = newTabURL; ```

this should not be needed. Having to modify files in system protected folders should not be needed for such a simple option.

I'm running Firefox 122.0.1 on a Windows 10 desktop PC, with a profile which includes a userChrome.css file which makes several layout and cosmetic changes.

I also have a laptop (also Windows 10) which has an old Firefox 97.0.1 installation, and I'd like to make the same changes on this machine which I'm used to on the main computer. I copied my desktop profile to the laptop, to the same directory as its present profile, but when I rebooted Firefox the transferred profile wasn't recognised.

While doing the transfer I received error messages about some of the folders: Destination path too long. This despite the fact that the registry flag to accept extended paths is set to 1. I had to skip several folders in order to complete the transfer.

Could this be the reason why the new profile isn't being picked up? Or is it because the two Firefoxes are of different versions?

I'd be grateful for any thoughts. Many thanks.

So I'm in the process of switching to Firefox again now that native vertical tabs are an option. I'd like to be able to drag maximized windows by just flicking my mouse to the top anywhere and dragging, but it won't allow me unless "Menu Bar" or "Title Bar" is enabled. I'd rather not enable either as I like how it looks without them...

I did manage to add the space I wanted by adding this to the "userChrome.css" file:

1. nav-bar {

margin-top: 15px !important; }

but it seems to only be cosmetic and won't allow me to use it for dragging the window...

When I'm saving a bookmark, I have a choice with one click between the last seven folders that were used to save bookmarks previously. Where can I increase that number to however many fit my screen (i.e. define another number by myself?)

I would also be happy to remove the "Bookmarks toolbar," "Bookmarks menu" and "Other bookmarks" shortcuts that stick at the top of that same menu, as I never use them and they only take space. Only "Other bookmarks" might come into use very rarely, if I have no idea how to classify a certain bookmark and I decide to temporarily put it there.

I'm on OpenSuse Leap 15.6 with KDE Plasma 5.27.11, Mozilla Firefox 128.5.1esr

In Firefox, reopening the app pre-loads all the last-visited tabs, while Chromium opens a blank sreen and I have a button at the top right of the screen which allows me to select whichever of the last few sessions' tabs I want to have loaded. This is definitely more convenient, as I might be working on different things at different times and need different sites for that purpose. Can we learn from Chromium and make something similar? I think the best would be a combination of both, where Firefox preloads the last visit's tabs like it currently does, but remembering the previous sessions and with the button at the top right to allow picking one of them.

What do you think? And if that is going to take too long to implement, how could I program it for myself? Bear in mind that I'm not a programmer, so it won't be something that I will be able to do today or tomorrow, but I would like to hear some directions. And of course, it would be better if the developers like the idea and make it so for everybody :)

Hi. I accidentally deleted the "Today" subfolder that exists under the "History" section in Mozilla. How can I get it back? I'm not interested in getting the internet history from today back, just the folder. Thank you for your help.
