Hi Foxy experts! NO SOUND!!! I already uninstalled then reinstalled. Tried 3x. Even restarted computer. ONLY w firefox (like w youtube and movie trailers on web pages). Chrome and Edge have sound just fine. Running windows 11 home, version 24H2, build 26100.3194, installed on 10-28-24. But no sound started Saturday after Valentine's Day. Sound went away when the romance ended. Please help! I love Firefox but may quit for good!

I've been an evangelical Firefox user for over 20 years now, and rarely have any problems. However... every day, I read The Times online (my mother gets a free digital subscription with her paper version), and they've recently changed their site radically.

So it's probably not a FF problem, but The Times people aren't helpful.

Anyway, as I scroll down the index page, I usually <CTRL> click on potentially interesting articles, to open them in separate tabs. When I have a few open, I go through them and read each one in turn.

With the new Times version, when I do this, the index page also changes to the one I've selected for the new tab, which is annoying. I asked their support people about it, but their reply was that <CTRL> click "isn't supported".

Obviously this is disappointing, as it's how I've always done things, and it still works on every other website I visit!

Can anything be done in FF to make it work?

Thanks :-D

Hello,

I would like to know the command line that allows Firefox to propose the creation of a shortcut in the taskbar when Firefox is first run

Example: "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -CreateTaskbarShorcut

Thanks

I followed the instructions to install flatpak and then firefox (from the Mozilla pages) and got to the end, but Firefox was not not the path. There was a shell script in/home/edg/.local/share/flatpak/app/org.mozilla.firefox/x86_64/stable/869b4e0279ab4475432b2930ae5d583b7a0e00bac1078b8848d163820a152fa5/files/bin/firefox but it led to /app/lib/firefox/firefox. The /app directory doesn't exist.

Not sure what is wrong.

I have no organization.... why is this at the top of my settings and how do I get rid of it

also how do I get more shortcuts on the main home screen.... I checked 4 rows and it only shows 1 and one half row

I'm using Firefox in a kiosk-mode application, on a Raspberry Pi based system, started from a bash script like this:

# Clear history etc. to prevent problems if unit is not perfectly shut down rm -v -r /home/pi/.mozilla/firefox/*.default rm -v -r /home/pi/.mozilla/firefox/*.default-esr rm -v -r /home/pi/.cache/mozilla/firefox/*.default rm -v /home/pi/.mozilla/firefox/profiles.ini

sleep 2

/usr/bin/firefox-esr --kiosk -url http://127.0.0.1

However on booting I get a banner from Mozilla along the top of the screen saying: "Firefox automatically sends some data to Mozilla so that we can improve your experience [Choose what I share]"

This is not acceptable in kiosk mode, as it would give users access to the configuration as well as being a visual annoyance. How can we disable this?

I found old posts about this from 2012 or so, but nothing for current version of Firefox I have been using Firefox for years. This has suddenly started happening on my laptop. Annoyingly it also displays the same configuration pop-up with various screens you have to go through, clicking Skip this step before you can start browsing. I reset the Home Page to my preference. But next time I start Firefox it reverts to the Welcome and forgets all settings.

Firefox web browser when utilizing its online advertising is attempting to install malware(addons.browse-privately.net [URL:Malvertising]). [P.S. My antivirus is up-to-date!] My Avast Security software catches and stops it. In addition, whenever I start Firefox the session which was saved from previous use opens along with an additional instance briefly. ???

I finally got firefox downloaded and installed on my new Asus computer but was having trouble setting Firefox/mozilla as my browser. I thought it might be the Microsoft security measures interfering with it but not sure now.
