Certain websites and addons follow browser default theme or timezone in order to determine whether or not to display day or night mode.

Websites such as a Lemmy and addons like Auto Night Mode need to be able to determine my timezone so they can automatically switch between day and night at the appropriate time.

is there a way to set my local time while making sure the rest of the privacy protections remain active?

Thanks

Help toggling top tab bar on firefox.

A while ago someone helped me to eliminate the top tab bar so i could just have my Tree Style Tab on the side. It works great but i was wondering if there was any way to make that a toggle? Cause sometimes I move my computer to a smaller monitor and the horizontal space that it takes can be inconvinient.

Here's the snippet for removing it in the first place:

/* hides the native tabs */ #TabsToolbar { visibility: collapse; }/* leaves space for the window buttons */ #nav-bar { margin-top: -30px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: -4px; }

Also, since i have you here, i couldn´t manage to create a floating o just an existing "three buttons" (like the minimize maximize and close buttons). So if you know about any one of those it´d be really helpful.

Thanks in advance !

Many years ago there was a very cute Firefox fox that you could buy - unfortunately all the stores that sold it are down now. So that Firefox / Mozilla sells him again we need your vote! On https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/ideas/bring-back-the-firefox-plush-toy/idc-p/35504 you can login with your Firefox account, GitHub account or Google account and give this suggestion your Like. We hope that we will have the honor to be in the presence of such a cute cuddly animal again!

More than 17 years ago was possible to buy this super cute Firefox plush (look at the images here 😍), but now this toy become extremely rare, I think that a lot of people could be interested in buying it, also from people asked me to buy one of this toy for her and was hurt when I told her that is quite impossible to have.

This issue was opened many years ago (you can check here) but since now nothing has been done. I can understand that this is not primary in Mozilla's projects, but I think it is not so hard to realize, considering that the product has been already done and the Mozilla shop still exists.

I'm using this add-on to add a "Close Tabs to the Right" option. But after installing another add-on, the "Close Tabs to the Right" option isn't at the bottom anymore and I want to move it all the way to the bottom.

I searched and came across this guide to edit right click context menu items. However, I cannot get it to work.

This is what my userChrome.css looks like right now (scroll to the very bottom) https://pastebin.com/MWeTN19G

Here's the code I'm using to rearrange the tab context menu item

#_588c6fa6-14f9-4826-b769-71a305c80bbb_-menuitem-_close_right {
-moz-box-ordinal-group: 2 !important;
}

( I even tried setting -moz-box-ordinal-group to 2, 20, 200 but no luck)

This is the menu item id for the add-on's option I want at the bottom: _588c6fa6-14f9-4826-b769-71a305c80bbb_-menuitem-_close_right

This is the menu item id for the add-on that is currently at the bottom: _c2c003ee-bd69-42a2-b0e9-6f34222cb046_-menuitem-5

And also, I'm using Lepton to change the look of right click context menus, tabs, menu panels etc.

Here's a screenshot of the menu item ids

Edit:

#_588c6fa6-14f9-4826-b769-71a305c80bbb_-menuitem-_close_right {
order: 2 !important;
}

It works now.

I don't like notifications being shown in Windows Action Center, so I disabled it by changing alerts.useSystemBackend to false. The problem is Firefox built-in notification system just decides to mute notification sound and only shows the notifications. It's kinda annoying especially since I'm using this timer add-on. Please help me to enable notification sound. Thank you.

I don't know when the option was removed since I hadn't updated Firefox on that machine in some time. Normally it's in the customize menu at the bottom left. I can confirm that the option still exists in 104.0.2 since I also haven't updated Firefox on my main machine (a different Ubuntu-based OS). And unless there's some way in 115.0.1 to remove the title bar then I am extremely reluctant to update. Anyone know how to remove title bars on this update?

I opened this page that is in German: https://www.soeren-hentzschel.at/mozilla/mozilla-ventures-investiert-in-blue-fever/

Previously on this website, Nightly would show a translate icon in the URL bar, allowing me to translate the articles to English. I don’t see that icon anymore. Why is that?

TL;DR: I made a styled version of Reddit for Kbin instances for people participating in the reddit migration. Inspired mostly by Old Reddit, but it actually has a dark mode!

Is there an optimized version of Firefox that removed Pocket and other unneeded features? Does it use less memory?

I tried giving NextDNS a shot. So far it looks great. My only problem it has 300k query limit for free in a month. I tried investigating the source of problem by looking a bit into about:networking and found out many queries has time to live of 300 seconds. I tried turning nextdns cache boost off and on but it made no difference. In order to reduce number of queries i send i set network.dns.get-ttl false (i don't know if it relevant since i am using DNS-over-https), network.dnsCacheEntries 1000, network.dnsCacheExpiration/network.dnsCacheExpirationGracePeriod= 43200. While this setting sometimes apply to one or two queries occasionally it was pretty much ignored most of the time. I am on windows 10 and using arkenfox user.js. Does anyone have any idea how i can force a higher ttl on dns cache?

7 reasons why you should really give Mozilla Firefox (web browser) a try.

Thought I'd never see the day when Firefox would match Chrome on Speedometer.

There's also a few other benchmarks got a sizable boost. https://arewefastyet.com/

Re-buffering happens if you replay a video after it buffers completely till the end and if you click on the timeline far enough back during buffering.

I've looked through many threads but didn't find any fix/workaround for this. I saw some users saying changing values for media.cache_readahead_limit and media.cache_resume_threshold to 99999 fixed it but that didn't help and actually caused Firefox to stop buffering midway through videos.

someone in the mood to confirm a bug with me? I think this is new. Seeing this with F115 (on linux) on a clean, new profile. The code didn't change.

I used to be able to listen to a big audio file in a streaming manner when loaded from goldfire/howler.js library.

The new behaviour is: firefox will download the whole file before starting to play.

Example: (25MB bytes down will occur) https://jsfiddle.net/ugnt03jo/1/ -> click Run in upper left to render html

• if you have traffic stats on your system you'll see bytes trickling in the moment you render the html - not when you click the Play button. This is acknowledged in the devtools network-tab after it is fetched in full
• until fetched in full, the Play button will not stream the audio file

Is there a Keyboard Shortcut to put the focus on Firefox's Sidebar?

I use the Add-On "Bookmark search plus 2" which is really awesome. When I activate it's Keyboard Shortcut (Ctrl + Q), the Sidebar opens, but I have to use my mouse to click on the Sidebar to grant it focus. I looked around online and haven't found anything. If anyone knows of a way, a Keyboard Shortcut, a tool or another Add-On perhaps, please let me know! Cheers!

I really like using PWA's but FF does not allow them. I have seen a PWA extension but it requires a whole bunch of Software be added to achieve it.

Is there any other solution without resorting to a Chromium based browser ?

cross-posted from: https://beehaw.org/post/531479 Crossposting here as I saw this community mentioned on r/firefox.

FF's sync can be used to get the bookmarks onto a pc and then it can be exported. I've tried that and I do know that it works.

is there any other way to get it on Android Firefox(the stable/regular one, not beta or nightly, and on a non-rooted device). Is there any option to extract the bookmarks using usb debugging or so?

I've accidentally tapped the F and D keys together when using Alt+D to reach the address bar a few times. There is no matching shortcut or close-window command in the File menu, yet it instantly closes the window. Can someone tell me why?

Edit: Clarified first sentence and added screen shot for the doubters:

I'm trying have firefox delete all site setting and cookies on close except a couple sites. I'm currently running firefox and firefox focus but rather just use one app.
I found https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1308719 but the setting for the desktop app and mobile are different.
