Question about Firefox's Add-On Facebook Container. I really appreciate the fact that Firefox works very hard for us to keep our privacy online. However, I've realized that the Facebook Container Extension Breaks a fair number of Websites, which tells me that Facebook Tracks something like 98% of all internet.
This morning I tried logging into the Mozilla Connect Website and I was surprised to see that the Facebook Container broke it also. I'm wondering one of two things: Either Mozilla now is using Facebook Trackers on their Website, or the Facebook Container Add-On has some bugs, and it breaks random Websites.
Anyone else come across similar issues? Is it in the realm of possibility that Mozilla actually uses Facebook Trackers on their Website themselves??
@cloudless Oh, interesting. I wonder what's making my Browser bug out. I do have a bunch of other Extensions as well. Perhaps there's an overlap and bugging of certain functions. Thanks cloudless!
I'm looking to create an "Exit Button" in the Bookmarks Toolbar. I found how to create a Restart Button (creating a Bookmark with the URL about:restartrequired), but I'm having a hard time finding for Exit (or close all Firefox Windows). Perhaps it is not possible, I don't know.
Is there a way to see how much memory each Firefox Add-On uses? I've tried to look into "about:processes", and "about:memory". The first one tells you the total amount of memory used by the Add-Ons, and the latter gives you a 30,000 page long report that I don't know how to make heads or tails of. I KNOW my Add-Ons are eating up a lot of memory. I want to know WHICH ones are eating up the most so I can know which ones I should maybe shut down. Ideally, I wouldn't shut any down because they are all geared toward productivity. But maybe I can prioritize some over others.
Is there an easy way to view this information? Something akin to the Chrome web browser?
15 Upvotes (as of 2023-08-14), and no comments. This tells me this probably isn't a function readily available withing Firefox and that many of us are looking for the same thing and would want this function to be implemented... 🤔
Looking for a "Back Button" or a "Back Feature" that can bring me back to my previous position on a Webpage. Similarly to the Alt + Left Hotkey, I'm looking for a Hotkey that would bring me Back to my Previous "Views" or Previous "Positions", but on the same Page. For anyone who uses Visual Studio Code, I'm looking for that same "Back" feature. Perhaps there's a Firefox Add-On, or maybe even there's a built in feature to Firefox?
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!
To anyone who would be looking for an answer to my question: I ended up making it work with an AutoHotkey Script. When I press the Hotkeys that open Firefox's Sidebars, I have AutoHotkey automatically place the Mouse Cursor in the Textarea I want, Click, then relocate the Mouse Cursor to where it initially was, in a flash of a second.
I doubt any extension could do it either (new WebExtension API deems such behavior/functionality insecure/too privileged).
I hope it could be customizable by "user.js" or a similar javascript file put in your Firefox profile. If anyone finds anything, report here, please.
Partial alternative: Right click at BSP2 icon > "Open BSP2 in a Tab". Potentially pin the tab. Then Ctrl+TAB to switch back and forth.
For other extensions, figure out "moz-extension://..." URL to their files shown in the sidebar. It may not work exactly well/same as in a sidebar (or it may work better).
Not quite sure if I'm posting at the right place. I would normally be posting this on the Reddit r/Firefox channel. Anyhow, here goes.
I'm trying to get Firefox's Reader View function to work with Outlook Web Emails. It doesn't work on my end and I was wondering if it's perhaps because of a setting or another Add-On I'm using that might interfere with this function. On a side note, I tested another Reader Extensions via the Brave Browser. It seems to work when I'm viewing the overall Emails in the Inbox, but it still doesn't work with an opened Email. Microsoft never ceases to amaze... but anyhow, micro-rant aside, has anyone encountered this behavior? Are there any workarounds?
Hey @Hutchpd, thank you so much for all the insights! An Email client or tool to reformat the text might be something. I'll do some research to see if there's anything I could graft onto Outlook... or use "beside" Outlook.
Firefox is my main browser, even on my company computer. However, I still keep google chrome installed spec for this reason. I always have problems trying to use the O365 web interface with Firefox. I just do it on chrome.
