@cloudless@feddit.uk 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!
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??

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.
Any help is appreciated.

I asked a similar question about a year ago on Reddit (which I don't use anymore after I learned how crass management was conducted in the company). I didn't take the time to read your article in depth, but my understanding is that there seems to be an "Firefox Doomsday" article written every year. If I remember correctly, I was pointed to a graph showing the number of users of Firefox over the years, and roughly, the numbers are always increasing. Albeit slowly, but still increasing. I'm not sure what the aim of these articles would be.
I can only speak for myself in saying that Firefox is clearly faster than Chrome. Especially with the fact that I use more than 4 monitors on my system. Every Chromium based application manages multiple monitors horribly and is slow. And there's also the fact that Google seems to want to change Chromium to make it so the viewing of Ads is mandatory (preventing any Ad-Blocker from working on their platform). Plus all the Cookies, Trackers and Surveillance that happens online, Firefox is the clear winner in this race.
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... 🤔
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?
@shadowsrayn No. That is a standard Back button to go to your previously navigated page.
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.
Cheers!
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?
Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Cheers!
@over_clox Well... yes. It takes about 15x Alt-Tabs to get there.
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!
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.
Cheers!
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?
Here's my initial post on the Mozilla Help forum. I figured I'd try my luck here. Cheers! https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1417473
