Download popup window without info on download speed and size download progress

Any idea on how to undo this or at least make the UI show the details again?

Hello everyone the new lateral sidebar on Mozilla Firefox is a nightmare I beg you to please allow us to remove this option. It is a crazy, mad, f.ed up thing that has been imposed to remove 1.5cm on each and every page I load. I haven't asked for it and now I cannot remove it. You guys are mentally ill or what? If you're going to impose something without asking at least make it possible to remove what the actual f, guys. I'm about to change browser if you don't fix this mad issue.

Hey ! Anybody having a clue why Mozilla apps like FF and TB (only those) change their window size when my PC resumes from sleep? I leave them open in a certain size (not full screen) on my 4k LG monitor with scaling enabled (150%) and my PC sleeps (Dell Optiplex micro with DP connection to monitor). When PC wakes up all windows are as they were (Word, Onenote, Viber ...) but FF and TB. Those have equal size, but very small. As only Moz apps are doing this, i'm suspecting some feature or bug with them and not with windows or DP.

I noticed that sometimes i hear a sound from the PC indeed after it turns off the monitor (first stage of sleep), as if some device was disconnected and reconnected. Then PC sleeps deep (second stage of sleep) and then the issue occurs. If i wake the PC in frist stage, after it turned off the monitor, the issue does not occur.

Thanks for opinions !

Personally, I think considering what’s happening with the DOJ and the Monopoly case against Google, I think Mozilla’s best move is to buy chrome.

I'm not able to figure out how this shows up - what keys I end up pressing to summon this Bookmarks demon.

the mozilla help documents are not helpful to me

I'm a Mac user if that helps.

Hey guys, i was just now logged off from all devices. I log in and it says, there is no abo found. I purchased one on July 2024 for a year. What can I do or have someone else trouble?

Is the mozilla observatory-cli tool still supported? Its v1 api 502's. Has it been replaced by another tool? Thanks,

edit solved, I'd missed the v2 repo move.

Folks, I need help!

I updated to Firefox 131.0.3 and now I'm unable to open any website, regardless of the URL. Instead of the website, the browser window shows an error message saying "Firefox can't communicate with the server" and that I should make sure the "Personal Security Manager" is installed.

Internet connection is fine, Chrome and Edge are working as usual.

Googling the PSM, the latest results are from 2012, moste going back to 2007. What the heck is a Personal Security Manager? And how do I get my browser to work?

Any advice is much appreciated!

I have used browser forever but finding that sites seem to no longer work. Example ICloud. I have to jump to Edge to use. Ideas?

A collegue came up to me and asked me how he could access ftp.mozilla.org via WinSCP and I was like, "just use anonymous mode" and he's like, "i did."

So I tried it and turns out it just...doesn't do a thing. In particular, he needed this: https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/115.16.1esr/ - but downloading link by link is annoying, so he wanted to grab the whole folder.

I feel like I am missing something here...

Just use Mullvad directly with any WireGuard cliend of your choosing, and you'll be happier for it. Containers can still use custom proxy settings, so there's nothing exclusive about MozillaVPN except convenience. The lack of custom virtual interfaces is the biggest drawback for me.

I want to contribute to Mozilla, but I was surprised by the number of paid executives on their website Leadership page. The number of Vice Presidents is staggering! Do the Executives really earn their pay? Or do they just drag down the $$ given in contributions?

Can Mozilla please send their emails with links that actually go to the content?
(ps. It's a practice many companies employ, so maybe someone just has something interesting to write about the subject in general)
As a principal, I don't visit links that don't go anywhere meaningful.
And if it has a tracking Id added on, fine I just remove it.
But mozilla's updates that I am getting nowadays don't even do that, links they send me just go to a gibberish domain like clicks.mozilla.org/f/a/0218y21h91291b29e12enq9uxa8wxdwxnd21x21d9xnd189 etc..

It doesn't even give experienced web people the ability to find the webpage it's supposed to point you to.
Even just doing the good old URL parameter with an id instead of going to a completely different domain would allow people to at least see where the resource actually goes to.

I hope I am not alone in this practice.
There's stuff I've been sent that I'd be okay with interacting with, but not having the actual link without multiple redirects is stopping them from gaining my interactions.

I don't know why I keep downloading Pocket every 2 months and every time I'm amazed to see that it's absolutely useless.

I don't understand how Mozilla can be so disappointing and it pisses me off. The application seems frozen in 2012 and it's like they're trying to squeeze pennies out of everything, which means Pocket is no longer Pocket.

If you use it, can you tell me what it's for? I mean, I alternate between Instapaper, GoodLinks, Readwise Reader and Matter, and Pocket is the only one that can't save an article, every time it opens the web page in the built-in browser it's stupid!

Not to mention the times when it manages to scrape the article and format it badly. How on earth can a company as big as Mozilla be completely out of date with a little program that worked perfectly!

I use Firefox, I'm really trying to keep loving Mozilla, but the polemics that are building up around privacy, the more than dubious management around uBlock Origin Lite, the competition that is developing, Pocket...

If I hadn't known about Mozilla in the early 2000s, there's almost no chance I'd be using any of its services.

Has this been floated by Mozilla leadership of a Firefox as a Service? Unapologetic iOS and Firefox user here. Love Firefox on my Linux desktop, but ... yeah rough ride on iOS. So if Mozilla cannot launch the unabridged version of Firefox on iPhones and iPads, what about a paid service for Firefox as a Service I can access through Safari? If I can run a containerized version of Firefox as a paid service from Mozilla, that's something to pony up for. Add in a few more bundle options to spice up the value. I don't think it too crazy. I heard of worse ideas.

I would like to donate to Thunderbird without disclosing my home address and phone number.

I am able to do this for other shareware, such as LibreOffice, by using Paypal.

Anyone know how to do this? I have been freeloading for too long but bad things happen when I disclose my mailing address or phone #.

Hey, I have private and business Emails, and I would like them to be separate. Is there a way to make categories or something similar to separate/organize them?

I use network blocking requests on certain websites to block unwanted content. Works fine except that when I close Firefox, next time I open Firefox the blocking requests are gone. So I have to enter them all again. In Chrome browsers the blocking requests are remembered every time. How do I get Firefox to save the requests? (Ticked the 'persist logs' but that does nothing).

I wish the old UI from https://observatory.mozilla.org/ could remain on the new Observatory (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/observatory). It's so much nicer to read and to see.

I've added 2 screenshots for a side-by-side comparison. The older one is so beautiful, I love it.
