How do I increse number of history lines of current tab while right clicking on the back button? For example if I visit 30 pages in a row in one tab, the drop list shows only 15. I still can get to the first page by clicking the back button thirty times.

I just added Search on Google Lens to my Firefox "Add-ons Extensions" because I need to identify a simple image, but I can't figure out how to make it work. I put my mouse pointer on te image and right click, but I do not get a context menu with a Google Lens choice. What do I need to do to make Google Lens work on my computer?

I FEEL LIKE A TOTAL IDIOT WHEN USING Firefox Browser. It is the only browser I use and I have been using Firefox for 10+ years. I've spent thousands of hours using it but due to my GREAT IGNORANCE of the best way to use and maximize my efficiency, my precious time is being wasted. I FEEL LOST MUCH OF THE TIME. IS IT POSSIBLE ORGANIZED MY USE OF FIREFOX IN A WAY THAT WILL MAKE IT A PLEASURE TO USE? For example my Windows fire Explorer if very organized and based on a logical system that I created. With Firefox I've created hundreds Bookmarks and I've started organized them but it doesn't automatically sort a folders or bookmarks when I put them in and that is a huge inconvenience because I sometimes forget to do that and then I can't find what I need.

I've built computers and installed hardware and complicated software; I've done a little bit of Excel programing as well. I am a well educated person with a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry, and I also have several post graduate certifications but I feel like Firefox is cumbersome to use. Now that "feeling" has to do with my ignorance most likely SO is there anyone out there who can point this frustrated researcher in the direction that will make me a virtuoso with Firefox? With all the very smart people who invented and maintain Firefox, someone must have created a Firefox course to turn a Firefox user who can get a hundred times more done in a fraction of the time it is currently taking me.

Here's a good example of the kind of things I need: 1. First, let me convey just a brief context of my endeavors, and then I'll submit a some ways in which my Firefox browser could much more helpful. I do a lot of teaching in several technical areas of science (physics, mathematics, chemistry, financial management an investments, predictive models for targeting future needs vs resources for individual and group advancements, and with unique considerations for cultures/philosophical diversities, the role of pattern recognition in cognitive architecture and in subjective/objective conscious states of alertness paradigms; medical science, philosophy, learning theory and methods, I also teach music theory and composition related to the guitar, violin, and piano. One of the reasons that I like Firefox is it's Privacy protection, but I'm confident that if I were more "edumacated" about the complex subject of privacy I would like "accessorize" my interaction with a world that has plenty of "bad actors out there". Consider this fact: I am a skilled surgeon whose quick hands and mind have been involved involved in multiple acute life threatening injuries. This means that I use a kind of magical thinking that I learned long ago, and that thinking is the difference between life and death for the man whose left renal artery was ruptured in a plane crash. He is losing blood internally and must be treated immediately, He will arrive at trauma center in 10-15 minutes vial helicopter. I am already scrubbed in and ready for his arrival as is my very experienced surgical assistant who has prepared all the surgical instruments organized in the sterile surgical room. Firefox must be like my surgical assistant. Every tool I need for research, for probative accumulation of essential information must be readily, available, so I can focus of the important task of stopping the blood loss quickly. That surgery was done and that 26 year old male survived after I repaired the ruptured left renal artery using endovascular repair via a surgical Goretex stint graft similar to what I have used in repair of aortic aneurysms. Simple when one has the tools at ones fingertips due to well trained support staff. When I am about to write a highly important article or chapter that I will contribute to a book that has several other contributing authors, There are certain tools I need and that depends on whether I'm writing in English, Russian, French, Spanish, Portuguese, or Italian. I will need the following tabs: # 1. [Merriam-Webster's Unabridged Dictionary|https://unabridged.merriam-webster.com/thesaurus/intend]

1. 2. Forvo, world's largest pronunciation dictionary # 3. Thesaurus.com So, the foregoing is an example three tabs I would like to be opened when I am going to start an article. When I am teaching and writing music there is select number of 5-7 tabs, depending on which instrument I am working with, that I would like to open with one or two clicks. Similarly, when I do financial or medical research. For example I could in my Bookmarks create project related folders with the specific tabs I would like to have open, the question would be is there a way I can open 5-10 links in a folder, with a minimal of clicking? I'm sure there are other smarter ways to work but I don't know Firefox well enough to know how to shape it around my specialty needs. If anyone read this "Call for assistance" and feels interested in helping me become skilled wit fitting Firefox to my way of working, let me know. My email is mwmaddox@mail.com. Thanks!

I stick with Firefox because it is apparently one of the safest browsers. I have installed a few Add-ons and Themes, like "Tree Style Tab" and "Go To Playing Tab" both of which I like. I'm still trying to figure out how to have Google Lens work on my Firefox. I read all the instructions but nothing seems to work. Is it me or is it a problem with Firefox browser, or what?

when i open Firefox and open the address bar if I type a website that i have already visited it won't show up for example if i visit google maps it will show the website next time i type it in the box how can I fix this so i can show all recent websites that I have visited so I don't have to type them again to visit them

Usually if I want to save an image, I can go into save and go to the directory I want to save the file, and all of the files there will show. Then if I want to confirm that the file I'm saving is not a duplicate, I can click on the files in the list and see a thumbnail on the right hand side.

This works for JPG and PNG. But not for Webp.

Is there a way to activate this for Webp?

I've attached an image of what I get with JPG and PNG files. The image on the right is missing with WebP.

Can you add a configuration setting to Mozilla Firefox to disable Create New Profile, configurable in the policies.json file? (A second option but a much uglier one would be to disable being able to select a file location for a new profile. Then you could make the default profile directory write only, which would also accomplish the same thing.) (A third option would be to able to configure extensions by default upon installation in the ExtensionSettings policy.)

To explain, I use LeechblockNG on Firefox on Ubuntu. Very helpful. By placing a policies.json file (see at bottom) in /etc/firefox/policies/ directory, I can create a system wide policy. I can make the LeechblockNG extension mandatory and to be installed upon every new profile creation. That all works very well. HOWEVER, there is NO way to be able to set those options in the new profile. So LeechblockNG is installed with default options (which are no blocking at all), which effectively bypasses the addon.

I am also writing the author of the leechblock extension to see if there is any way to set the options for leechblock upon installation (the third option above).

But I know other people have this same question, and at present, if I am correct, there is no way to block new profile creation, or the Profile Manager window in Firefox.

So could you please add that option to the Firefox policies.json configuration? Something like "DisableNewProfiles": true would do it.

Thanks!

My current policies.json file in /etc/firefox/policies/ directory: { "policies": { "BlockAboutConfig": true, "BlockAboutProfiles": true, "PrivateBrowsingModeAvailability": 1, "DisableSafeMode": true, "ExtensionSettings":{ "*": { "installation_mode": "blocked", "blocked_install_message": "Prohibited install more extensions." }, "leechblockng@proginosko.com": { "installation_mode": "force_installed", "install_url": "https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/file/4374316/leechblock_ng-1.6.6.xpi" } } } }

So I'm in the process of switching to Firefox again now that native vertical tabs are an option. I'd like to be able to drag maximized windows by just flicking my mouse to the top anywhere and dragging, but it won't allow me unless "Menu Bar" or "Title Bar" is enabled. I'd rather not enable either as I like how it looks without them...

I did manage to add the space I wanted by adding this to the "userChrome.css" file:

1. nav-bar {

margin-top: 15px !important; }

but it seems to only be cosmetic and won't allow me to use it for dragging the window...

I have tons of manga I keep up with and I separate them by category but this creates a lot of folders with a lot of entries. I want the bookmark panel to be a side panel so I can drag and drop updated bookmarks as well as having all entries in a folder be visible when browsing bookmarks.

That last part is the most important so I can quickly find specific things while scrolling
