Firefox Browser (Linux und Android)

I was going to post one myself but searched and found this one.

It would be very very handy to have a simple search bar at the top of the extension dropdown menu, because over time people add a lof of different extensions to their firefox and it becomes very very very tedious to always manually search for the one that I need right now.
So just a simple searchbar at the top that filters extension in the dropdown menu by name would be awesome to have, so that I can quickly find and access its specific extension window.
Also make it so that the search bar is instantly focused when the extension menu pops up, so that the user can immediately start typing and the filtering begins. Then the user can just press enter to launch the extension window of the first element in the list. This would allow for a easy mouse-free keyboard-only navigation.
And before somebody asks: I do not want pin every extension to the toolbar just to quickly access it, it would like to hide away most of them in the dropdown menu instead, so this is not a viable option.

I should not be a few keystrokes away from accidentally deleting all of today's entries with no confirmation if I'm sure, and no way to recover them, even if I close the browser in the same second. I don't even know which ones I hit.

For instance, I watch a video on Shout Factory and then pause, close the tab and when I go back to the link it goes back to where I left off.

The only addons I've been finding are ones that block based on specific urls, domains, or a few glob patterns. I want to specify any regex.

If you don't know about smart keywords, basically you can set phrases as shortcuts for specific bookmarks. I want a folder with all of my keywords synced, and that folder only. On each profile or account I have have whatever other folders and the placement of the folder with the keywords doesn't matter as long as they have the same name.

Apparently I wasn't clear enough in my other post. When I focus on the URL bar on a search page with either CMD L or by clicking it, I want to be able to just copy the phrase "lemmy" instead of having to select the text from https://www.google.com/search?q=lemmy. If I type search queries with spaces in them, the spaces are replaced with +s in the URL so I can't easily copy them.

I often do searches with multiple search engines and extras with the same query but with site:reddit.com added at the end. Being able to press CMD L to focus the URL bar, and then CMD C with all the text selected would make things a lot faster. This was added months ago to Firefox but it looks like it was removed now.

I found the flag to disable it, but I’m really curious why the decision was made in the first place. On Chrome and Firefox, l If you double click this example HTML5 : https://www.w3schools.com/html/html5_video.asp, it will go full screen. I’ve always wondered why sometimes click on a video would make it go fullscreen, it’s laggy and annoying for me, even on high-end laptops. On My Mac, as well as in Windows and Fedora VMs.

I looked at this bugzilla issue and some other pages and changed the flags in about:config. When I look at this page, which shows P3 vs non-P3 colors, I don't see a difference, but do in Safari and Chrome.

gfx.color_management.display_profile = /System/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/Display P3.icc
gfx.color_management.mode = 1
gfx.color_management.native_srgb = false

Hat mich irgendwie überrascht. Aber ist natürlich notwendig und sinnvoll dass Werbung genutzt wird. Die meisten Personen wissen nichts von Browser Unterschieden und Alternativen.

Firefox allows you set custom search engines (if you enable a flag), as well as smart keywords. I want to write a question for ChatGPT in the URL bar, press enter, see chat.openai.com and the question processed by GPT.

I found that all search engines in Firefox, default and user-added, are stored in the search.json.mozlz4 file in the root of your profile folder. I used this software to decompress it: https://github.com/jusw85/mozlz4 (I compiled it on macOS with cargo build). I tried looking up what each JSON property means but didn't find anything, and found one comment saying that it doesn't work since Firefox always checks it for tampering.

By default I use Google and it shows search suggestions, but when I add a custom search engine like https://www.google.com/search?q=, or a completely different one, I don't get any. I don't really care where the suggestions are coming from, they could be the same as the one for the default engine.

Another thing I want to do without right clicking and selecting a context menu item, it would be faster. While there's a hotkey for bookmarking all open tabs, I only want to bookmark the ones selected.

I'm trying to use my keyboard more since doing things with a mouse or trackpad is more time consuming. I'd like something like: pressing Control Shift Alt > to select the tab to the right (along with the current tab), and press it again to select the tab to the right of that, making it three tabs selected. Same thing with tabs to the left.

Edit: MrOtherGuy was very generous and made this addon! BmBGone, github repo.

I'd like an addon where I can right click on a folder and see a context menu item to delete all the duplicate bookmarks in it. The only addons I've found have their own pages to scan all bookmarks for duplicates. I only want to delete duplicates in specific folders.

I'm sure its common knowledge by now that whatever you write in text boxes on customer support chats can be seen by whoever is on the other side, without or before hitting send. Don't you think that's a breach of privacy?! I imagine it isn't too difficult to implement a fix for it: The browser (like Firefox) could choose not to upload the user input to wherever the website links to, without user input (like click a send button).

The Firefox extension API explicitly requires user actions before an extension can do things like open popup windows.

Addons that can do one the other or both. I looked in the Firefox addons store for but most of them have their own GUI for doing so. That could work but ideally I'd like to select a folder or some bookmarks in the bookmarks menu or sidebar and select a context menu option to refresh those favicons and or titles, its possible to run context menu options on multiple selected bookmarks like that, like copytabtitleurl.

I really don't like the psuedo-native look of the element dropdown menu on macOS, and I thought Firefox was trying to embrace native widgets when they added support for macOS right click context menus a few years ago. That issue was open for 20+ years! This sucks.
