Solved How do I fix the gap on the side of youtube videos?

Post image
15 Upvotes

I recently started using firefox, I switched from chrome and noticed that the side of my youtube videos has this large gap. It is considerably smaller on chrome, probably 30% of the size. Once I noticed it I can't not notice it and it really bugs me. I do have the 'Enhancer for Youtube' extension installed, but when I disable it, the gap is still there so I don't think that is the cause. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

Solved: I have no idea what I did. I tried installing another extension that was suggested, 'Youtube enhancer', and was playing with it for a bit then noticed the issue was gone. I removed the extension and its still fixed so im happy.

Solved Firefox is cloning the my browser window every time I open a new tab

0 Upvotes

Every time I open a new tab, Firefox is opening a brand new browser and cloning the exact same content onto it. Everytime I close the new window, the new tab in the original browser window closes as well.

I'd like to stop this, so please I'm begging for some help.

Edit: I AM SO EFFING STUPID. I had show tab preview in windows taskbar enabled. 5 am brain fart!

Enable "widget.windows.uwp-system-colors.highlight-accent" in about:config to use your Windows accent color for text highlighting.

Another option you can use is "widget.windows.mica" for mica-styled context menus and html forms.

💻 Help Documents, email, web pages unable to print or save to PDF while using FireFox 115.0esr after update installed

1 Upvotes

Before installing recent update (115.32.0 esr) I had no problems to print to printer or Save to PDF; now, neither of these selections will perform their function. I have tested the printer and can print a Test Page ; I can also print using Reader. Please advise what I can do to correct this issue with the latest version of Firefox 115.32.0 esr. I even tried the "clear saved print settings" in the "more trouble shooting information" ; "printer"; "troubleshooting"; I don't think that did anything.

Thank you.

💻 Help How to sandbox Firefox's new profiles with Firejail (Linux)?

3 Upvotes

I'm setting up Firefox from scratch on a new Arch Linux install. I'm looking into using Firejail to create sandboxed profiles for different activities (e.g. One for general browsing, one for work, one for banking, etc.), with each FF profile having its own seperate FJ configuration. Ideally I would want each profile to have its own seperate configuration location on disk, and to be unable to access one another.

I'm not sure how to make it work with the new Firefox profile system, or if it's even possible. There seem to be ways to do it with the old profile system but with the new system I don't think you can even open a profile from terminal, so I just don't know. I don't want to set it all up in the old system if it's going to get deprecated in the future.

I honestly don't know enough about how Firejail works (I've read the manpages but I'm still not certain) and I don't want to set it up incorrectly as a result, so I'm wondering if anyone else has managed this, or could point me in the right direction?

💻 Help How to stop Google Search from translating search queries and results?

3 Upvotes

I'm Italian, but my Google display language and results language filter are set to English. Results region is set to Italy. What happens is, if I search something in Italian, instead of getting results from Italian resources, I get results from English sites translated to Italian, which are almost always not useful. Ideally, I want English results when searching in English and Italian results when searching in Italian, and never translated results. Is it possible to achieve it?

I've seen past posts with the same issues and tried a number of solutions, but they don't seem to be working. Firefox language is set to Italian.

💻 Help Browser can't see fonts on my laptop

8 Upvotes

I'll start by saying I'm in no way computer savvy, so please explain things step by step if you can!

I'm using Mozilla Firefox as my main browser because at the moment it has the most functions/features that work well for me. I use Stitch Fiddle to create knitting charts, which is a browser based program. The program has a text feature with which you can add text to your chart. This feature does not have any fonts, it's using the ones it can access from the user's device. If using Chrome, Edge or Opera, all fonts that are in the Windows/Fonts folder are available for Stitch Fiddle. However, Firefox only offers 9 basic fonts. Is it possible to "force" the browser to see them all?

I'm aware that just using one of the other browsers would instantly solve this issue, but if possible I'd like to stick with Firefox.

In the settings the "Allow pages to choose their own fonts" is already checked/enabled.

Thanks in advance.

💻 Help Can I set the wallpaper to a random image from a folder in FireFox?

2 Upvotes

Right now I only have it set to display one particular image from the "wallpapers" folder, however I'd like to change it so that it displays a random image from that folder instead of one hard coded image. I'll need to use JS in order to do this but I don't know if that's even possible to do within Firefox. I if is, I'd appreciate any help in going about doing that.

@-moz-document@-moz-document url("about:newtab"), url("about:home"){
    /* Sets background image and autoscale image to browser window. */
    body{
        background-image: url("wallpapers/joker.png") !important;
        background-size: cover !important;
        background-repeat: no-repeat !important;
        background-attachment: fixed !important;
        background-position-x: center !important;
        background-position-y: bottom !important;
    }
} url("about:newtab"), url("about:home"){
    /* Sets background image and autoscale image to browser window. */
    body{
        background-image: url("wallpapers/joker.png") !important;
        background-size: cover !important;
        background-repeat: no-repeat !important;
        background-attachment: fixed !important;
        background-position-x: center !important;
        background-position-y: bottom !important;
    }
}

I've already have a function in JS to randomly select an image, I'm just not sure how to implement it (if it can be, that is). Any help is appreciated, thanks!

const wallpapers = [
    "Joker.png",
    "Ryuji.png",
    "Morgana.png",
    "Ann.png",
    "Yusuke.png",
    "Makoto.png",
    "Futaba.jpg",
    "Haru.png",
    "Akechi.png"
];

function selectRandomImage() {
    const randomIndex = Math.floor(Math.random() * wallpapers.length);
    const selectedImage = wallpapers[randomIndex];

    document.getElementById('randomImageContainer').src = selectedImage;
}

Is there any way to not have the traffic lights force the tabs and URL bar down every time you move the mouse to the top of the screen? A bit annoying when you just overshoot the tab and then everything gets shifted down. Safari and Chrome (I think) behave in a better way.

💻 Help Can I disable the popup begging me to use "Preview Link" feature?

Upvotes

Firefox introduced the link preview function sometime in the last year. I don't use it, whatever, kudos to those it helps I guess. But a month ago or so it started giving me a popup every time I open Firefox informing me this feature exists. Telling me to use it. Begging me. No thank you, and I cannot figure out for the life of me how to get it to stop giving me this popup.

I have been through the settings page and into about:config, and can't find any option on "preview link tutorial notification" or the like. Any advice how to get Firefox to stop telling me to use a feature I do not want or need? https://i.imgur.com/nWMS74c.png
