The solution is to set browser.urlbar.resultMenu.keyboardAccessible to false on the about:config page.

 

I like to tab trough the drop-down via the keyboard. The (…) button is a tab stop, so it gets in the way.

 

I use the Pin Unpin Tab add-on to be able to pin and unpin browser tabs via a keyboard command (Ctrl + Shift + P).

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/pinunpin-tab/

I noticed that this add-on has the permission “Access your data for all websites”. This seems unnecessary. What permission does this add-on really need?

The screenshot shows that the code word !important is broken in Firefox Nightly. This never happens in other browsers. Resize the browser window and check if that word breaks.

Can somebody reproduce? Go to https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/7535 and resize the browser window

Could Firefox not delay the update until the user actually restarts the browser?

I’m not “doing updates”. I’m just using Firefox normally.

I shared a screenshot, so I was not able to add text to the post. Maybe it’s possible, I don’t know. If there was a text box to add more text to the post, I would have explained the problem.

OP here. Most of the comments completely missed the point, but whatever.

No, it’ just a macOS application. Firefox updates itself automatically on macOS.

The problem is that the user should not be prevented from browsing the web just because a new update is ready. The user should choose when to update. If the user has multiple important tabs open, they should be able to finish their work, but if Firefox refuses to load any new tabs, then the user cannot continue working normally.

you're running multiple profiles of Firefox at the same time (so restarting one with a queued update writes the changes to disk, throwing the other profile instances out of alignment).

In that case, launching a different profile in a new window should not use the new version. In other words, Firefox should not do anything with the pending version until the user actually restarts the entire browser. Having the second window run in the new version just because there was a pending version seems like a bad approach.

Heh, if only browsers showed video controls for GIFs. That would be so useful. Maybe one day.

 

I opened this page that is in German: https://www.soeren-hentzschel.at/mozilla/mozilla-ventures-investiert-in-blue-fever/

Previously on this website, Nightly would show a translate icon in the URL bar, allowing me to translate the articles to English. I don’t see that icon anymore. Why is that?
