tools options appear in a separate tab suddenly; I want him in a box as before; about: config I have no preference inContent browser

Suddenly firefox began to automatically open the unbroken tabs. I had to shut down the computer. After you restart firefox, the
tools/options began to open in a separate tab and not in a box as before. I tried to follow your instructions, but seen that
inContent browser preferences has already been set to false. If the problem is not there. Then I refreshed firefox. Since then in the configuration page, inContent browser preferences disappeared. And tools/options continues to open in a tab. I want it to open in a box as before. Could you please tell me what to do?
Thank you.

Hi b.ray, the browser.preferences.inContent preference was just in place temporarily for a period of transition. now that there are new features and settings, go to preferences and was former windowed interface is more maintained, its users would have missed out on them, so the support fell completely in firefox 42.

If you still miss the old style - the Restorer Classic theme https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/ addon contains some improvements to make the more familiar the style options...

    Many times, I would also like to run another instance of firefox by clicking on the Firefox icon in my Quick Launch bar and DO NOT want all these sites open again.

    Thank you very much

    You can create several shortcuts on the desktop and include the URL on the command line and use the - new-window switch to specify a new window.

    You must use the - new-window switch for each URL (window - new - window-new-URL1 URL2).

    If the command line gets to long then you must use a CMD file to store the command line complete (start "" firefox.exe - new-window etc.).

  • I want my tabs of the browser back to the top, when I go to about: config, it isn't here. Can you help me?

    'More' is the default, so if you are not on top, you can also see if some of your modules override this setting. You can view your extensions here for logical candidates and use their buttons of Options to tweak their settings.

  • Tools, options will fail. Opens a tab with invalid URL message. URL is "on preferences.

    OPTIONS MENU, TOOLS, open a new tab with the message "the address is not valid. The URL is "aboutpreferences". I tried to start Firefox in Mode safe mode with the same result. I also used the 'Refresh Firefox' button. No change. Simply can't access my preferences anyway. I think it's a relatively new problem, but cannot say with certainty when the latter worked properly, but it worked in the past.

    38 of Firefox has grown from a pop-up dialog box Options for a page of 'in the tab' options. Some users find that it does not work for them, but so far we have not determined the motive. Because you did a refresh, which would eliminate most of the possible causes. You can also test mode without failure of Firefox.

    Never mind, you've already tried this step It is a standard diagnostic tool to disable some advanced features of Firefox and extensions. More info: questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode.

    Does not work if Firefox: Hold down the SHIFT key when you start Firefox.

    If Firefox is running: You can restart Firefox in Mode safe mode using either:

    • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > restart with disabled modules
    • Help menu > restart with disabled modules

    and OK reboot.

    Two scenarios: A small dialog box should appear. Click on 'Start mode safe' (not update).

    Any improvement?

    If it simply does not work, there is a preference to return to the old style dialogueOptions box:

    (1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press enter/return. Click on the button promising to be careful.

    (2) in the search above the list box, type or paste pref and make a pause so that the list is filtered

    (3) double-click the preference browser.preferences.inContent to true to false

    Note: I don't know if that will ever be in Firefox or is a transitional device. As you have probably noticed, the long-term trend is to remove things that appear.

    The browser.preferences.inContent is no longer supported in Firefox 42 and later (bug 1140495), is not possible to open an independent window by setting this pref to false.

    Optionally, create a button on the toolbar of bookmarks for the subject: preferences and hold the Shift key and left click to open the page in a new window.
