I use Firefox as my default browser and when I go to Settings->Dashboards and click on the three dots next to a dashboard, the Edit menu does not appear. No big deal – I use another browser (based on Chrome) and the menu appears. I then created a new dashboard and make it the default, no problem. However, when I switched back to the Firefox browser, the new dashboard is there, but it is not the default! What the heck is going on?
What version?
It works for me (FireFox v145.0).
Clear your web browser cache and reload the page.
Also try starting firefox with extensions disabled. It could be one of your extensions causing all this.
Clearing the cache: Good suggestion, did not help
Also tried with extensions disabled, did not help.
Version: 115.30.0esr (because I still run Windows 7 and have zero intention of ‘upgrading’
Sorry, I can’t help then. The frontend developers require the use of the latest version available for web browsers.
You will find that this won’t be your only issue. Good luck using an OS that was end of life nearly 11 years ago! Even the extended date is nearly 6 years ago.
I think I stumbled across the root cause of the issue: I want to set the default dashboard for all devices and this does not seem to be an out-of-the-box capability. I did find this: GitHub - daredoes/default-dashboard: Automatically set the default dashboard for all devices for Home Assistant, but it is three years old and I have never worked with HACS. Is there a more up-to-date/easier approach?
Hey Gerry,
There will not be much people here can do. You indicate you are running an out-of date OS and browser. Then you confirm there IS a workaround but you want an easier one?
Update with links to getting started with HACS: User documentation - HACS
Well, if not talking about HA, this is quite a good OS for simple home use (google how many people intentionally keep using win7), but I believe discussing that is beyond this community.
I run a brave browser on Ubuntu in an old dell inspiron that ended support in 2016. It runs faster than win 11 on a new machine for looking at HA. By 2020 windows 10 was unusable.
