Each time I open Firefox a black symbol appears in the upper right of the Firefox Icon. This began several days ago. What does the symbol mean? See attached image. Is there a way that I can remove this?

When I click on KPN TV+ I see a message: Firefox is installing missing components, try later. But Firefox is NOT providing missing components.. Or is the problem that KPN (and Ziggo IPTV) can NOT run on Linux???

Hello Mozilla Support Team,

I am writing to report a problem with the Mozilla Firefox browser. After the latest update, the browser appears to no longer decompress content that is compressed using the zstd (Zstandard) algorithm.

Previously, I could view web pages or resources compressed with zstd without issue, but now they fail to display correctly (or give errors). I have tested this on multiple websites and different systems, which suggests the change is not specific to one site or machine.

Could you please clarify the following:

Has support for zstd‐compressed content been removed or disabled in the recent Firefox version?

If so, are there plans to restore this support in a future release?

Is there a workaround or configuration setting that allows enabling zstd decompression in the meantime?

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I appreciate your help in ensuring this functionality is restored or clarified.

Best regards, Oleh Boiko Windiws 10, FF 144.0.2

Is there a reason why when using the Firefox browser I am unable to Log in to my Sling TV account. I have verified both user and password to be accurate and each time a I get a "something went wrong" message. Is it a browser issue with Sling TV?

I have a new Yoga Pro 7 and installed Ubuntu 24.04 on it. Cannot enable hw acceleration on it. Support page is given below. It says disabled by gfx. Also vainfo output is given below.

On my other Laptop I experience weird behavior since 1st of October. Only on FF Desktop I couldn´t zoom on Google Maps. The mousepad gesture moving your fingers apart and closer together to zoom in and out only increased the zoom of the page with the searchfield, all the buttons and so on. I could repeat the behavior with FF Nightly. On other browsers it worked.

When trying to report it, I was send into an endless loop while trying to post a question.

On my other Laptop with my other account I experience weird Problems. I tried to report, that I couldn´t zoom in Maps with my mousepad only on Mozilla, but there was no option to answer a question. I was send into endless loops. I tried to report it, nothing worked. So I thought there was an error but now get this cracy message: "Bitte ... bitte: Unsere Hilfeartikel sind keine Spielwiese, sondern sollen unseren Lesern helfen. Wenn also kein sinnvoller Beitrag zur Verbesserung eines Artikels geliefert wird, bitte nicht auf die Schaltfläche "Zur Überprüfung einreichen" klicken, denn dadurch wird intern eine ganze Reihe von Vorgängen ausgelöst." I wanted to report that I was denied posting a question repeatedly and that there was a possible error. Why this answer a month later

I use Adguard app for Windows which causes long page loading times in Firefox due to extended TLS Handshakes. I have installed the Adguard certificate in Firefox, have turned off DOH in Firefox, etc. etc. but, the only way that I can get a page to load in a timely manner is by clicking on "reload current page" twice in Firefox. This is a delay in itself and is very inconvenient. I understand that the incompatibility of Firefox with Adguard is a known problem and am wondering whether Mozilla is working on a solution in cooperation with Adguard?

I am unable to enter or browse for a location to save downloads in the settings for this browser. The box to type in a destination does not allow me to type any text and the button labeled "Browse" does not pop up any additional window after I click it for me to choose a destination folder for downloads. I need to be able to alter these settings or will have to resort to using a different browser all together. I have been able to modify these same settings within Safari. Any assistance you can provide would be greatly appreciated!

I have asked, before, and insofar I am aware, was ignored. I click a link on a page. The new page and tab used to appear next the to 'parent' page, ie the page where the link was. For a while now, this is NOT happening. The new page appears SOMEWHERE off to my right. I now have to shuffle between 2 related tabs. If the second page has a link I need to follow, that page appears SOMEWHERE else off to the right also. Now I have 3, related pages, remote from each other. I could drag them together, but why do I have to? In any case, when done with 3 I close it, when done with 2 I close it. Next item on 1 and start the whole debacle all over again. What I'm saying is why can related pages not appear next to each other? Logical for me and way less frustrating. In the screen capture, see the yellowish heart-shaped tabs. Why are there 3 other unrelated tabs in between?

While taking screenshot of entire page or section within the page, taken screenshot resolution is of very low quality. As a result when shared the screenshot with someone using copy paste function or download and share option, in both methods screenshot image quality is very low making it very difficult to read data/text from the same. Text from the screenshot is barely in readable format. Even zooming the image distorts image totally. I want a way to increase screenshot resolution or improve its image quality so we can read easily without zoom or zooming the image file.

I have the source set to open in the editor. When I start Firefox with a blank editor open and open the source, the source is not displayed in the editor. What could be the cause?

I recently noticed that my Microsoft account remains active after I sign out if I press the back button. All my personal and account information is still displayed, indicating that the account is still signed in. I even tried clearing all browsing data and history, but that didn't resolve the issue. This doesn't happen with my Gmail account, nor when I access my Microsoft account using Edge or Chrome.

I understand that closing the browser likely signs me out, but I have no way to confirm that unless I check for active devices in my account settings. Can you explain why this timeout issue occurs? It seems odd, especially since Mozilla prioritizes security and privacy.

When using the the chat especially when on either of my laptops. I think it would be useful to be able to minimize/hide the chat but not have it completely close so you can stay in the same session.

In my head I see it working by adding a simple minimize button next to the close button. When it minimizes, the icon for the chat can stay highlighted to alert that it is still active. Also, when switching from chat to other options like bookmarks, history or tabs. If there is a current chat open it should use the minimize behavior so the same chat is still active when you navigate back. So essentially the only time the chat closes or resets is when you close it.

I am having trouble with signing in and syncing after making other profiles. I was under the impression that the profiles would be under one email and tried signing into two other accounts which worked but then I saw that my original profile was disconnected. When trying to re-sign in I kept getting a pop-up saying “account limit reached for this profile,” but the profile isn’t signed into anything. I signed out of the two extra profiles and deleted them. I signed out of my other devices that had the same email attached. I also went into my profile folder through “about:profiles” and deleted the 'signedInUser.json' file, cleared the cache, restarted Firefox, and even tried refreshing Firefox through the troubleshooting page. I also checked my Firefox account online and removed any connected devices before signing back in again. the only way i can sign in with the email is to create a new profile but that leaves my og- with all my bookmarks and extensions- without a way to sync.

Today when I try to access my Yahoo mail from www.yahoo.com, encountered Potential Security risk. Is this a problem encountered by others as well ? I still looking on how to report the issue to FireFox.
