I wrote this on 13 June 2022: ...I am signed into a Firefox account. I have used this account on at least three different computers. I have downloaded the application anew at least a dozen times.

Firefox randomly, from where I sit, opens things in French rather than English. How can I keep it in English unless otherwise specified (I occasionally want German or Japanese)?

Thank you...

None of the suggestions worked. I reported that, but the thread was archived rather than answered.

How can I get all the info out of my account and try to start another that speaks English reliably?

Thank you.

When I open emails many times the letters are gibberish. The letters are changed into symbols and weird looking letters. Sometimes closing Firefox and reopening helps, but usually I have to restart my computer. Even then, it may or may not be readable. Some emails are only partially this way, but most are complete gibberish. Has been happening for a few months. I have updated Firefox and am running the newest update. I am using Microsoft 365 email. Other computers in the same office do not have this issue. Any ideas how to fix this?

Scrambled Fonts: I see that many people have this issue. I am unable to resolve this. Starting in safe mode fixes the issue temporarily, but I am tired of this. As Firefox is the default browser throughout all my Apple Macs in my studio, I need to resolve this bug. I have also checked Safari and Chrome to verify this is a Firefox issue. The other browsers do not scramble fonts, and I have found no helpful topic article that can fix this.

Before I jump to Chrome as my default browser, I thought I would contact support to see if this can be salvaged.

There is a bug when I try to make a video (Twitch, Youtube, ...) go full screen. I click in the full screen button and the video does not expand to the edges of the screen (the screen is shrunk slightly). There is a fix, but it requires the user to put the Firefox window in full screen and then put the video in full screen.

The other web browsers on my mac does not have this issue.

I searched for this issue and found one other reporting about this several years ago when quantum was first released - supposedly it was fixed. But it's still present here.

Firefox 113.0.2, MacOS Ventura 13.4

Why am I suddenly getting notifications with a tone appearing in the upper right corner of my screen from various entities like supermarkets, NextDoor, etc? This just started happening.

I often restore tabs and browser sessions using the Tab Session Manager addon, with lazy loading and the discarded property enabled.

This loads tabs quickly with their favicons, but sometimes it fails to load certain tabs and loads new tab pages in their place instead which gets really frustrating. I could turn off the discarded property, but then it loads the page again and adds an entry to my browsing history which I don't want, it doesn't when the property is on. If I turn it off entirely then all the tabs would load, and too many at once would lag my computer.

Sometimes though, Firefox just doesn't load favicons and I want to load them manually. I'd like a way to load the favicon for a tab without loading the whole page.

As of a week or two ago I can no longer save URLs to bookmarks folders in my bookmarks toolbar. I can drag and drop it but nothing happens, does not save in that folder. Neither can I save a URL via clicking on the star then choosing a folder. Doesn't stick in the folder. How can I fix this.

Firefox DE set as the default browser. When clicking an external link, a new window is opened with one tab, the URL address bar is blank. Restarting in troubleshooting mode does exhibits the same behaviour.

If anyone else can duplicate this issue I will file a Bugzilla report.
