Dear Firefox Support Team,

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention an issue I have encountered with CSS styling on Mozilla Firefox.

I have implemented the following CSS properties on my website to achieve a zoom effect: body {

    zoom: 70%;

} but it is not supported by Firefox.

I tried this approach: body{

 transform: scale(0.7);
 transform-origin: 0 0;

}

While this approach is supported by Firefox, I am experiencing an unexpected behavior. Instead of a smooth zoom effect, the entire website is zoomed out, and the content is shifted to the left, leaving the right side blank with a white space.

I have attached a screenshot for your reference.

I have tried various alternatives, including using the zoom property, but it seems that Firefox does not support it. I am seeking assistance in resolving this issue and ensuring a consistent and smooth zoom effect across different browsers, including Firefox.

Your guidance and support in resolving this matter would be greatly appreciated. If there are any workarounds or best practices to achieve a zoom effect without causing layout distortions, I would be eager to learn about them.

Thank you for your time and assistance. I look forward to your response.

Best regards,

I have some issue with spacebar on some sites with firefox. like in google search, the spacebar refuse to display two or more blank space in a row when the bar is pressed more than once. instead each press is added in the same blank space. means for example if i press space 4 times, only one space appear, but to delete that single blank space i need to press the "back space" key 4 times.

Similar problem with the search bar on the cookie setting (the page in preference where you can manage or delete your cookie list). several time the search bar doesn't write the letters i type. But copy/paste a text work, only keyboard doesn't work. I need to close and re-open the tab for the keyboard working again on the cookie list search bar.

On my Personal GMAIL Account…

Why can’t I locate my emails when I deselect the folder they are in? I use to be able to deselect a folder and the email would automatically go back into my inbox.

There use to be the availability to restore from my Personal GMAIL account a 30 day previous history… I would have to wait for the restoration, and every email I had in my Personal GMAIL account could be found in my INBOX. Has FIREFOX UPDATES REMOVED THESE TWO OPTIONS FROM MY PERSONAL GMAIL ACCOUNT?

if firefox is present on my computer it allows roboform to open websites but will not allow login to be completed even in microsoft edge or firefox If firefox is removed roboform works fine in microsoft I have uninstalled firefox several times and reinstalled to no effect including roboform as a FF extension

I am no longer able to log into my Capital One Venture account using Firefox. It is not a Capital One problem because I can log in using Microsoft Edge. Do I need to reconfigure something in Firefox?

GOOGLE SYNCED WITH MY FIREFOX AND REPLACED ALL OF MY BOOKMARKS AND i CANNOT GET THEM BACK AND THEY ARE FIREFOX SPECIFIC WITH PASSWORDS AND ALL. PLEASE FIX THIS. i HAVE TRIED MULTIPLE TIMES UNSUCCESSFULLY

I'm hoping the developers of Firefox see this...

There are far too many context menu items that I neither need nor use. I would like it to only show those context menu items that I make use of, but there's no way to do it. I would like to see future updates or iterations have this incorporated as part of the Settings.

I can't find any way to group windows. Yes, "windows".

I have about three dozen windows open (yes, there are a lot of tabs in them), and not just at home. And it’s hard to quickly find your bearings when you need to switch to another task (workspace). It would be nice to at least change the color of the windows, depending on the type of work. But in the API API I don’t see the ability to define a window property where you can specify a group identifier, which can be used to restore the color after re-opening FireFox.

If FireFox had a built-in or its own reliable extension for organizing thematic work, a deferred workspace (without losing the contents of windows). Arc browser - they realized that what browsers have been denying for a decade is already overdue, and they will be able to take over the market.

I tried several extensions for saving, restoring and organizing workspaces, and came to a clear conclusion: only the built-in FireFox solution for restoring windows after a crash/opening is the only truly reliable solution. There is no trust in extensions that are not supervised by a good team of developers and testers; there is a guarantee that data will be lost in the near future.

It is possible that in recent years some expansions have been completed. I'd be glad to know about it if you point it out. But here a question arises on a separate topic: improving the mechanism for rating and testing extensions, recommended extensions program.

Many pages in firefox become unresponsive for me while loading and then appear to never finish loading. The address bar remains mostly functional, but:

• the page itself responds to no clicks or scrolls
• the favicon in the tabs above the address bar is replaced with an animated loading icon and stays that way
• the refresh button to the left of the address bar becomes an X and stays that way
• the cursor icon becomes stuck (e.g. if it was a pointer, it remains a pointer no matter where on the page I move it.)

One example page where this happens is the firefox 'Get community support' forums page itself which loads when I click 'ask now': https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/get-community-support?exit_aaq=1

What's particular about my setup?

I have produced this behaviour when having no browser extensions at all, not even my password manager. I'm using firefox on Linux (Ubuntu 22.04 LTS). I found that on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, it comes installed as a snap even if I install it with `apt install firefox`, and I really needed a non-snap implementation so that I could integrate my password manager. (I'm using 1Password. To integrate the 1Password browser extension with the 1Password desktop application, I can't have firefox sandboxed by snap.) Therefore, I installed firefox as a deb package using the instructions given on https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2022/04/how-to-install-firefox-deb-apt-ubuntu-22-04:

```

1. remove the Firefox Snap:

sudo snap remove firefox

1. add the Mozilla Team PPA to your list of software sources:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/ppa

1. tell apt to prefer the PPA/deb/apt version of Firefox:

echo ' Package: * Pin: release o=LP-PPA-mozillateam Pin-Priority: 1001 ' | sudo tee /etc/apt/preferences.d/mozilla-firefox

1. tell apt to install future upgrades automatically

echo 'Unattended-Upgrade::Allowed-Origins:: "LP-PPA-mozillateam:${distro_codename}";' | sudo tee /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/51unattended-upgrades-firefox

1. install the Firefox deb using apt:

sudo apt install firefox ```

Is there a better course of action? Having this password-manager integration is essential to me.

I have had many recent issues accessing things with Firefox. A couple examples are Slack and NEUP.gov. If I try to go to NEUP.gov it never loads. If i try to log into the University of Michigan enterprise Slack, via SSO, it says 400 Bad Request.

Both of these work fine if I do them on Chrome. I also talked to Slack, and they suggested it is not on their end. I don't want to switch to Chrome, but if I can't access the sites I need to on Firefox what else can I do? Any ideas on why this is happening would be appreciated.

Hello!

I have once again returned to get some help with a problem I've been encountering for a while now.

I've been using Firefox browser for years now with no problems. When I bought a new top end PC about a year ago I've started noticing that I have problems with browsing the internet. At first I ignored it, but the problem persisted to this day and now it started driving me nuts.

When I open a random new website, or a website I haven't visited in a while I get the error message "Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site."

Then I have to refresh the page up to 10+ times, which is incredibly annoying, before it loads properly.

- my internet connection is stable, as I don't have this problem on my old PC (Windows 7, PC connected to internet with cable directly to modem) - I do not seem to have this issue with the Edge browser on new PC that came with Windows 10. I have not tried using Chrome or any other browsers - I use a Asus RT-AX55 Router, the connection to new PC is with cable. - I do not use any VPN

Some people have suggested that this could be an issue with the router's settings, but then why is the issue not present when using Edge?

Please help and advise what could I possibly do, because I have zero clue whatsoever...

Thank you kindly!

With respect,

-Jerry S.

I can not enter information into the required fields for my online banking billpay service with Firefox but works fine with Google Chrome.

I can not log on to my email with Firefox but works fine with Google Chrome.

I spent a lot of time with the online banking tech reviewing the Firefox settings but we could not find what was causing the problem.

I used THIS link to change mousewheel.with_control.action to 5, which allows for using the scroll wheel to pinch zoom. My only issue is that it is extremely cumbersome, with 3 full rotations of the wheel required for a 2x zoom. Is there any way to increase the amount per tick it zooms in by?

On my Mac (High Sierra), I can't make Tab font larger even after using jscher's great fix using about:config and devp. It worked beautifully on Linux Mint (Firefox 103) but not on Mac with Firefox 115. Will be 80 in July. Want to fix this soon . . . ha!

I am seeing a very odd behavior. Sometimes, not always, it takes two or sometimes even three clicks to go to a link, especially bookmarks for some reason. That and at times I have to click on the address bar and hit enter even if I clicked a link to go to a new site. Mostly this happens with bookmarks and history items, but not always. I have disabled hardware acceleration and my few add-ons, I even put Firefox into safe mode to try to diagnose the issue further. Unfortunately I'm still lost and the issue presists. Any thoughts?

I'm using macOS Sonoma 14.1.2 and Firefox was just installed yesterday 120.0.1. The only extensions I have are AdGuard and 1Password.

I have noticed that when it occurs, I see the reload button cycle between the X and the Reload icon for like half a second and then does nothing else until I click on it. I have checked my Internet connection and it has been stable.

Honestly I don't have a clue as to where to look to resolve this sudden issue because I've never seen it before. While testing a simple single page static web site firefox keeps loading the same page into a new tab and a rate that I cannot keep up with. In a few short minutes there are hundreds of tabs open each with the same page. I've tried cancelling Firefox, rebooted my system, even removed and reinstalled firefox all to no avail (using Linux Mint). What's interesting is that all other browsers I try do NOT do this. They all work just fine. Any thoughts, ideas, suggestions as to what might cause this and/or where to look to diagnose? Thanks in advance.

Our IT specialist at UW-Madison is stumped and suggested I reach out to Firefox. He was helping me troubleshoot why Firefox keeps saying it's sending a code to verify my account, but I never receive the code. He has added the "accounts" email to my contacts and I don't know what else to do or try. Any ideas from the community? I need my bookmarks after upgrading to Windows 11 and can't imagine trying to recreate them all.
