I'm a writer who relies heavily on instant access to Dictionary by Merriam-Webster. I recently got a new laptop and the dictionary will not load. It eventually will load but in a truncated looking format that is not useful. It works fine if I use Microsoft Explorer. I have cleared my cache but it still will not load and I have no trouble with anything else. This is super inconvenient. Is there some setting for Dictionary I'm missing?

After downloading the latest update this morning in desperation, Firefox crashed on first character of the primary password again and again and again. This time, started new tab, tried to type L into the address line and Firefox crashed AGAIN. Eventually, I have found that if I open a new tab and input a character into the address bar, I get one of three results. a) I input L and an L appears. If that happens, I can go on to use Firefox. b) I input L and get a totally random character appear. Could be S, or £ or $ or something else. In which case, I can't use Firefox. c) Firefox crashes.

Whoa, that sounds really severe. When this happens, is the Mozilla Crash Reporter dialog coming up? If so, you can share your crash reports with Mozilla Support volunteers for feedback on what might be causing that. See: https://support.mozilla.org/kb/firefox-crashes-asking-support

Yes, this is the 6th attempt to start Firefox and keep it going beyond the first keystroke input. I keep restarting till it works. I do not do anything else except restart, then try to input a keystroke. I can copy and paste and all is well till I hit enter or some other keystroke. It sucks and the Firefox team must be getting mad at the crash reports. Taking out all the plugins didn't help, and neither did restart in safe mode. I just keep getting the same problem.

hi, i formatted my laptop, downloaded firefox, signed in and my old data didnt show up, i clicked sync but nothing changed. all my old passwords are lost and thee is no history before today.

Why is there no option to change the global font within the browser? Why does it ignore my computer's 125% scaling? Unless I'm simply missing an option, this browser is horribly inaccessible and its honestly upsetting. Not everyone can function with a toolbar at 10 pt font. I can't, and I need a browser that cares enough to let me change it. I stopped using Firefox a nearly a decade ago as my vision became more of a barrier. When I decided to switch from Edge to a different browser, my partner recommended I try Firefox again. Still horrible.

I know there are some fancy workarounds I've seen people use, but the fact you don't have any native accessibility settings is ableist, as not all disabled users are also coders. Do better, Mozilla.

Hello there!

I've been trying to troubleshoot the previously mentioned website: https://api.battlefront.dice.se because it will not properly sync in data from the base PC / Console game.

I opened up the browser console tool on the section that's having issues and found multiple error messages (some of which I attached below) as well as a large amounts of warnings. (select ones also attached below.) There are also more warnings of various kinds when I enter web dev tools and look at console.

I have a friend with an old 4th generation iPad and he was able to get the sync to work successfully, so my guess is it has some scripts that modern browsers / operating systems think are "unsafe" and won't allow them to process. I've tried using older versions of Firefox but that didn't fix the problem. My question is does anyone know of a way I can "fix" the website so that it will have full functionality again or alternatively is there a way to bypass those measures and allow the website to work as intended?

Please let me know if you can help or need more information and thanks in advance!

Hi, To start exporting Firefox Password Data to a file, the "Login data of the Windows User Account" has to be entered (pls. refer to attachment). What is meant by "Windows User Account"? Thanks so much for your help. Hans - presently in Munich, Bavaria, Germany

PS: I'm using the German Version of Firefox - so I translated back to English.

I've been through the about:config settings for browser.sessionstore and as far as I can tell there's no reason for this behavior. Basically, I can restore closed tabs by right-clicking the top bar and selecting the option, but the ctrl + shift + t shortcut is incredibly inconsistent. Sometimes it works as intended and sometimes the only way to reopen those tabs is the right-click menu. Does anyone else have this issue? I've not seen any posts about it.

After signing up for an account I am getting bombarded by emails from Mozilla. I follow the links for "unsubscribe" and "manage your communication preferences" within each email, as well as going through "Manage Account" from the Firefox browser. All paths lead to: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/newsletter/existing/ Which says: Something is amiss with our system, sorry! Please try again later. This has been the case now for over a week, so I assume it's not the system. I have tried multiple browsers, I always get the same message.

Double Fs, "ff", do not show up on my Firefox browser. More specifically, on Greenhouse job applications. I believe I have seen it in other instances on Firefox, but most notably on Greenhouse. Google seems to be fine. This website seems to be fine. I visited the same Greenhouse link on Chrome, and the "ff"s appeared. How do I fix this?

Why is Autofill for cards and addresses not available in sweden... what is this madness. I will revert back to chrome if it isnt fixed

how isnt it fixed already ????

My issue is that I have various devices on my network but I am unable to access them using username and password via a browser. for example I have a birdbox camera using 192.168.1.20, I am then asked for user name 'admin' password which is 'null' and on every device on network I am told that password or username are wrong. They are not?

I am using a dreytek router and addresses are bound in and on a mac. But it is the same issue on windows and any browser. could it be a router setting?

Thanks

Frank

How on earth do I update my Mozilla Firefox, I cannot play my Apple TV or Amazon Prime, which I am paying for, until I update it! I have tried really hard but am 78 and it's not happening!

My passwords are different in my Windows and Iphone versions of Firefox. How do I make sure they are all up to date please? Many thanks - this causes me lots of problems when I am travelling. Tony Dearsley

I initially had trouble because a website for school, called Wiley,com, or Wiley Plus, was having trouble. Specifically, i could most things and when I would attempt to open a homework assignment, Id get an error. According to my professor, it was a Firefox issue, and he was right, when I went to Google, which I hate, it worked just fine. Then slowly, there were more problems opening up my school website or my bitwarden extension would have issues. So today, I finally uninstalled, and reinstalled. Which, unfortunately, I have had to do with Firefox twice before. Frustrating, but I hate Google enough that I chalked it up. Then, after this most current reinstall, it completely screwed things up with my bitwarden extension and bitwarden themselves, because for some reason, Firefox is sending weird info that freaks websites out. Outside of the extensions, it often cant open sites, or sites tell me something is happening. I have Norton and have scanned my device repeatedly, and gone so far as to contact them and my computer is clean. What...is going on. I STILL haven't sorted out the Bitwarden fiasco and have had to contact their support, but honestly, the problem CAME from the firefox browser. I dont know how to fix this

I have that issue also it shows up anytime I try PNC.com or my health care insurance. The workaround is using Firefox's private window. I removed my saved login and dumped my data, cookies, site data, and cache but that didn't help. That has been a pain restoring other sites I had saved, but that's another story.

  See image for error message.
