I'm not sure whether i am in the correct forum. I have successfully copied to a USB stick the bookmarks from my old PC but, although I can open the html file and see them, I cannot see how to present them in the bookmarks menu. I am not recognising a simple "import" option such as I found with passwords. What am I missing

I’ve been using Firefox with a screen reader, and while it works for most basic browsing, I’ve noticed some issues with certain sites. For example, form fields aren’t always announced properly, and sometimes navigation landmarks are skipped. When I test the same pages in Chrome, the experience feels smoother.

I’d like to keep using Firefox, so I’m wondering — is there something I can adjust in my settings to improve screen reader support? Or is this more of a compatibility issue that needs to be reported as a bug?

If others here use screen readers with Firefox, I’d love to know what has worked for you. Are there specific add-ons, preferences, or troubleshooting steps that make accessibility better?

Thanks in advance for any guidance.

I have already unchecked the smooth scrolling setting. i have also tried with and without auto scrolling. This problem is only on firefox on my laptop. My desktop PC firefox does not have this problem, and no other program on my laptop is doing this. when i scroll with my mouse wheel, the page keeps moving for like a whole second after i stop turning the scroll wheel, like lingering movement. I Hate It and it didnt use to do this. I want the pages to stop moving way sooner and stop sliding around!!! My problem that toggling the 'use smooth scrolling' setting does literally nothing and its driving me crazy. wtf is this and how can i fix it

Hi everyone,

I’ve run into a weird issue with my website, https://goldenretrieverguides.com/ . Some of the images don’t load properly in Firefox, but they display just fine in Chrome and Edge. I've checked caching, image formats (mostly JPG and PNG), and even tried clearing the browser cache.

I’m using WordPress with an image optimization plugin, and the site is SSL-enabled. Could this be a security or compatibility issue specific to Firefox? Any suggestions on what I should look into or debug?

Thanks in advance!

Firefox 141.0 slow and glitchy on dynamic sites, 140.x and other browsers not affected

Since updating to Firefox 141.0 (Win11), I've had issues with performance and on-screen behaviour of dynamic web pages/sites. The problems do not manifest on Chrome, or on a reinstalled version of Fx 140.0.4 on the same computer running at the same time (and with copy of original profile's data files, extensions etc.), they do manifest on a new Firefox 141.0 profile with only one tab open.

The problem happens on dynamic pages (e.g. gmail.com, boardgamearena.com/lobby) but doesn't seem to happen on static pages. Note that this doesn't depend on page elements moving around the visible window (e.g. panels opening and closing).

The manifesting problems:

  • Screen pointer rapidly switching between standard arrow pointer, mouse with index finger (clickable link) and serifed-style insertion bar, even when positioned on a part of the page that is not a link or a text box. Video (MP4, <1MB) showing behaviour at https://imgur.com/a/absjTh4.
  • Browser intermittently fails to respond to browser actions (mouse clicks, keyboard entry)
  • Small increase in browser CPU usage

Problem is worse if general CPU usage (from other applications) is already high - low CPU usage reduces but doesn't eliminate the problem. (Established by changing my BOINC settings and/or snoozing BOINC and observing; I have a gadget that monitors CPU and other resource usage.)

The fact that I can see the problem occurring on Fx 141 but have Fx 140.0.4 working fine at the same time on the same page, suggests that this is a Fx 141 issue. Regular malware scanner and an alternate found no issues.

Happy to do more diagnostic testing if it's helpful.
