Hi there,

I am using Fennec from F-Droid (build 1340020). I noticed that many Brahmic scripts on webpages are shown as boxes. I don't recall seeing this in early versions maybe years ago.

Notably all major scripts in India like Devanagari, Tamil, Telugu can not be rendered. However, Odia and Sinhala scripts are shown fine. Outside India, Tibetan script cannot be rendered either. However, SEA scripts like Thai, Burmese are fine.

Moreover, if I copy these boxes to the search bar, the actual content can be shown. The tab view can also show the title of the webpage correctly in Bramic scripts. And if I change the locale in the settings, the UI of Fennec app can also properly display the scripts.

To further debug, I went to the about:config and search for fonts. Unlike western or CJK scripts, the value of font.default of Bramic scripts is serif rather than san-serif. The default value of font.name-list of these Bramic scripts are just Noto Sans or Noto Serif. I tried to switch between serif and san-serif but got no luck.

I was wondering how to fix this issue. Thanks!

for about a month my firefox home screen is greyed out in the "thought provoking stories" and it is continuously flashing. Everything works, ie. I can still search the net, etc. but this is driving me crazy. I have tried everything from checking settings, through extension conflicts and resetting, but nothing makes any difference. I even uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox but it came back with the same problem. i have windows 10 and am getting ready to upgrade to 11, but I would like everything working as it should before doing the upgrade. I even tried to change my profile, but I'm not sure how to do it and it made no difference. Any help will be much appreciated.

Audio on videos played over bluetooth has regular skips and occasional severe stuttering. Sounds like a dirty record. Audio through phone's speaker not affected. It's not a device or connection problem, nor is it site specific. Stopping/restarting FF and clearing cache have no effect.

Hello,

I am to the point of frustration that I may have to swap Firefox being my primary browser. No matter whether I click a link in an email or I type the web address manually, the page is crashing. I checked for updates, closed the browser and re-opened. I cannot figure out why every web page is crashing. I am not having this issue with any other browser.

I hope you will have helpful input.

Translations

Hi.

We know that Google has its own and it's easier, but isn't it expected that Firefox will have an integrated translator?

Thanks.

Recently when I try to go to several websites I get a variation of this message below. I usually have to wait 2-3 days before I can try and open that link again. Why is this happening? This is for sites like NYTimes.com, Etsy.com, and more.


You have been blocked. Why? Something about the behaviour of the browser has caught our attention. There are various possible explanations for this:

   You are browsing and clicking at a speed much faster than expected of a human being.
   Something is preventing JavaScript from working on your computer.
   There is a robot on the same network (IP address is here) as you.

I seem to have an intermittent issue on a laptop with webpages not updating after the initial load if there is more to load.

To give an example, if I go to https://www.milkandmore.co.uk/dairy/c/yoghurt on the laptop, most of the time, it will only display 12 of the 26 items and not show the rest when I scroll down.

Works fine in chrome and edge though and when I scroll down to the 12th item, it loads up the rest every time. It will do so intermittently on firefox.

Hope that's explained alright.

Firefox is up to date. Tried disabling autoscroll and smooth scrolling but no joy.

Firefox has a very useful page called Protections Dashboard. However I have noticed that when I clear out Firefox's history (which I do periodically) it will also erase all the data at the Protections Dashboard. Is there a way to configure Firefox so that I can clear out the browser history and still retain the data at Protections Dashboard?
