Pressing Alt in Firefox in Linux (Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Linux Mint 22.xx) brings up a top menu, which is hugely annoying as I'm always trying to to a window action if I'm pressing Alt.

The suggested solution is to go to about:config and change ui.key.menuAccessKeyFocuses to "false".

But this keeps reverting itself. (Between every other reboot?). Alt will again bring up this menu.

How can I permanently disable this shortcut?

Up to 126.0b9, files with encoded URLs in their filenames downloaded normally. As of 127 onward, however, it gets changed to _3A instead of %3A, etc. Is there a setting somewhere in config to revert this?

Example:

Supposed to be: test [sound=https%3A%2F%2Ffiles.catbox.moe%2Fe547nk.mp3].png Downloads as: test [sound=https_3A_2F_2Ffiles.catbox.moe_2Fe547nk.mp3].png

HI, I suddenly can't get access to my long time Printify account with the Firefox browser on my Mac. One day, yes, next day, no. I have used Firefox for years and it is my go to browser. After entering my "correct" login info, I check the Verify You Are Human box and get an immediate Failure! notice. I can sign in via Firefox on my iPhone and on my Mac with the Safari browser so it seems it has something to do with Firefox Mac browser itself. I tried to go for the forgot password scenario but it also requires the checked Human box and I get the same Failure! message. Very much need access, please help. Thanks, Don Griffin

Since firefox updated on my Win10 PC to 128.0.3 I haven't been able to play Netflix, Viaplay or other streaming services.

Youtube works fine.

I tried disabling and then re-enable DRM in Firefox settings. Nothing works.

In netflix I get the error code F7701-1003.

What is the solution?

I have had a lot of trouble using Firefox lately. I can't get to my e-mail and I can't get to my bank's website without getting a phone call which isn't always practical. My wife uses Chrome and doesn't have any problems. Am I going to have to switch to Chrome too?

The new Shiny for Python 1.0.0 seems to be incompatible with Firefox. I made this dummy app:

• • • Start of code ***

from shiny import App, render, ui, reactive from pathlib import Path

app_ui = ui.page_fillable(

   ui.panel_title(
       ui.row(
       ui.column(6, ui.h1("title1")),
       ui.column(6, ui.h1("title2"))
       )
   ),
   ui.layout_sidebar(
       ui.sidebar(
           ui.input_text("input_text1", "input_text1", value=""),
           ui.input_text("input_text2", "input_text2", value=""),
           ui.input_text("input_text3", "input_text3", value=""),
           ui.input_text("input_text4", "input_text4", value=""),
           ui.input_text("input_text5", "input_text5", value=""),

           ui.input_selectize("input_selectize1", "input_selectize1", choices=["1", "2"]),
           ui.input_numeric("input_numeric1", "input_numeric1", value=4),
           ui.input_numeric("input_numeric2", "input_numeric2", value=8),

           ui.input_numeric("input_numeric5", "input_numeric5", value=1),
           ui.input_switch("input_switch1", "input_switch1", value=False),
           ui.input_switch("input_switch2", "input_switch2", value=False),
           ui.input_switch("input_switch3", "input_switch3", value=False),
           ui.input_action_button("input_action_button1", "input_action_button1"),
           ui.input_action_button("input_action_button2", "input_action_button2", disabled=True),
           width="350px"
       ),
       ui.layout_columns(
           ui.card(
               ui.card_header("card_header1"),
               ui.output_data_frame("card1"),
               full_screen=True
           ),
           ui.card(
               ui.card_header("card_header2"),
               ui.output_data_frame("card2"),
               full_screen=True
           ),
           col_widths=[12, 12]
       )
   )

)

def server(input, output, session):

   @reactive.event(input.input_action_button1)
   def reactive_function1():
       pass

   @output
   @render.data_frame

src_dir = Path(__file__).parent / "src" app = App(app_ui, server, static_assets=src_dir)

• • • End of code ***

Then I started it and opened it with Safari (left) and Firefox (right).

With Shiny for Python 0.10.2 both browsers seem fine (click the link for a screenshot): https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/c1a40577-6341-40c5-b952-7fb99cb3330e

But as soon as I switch to Shiny for Python 1.0.0, Firefox fails, but Safari is still able to display: https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/6fbc60a6-2487-4195-a7c3-a326bdfc7373

Not sure, if this is of any use, but I can "expand" the sidebar in Firefox leading to this: https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/4f2d318f-809b-463d-9c99-7c2a8670397d

Any ideas, what's wrong? Can I fix this in my code or does this need to be fixed by the devs?

I can't seem to figure this out on my own so i'm hoping someone here can help.

I have some unwanted emails showing up as suggested when i right click on a browser tab and select "share" and i don't know how to find where they are saved on the browser to be able to delete them so they're no longer auto-suggested. Right clicking on the suggested email doesn't show any options and they are not saved in auto-fill either.

Havent tried deleting all cookies/history, but im not sure if that would help.. Anyone have any ideas?

Attn: To whom it may concern @Fire Fox Mozilla My desktop version is macOS Ventura 13.6.7 your Fire Fox browser goes to the Mac-browser 115. The reason that I'm inquiring is I have to constantly have reload or restart the page again it is slowing

me down. Because if this continues I may have change browsers.

I have a recurring problem, just started a few weeks ago. It comes and goes. I try to play netflix videos and get the message "Firefox is installing components need to play audio or video." I can't tell anything is being installed. I've tried purging cache, restarting firefox, restarting my computer. Windows 10. Firefox version 128.0.3 (64-bit)

I created this thread about year ago Make Firefox android default for google assistant, shortcuts, but I missed the last response by Paul.

"If you search the Settings app for "default", you should see "default digital assistant app" as one of the results."

Sorry Paul.

I found the settings for the app with, but the app itself isn't the listed under apps.

I was able to make Firefox the default, but in partnership with what? With Firefox as the "default", Google Assistant is deactivated.

I first mentioned this in r/Firefox, and was asked to re-post here.

My FF just updated to 127.0.1 even though I have "Check for updates but let you choose to install them" and told it to wait. This was on a Windows 11 box. Everything seemed fine, but then one of my tabs crashed. I selected the reload tab option, at which point it informed me it could not load the tab because a background update had happened and I was now required to restart Firefox.

I'm not certain what version of FF I was on, I believe it was either 126 or 126.0.1.

Now, to be completely fair, I cannot with 100% certainty say that I clicked on the update later option. That said, as I _did not want to update then_, and I have put off the update before, it seems unlikely I would have made the mistake, but I wasn't recording everything I did so I can't play it back and prove it. My initial reaction was to associate it with the tab crashing somehow, as everything was working as expected right up until that moment.

Thanks

I use a ThinkPadNotebook with Windows. While surfing with Firefox, in a careless moment I clicked "allow" at a notification request of a suspicious website (qltuh.check-tl-ver-116-1.com). After this a few other websites opened up rapidly and soon after notification at the bottom right corner of the screen appeared. I immediately went offline and deactivated the corresponding permission for notifications in firefox. In particular, I did not follow any link displayed on the bottom right notifications.

My question is: Did simply granting permission of notification to this webiste create a security risk on my desktop? Or can I rest assured, since I revoked the permission and in the meantime did not follow any links displayed by the notification?

Thanks for help and clarification!

This is an annoying issue because I frequently have multiple windows opened on multiple monitors. If I close the window that has all the tabs and open a new instance of firefox, the pinned tabs disappear. Such an awfull design. The pinned tabs should replicate to all other opened windows and stay pinned until the user manually unpins them.

Other software I use show a logo in the upper left window corner or program name in the title bar or both. Firefox and MS Edge show neither. When both are open I can't tell from a glance which is which. If I remember correctly, in days gone by Firefox showed its logo in the title bar. Is there any setting to turn this on?

I have attached several screen shots to describe the problem I have been experiencing with FireFox and E-trade (only). The problem started 2 days ago.

Window 11 - current Firefox - current 128.0.3 (64-bit)

The screen error that I am getting for the last two days is shown in attch #1

Looking at attch #2, the error occurs when I select any of the optional links starting with "Chart" and all other links that follow; the 1st two links are:

"Charts" link is https://us.etrade.com/e/t/invest/wsoddirect?wsod_page=/v1/stocks/charts/charts.asp?symbol=MS "News" link is https://us.etrade.com/e/t/invest/wsoddirect?wsod_page=/v1/stocks/news/search_results.asp?symbol=MS

All other equity stock main screens have the same problem.

Googling the error presented these suggestions (but nothing fixed the problem>) In Firefox Settings I have - cleared Cookies with "All Data" - HTTPS-only Mode is"disabled"; - "Enable DNS over HTTPS" is default Protection

Not sure what else to try. No problems occur with Chrome.

Suggestions? Bob
