(Categorized as "accessibility" because I feel this is a vision-related issue - if I mistagged the topic please correct me... I don't know where aesthetic issues go.)

Image 1 is how the file explorer looks with a lighter Firefox theme (my main one), Image 2 is with a slightly darker theme. Both are primarily light blue, so I'm not sure why this has happened.

I have my computer and most websites I use on dark mode because I have an easier time reading white on black or dark grey than I do black on white when it gets later in the day. I want to be able to have the darker file explorer with my theme of choice, since light mode kind of burns my eyes...

Is this a new feature added in the most recent update, or something? I haven't had this issue prior to today - if it's a new thing, is there a way to turn off the light file explorer so that I don't have to change themes?

If I have two or more tabs open it happens very often that all tabs which are not in use are closed independently by the browser. At the same time Firefox independently creates bookmarks from some closed tabs in the bookmark toolbar. I always use the latest version of the brwoser and no extensions. I would be grateful for a solution. Thanks!

Lately every time I use FireFox, it will crash. Also there is one web page, resortcams.com that Firefox will either crash or lock up my PC so that I have to reboot the PC. Using another browser, DuckDuckGO, I have no issues viewing this web page. I checked with resortcams and they found no issues on their end. This problem has just recently occurred, las t couple of months. I use MicroTrend as my antivirus and Microsoft Bing as my search engine. I am running Windows 10. My PC can not run Windows 11. Any suggestions as to what the problem might be. Thank you, Grant Olson

When I had a website open, there was an asterisk (I think) to the right of the address box, if I clicked it a new search box opened alongside the original. That asterix seems to have disappeared & I don't know how to get it back. Please can you help?

My current browser is Google but don't know the operating system.

I am experiencing intermittent but frequent AMDGPU crashes when displaying my homeassistant Lovelace dashboard in Firefox. This issue does not occur in FF under Windows (dual boot). Issue occurs only on this web page and when tab is active. When issue occurs GUI becomes unresponsive for a few seconds and comes back again.

Chromium and homeassistant compananion app Butler do not have this issue.

Although not a serious issue I can work around, I am interested to find the root cause of this issue. Would that be FF, or the AMDGPU modules? Or a combination. Is there anything I can log in FF when this happends? FYI, system is fully up-to-date.

When I use Firefox, I use CTRL key combinations to cut, copy, paste, and delete. I also use F5 to refresh a webpage.

Firefox uses many, many other key combinations and hotkeys, and a great number of them have caused the instant erasure of all the hours of work I had done on a webpage: The browser jumps to another tab, or it goes fullscreen (one of the Function keys does this), or it opens a new window, or it opens a History window, or it does any number of things which I neither want nor need.

I require only to use the key combinations and hotkeys to perform the functions that I have listed, above. But if I must sacrifice them in an overall disable, then I will do so.

Please tell me how to disable the key combination commands and hotkeys in Firefox.

What happened? Very odd bug here. I have a UAD Apollo Audio interface. My mac audio is routed to Apolos virtual 1-2 Channels. You can see the Audio Midi settings in the uploaded image.

Using Twitch there are some streams that play out of the wrong channels. For instance on one stream (https://www.twitch.tv/datto) the audio plays out of only the left side UAD Apollo Mon-L (the left channel of Apollos monitoring channel which is not virtual channel 1-2 my current Mac routing, but Monitor 1 only. Not even Monitor channel 2).

On other stream (https://www.twitch.tv/aztecross) it works correctly. I've tested on other browser including ARC and there was no issue. I've ran the troubleshooting mode and the issue is still present. I even changed my UAD Apollos to the normal Mon L-R channels and the issue is still present.

I'm wondering if Firefox has some issue with multichannel audio interfaces or audio interfaces in general?

I attached 2 images of my UAD console. You can see in the first image that on the MAC Channel there is no audio coming through while watching the Datto twitch stream. But you can see on the L monitor (all the way to the right) there is audio.

On the second image is a Aztecross twitch stream and audio is passing through the MAC channel correctly.

Any idea what is happening here?

Reproducible? I have checked that this issue is reproduced on Firefox, Firefox Nightly, Zen Browser.

What platform are you seeing the problem on? macOS - aarch64

The first image speaks for itself. When I want to change the way this setting is set in a Facebook group, when Firefox is full screen, the associated dialog is so placed and/or sized on the screen that it is partially truncated on the left by the left side of the display. I just checked in MS Edge and it displays normally there with full screen display. It displays normally in Firefox when I Restore Down. So this one at least does seem to be specific to Firefox.

I have a second full screen display issue that may be related, but this one isn't just Firefox; Ms Edge also shows it, and other applications also behave similarly: the right hand scroll bar disappears in full screen (as does the applicaion menu control)! I had some trouble taking a pair of images to illustrate this, using Snipping Tool. The second image, when Firefox is set to restore Down, shows the scroll bar and application menu control, which is what I see. The third image was more tricky to take because the first time I tried, the screen capture included a scroll bar and application menu control even though they were not visible on screen. I had to redo it and be very careful not to let the right hand side of the selection drift off the right hand side of the display.

It seems like the full screen display is just a little "larger" than the physical display. I have tried one or two other screen resolution settings and that has not helped. My best guess is that it's a monitor settings problem, but I've also fiddled with the monitor settings, again with no success. And even if a monitor setting explains the pervasive right hand side issue, it doesn't explain the Facebook dialogue issue, which does appear to be Firefox-specific.

So my current workaround is just not to have anything full screen :(

Why won't Firefox open any new windows? I give ir the command to open a window and yet all i get are tabs and I never click on open a tab. I have an HP probook this for windows 10 and i am also having the same problem with Chrome. I have uninstalled and reinstalled chrome and that did not fix it so it is not that. What would cause this? I have already cleared the cache cookies history browsing etc. and nothing is fixing it. PLEASE HELP.

once in a while firefox forces me to double click everything. This does not apply to the top of the window: tabs, URL bar, bookmarks toolbar, extensions all work fine. But everything in the webpage requires a double click. This includes selecting text. A restart makes it go away.

The only extensions I had in use when this happened were uBlock origin, proton pass, and SponsorBlock. Switching into troubleshoot mode fixed it, but after switching back into normal mode it was still fixed, so I can't say that the extensions cause the issue.

I would have just commented on [this related thread](https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1038784), but it's archived. I never understood the point of archiving a thread. From now until the end of time when people find that thread when googling their issue, there's no way to give them new information. At least in a github issue it can still include a link to other threads that have mentioned it.

I am running firefox 132.0.2 (aarch64) on macos 15.0 (24A335).

I have a local HTML/Javascript document I use for compressing local image files. It relies on HTMLCanvasElement.toBlob() to achieve the compression in the usual way; a pertinent excerpt:

                   const output = document.getElementById("outputDiv");
                   const blobURL = URL.createObjectURL(file);
                   const img = new Image();
                   img.src = blobURL;
                   // ...
                   img.onload = function () {
                       URL.revokeObjectURL(this.src);
                       const canvas = document.createElement("canvas");
                       canvas.width = img.width;
                       canvas.height = img.height;
                       const ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
                       ctx.drawImage(img, 0, 0, img.width, img.height);
                       canvas.toBlob(
                           (blob) => {
                               const anchor = document.createElement("a");
                               anchor.download = getNewFileName(file.name); /* uses extension .webm for .webm, .jpg for everything else */
                               anchor.href = URL.createObjectURL(blob);
                               anchor.textContent = "DOWNLOAD";
                               output.append(anchor);
                           },
                           mime,  /* set earlier based on file extension: .webm -> "image/webm", everything else -> "image/jpeg"
                           quality / 100    /* (user-specified) */
                       );
                   };

Here's the quirky thing, though: when I'm compressing, say, a .jpeg file (or a .png), clicking on the download link opens a save-file dialog, but when using a .webm file, it opens the compressed image in a new tab! True, I can always then save the image from there (the resulting file is in Firefox's temp folder), but I don't understand the difference in behavior -- and indeed, in at least one other browser I tried (the latest Vivaldi) the download happens as expected regardless of input file type. In all cases the anchor hrefs look like, e.g., "blob:null/724ab85e-53ba-4890-9868-7f1ba27d4278".

Any idea why this is happening? I highly doubt it's the intended behavior.

Browser: Firefox 132.0.2 for Windows. Environment: Windows 10 Home 22H2 version 10.0.19045.

Have way too many tabs open 20- 30. On tab 27. (near the right end of the tab bar) Move mouse to switch tabs. Before the preview thumbnail appears the tab bar scrolls to the left, selects a random tab and changes focus to that tab.

example. Have a bunch of tabs open looking for a new vacuum cleaner, makers web sites and views. Get a call from my mother-in law, problem with her computer. Have bunch of pages open, stackoverflow, reddit etc. Find a solution that looks similar to a page on a previous tab. Move mouse over a tab and before the preview thumbnail appears the tab bar scroll to the left changes focus to a vacuum cleans manufacture page.

Its not jumping to a duplicate of a page. I have no idea if its jumping back 10 tabs or 15 tabs. It never jumps to the first tab. I don't have my hands on the keyboard. Not touching the mouse scroll wheel.

Help!!!!
