Hello all,

I am using Cambridge Dictionary regularly. In that site, when I try to listen how a word is spelled in the US, the last part of the word is not spelled. For example, I am trying to learn how to say " strut ", in the UK version, I hear it completely. But for the US version, I hear "stru" with no t sound. This happens for each word and this problem only occurs in Mozilla Firefox both in Android and on Windows. Is there a way to solve this or I will completely stop using Firefox as I need to use this dictionary very regularly.

I am wondering if I need to change settings or if something else is wrong. Website continuously fail to load. Firefox is my default browser and when I use an email link is just spins! When I try to open FaceBook or games I use, I get a message that it is taking too long to load. This is a new problem since updating. I can't help but think there is a connection.

For the last few days when I am on the web using Firefox, my android screen is displaying large print - like it is zoomed in. There is no way to fix this. Assuming this is a result of your last fix/update. This needs to be addressed. This is not an issue with any other browser

When using Firefox on Android for a while, attempting to use pinch to zoom on a web site will cause Android to crash, as in the screen will go black, the G logo animation will appear, and I'll be sent back to the lock screen. It's not just the app that crashes. It doesn't seem to be a full reboot as that takes longer and starts with a different animation, but some part of Android is restarting.

It's consistent but not predictable. Pinch to zoom will work on one site fine and then crash on the same site later. It seems to be a resource issue as it's unlikely to happen on a fresh instance and it becomes more likely the longer you've been using Firefox.

This has been happening for several months, since at least July. It's happened both on my old Pixel 6 Pro and my new Pixel 9 Pro. It's happened on both Android 14 and 15.

I eventually found out I could go to Settings > About Firefox > Crashes and get some debugging info, but I don't know what to do with it. I currently have 15 crashes between now and Oct 16th which all say:

java.lang.RuntimeException: Adding window failed

Clicking Share to get more info on the latest one adds:

java.lang.RunetimeException: Adding window failed

at android.view.ViewRootImpl.setView(ViewRootImpl.java:1596)
... 18 more

I don't know what to do with this info. Should I file a Bugzilla report with just this? The GUID associated with the most recent one is 7a5e5497-bb62-4e3c-94fc-5c63c51d0830. I can't look it up in crash-stats.mozilla.org. Or should I assume all crash reports are automatically received? I'd still like to be able to have a Bugzilla bug to watch for progress.

Since Firefox nowdays is Multilanguage,but the downside is that when I choose one language( let us say English- UK or US).

Every time I visit any site it automaticly associate every site as if I were in England( or US). This also include ( based on my search history) that it also via default search for English websites. Since lagre multilanguage corporations have local websites as well.


But however in older versions it never had this issues. However for me it's quite disturbing( annoying). Since I myself live in Sweden( and isn't so interested of what happends in the states or england) Can some one please change( make correction).

Hello Recently I’ve been unable to use PayPal links when attempting to check out from any retail website while using FireFox for iOS. When I click the “PayPal” option in the cart it opens a new tab but nothing happens and the tab and browser bar in the new tab reads “about:blank” This did not used to be a problem. This problem has occurred with any retail site I’ve attempted to check out of recently. My browser is up to date and I’ve already tried clearing my entire browsing history as well as uninstalling and reinstalling FireFox. I’ve reviewed every setting I can find and the other (older) articles I’ve found about this issue reference the desktop version and selecting options such as “Advanced” which aren’t present in the iOS version. Hopefully you can provide some ideas. Thanks!

My checks are not printing properly. The recipient's name and amount of check shows but the written out amount of check is missing. Is there some setting that can fix this?
