When Fox News has a new article and I click on it to read, I now get a 500 Error over a blank page. Is there a way to correct this? It has never happened before and only seems to have appeared in the last update of last week.

Sometimes I want to enter arbitrary IPA strings into websites from my phone. I've tried finding a privacy-respecting way to conveniently do this and the best way I've found so far is to use the app Unicode Keyboard by Tim Wunderlich, available on the Google Play Store, and enter the code point for the IPA letters or diacritics I want. This works in every other app, but in Firefox, there are two characters I can't enter this way - the combining grave diacritic U+0300 and the combining acute diacritic U+0301. Even other combining diacritica work. I like researching and talking about linguistics and conlanging online, and sometimes this involves using those diacritics to mark tones. This is such an odd specific incapability for Firefox to have but it has persisted, since at least as far back as 2024. I've just had to enter those diacritics in another app and copy&paste them in. I can enter the diacritics directly as keyboard input in Firefox on Windows and GNU/Linux.

Issue Accessing Membership Anywhere Services in Firefox

I’m currently experiencing an issue when trying to use Membership Anywhere through the Firefox browser. Membership Anywhere is a digital membership management platform that many organizations use to manage memberships, events, and member interactions efficiently. While the site works fine on other browsers, certain features, like logging in, accessing the member dashboard, or completing payments, do not function correctly in Firefox.

Specifically, I notice that some pages fail to load completely, and certain interactive elements, such as buttons or form submissions, don’t respond. I have tried clearing the cache, disabling extensions, and updating Firefox to the latest version, but the issue persists. This problem is affecting not just my access but could impact other users of Firefox who rely on Membership Anywhere for managing their memberships digitally.

I wanted to check if there is any known compatibility issue between Firefox and Membership Anywhere, or if there are specific settings or security features in Firefox that could interfere with this platform. I would greatly appreciate guidance on how to resolve this issue so that I can continue using Membership Anywhere smoothly without switching to another browser.

When I log in to my Apple tv account on the Firefox browser, it comes up, but won't play the selected program. All other streaming services I subscribe to work fine on Firefox, as did Apple tv until this week. If I try running Apple tv on Google chrome on the same lap top, it works fine too. Ditto on my iPhone using Safari. I'd prefer staying on Firefox to stream Apple tv, but can't make it work at the present time. Can you help?

Hi there,

I am trying to access this site: https://unabridged.merriam-webster.com/ I am logged in on the site with my membership, which is up to date.

But whenever I try to search a word, it redirects me to the login page. I can only assume that something is wrong with my cookies, privacy settings, and extensions in Firefox. After having cleared my cache, allowed cookies for the site in question, and messed around a bit more with my settings, the problem persists.

This is not happening for any other sites. Can you help? Thank you!

I can't sign in to gmail as I used to for years. (It works ok when I use Private Browsing, but that's inconvenient.)

WHAT USED TO HAPPEN: when I was at the sign in page, my password manager (Dashlane) filled in the username and then a screen asking to use the passkey. I said yes, and got in to Google with no problem.

NOW: the password manager fills in my username (my name at gmail.com) and when I hit "NEXT" in the sign in field I get email or phone l.com When I click in the field that disappears and my username appears. When I hit NEXT it goes back to "email or phone l.com". Same when I hit return. Same when I enter my phone number. SO maybe it's Dashlane (my password manager)? But when I disable that and TYPE my username (or phone number) in the field, same stuff happens.

BUT when I use a private browser window, the gmail sign in works as before, and so that's what I've been using -- but it's not convenient having 2 windows open. Before it was just a tab in one window. What changed? Why? Can I change it back? Thanks!

I won't show my account information but when I try to access Amtrak's Guest Rewards site it goes into a loop. First it asks for username & password and accepts that with no problem. Then it asks for the code it sends to my cell phone and accepts that. And then it just keeps reloading various pages until I kill it. This is the error message shown in the log, it's repeated over and over:

NS_ERROR_ILLEGAL_VALUE: Component returned failure code: 0x80070057 (NS_ERROR_ILLEGAL_VALUE) [nsIFaviconService.replaceFaviconDataFromDataURL]

   loadFavicon resource:///modules/PlacesUIUtils.sys.mjs:220

I'm running under Mac OS 10.13.6 The site loads fine when I use Safari (version 13.1.2)

Editing text in data entry fields is difficult when using Firefox for iOS. Cut and paste are often unavailable. There is no way to move the cursor in any direction other than backspace. Delete should be available as well as nondestructive cursor movement.

   My attempts to place a cursor then move it in a field usually fail.
  Try these cursor movements on Mozilla’s own Firefox support pages.
   Oddly, the text entry field for this comment is better behaved, Still it lacks many of the cursor movements I mentioned here.
