Hi,
I've been getting question marks instead of words (typefaces) when I load some websites. This isn't consistent. When I use Safari, everything is just fine. Even Chrome.
I've tried everything I could find worth trying in other peoples' queries with no luck.
This is super frustrating.

On some sites, the video controls flash intermittently while playing. On one in particular - theguardian.com/uk - embedded video content will not play. The sound will, but the picture won't. I've done seemingly everything - disable hardware acceleration, messed about with tracking, blocking, permissions, extensions, plugins, reset that site, refreshed Firefox. Nothing works. I've been using Firefox happily for over a decade, but this is severely testing my faith and allegiance. I'm using a 2019 Mac, but Apple say it's not their problem. The protracted steps I had to take to even get to this page on this forum have seriously tested my patience. Please, Firefox - how can I fix this?

I use a laptop that I frequently connect to a large external monitor. When on the laptop, often my Firefox v69.0 (64-bit) browser windows are full-sized (not full-screen mode, but just taking up the entire desktop). When I plug in the external monitor, these windows migrate to the external monitor and are much smaller than full-screen. However, Firefox appears to continue to have these windows tagged as full-screen, as when I am on one of them, and open a new window using command-N, I get a full-scree (on the large external monitor) size window, rather than a window of the same size.
I don't think this is desired or intended behavior--is there a way to override it or submit a bug report?
Thanks

I downloaded the new Firefox and now it makes me sync every time I boot up the computer and forgets all my passwords. (so the routine is now turn on computer, login into firefox, login into email, confirm sync, THEN do anything else on my computer). How do I permanently have it remember the sync and open the tabs from last time upon opening firefox?

I have to do administration work in several Office.com tenants. When using Safari I am able to start a new private window, visit office.com and forced to provide login credentials. With this I can be logged in to multiple tenants at one time. This is expected behavior.
When I open a new private window (FireFox 69.0) and go to office.com the login credentials I am currently using are remembered from my previous private window, and I am already logged in to office.com in the new private window. This is not expected behavior.
If I understand things correctly every time I start a new private window I should be required to provide credentials each time I visit office.com for the first time in that new private window. Right?

Firefox MAC is blocking clicking LIKE on Instagram suddenly 1-2 weeks ago. I share Firefox browser settings automatically so this blocking also happens on my Macbook Pro. It does NOT happen using SAFARI or mobile cellphone app - ONLY Firefox browser. Everytime I click LIKE, this message window pops up: "Action Blocked This action was blocked. Please try again later. We restrict certain content and actions to protect our community. Tell us if you think we made a mistake." I included screenshots of green lock notification in address bar. HELP - any suggestions?

I'm running 69.0 on Mac OS X (Mohave).
From about:support I can see that I've been updated with the same build 5 times in the last 5 days, and twice today alone. Going along with that, I've gotten the "We just need to restart FF" page many times also. Then, instead of actually restarting, I get the dialog forcing me to create a new profile, which it then runs. Then I have to find the profile list, start a browser with my real profile (which I've carefully saved at this point), and then kill off the instance with the new profile. I can't figure out how to get out of this cycle. I've turned off automatic updates, but something (??) still seems to be updating automatically. When I check the app contents, I can see that some files/dirs have last-modified times corresponding to the update times on the support page, so something really does seem to be happening. The contents of updates.xml seem a bit strange to me, BTW, but I don't know how to parse the entries very well - see image below.
Thanks for any light you can shed on this!

Cannot leave a message on a mortuary website using FF. Submit requires completing a captcha, but the box to check is not displayed, only the word 'captcha' and the spinning icon. When using Safari, the box is also displayed. Safari and FF both use largely the same extensions.

Many development tools will automatically open a browser upon start-up (e.g., fire-up a react-app, or a jupyter Notebook). I only have `firefox-dev` on my machine. I have created an alias firefox -> ../path/to/firefox-dev/bin. I had to do this because `firefox-dev` nor `firefox` worked (command not recognized). Finally, my mac os preference has been set to `firefox-dev`.
Despite having set the `env` variable `$BROWSER` set to the alias, the desired behavior (above) is not happening.
All in all, it would be great to have expanded documentation on how to fully configure your mac to use `firefox-dev`. Thank you in advance for any help on this useful part of my workflow.
PS: I love this app. Nice job!

At the moment there is container feature, but it doesn't really work like how I prefer it to be.
1. A container is limited to a tab, not a Firefox window 2. Something similar to Chrome profile would be great. 3. My current flow is that each window is per profile, meaning that one window is for work, one for personal, etc.
Will Firefox consider this as a future improvement, or Firefox doesn't prefer this kinda of workflow?

I get this rubbish: Did Not Connect: Potential Security Issue
Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to www.facebook.com because this web site requires a secure connection.
What can you do about it?
www.facebook.com has a security policy called HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), which means that Firefox can only connect to it securely. You can’t add an exception to visit this site.
The issue is most likely with the web site, and there is nothing you can do to resolve it.
If you are on a corporate network or using anti-virus software, you can reach out to the support teams for assistance. You can also notify the web site’s administrator about the problem.

How does the login for the YouTube website prefill with my account information when I have logged out, deleted all the information the browser has connected with YouTube, and activated a proxy to hide my ip address?
The prefill is more than just a prefilled form. I have attached an image of what comes up. It looks to me as if those sites are identifying my accounts at the server end. I have deleted everything in the storage section of the browser inspector application (another picture attached). I also activated a proxy to hide my ip address.
What can I do to Firefox so that when I go to Gmail or Youtube they don't already know it is me?
