After removing other elements, I'm left with a map, which I was able to expand to the top and sides, but not the bottom area.

The site is https://earthexplorer.usgs.gov/.

Any help would be appreciated.

The spell checker isn't working for me. I've found old answers to this:

"You can see which dictionary is selected if you right-click in a text area and open the Languages sub menu. At least one dictionary should be installed and have a check mark to indicate that it is selected.

   open the "Add Dictionaries" link to install a dictionary if you do not have one. 

The spelling checker is enabled if [X] "Check Spelling" in the right-click context menu has a checkmark.

You can enable or disable spell checking globally:

   Options/Preferences -> General: Language and Appearance: "Check your spelling as you type" 

You can look here for dictionaries:

   https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/language-tools/ 

Note that for spell check you need a dictionary. A language pack provides string translations for the user interface.

   https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/use-firefox-interface-other-languages-language-pack 

You can check the layout.spellcheckDefault pref on the about:config page.

   http://kb.mozillazine.org/layout.spellcheckDefault "'

But I don't understand what most of this means!

I don't find 'language' because I don't know where to find a "text box containing more than one line" I'd have thought this was one, but the option does not come up here when I right click.

I realise this is probably me being dense, but can someone help in simple terms, please? Thanks.

Hello, I am trying to print labels from the web on a Dymo labelmaker. When I select no margins it prints on far left of label and cutting part of the text off. When I choose custom margins it prints very small and does not change regardless if I change the margins to 0 or change the size to 200%. When I print it in chrome it works perfectly fine.

/edit: removed space before "I am" to removed horizontal scroll bar.

(menu bar) Firefox > Preferences I see this in hundreds of links for help. But it does NOT exist. Please do NOT tell me to go to menu bar and click on Firefox. It is NOT there. It just is NOT there. There is no tab, link, drop down or ANY thing that says Firefox. There is no tab, link, drop down or ANY thing that says Preferences. The menu bar is there. File Edit History Bookmarks Tools Help. But NO Firefox and NO preferences. I want my page to show the |||\ at the top. But I do not want the bookmarks tool bar at the top. I do NOT want Picture in Picture to show at the top. I do not want the bookmark star to show inside the url. Where and how do I fix these things???

Earlier today (well, it's yesterday now) Firefox was updated to 116 and since then it won't download any images or other files from anywhere. I've set a default download directory and when I click "Save image as...", that image should appear in the preset directory but it doesn't. I have two extensions for downloading images and they work just fine, only the default function of firefox doesn't work. Here's a short video showing the problem:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUr45Jzv-Ko

I tried downgrading Firefox to 115.0.3 but that didn't fix the problem and I'm out of ideas how to fix it. I'm 100% sure it's a firefox problem bc I tried saving images with Opera and Chromium and there was not a single problem with that task in either of these browsers.

I am unable to access a large number of sites, including TV replays, as they say I have ad blockers on. I have checked how to remove them but they are not there. I use Duck duck go - is that the problem? Someone suggested using Edge but I don't want to. I tried briefly but it still didn't work and then I had to struggle to remove Edge.

Recently, my FireFox has been acting a bit strange when it comes to playing videos. I am using a site called Udemy to watch a video course I'm taking, however, the videos don't seem to play for either a long time, or until I tab into YouTube and play a video there.

This issue is not only with Udemy however, as the YouTube videos also take longer than normal to start playing; It's not only at the start of the video either (whilst waiting for the video to fully load), It's all the time, between every pause I have to wait around 3-4 seconds before It actually start playing.

The issue is clearly something to do with videos but I find it very strange that playing a YouTube video forces my Udemy video to load.

It's been a real struggle trying to get todays course day done, since every time I pause the video I end up having to wait a while or go to YouTube and play a video to make it continue.

I've gone through all the basic troubleshooting recommended for video issues on here and other places: Turn of hardware encoding, lower security levels, enabling autoplay etc etc; absolutely no luck. I've tried disabling extensions one by one, disabling themes, running FireFox in troubleshoot mode, clearing all data/history/cookies/cache, making sure DRM-controlled content is enabled as well as trying it disabled. You name it, I feel like I've tried it at this point... Any suggestions are highly appreciated!

Another thing to add is Chrome isn't having this issue, neither is Safari.

firefox monitor does not allow me to sign in using dashlane password manager. Every other website responds by either filling in the name and password, or asking if I want to use Dashlane data. Please help. thanks

Hi, I've currently got Firefox 115.03 (64bit) installed (Windows MSIX package). The size of the bookmarks toolbar cannot be changed. I've found solutions online that unfortunately I cannot use on my pc due to limitations. https://github.com/xiaoxiaoflood/firefox-scripts#instructions Is there a way to edit the width of the toolbar in the firefox setting without the need of any script? The aim is to have multiple lines available in the bookmark toolbar so I can see all saved bookmarks there (I had three lines before changing PC and I managed to do so by modifying firefox' settings only, but it was a long time ago). Thanks!

I have no idea even how to describe this, but it has been happening for a very long time and I am so fed up with it at this point.

It makes no difference what kind of video, or website, or any other factor, it always happens when I click to go full screen for the video. As soon as the screen goes full, where ever my mouse pointer is sitting, a small tool tip window opens up that shows the page url, or other kind of gibberish that I have no idea how to describe. It will stay on the screen no matter what, until I click to exit full screen mode of the video.

I have replicated this with Youtube, Netflix, Hulu, or any other social media page with video links, or any other website with an imbedded video that I can make full screen. I have tried it in Incognito mode and standard mode and it is always the same. Click full screen, tool tip appears. Every. Time.

The only way I can get it to not appear is to immediately swipe my mouse pointer to the bottom right corer of the screen immediately after clicking the full screen button. If I am fast enough it will either not show, or I get it to show on the edge of the screen where it can't be seen, but I'm not sure. This has been extremely frustrating having to constantly switching from full screen to non-full screen repeatedly to time it just right to not have this appear and stay on my screen.

Please tell me there is a way to stop this from happening. It has been many, many months this has been going on. I probably couldn't even remember the last time I didn't have to deal with this. I've kept my browser up to date, I've turned off all extensions, used the Troubleshooting mode, everything except uninstalling and reinstalling the whole browser. I'd much rather not have to deal with that and hope you can help. I have been a loyal user of Firefox browser for nearly 17 years (probably more) and I will not use any other site. Please help me to stop going crazy every time I want to watch anything in full screen.

After the latest update I could not access any websites

I thought it was the VPN I just installed, so I uninstalled it, but that still did not fix the problem.

I did 3 system restores and still it did not fix the problem.

My browser had changed and I spent hours trying to sort this problem out.

I uninstalled Firefox and then re-installed but still had problems connecting to the web.

Then when I was going to uninstall Firefox again with a special program, it gave two choices, uninstall or repair. I selected repair and sure enough I could access the web

All my browser extensions on tool bar had disappeared

The tool bar was full of junk, so I used Customised Toobar and finally fixed the problem.

I have disabled auto updates

Thank you Firefox for the inconvenience you caused , but I forgive you, because I consider you provide the best browser to use for access to web

It seems the new VPN I installed was causing the problems using Firefox and also my WiFi connection.

I have uninstalled the VPN and everything seems to fine now, with WiFi connection and Firefox

Thanks for the previous support that was provided

I recently updated browser and now I have a tab that I can't get rid of, I think it's the sync set up tab because it wants me to sync all my devices with firefox. It currently sits at 33% wanting me to upload firefox on my devices. I like firefox I've been using it as default browser on my computer since the beginning and with that being said I just want to keep things the way they are, I don't want to sync everything. To be honest I have loaded firefox on my iPhone a while back and never really used it as I'm accustom to Safari on the iPhone. I'm old school and old and like things the way they are lol.

Hi all,

I’m trying to make aware people of the recent Google movements to close gate the internet to their services and I suggest to folks to move to Firefox.

One of my colleagues encounters a problem clearly visible on the image attached (it shows correctly on my mac).

It's not as bad on my mac, where I only have issues every now and then - I received an email this morning on my work email, and all the apostrophes were replaced with Registered symbol (R in a circle).

I noticed that not allowing websites to use their own fonts fixes the issue (unticking "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of your selections above") but I would like to be able to view sites the way the developers intented rather than forcing my browsers default fonts.

Any ideas?

Many thanks
