Firefox Community Forum

Hello. I'm not sure if this is the correct place to bring up my concern. So, I apologize in advance if it's not.

I volunteer with a domestic violence organization. The group's website (180NJ.org) has a "panic button" function where a DV victim could bail out instantly if their abuser confronts them. When you hit the "Safety Exit" button, it changes the page to weather.com and Google comes up in a new tab. This is so an abuser can't see what the victim was looking at, for the victim's safety. When using Chrome and Edge, the DV site is removed from the History. When using Firefox, it is not removed from the History. I've brought this to the attention of the organization's IT people and was told that this is probably due to differences in the browsers themselves.

I'm not an IT person myself and have no idea what's involved in all of this. But, I just wanted to bring it to your attention, in case it's something you can work out. Thank you.

I mistakenly agreed to update Firefox to V 151.02. Once again I regret it but there is no way to turn off the stupid prompt windows telling to you to update.

Now when i open a new tab , the wasted space on my COMPUTER screen is incredible. Instead of the old format withm3 wide "columns" of suggested stories/articles it is now one prominent, and a narrow list of only two wide. requiring me to scroll down twice as far as I used to. I have large white blank unused screen space being wasted. It seems to be optimized for only people who use their narrow phone screens only in portrait mode.

I hate the random useless changes that affect my normal everyday usage of the browser, without any options to go back to old formats or settings.

I am actually thinking of switching to EDGE, or Chrome on my Windows computers.

Wish Mitchel was still my student as I would vocalize my complaint directly to them. But that was back in the days when it was a responsive community .org. Not the now privatized for profit entity that Mozilla has become.

As i had to create another useless account just to submit any sort of feedback, watch as I get constant useless emails with no relevance to anything in my life, as all i wanted was a simple way to make my screen the same as it was for the past versions

Animated icons worked in the previous versions and I like them. It was also a way in which Firefox differentiated itself from the Gobble/Microslop browsers.

Is there a way for me to enable animated icon viewing in the latest browser versions so I can continue to view them? I really hate that animated web page icons now appear as static icons. Hate, hate, hate.

After the latest update, a website I use (https://compcon.app/) started throwing the following errors:

downloadable font: CFF : Failed validating CharStrings INDEX (font-family: "Helvetica Bold" style:normal weight:700 stretch:100 src index:0) source: https://compcon.app/assets/Helvetica-Bold-DaBjwqT2.otf downloadable font: CFF : Failed to parse table (font-family: "Helvetica Bold" style:normal weight:700 stretch:100 src index:0) source: https://compcon.app/assets/Helvetica-Bold-DaBjwqT2.otf downloadable font: rejected by sanitizer (font-family: "Helvetica Bold" style:normal weight:700 stretch:100 src index:0) source: https://compcon.app/assets/Helvetica-Bold-DaBjwqT2.otf

It can't load the font the website is asking it to use and is replacing it with a default one instead.

Do you know how to fix this? Either on my end or theirs?

I use Firefox for viewing my Rogers/Yahoo web mail in an open tab. I have granted Yahoo mail permission to send notifications and I get a Windows 11 toast notifications when there is a new email in my inbox.

The problem that I cannot figure out is that the notifications take the form of "X undefined", where X is the sender's name. There is something that is appending the word undefined to the sender's name in the notification. I also note that these notifications are "sticky", that is, they remain visible until dismissed. I would prefer that they dismiss after a few seconds and remain in the notification centre.

I am using Windows 11 Home edition with the latest updates.

WELL BEFORE BROWSING AND SAY LOOKING AT IMAGES OF SAY THE BEATLES. I WANT TO SEE ONE PHOTO SO I LEFT CLICK. ALL IT DOES IS GO BACK TO ORIGINAL SCREEN. WHEREAS FOR YEARS THE PHOTO WOULD POP UP. THAT'S MY ISSUE?

Whenever I open Firefox in my laptop, many pop up news snippets start appearing. It disturbs me and intrudes into my work. Please stop all pop ups and notifications. Thank you.
