When clicking on a hyperlink in a webpage in Firefox 91.0.1, the link fails to open. If I right click it will open. In Preferences/Settings , Firefox is set as default browser and I have left Open Links in Tabs instead of new windows unchecked (I prefer to open in new window). If I right click on the link I can open in either a new tab or a new window.

This does not happen in Safari. Any ideas?

When video/audio starts playing on a browser, the tab title displays 'playing' text. This additional line resizes the window height and causes the tab content to resize too. For example youtube starts resizing video window height and width - and this is very annoying. How do I remove 'playing' text from tab FOREVER?

Hello,

saving login data for diffrent homepages works in general. But there is one homepage, where Firefox is just able to save the password, but not the username. For every login, i have to type in my mail adress (username) manually. The site where this happens is: https://www.ebike-connect.com/login?lang=de-de You can try it on your own. Just create an free account and try to save your login data.

P.S.: I tried saving the login data with the edge browser and it was no problem. It can log me in automatically.

Waarom kan firefox de Word bestanden niet als Word downloaden en maakt het hier PDF bestanden van terwijl dit wel lukt dit wel met chrome? https://www.tenderned.nl/tenderned-ta.../237560;section=2

I did the test at https://test.amiunique.org/?consent=1 and as a result got this: 16 potentially detected lists (over 292) - These filter lists will be used to generate an unique identifier. -see attached screenshot

Also, if any website of your choice creates a unique identifer on me by using the filter list, as long as i use the exact same filters as another person, could it be that the uniqure identififer is the same for me and the other person or a group of many persons/devices using this exact filter list? I mean.. if my list is the same as someone else they will be identically which means it doesn't matter i am unique identifyed because after all im not unique but only in a list of devices using a specific filter?

And i must say that now, if you go to https://test.amiunique.org and do the test, then klick the shield icon, how pathethic is that amount of trackers, social media trackers, and even cryptominers!?!?

When I want a URL, I type it in the address bar. Search has no relevance to a URL, and any intervention of Search gets in the way, and creates errors.

When I click in the search bar, it's because I want a keyword search with one of the search engines. A search is not a URL.

They are two completely different things, and treating either one as the other is error. I do not want Firefox to kidnap my cursor and teleport it to somewhere I didn't click. They are two entirely different spaces, they are not interchangeable. When I click in the search bar, it's because I want a search. Don't you dare second guess me and change my click to the address bar.

How do I turn off this stupid stupid stupid error behavior of FIrefox?

I tried this and it didn't work. In about:config • keyword.enabled and toggle it from True to False. • browser.fixup.alternate.enabled and toggle it from True to False.

Hello,

I did some changes to the browser according to a privacy guide: https://restoreprivacy.com/firefox-privacy/

When I now watch a video, while the overlay is there, the over a third of the video height is full of green horizontal stripes.

I can't figure out which change to the browser leads to this.

Do you have any idea?

I have an account on usps.com (the post office). Using FireFox, I am unable to see or use my address book on that site. USPS tech support says it's there and also says FireFox is the most problematic web browser of all. USPS tech support says to use ANYTHING but Firefox.

Yes, I have cleared my cache and cookies multiple times in an effort to solve the problem. And doing so does not solve the problem.

I can use IE or Chrome to access USPS.com and I can see my address book!

What the heck, Mozilla?

In other 'apps' on windows 10 the tooltip is above the pointer or below it. In Firefox it is directly under the mouse. So usually any tooltip popup in firefox is unreadable, mostly. One can infer the content sometimes.

How do i change that? Or what is the problem?

I'll try and include a screenshot. Hmm, the screenshot didn't include the mouse. I think i can do a video with OBS and then a screenshot of that.

Interesting, somehow in the screenshot from the obs video it shows 2 mouse pointers. One is very small and the tooltip is just below that, but the other is larger (the one I see) and it covers the tooltip. I'm using the standard windows mouse settings for larger mouse pointers. I just tried using the 'old' mouse settings to select a larger mouse and it behaves the same way. If I select size: 1 in the new size settings, and the old settings i have 'windows system' mouse, then the tooltip is under the pointer but the size is too small for the pointer. I then changed to another mouse setting in the old selector "inverted extra large" and you can see the tooltip because of the 'inverted' nature of the pointer, but the tooltip is still partially covered by the pointer.

Ideally the choice would be to put the tooltip above the mouse pointer rather than below. When you increase the size of the mouse pointer it only increases down, not up. The point of the pointer is always at the top.

I'm going to try one more thing, increasing the size in the new settings after having selected "inverted", but i recall that it changes to the new pointer style. Ah, there is an inverted setting in the new options as well, and if i select that instead of the gray color i was using then one can read the tooltip through the mouse.

So, then my question becomes "can I put the tooltip above the mouse pointer?" Because it is still covered by the mouse pointer as is. I don't see anything in 'about:config', so far.

Thank you.

Every website I go to except for some like settings or customize toolbar has these weird borders that are the same as my theme that just appeared and I don't know how to turn them off.

Also my address bar will only go to a direct website I put in. Like if I try to search for banana, it'll instead be https://banana/ instead of my search engine so I can't search.

Hi Everybody,

Today after restarting my computer, none of the websites I've been viewing on Firefox are displaying properly. They're missing banners, and somehow the colors, fonts, links, etc. are messed up. I can open pages but none look like they should.

I've got no idea why this is happening or what to do about it. I've attached a screenshot of Yahoo Sports below.

Happy to provide other information if necessary!

Thanks a lot for the help!

Today, when I opened Firefox web browser and go to a site(s), I get a different appearance to what I am used to and I don't like it. I have downloaded the latest version of Firefox (91.0) but this has not helped. I use Firefox on a Mac. Any suggestions on how to revert to the previous appearance would be appreciated.

How do I tell Firefox their new menu labels suck like the following? Dear Firefox, USE INDUSTRY STANDARD MENU COMMANDS LIKE: DELETE BOOKMARK NEW FOLDER . When I'm looking for these options, the words "Remove" and "Add" are not recognizable! PLEASE RESTORE the ORIGINAL MENU TERMS!

After updating to 91 version almost all my addons stopped working in private mode.

When FF team decided to block all addons for private mode there was a setting in about:config to allow all adons to work in private mode, but it looks like it is removed in 91 (?) or renamed (?).

So, how to enable all addons to work in private mode at once ? I have a lot and clicking each one in its settings will take a lot of time.

I am using Windows 10. In other major browsers adding URL's to the taskbar is a simple task. Why is it so difficult in Firefox? Adding them to the desktop is easy but not to the taskbar.

I am running window 10 on my laptop and Firefox started opening today in a small window in the upper left of my screen. I have no problems with other browsers but Firefox is doing this repeatedly today. I will reboot and see if that helps.

Hellow,

Since updating the latest firefox version 91.01 it has considerably slowed down browsing speed to an impossible crawl. The task manager shows the update as permanently on, sucking 100% resources. There´s something not right when it does this, and is becoming a bad habit of constantly refreshing firefox to get sensible operation.

It started by installing a clear cache which helped as firefox also hangs when connecting to the internet as a result it goes off-line at random times. Barely ideal. 

Is it worth rolling back to an earlier version that is more stable ? Any other users got debugging suggestions ?

Since a few days ago, context menus looks ugly (see attachment).

It looks almost transparent, items are only visible if I focus on them.

I've tried with safe_mode and even disabling hardware acceleration.

This my OS/environment:

Nombre Firefox Versión 91.0 ID de Build 20210812165409 ID de distribución fedora Agente de usuario Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Fedora; Linux x86_64; rv:91.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/91.0 SO Linux 5.13.9-200.fc34.x86_64 #1 SMP Sun Aug 8 14:34:00 UTC 2021 Binario de aplicación /usr/lib64/firefox/firefox

Please, could you help me?

Thanks in advance
