Firefox supportforum

I am regularly experiencing a frozen cursor when using the Firefox browser. My USB wired mouse stops working, however my laptop touch pad still responds perfectly fine.

I am certain it is related specifically to using the program, and does not occur on my desktop or in other internet browsers.

After opening the browser and loading a webpage, the cursor is often delayed in responding to moving the mouse or stops responding altogether for several moments at a time.

I have tried disabling all add-ons, extensions, and plugins. The problem still occurs when in 'safe mode' or 'troubleshooting mode'.

Please help! This is making the browser impossible to use, and I would prefer not to have to switch to a different browser.

I was helping an elderly friend who is legally blind, with their computer. He uses the windows magnifier to zoom in so he can read what's on the screen. When I opened Firefox the menu and tabs take up an entire half of the screen (not an exaggeration). This is due to the removal of the compact view. There was nothing I could do to fix this problem and make his menu and tabs not to be floating and massive. What this means is that his content view is now less than half of his screen size. This is not accessible for someone with sight issues. I went through a couple of guides and alternative settings to edit in the about:config It looks like the past settings have all been disabled from making changes to the Firefox UI, including trying to disable proton. Everywhere I look it says that Compact Mode is no longer supported and will eventually be removed from Firefox.

I have been a lifetime Firefox user and I changed those settings for myself after the display update a few months ago. I would have to switch browsers if there was no fix. But for my friend who is legally blind I would be required to talk to an accessibility lawyer and see what my options are. Alienating people with disabilities because someone thought the extra space looks cool is unacceptable!

I re-installed a fresh windows copy, and after I signed into my Sync account I found nothing of my saved info including everything (bookmarks, saved password... etc).. I tried different computer and still have the same problem. I removed and re-installed firefox, but in vain. I don't know what happened. I believe that my data are saved to my account not on computer, so I supposed to find them wherever I sign in.. plz help me to solve this serious issue. thanks in advance.

I use text replacement for a lot of things but it doesn't work in Firefox, which sucks because I like firefox

Recently (and during the writing of this) i have experienced typing lag in Firefox. My input gets processed and handled, but it takes a little while, sometimes up to a few seconds, for the text to appear or the changes to occur (think of sending messages). I am currently on Firefox version 106.0.5, and have tried doing a safe restart ("Troubleshoot mode"), but the problems persevered. I have tried clearning cookies, cache, browser and login history, but the problems persevered. I am also not using the windows cursor text color highlighting, which was submitted as a solution to a similar problem a year ago. Thank you if you can help!

I just posted a question re: my pull-down bookmarks menu disappearing. I stated in the question that my bookmarks themselves weren't gone, just the menu. I stand corrected. They are indeed "gone", i.e. completely inaccessible.

I take this to be a best practice to not use more than one vpn at a time. Should those visiting and be given access to network be asked to turn off theirs if connected to same network setup? Should any extensions intended to sync favorites or 'read later' be turns off as well?

I have been using the coderanch.com website for more than a decade and most of the postings include listings of source code which I was (past tense) able to cut a paste into my own development environment. With the latest version (107) of Firefox this has broken, the document now gets numerous non-printable characters (decimal 160) for the leading indents of the code. I'm assuming they are being somehow substituted for the tab character.

Here's an example

I went back to version 105 and the problem went away. Also Chrome does not have this problem.

Please fix soon as it is impacting my ability to help others on the coderanch site.

So for my main gmail I have 2 step for obvious security reasons, but I want it to trust my PC so that I don't have to pull out my phone every time I try to access it. No matter how many times I click the option to trust this PC it always ask' for the 2 step, and I don't see the PC on the trusted list in my gmail settings. I have already added "mail.google.com" to the exceptions part of the cookie and site data settings, even "account.google.com" but it just doesn't seem to work. What is the obvious thing that I am missing?

Today I unistalled firefox on my windows laptop and then installed it again. Now my saved passwords are gone.

1. can I get them back? 2. if I can't - will the passwords be erased on all firefox servers so that no one can access the information? I hope so...

Thanks for you assistance

2 step authentication does not get saved that i have to enter a code every time when i log in. it should have been secure for then next 30 days as the check box selected. it seems it's a big issue for so many users that i found no solution. this issue is so bad and it easily is one of the reasons they are skipping this browser.
