Running Firefox in Kinoite - whenever I set a page to Reader view it is blank.

I have restarted in troubleshooting mode and it works, so I followed all the steps to try to identify what the problem is but nothing has worked.

I tried:

- Troubleshooting mode - worked - Disabling hardware acceleration - did not work - Disabled all extensions - did not work - Switched to default theme - did not work

Anyone any ideas?

TIA

I'm stuck in an endless loop in Firefox for Linux (MX Linux) whenever Cloudflare is used as security.

"Performing security verification

This website uses a security service to protect against malicious bots. This page is displayed while the website verifies you are not a bot."

I click "verify you are human" and it just loops back to the very same challenge. It isn't broken in other web browsers like Vivaldi for Linux. Or Firefox in Windows 11. Just Firefox for Linux.

It has been this way for months.

4 rows of links working great and sync killed it all. Data is in the prefs.js file but firefox wont read it how can I fix this? Hours I have been chasing around with ai checking all the settings etc. wth? HOW HARD DOES THIS HAVE TO BE? please help before I uninstall and never come back. Wasted way too much time!

When uploading files with Firefox, I click the upload button, and the file browser window appears to upload files.

For as long as I can remember, it always defaulted to the last folder location that I uploaded a file, but just a few days ago, it stopped working, and always defaults to my home folder.

How can I make the upload window pop up, default to the last uploaded location? My OS is Linux Mint Cinnamon.

I like having the shortcuts to regular sites on the home page, but its usefulness is spoiled by every site I momentarily visit also appearing and replacing my pinned sites. This renders it basically useless. Can we please have a way of removing 'visited sites' from the shortcuts.

I currently live in the UK & Firefox defaults me the UKs common sociatal date format D-M-Y, due to having the language set to British English (GB) but the UK also uses International Date Standard ISO 8601 YYYY-M D & I have used this exclusively for the past 20+ years. My computers OS is set to the international standard.

Is there a way to set Firefox to use this date standard? I'd be happy to set the date region to Japan & have it in Japanese, they use International Standard & I lived there for many years, so that would be an acceptable option.

I used to have the email shortcut with protonmail ekb155@pm.me When I try to login to move my shortcuts to Linux, it no longer lets me login without validation to that email. The suffix... pm.me is shortcut for protonmail. When I downgraded i kept my main login, kbarnsda@protonmail.com My current address is kbarnsda@gmail.com

Is it possible to free up this snag, I have always used Mozilla since the beginning of time. I dont want to switch t o Brave which did allow me to change emails.

Any suggestions please Thanks said more simply.. can you change ekb155@pm.me to my new email kbarnsda@gmail.com please for your security chaps the old email ekb stood for everett kenneth barnsdale and pm.me was shortcut email for protonmail.com

I am on Linux using Firefox 140.99.0esr.An entry in my name has the wrong state,i cant tell which one.. I cant scroll to the right to fin d it and i would just like to be able to search for bogus entries using a standard text editor

After the version 149, a very strange issue happens to me with Firefox. When I try to log in to some services (Google account, WhatsApp, Mozilla account) the browser freezes. That does not happen if I turn the hardware acceleration off so I essentially thought there is some issue with my graphics drivers which I then updated (Nvidia 580.142 drivers for Geforce GTX 960). But what is very strange is that the issue isn't present when I use Firefox in private mode! That means: Normal mode, HW acceleration on -- freezing Normal mode, HW acceleration off -- not freezing Private mode, HW acceleration on -- not freezing I switched to the ESR version now which works fine too. Still, I am curious about what is going on and I would like to find a solution. My system is fully updated Arch Linux. I cannot share my data since I can't log in to my Mozilla account. Thanks in advance!

I am unable to download large files from an MS Sharepoint account in Firefox. Small files are fine (less than 100MB). Large files download fine if I use MS Edge browser but I don't want to have to use Edge unless absolutely necessary. Using Firefox Troubleshoot mode doesn't help. Clearing the cach/cookies etc doesn't help. When downloading a 600MB file, the download repeatably fails around 90-100MB. My OS is Linux Mint xfce64. Obviously MS doesn't like firefox for some reason, even in Troubleshoot mode. thanks in advance for any help.

My previous email provider Eclipse has ceased hosting. I found how to update sync email by adding another and promoting. I can't do this as the system sends a code to my no longer exisiting email address. How to get around this. I have a gmail address, iandtryagain@gmail.com

AV1 Hardware Acceleration stopped working. In about:support->Media->Codec Support Information Firefox states that Harware Decode AV1 is supported but it uses only Software Decoding. AV1 worked perfeclty before in Firefox, is still working in other browsers and apps in my system.

My current version of Firefox is 149.0 (64 bit) Mozilla Firefox for Arch Linux Arch Linux - 1.0 I am running this on two computers, a laptop and a desktop, both running Arch Linux, currently at 6.19.10. I use the laptop much more, and recently noticed that I cannot upload or download files with Firefox. No file selection window opens and the request is simply ignored. Nothing appears in my Downloads folder. Meanwhile, I also noticed that this function works just fine on the desktop computer. I don't remember making any settings changes. I do have popups generally disabled but can enable them for certain sites. In any case, I have tried enabling popups and redirects completely with no change. I figure there must be something different about the settings on these two Firefox installations, but what? What can you tell me? Or ask me? Thanks.
