I have been using Firefox ON this desktop since Feb. 13, 2019 But used Firefox way before that on other desktops. I just saved my profile from one to another and in 2019 I got a new computer again and I never have cleaned it up. I did searches on how too but nothing on how to get rid of passwords and user names logins on websites I no longer used except for one at a time, that will take me weeks,months to clean Firefox up, and how to clean up bookmarks the same, and so on. Today I saved a copy of my profile folder and was shocked to see it is almost 2GB. It explains why some days Firefox doesn't load properly, and why getting stuff done on here is more than a feature, it is bad chore I really need to tackle this and hope you guys can help me out on getting this mess cleaned up. Thanks for your time and support.

Viewing my online banking register there is an option to printout a selected transaction. The print dialog comes up, the intended page flashes for a split second, and disappears. Selecting Print in the dialog box doesn't print anything. This is a recent development. A few versions ago, there was no issue.

I have to start Safari to get my printout. -(

Description:

In Firefox version 135.0.1, when navigating to a website by clicking a bookmark or by pasting a URL (without first activating an Asian language input method in the address bar), Asian language input methods are inactive within webpage text fields. Only English characters can be entered. Switching languages or input methods has no effect.

Steps to Reproduce:

   Open Firefox 135.0.1.
   Navigate to a website by clicking a bookmark or by pasting a URL into the address bar (do not activate an Asian language input method in the address bar before navigating).
   Click on a text field within the webpage.
   Attempt to activate an Asian language input method.

Expected Result:

The Asian language input method should activate, allowing the user to enter characters in the selected language.

Actual Result:

The Asian language input method remains inactive. Only English characters can be entered.

Workaround:

Clicking on the address bar and activating an Asian language input method there enables the input method to function correctly in webpage text fields afterward. This workaround persists for all webpages within the same Firefox window. Alternatively, if the user first types an URL into the address bar, while using an asian language input method, the problem does not occur.

Environment:

   Browser: Firefox 135.0.1
   Operating System: Windows 11
   Input Methods: Microsoft Chinese Input and Microsoft Japanese Input (both exhibit the same issue)
   Websites: Google, Bing, Yahoo and other websites.

Additional Information:

This issue does not occur in Microsoft Edge.

I am experiencing a flickering/highlighting effect on various webpages when using Firefox on some of my computers (a Microsoft Surface and Asus Laptop, but not my work desktop). Attached photos show an example from Gmail, where the one photo shows it open in Microsoft Edge (no flicker/highlighting effect) and the other photo shows it in Firefox.

When my cursor moves it causes the greyed out portions to jump to other areas. I also see this in places like the toolbar, where the rounded edges of bookmarks are now sometimes a grey square, similar to the greyed out emails in the photo.

I have restarted and reinstalled Firefox with no changes. Any idea what is causing this?

MY BROWSING IS VERY, VERY SLOW. I'VE TRIED EVERYTHING EVEN CHANGING MY INTERNET PROVIDER. CAN YOU HELP. SOMETIMES IT DISPLAYS "COULD NOT CONNECT". REALLY FRUSTRATING AND ANNOYING. FOR EXAMPLE I CAN'T EVEN CONNECT WITH DVLA OR INSURANCE COMPANIES.

Hi!

I cannot open some webpages and I cannot find out whether there is some logic in them

f.e. this website: https://shop.digitalcourage.de/

page is white, no content at all, page source empty

yes,

• I deleted all cookies
• I cleared the cache
• I deactivated all extensions, I deactivated NORDVPN, I re-booted
• I de-installed FF completly, using RevoxUninstalle
• I re-installed FF, did not log into my account, started with a clear FF
• I have enough RAM in my desktop pc, no memory problems

I find no solution and I am happy for any help

Hi, when I launch a custom video player on a certain site and go into full screen mode, and then want to exit it through ESC, I can’t do it and the picture freezes. I went to the browser console, and it gave me this error: Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: Not in fullscreen mode

   cancelFullScreen https://interneturok.ru/assets/custom-2dc6965f3c367b4e4590249bd2036dfc.js:578
   hotkeys https://interneturok.ru/assets/custom-2dc6965f3c367b4e4590249bd2036dfc.js:675
   dispatcher https://interneturok.ru/assets/custom-2dc6965f3c367b4e4590249bd2036dfc.js:131|

The technical support of that site told me to write to the browser support, I understood the problem is not on their side. I tried everything and went through incognito mode, the problem did not go away. Give me some advice or maybe the problem is with this site and not with the browser, I also tried to launch this video player through Google Chrome and there were no problems there

This is what the GPTchat wrote about the error from the console: Yes, this error is directly related to exiting fullscreen mode. It says that the custom-2dc6965f3c367b4e4590249bd2036dfc.js script on the site is trying to exit fullscreen when the browser thinks it is no longer in it.

That is, Firefox has already exited fullscreen mode, but the player itself "thinks" that it is still there. Therefore, when you press Esc, the script calls cancelFullScreen(), and the browser throws the error "Not in fullscreen mode".

Dear Ms, dear Mr, I experience the following problem with the user interface of my bank’s website when I consult it using my new MacBook Air laptop computer. The image displayed on the computer screen is apparently designed for a smartphone, not for a computer screen. This anomaly never occurred with my previous computer. And it does not occur at present when I work using Safari. So, I assume that it is linked to the navigator’s (i.e. !Firefox) configuration. This is the reason why I am contacting you. Please find below the characteristics of the new and old configuration. - New configuration, the one with which I have the problem: Model : MacBook Air 15“ M3 2024 Processor: Apple silicon M3 Operating system : Mac OS Sonoma 14.7.2 Navigator : Firefox 128.6.0esr (16bit) since 7 january 2025 - Old configuration : Model : MacBook Pro (13“, Mid 2012) Processor: 2,5 GHz Intel Core i5 Operating system : MacOS Mojave 10.4.6 Navigator : Firefox 115.18.0esr (16 bit) I would be happy if this frustrating though minor problem could be solved. Thank you for your assistance. Michel Stevens

Hi All,

I would like to hide the "New Tab to Right" option on the Tab Context Menu, and also remove the separator line right below that menu item.

The first line in the following code removes the Menu Item, but none of the 4 remaining lines succeed in removing the separator line. It remains at the top of the menu (see attached image).

Could anyone suggest some code to also remove the separator line at the top?

This is in FF 135.

Thank you.

#context_openANewTab,
#context_openANewTab + menuseparator,
#context_openANewTab_separator,
#context_reloadTab_separator,
#context_reloadTab + menuseparator::before {
   display: none !important;
}

Its so annoying feature, when you are in fullscreen the title bar will hide and you need to over top area to toggle team.

for reference look at this reddit post

On Galaxy 23 Ultra using Android 14 & Ui 6.1 w/ Firefox, my Bookmarks disappeared. How do I get them back? Tried about:profiles, but nothing comes up. Recently due screen going haywire, phone was reset & the shop left me with Google, which I hate. Have been things getting back to Firefox I've used for years. Not sure if lost then. Bookmarks screen/setup I get, must be Google's, because it's not like FF's. I have Samsung & Google backups, but didn't realize Bookmarks were not put in them. Phone & apps are kept updated. FYI if it matters: Due to storm damage, I'm without a computer that might help. Help, pls. I'd be very appreciative.

Hi All,

I noticed that my drop-down menus are not visually consistent.

The "File" and "View" menus have an extra column on the left side, while the remaining menus do not have this extra space.

I'm not sure if this column is for icons that are not displaying, or if it serves some other function.

Is there a way (either with custom css, or with some setting) to eliminate the space on the left side of these two menus?

Firefox does this in both my profile, and the default profile, which are 2 different profiles.

I'm seeing this left column whether or not a userChrome.css file is in use.

Please see attached images.

Thanks.
