I had all kinds of problems with the forced changes to the Firefox screen in the prior update. (I have vision issues and I had everything working for me, then without any warning, I couldn't hardly even use Firefox.) After wasting a ton of time, I was able to get something working, but not as well. Now, there's a new update, and I don't want to install it unless there's a guarantee that it won't do unwanted changes, or at least give me the option to revert to my existing version if the new version doesn't work for me. Does anyone know if the problems caused in the last update have been fixed and what might be in the current update?

DO NOT LET THE NEW ESR UPDATE BE ALLOWED ON YOUR DESKTOP..............CAUSES SITES TO CRASH. AND FOR MY NEEDS FORCED GOING TO A PRIVATE WINDOW TO DO ANY BUSINESS ON WEBSITES.............THIS UPDATE IS BEING FORCE FED TO THE GENERAL USER AND NOT KEPT IN THE ENTERPRISE ENVIRONMENT WHERE IT BELONGS...................I HAD TO RELOAD AND RE-SYNC TO VERSION 114 AFTER INSTALLING VER 115.1. USE WITH EXTREME CAUTION IF IT IS LOADED..............THIS UPDATE IS NOT! TO BE TAKEN LIGHTLY......ITS HAS BUGS AND NOT FULLY TESTED. VLD

Firefox 114 introduced hidden support for nvidia video super resolution. In about:config you can enable preference gfx.webrender.super-resolution.nvidia to make it work. However I see 0 difference on all videos on all pages. I have everything in nvidia control panel set correctly (VSR enabled and set to 4/4 quality).

Tried to find more info online and someone on reddit complained that it worked before but it stopped working with latest firefox beta (probably before final 114 release): https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/13duluz/nvidia_video_super_resolution_comes_to_firefox/

I tried using logic too - if this pref is related to webrenderer in its name maybe it is not working because I am not using webrenderer? However I checked about:support and in section graphics->composition I have "webrenderer" so it seems I am using it, but its VSR feature is not working at all.

Hi, not sure what I'm doing wrong, but my logins and passwords simply will not synch between devices. I principally use a desktop Win10 machine, and an iOS version of Firefox. Have double-checked settings on both devices, tried forcing a manual sync from each to the other, all to no avail. Any ideas on what I need to do differently? TIA.

See reddit post— no way I'm typing all that again! Reddit Post It's not that long, trust me— it's just that the code is long... I've attached a slightly different screenshot to the one I posted on the reddit post, but it makes no difference if you see one or the other, or both!

In summary, I've added a css code to my userChrome.css thingy to move the tabs below the search bar. I was also wondering what the best way to transfer my userChrome.css file + about:config settings over to a new version of Firefox. Due to not being admin of my laptop (I'm running it out of the .dmg file— besides, I always like to keep an older version of Firefox as a fallback), I have to install a whole new version of Firefox onto my laptop to update.

Thanks!

When using Noto Sans Egyptian Hieroglyphics font and writing-mode: vertical-lr; the characters appear shifted up by ~10%, thus appearing partially outside their parent element. All hieroglyphics do this (here using (U+13000)), but only with Noto font.

Tested on versions 114.0.2 and 79.0esr, on different machines, new installs, old installs, even the mobile version. Chromium-based browsers don't have the issue. Images show character inside a div (with borders), the same character highlighted, and Chrome screenshot for comparison. TO REPRODUCE just import and set Noto Sans Egyptian Hieroglyphics and writing-mode: vertical-lr/vertical-rl/tb/tb-rl. A bordered div around the characters might be useful.

Is there a way to enable sounds when the built in pop-up blocker blocks a pop-up or make the banner more noticeable? I often dont realize a pop-up has been blocked and cant figure out why I' not getting the new content

When using the Export Logins feature to create a .csv file, the last few fields don't seem to translate into any known date-stamp format in Excel. The data seems to have relative chronological value, but I can't make sense of it in a spreadsheet.

Can a developer check this and modify the output of those fields so it's more compatible?

Example:

 Header             Cell data

The people who asked this question 3 years ago were given a "chosen solution", which didn't work then. And 3 years later the underlying problem is still not fixed. Last week I tried a new solution which meant messing around with the Firefox settings. And it worked - until the next time I restarted the computer.

I copy and paste in many of my activities, which interact with external websites e.g. discussion groups. The current frustration is a discussion about Adobe, which means copying text from one window to another. It does not happen. Unless this is permanently sorted in the next couple of days, regretfully I shall switch to a workable browser, e.g. Chrome. I cannot afford the waste of time repeatedly researching then not fixing a failing feature.

Good afternoon, hi admin, regarding the latest update, please for the printer settings for landscape and portrait to be displayed on the right as before and permanently for the choice of portrait and landscape settings. because we are constrained by the print settings for PDF, we have to go to the printer settings all the time. please help for the next update. thank you for your concern.

I have been using Firefox and GoToMeeting for years, suddenly this month (July 2023) I get the following message when I try to open a GoToMeeting session”

“Sorry, this browser isn’t supported. Join in your browser by opening the link below in Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge.”

I don’t want to use either of those browsers.

What can I do to keep both Firefox and GoToMeeting?

Every time I go to Fox News, the video at the top of the page drops to the lower right-hand corner. It's an annoyance I've been searching for a way to eliminate. I have pop-ups blocked in preferences and I have a couple of different pop-up blockers, but nothing seems to work. I'm currently using Firefox 114b.09 on a Mac Desktop.

This page doesn't help https://support.mozilla.org/nl/kb/ondersteuning-van-de-gemeenschap-verkrijgen?exit_aaq=1

Could someone from this amazing community go in and update it?

For the past two months, I've been trying to sync Firefox (114.1.1) on my Samsung Galaxy phone (SM-N950U) with Firefox browser (114.0.1) on my Windows 11 Home laptop. On the phone, it works fine. On the browser, when I go to firefox.com/pair ... I get to the screen with the bar code, when I scan that bar code on my phone, the windows Firefox browser gives me an Error 500 (see attached.) Your help is appreciated!

Firefox 114.0, Windows 11 Home Version 10.0.22621 Build 22621 , 1Password-4.6.2.626 extension

Today, for reasons unknown, my 1Password extension, (an old and non-updatable version that I've used for many, many years), is non-responsive. The icon still resides in the Tool Bar, Windows ToolTips "sees" it as "1Password", but clicking on the icon has no effect. The extension is shown as Enabled in Firefox's Manage Your Extensions page.

I think I've tried all the "usual" things here: rebooted the computer, uninstalled and re-installed the extension and rebooting, checked the setting in 1Password itself to see that it's associated with "Mozilla Firefox 114.0", (the program still opens fine outside the browser).

This seems to be related to Firefox 114.0. On my other computer with the same Windows 11 version but using Firefox 113.0.1 had no problem with 1Password, but as soon as Firefox updated to 114.0 the same problem with 1Password appeared.

Anything that I might be able to do to get 1Password working?

Hello all! Thank you for reading this. I will attempt to be concise. All download attempts from firefox fail regardless of file type. I have done all of theses; https://www.guidingtech.com/fix-mozilla-firefox-downloads-failing-on-windows/ and I have done all of these; https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/cant-download-or-save-files

The facts Dell 7490 Laptop. Windows 10 Pro 64 bit, version 22H2, OS build 19045.3086, Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.19041.1000.0

Possible relevant information. I also encounter an error when starting Firefox that I cannot resolve. XUL Runtime error. I have attempted all the fixes here; https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1398228

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I love supporting Firefox but I"m not sure how much longer I can use it with this problem.

Thank you, Everyone!

What is the code to remove that new menu Search Bookmarks in new firefox 114?

I already remove all the previous "bookmark all kind of type menu" in userchrome.css

Reinstalled Firefox after a computer upgrade and now I'm stuck with a disconnected account and a sync loop. I login and it shows login confirmed but I look in the top right corner where you access your account and it shows that it's disconnected. On top of that, I backed up all of my tabs, favorites and passwords but I don't have the ability to import it from the back up. I'm only given the options to import from another browser. Any help in this matter is greatly appreciated.

Hello,

after porting my SSD Arch installation from my old Laptop to a desktop PC, i have a really long startup time (about 30s-45s) for the first time after booting my PC. This problem doesn't occur with any other programs. The subsequent openings of firefox happen instant.

Have tried using "refresh" functionality to clean up firefox so my about:config is as clean as it gets, didn't help. Have tried starting it with "firefox --no-remote", didn't help. Have tried starting it with "firefox --safe-mode", didn't help. Have tried starting it with a completely fresh profile, didn't help. Tried purging it from the system and reinstalling it, didn't help. Same problem when I start it normally via dmenu/rofi.

I don't get any stdout log on any of these methods of starting.

I also don't know where to look for helpful log files.

Any help or hints on where to trace this fault are much appreciated.

Have a nice day :)

Why is there not a simple means to take a link and pin it as a tile on my home page? I've expanded the number of rows displayed which as an odd history of my browsing, yet the latest links I've visited are not there - meaning the link to the location I would like to pin. Seriously, the entries in the rows (other than previously pinned links) is a hodgepodge. It might be useful if there was some evident logic to the items included. It is disappointing the number of times this question has been posed and the "answer" is to display more rows. Similarly disappointing - an old knowledge base article that says to click the 3 dot icon next to address bar for Firefox on android - would have been handy had such a control appeared in the latest version of Firefox I'm running on my Mac.
