Version 128.0.3 (64-bit) What’s new Mozilla Firefox for Linux Mint

When I visit a page which contains a Google Doc spreadsheet or try to open a Google Spreadsheet the page often fails to render properly and what I see is my desktop background instead of the Google doc element or Google doc sheet. Please see attached. This has been happening for ages and I resorted back to Chrome for such pages but now I'd like to see if it can be resolved.

The E*Trade analyst research tab does not display properly with text appearing over top of other text, strange numbers, and certain links inactivated. See attached example screenshots showing issues (yellow highlighting with Firefox) and proper display (green highlighting with Chrome). Thanks!

Rather than show websites with text, images, links, etc, I now have only text-links as shown in the attached picture. The website is: https://austin.bibliocommons.com/user/login?destination=%2Fuser_dashboard

Website opens properly using Safari and Chrome.

After years of using Firefox and accessing my grocery store online for the weekly ad and specials it suddenly says shows me this when I try to open the website:

Secure Connection Failed

An error occurred during a connection to www.dillons.com.

   The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
   Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem.

When I look for solutions it tells me there is no way to allow this website to open now. What is going on? I don't care if it's a secure connection, it's just a grocery store ad.

Please add features so that the recently visited page during the Firefox shortcut does not apply to the shortcut list. I only want to see a fixed shortcut on the shortcut page Even the pages I recently visited have been added to the shortcut, so I have to remove them daily. It's so inconvenient.

On our web site we have a page that includes mp3 files, which play okay on Firefox; but on another page on the site with mp3 files, Firefox (including different versions on different computers) produces the error message, No video with supported format and MIME type found." FWIW, other browsers like Safari (Mac), Chrome (Mac and Win), and Edge (Win) all play the problematic files without a hitch.

Is there a fix for this problem that can be attempted by the non-tech types?

I have used Firefox before, and I want to confirm that what i could do in the past is now no longer possible. In the screenshot, you see in the "Home" section, you are able to pick what shows for your home page and new windows. Then you see What you can choose to happen on new tabs. I have set it to pull Google's home page. You used to be able to set the new tabs to whatever you wanted as well. However, you no longer can. Is this the way it is intended to work? If so, this should be rethought. No one wants to set their browser to open a new web page whenever they want to look something up, much less just in general to get to their home page. I understand and know that you can add the home button to the toolbar, but that creates an extra step.

Now if this was intended to be this way, where may I express my dissatisfaction with this option?

Mozilla tab keeps crashing (especially at YouTube) I was wondering if someone can help me find out why!

like tell me how to show the log or something to identify what is doing the crash.

Thank you in advance!

For about the past week I've been having trouble with Gmail and Google Search in my Firefox browser. Typically, I open a Firefox window with multiple tabs and leave the window open all day. I always have Gmail and Google Calendar open in tabs. What happens is that the Gmail tab will at some point give me a message that it cannot connect and has timed out and is trying to reload, but it never reloads, it just stalls. Then I try to open a Google search bookmark to search and the tab remains blank. This happens multiple times throughout the day. Meanwhile I can open Gmail or any Google page in Chrome, which I don't like using.

Sometimes I can close out the Gmail tab that won't load and try to open Gmail in a new tab, but that stalls out too. The only way I can open Gmail again is to close out the Firefox window completely and then relaunch it, then it can open Gmail or Google... until it breaks again.

This never used to happen. I'm using the latest versions of Windows 10 and Firefox on my desktop PC. Nothing else has changed.

Please help me fix this, it's very annoying.

Newsmax.com page will not load. When trying to load I get the following: ""An error occurred when trying to load newsmax.com. The authenticity of the received data could not be verified. Please contact website owners to inform them of this problem.""

Hey,

I have noticed recently that Discord crashes its tab as soon as someone else joins a voice call and microphone access is given.

I am on Linux/NixOS/Hyprland and am not experiencing this issue on Linux/Endeavour/Gnome.

The crash report mainly complains about libxul.

Any ideas or directions are greatly appreciated.

Some sites stopped opening, although in other browsers, and through the phone everything opens up. I've tried reinstalling the browser, disabling extensions, resetting DNS. It didn't help. A list of sites I'm having trouble with: https://www.deepl.com/ https://enka.network/ https://7tv.app/ https://hsr.hakush.in/ and some other sites that I can't remember right now. In Chrome he working. Sites like youtube twitch and other poplar working too, idk why firefox have problem, maybe its new update?

Hi Guys, I'm having trouble logging into Firefox on any of my devices even though i can pass all the password & security steps. When logged in, it asks me if want to connect any other devices then immediately logs me out.

On my main laptop i have all my bookmarks & passwords working but am not logged in, but i want to replicate this on another laptop.

Any ideas?

Hi Firefoxers, I've recently returned to using Firefox after using Chrome, Vivaldi, and Brave for a long time. Most Firefox things are better than these, but I find the bookmarks handling in Firefox extremely frustrating in comparison.

When clicking the bookmark star, the edit bookmark box pops up. The location dropdown gives me a list of 7 recent folders where I can store the bookmark. If I click "Choose" a tiny little box opens up and, in this extremely cramped space, I have to scroll through hundreds of folders and all their expanded subfolders to find the one I want.

One way other browsers solve this problem is by letting the user right click directly on their bookmarks folders and select "Add bookmark here", which then automatically saves URL, page title etc to that folder. But in Firefox, this just opens up a blank "Add Bookmark" box that doesn't contain any info about the current page, meaning you have to manually enter all the details.

So I'm interested in any help advice about:

a) Increasing the number of recent folders in the location drop-down to make it a lot more than 7.

b) Increasing the size of the "Choose" box so I can see the list of hundreds of folders more comfortable.

c) Stopping all folders being automatically expanded in the "Choose" box.

d) Making Firefox auto-add the details from a current page when clicking "Add Bookmark".

Any help would be appreciated!

I have created a number of folders for bookmarks and clicking on the folder used to produce a long list for each. Now, possibly since the latest update, the list is abbreviated and doesn't show bookmarks that, if I open in a tab and click "edit", are shown as being in the folder. The only forum article I have seen on the topic seems far too complicated for me to understand.

I have two Firefox windows open, one on my Macbook Pro and one on my external monitor. When I click a link in Obsidian, Firefox always opens it in the laptop's window. Is there a way to configure Obsidian (or maybe Firefox) so that links open in the Firefox window on my external monitor?

I have no idea but a pop up box keeps coming up even when logged in Password Required-Mozilla Firefox "please enter your primary password" No idea why hope its not a spammer scam

PRIORITY:HIGH for those that are concerned! I created a specific Yahoo account so I could make comments on various News issues. I'm signed into that account and try to make a comment and it says something like or offers to sign in again where the comment is located. when i tick the sign in tab it goes back to the article as if I never signed in to post a comment. When I am actually signed into the Yahoo account where the article is located. Could be politics, music, etc. I cleared the cache, etc...still stuck in the mud. please help. Thank you. raphael
