I DO NOT use Google for anything, if I can help it. Every time I go to my credit union's website, the google bar showing View this page in (English, in my case) or turn off for detect language shows up. I have no idea where it came from, I haven't used Chrome in years.

I've attached a small screenshot. It's not a huge deal, but I don't like google showing up at my credit union, or anywhere else.

Any help would be appreciated.

Japanese characters usually do not render.

I can reproduce this issue by:

• going to the Wikipedia page for the katakana Unicode block.
• going to any YouTube comment with Japanese text.
• hovering over the screenshot of the YouTube comment so that the tooltip containing the name of the file is shown.

On YouTube the text renders only if 1.27916663885116563rem <= font-size <= 1.92083328962326036rem. Increasing `gfx.font_rendering.fontconfig.max_generic_substitutions` from 3 to 99 allows some punctuation to render and makes the text take up horizontal space. Further increase of the value to 999 causes the interpunct to render in the Wikipedia page.

Hello,

as per description I noticed that firefox version 138 requires an ArrayBuffer as the argument of WebAssembly.compile() and doesn't allow anymore (like in 137) a SharedArrayBuffer, is this intended or it will be fixed in the future? Follows a simple test case. Kind reagards.

--- index.html --- <title>Example</title> <script> let instance = undefined; async function loadWasm() { try { const response = await fetch('./sum.wasm'); const buffer = await response.arrayBuffer(); const sharedBuffer = new SharedArrayBuffer(buffer.byteLength); const tmpView = new Uint8Array(sharedBuffer); tmpView.set(new Uint8Array(buffer)); const module = await WebAssembly.compile(sharedBuffer); instance = await WebAssembly.instantiate(module); } catch (error) { alert(`failed to compile in wasm: ${error.message}`); } } loadWasm(); function testWasm() { if (instance) alert(`sum 1 + 2 = ${instance.exports.add(1, 2)}`); else alert('invalid instance, failed to compile'); } </script> <button onclick="testWasm()">Press to run wasm function (sum)</button> --- ---

--- sum.wat --- (to convert into .wasm using: wat2wasm sum.wat -o sum.wasm) (module (func $add (param $lhs i32) (param $rhs i32) (result i32) local.get $lhs local.get $rhs i32.add) (export "add" (func $add)) ) --- ---

There is an Ad Blocker AVG that I can not get rid of. Frank

Seems I've noticed an issue with playing of YouTube videos the last few days. It seems that either the video(s) is slower to load and/or is slower to play. While it's not terribly slower in human time it's slower than normal in computer time. I'm not having this problem in Chrome. Cookies and cache are cleaned multiple times a day. So, I'm a little stumped as to why I'm having this issue. Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks

When trying to do a search for a video in YouTube Studio, the search seems to freeze. Doing a similar search in Microsoft Edge works OK. This problem started happening several months ago. I've tried clearing the cache for YouTube pages.

I love the pinned tabs feature. However, when I pin tabs, any more than 5 won't show up on the contracted sidebar. In the example I've uploaded, t here are 8 pinned tabs, viewable in the expanded sidebar as icons four in a row across the top. The second image shows the same window contracted, with only five of the 8 pinned tabs visible. The others are still there, but I can't see/access them without re-opening the sidebar. How do I get Firefox to show all the pinned tabs in the contracted view?

Thanks!

Hi,

A few weeks or months ago, Firefox suddenly wouldn't save my browsing history for longer than approximately 1 month. This is odd, because I have history turned on. I use custom history settings and only have cookies and cache deleted every time I close Firefox. Also, it does not delete the history upon closing FF, but it's simply limited to round about one month back. I have played around in about:config before, so I might have touched something there and not noticed until later.

I use Firefox 137.0.2 (64-bit) on a Windows 11.

Any ideas what might be the issue and how I could solve it?

I cannot figure out how to add my favorite things to the toolbar. The toolbar doesn't even show up at the top of my page. I just get a string of random bookmark names under the address bar with the Other bookmarks folder at the end. I can't even get rid of "Finish Setup" which is the last one shown. How do I do find where the toolbar is hidden and get it to show? Once I do find it, how can I add my favorite items to the toolbar? I even had ask a question online to find out how to restore my most recent bookmark which was backed up in the documents folder on my computer. Any suggestions would be very helpful. I don't like the way Mozilla Firefox looks now. It isn't as easy to use. I have included what the top of page looks like now. I am sorry I didn't think to keep one of how it used to be.

My search history has disappeared. View/history shows a blank page. If I select "history" from the menu, "recently closed tabs" and "recently closed windows" are grayed out, and "recent history" is empty. But I've been to a dozen or more sites today. What can I do to make Firefox record my history?

I realize much of the issue with organizing bookmarks has to do with this ASSUS laptop. However in the past I used what MS provided when using a desktop, which was easier.

I could use a mouse, but maybe there is a good add-on to keep from dropping bookmarks into some unknown folder. This means I have to look for it in other folders. I did use a Dell laptop previously, but Dell has become very difficult to reach in the USA if not a corporate stateside entity.

I pin a bunch of pages to the home page for easy access, as it allows. But for a few days, i am unable to see the "+" symbol which lets you add pages to the rows, even when there is space in the rows.

When i drag a tab to reorder it, it always just opens in a new window. I also can't move a tab back into another window with other tabs. I'm on linux mint running on wayland

When watching videos, switching between my Bluetooth headphones and Mac speakers will cause the sound not being able to output correctly, the video will be seem muted. Sound output is fine when using other explorer and apps. Restarting Firefox will usually fix the problem.

Today was the second time in two weeks I have lost every open tab in Firefox. Previous to this, this problem has not occurred in at least 5 years. What is going on? To utilize data from multiple sites takes a long time to relocate sites and this is becoming unacceptable. Firefox updates are better than this. Thank you for your help.

I normally put the computer to sleep at night, rather than powering down (although I do that periodically). After waking the computer, and clicking Firefox open, the browser loads with the two or three tabs I last had open, and within the minute closes. There's no warning or pop-up window saying what happened. I open it again, and within the minute it closes again. This happens four times. On the fifth try, Firefox opens without the previous tabs and with just one "New Tab" showing. After that it's fine. Also, it doesn't happen if I wake the computer and let it sit for a while before sitting down.

This is an oddity that I can live with. I'm just curious about what's going on.

Thanks, Ed LeRoy

I'm using Firefox 137.0.2 on a MacBook Pro (M4) macOS Sequoia 15.4.1 . I just installed Multi-Account Containers, and have a question that's not answered in any support material I can find.

Before I installed Multi-Account Containers, I had several Firefox windows open, each with many tabs. For each window, I used "Bookmark All Tabs" to save that windows set of bookmarks in a separate Bookmark folder, e.g. "Weather Obs&Forecasts", "Reading_news", "Music & Language", "Reading_miscellany".

Is there a way that I can open a new window and open all the websites in a bookmark folder at once in a single container? (I have in mind making use of Bookmarks > Reading_news > Open All in Tabs .) Because opening a new window, opening a new tab in a container, duplicating that tab 10 times, and then using Bookmarks > Reading_news to open each of the bookmarks in one of those new containerized tabs was a real drag.
