After update to 140.0.2, clicking on Firefox icon in the dock does nothing. The title bar says Firefox is active, but nothing shows on my screen. What changed? Did you reset something in my preferences?

Google Meet repeatedly drops and rejoins calls with "you have lost your internet connection" error. It's been happening consistently over the past few weeks. I have zero issues if I join the same calls with Google Chrome. I've tried updating to latest, restarting Firefox, restarting my machine, but it still happens.

For some reason, when searching for information via google, their AI, which should give an extract on the search query, gives the error “Overview from AI is not available for this request”. And this error appears only in firefox browser. please help.

Firefox recently started "eating" my tabs: closing them without my permission. There are several tabs I want to keep open at all times, because I refer to them from time to time throughout the day, but Firefox closes them from time to time. I googled the issue and the AI directed me to two settings: browser.tabs.unloadOnLowMemory and browser.tabs.min_inactive_duration_before_unload. It suggested setting the first one to "false" and increasing the duration of the second, or setting it to "false." However, the setting will only accept numeric values.

Since I am not having low memory issues, I want Firefox to leave my tabs alone. Is there any way to actually do this? If not, it would be really nice if Firefox developers reversed this intrusive change.

Thank you, Terry

How in the heck do you increase the size of the UI font? I have a 1440P monitor and the TINY size of the UI font makes it nearly impossible to read the text on the menu buttons, I have lean forward and squint to read it because they are so damn small. I can't find anything in the settings to make the UI text larger. It is as if some dummy hard coded the UI font size so it's impossible for the average person to find out how to change it. It makes no sense whatsoever.

And please don't tell me to increase the zoom in the Windows settings, because that screws up EVERYTHING else...

Another thing that is driving me crazy is how do you set it so that scrolling with the mouse wheel is smooth and not jerky? When i scroll with the mouse wheel, instead of smoothly moving the page up or down, it JERKS a couple of lines at a time. This is the only browser that it does that in. I have smooth scrolling ON in the mouse settings on my computer but for some reason, only Firefox is doing this.

Fix it. Tnx, Larry Yesterday I got a full page notice that told me my access to Firefox will be shut down because my Defender detected that I had stepped in some SHXT while visiting something in Firefox. They gave me a phone number of Microsoft something to call to fix it. I did not call because it seemed like malware, I guess it wasn't because soon after Firefox would not load. I will get this when I try: Says: cannot find server v3lpea6ndyxwl4.azureedge.net , I have run Malwarebytes and Defender and rebooted. Any ideas?

For the past several days, I can no longer access my two hotmail.com email pages. I keep getting the message to "check back later." I tried using Edge, and it worked there. Then I tried using DuckDuckGo and Brave, and hotmail worked on both. So, this problem only exists when using FireFox which is the site I use by default.

Connectivity to www.xfinity.com disappeared...with latest firefox 140.0.4 as near as I can tell. xfinity still works on Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge. Please fix firefox browser so I don't have to go to chrome or edge. thanks!

Hi

I regularly update a JSON file from VMware. In the past (before March this year), when I clicked the link below, and then clicked "save", the file I was viewing was saved, as expected.

link text

Since I tried this in March, it would display the new updated file when I click on the link. I then click Save, and the old file that was last saved months back is saved. Even deleting the file in the Downloads folder still saves the old file data.

I found that if I deleted all cookies and cached data for vmware.com, that the next time the latest file would be saved. I last did that in June. Today, in July, I view the file as dated 18 July, but when saved, the data from 17 June is saved in Downloads.

I'm running the latest Windows 140.0.4 (64-bit) Firefox on Windows Server 2022.

Is this a bug with JSON files? Is there something I need to do? This used to work.

I am using the Raindrop (raindrop.io) bookmark manager. It has been working fine on Firefox for years. However, with my recent update to Firefox 140, it is broken. Specifically, I can no longer use the highlighting function. It works fine on Chrome, but not on Firefox. I've seen several similar reports on Reddit's Firefox forum (r/firefox).

What to do? I don't want to have to switch to Chrome. Suggestions appreciated.
