Hi all,

By "extremely" I mean an all-caps extremely.

Some bulletpoints:

  • Tried deleting stored data of affected websites
  • Affects articles on e.g. science.org and pnas.org
  • Tested troubleshooting mode
  • Tested against Edge
  • I noticed that the references (bibliography section) loads one by one, very slowly
  • Hence maybe has to do with the integration of GetFTR by the affected journals
  • Disabling tracking protection didn't work
  • Only thing that "worked" (isn't a solution, really) is disabling all scripting and just using reading mode, using e.g. "||pnas.org^$stylesheet" in uBlock; doing that, the papers load in an instance

Example article: https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.aeb1157

I first went to bugzilla, but read: "please consider checking Firefox Help instead of creating a bug", plus I don't know what technical stuff to submit.

If it isn't a configuration issue on my end, then I leave it in your good hands!

In this version of Firefox 152 for windows I'm currently unable to remove search related to google, ebay, perplexity and bing.

Please return possibility to remove those completely!

I don't want my browser to have anything to do with those listed above. I have had it removed in previous versions. Why did you add it to browser again?! Why don't you allow to remove it anymore?!

We recently had an update on our printer drivers and somehow this has swapped settings from the previous system print dialogue to "Firefox - Print". The Firefox print dialogue does not have print preview and I need to be able to see a print preview. I've noticed that this was an issue in the past and people have solved it by going into about:config and setting print.tab_modal.enabled to false, but this hasn't worked for me. I am asking this question because if I can't find a solution I will have to switch to Chrome so I can see a print preview and I would rather not. If there is another way to force the system print dialogue instead of Firefox, please let me know.

Every thing will be working fine? And then I click on something, and it takes a long time. And then at the top of my prompt, it says Mozilla firefox is not responding. I've been dealing with this for some time now. You can't figure it out. This is happening on my computer. Also I would update it the program and the very next day.There's a prompt asking me to upload again. I upgrade, and then I still get the same thing.Mazilla is not responding.

OS scroll bar visibility setting not read on page load in v153

For some scrollables, v153 doesn't respect the Mac OS setting to hide scrollbars unless scrolling on page load. If that OS setting is adjusted after the page is loaded, then the page respects it again until refresh, so there's apparently some sort of race condition going on where it's not reading the setting in time before the page loads?

This is not a problem in v152. I downgraded back to v152 and it's working again.

Issue persists on Incognito Mode and it goes away if I use different browser.

Since 2 days issue like this happened and it is retroactive meaning all previous conversations are also blank, all replies of chatgpt are blank except replies with image generation, those are fine.

Before you recommend me to do something please keep in mind that Incognito itself does not help.

I am able to share that chat, paste it in my firefox and page is blank. https://chatgpt.com/s/t_69f4b354cc188191a7959c2d443fed9d

I can use this adress on different browser and it works fine

This started since Firefox 153.0 (Debian package).

When I open Firefox for the first time after a reboot, it opens my latest tab but all the other tabs on that window are lost, and they show as "ghost tabs" as seen in attached image.

No other issue, other windows are preserved properly when I Ctrl + Shift + N

Hi,

last year I deleted my paypal account. Before that I deleted all entries and connections to abonnements in paypal. A few days ago i received an e-mail from Mozilla that I should pay my VPN abonnement. I would like to do so, but after logging in, I was shown an error message: "Invalid payment information. There is a problem with your account. Manage payment method."

When I go to "Manage payment methods," no options for other payment methods appear, only a PayPal link. What should I do now?

Thank you for your help!

Hi, since the last update for Mozilla on my laptop (version 153.0.1 (64 bit), all the website shortcuts in the Firefox homepage that I had pinned have disappeared. I also can't add new shortcuts. I checked in about:config and in browser.newtabpage.pinned the shortcuts are all there. The display settings for shortcuts are active.

Does anyone know how to resolve this?

Kind regards. Stefano Tavella

So, similar to this post but I haven't downgraded, only upgraded.

OS: Windows 11 (26100.8893) Browser: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:153.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/153.0

I can load it up in the morning, load all my standard tabs, then not too long into it a tab will 'crash' and require a reload. The reload then says its a dramatic crash and the whole browser needs to restart. Soft or Hard (i.e. "Exit") restarts always then ask to create a new profile on startup. This means I lose so much configuration (settings, etc) that is not in the Account Sync, meaning huge amounts of time have been wasted setting Firefox back up again every day.

When I go to about:profiles I can see all the old and new profiles (recently cleaned up all the old ones).

I do use my FF Account across various versions of Firefox (run a linux OS that still has a 14x version - need to upgrade OS to get more recent, but its a significant upgrade that had previously failed so not high on my 'want to resolve' list) - all the Windows OS's have the latest FF.
