Like most crossword sites, only the active word is supposed to be highlighted. Starting late on 11/19, the highlighting has gone haywire. I have attached an image.

Maybe it deselects when the focus shifts, maybe it doesn't. Maybe it shows which square is active, maybe it doesn't. Eventually, I back up a page and then return, which clears the highlighting but not the words.

I've tried actually quitting Firefox and restarting, but it didn't help.

Thank you for any help!

Hi,

I’ve noticed that Firefox on my Android phone becomes noticeably slow whenever I open certain video or streaming pages. The browser doesn’t crash, but the page takes a long time to respond, and scrolling becomes choppy until the video fully loads.

I’ve tried clearing the cache, disabling add-ons, and testing on both Wi-Fi and mobile data. The issue only seems to happen on Firefox — the same sites load smoothly on other browsers.

Is this a known performance limitation, or is there something in the settings I should adjust? I’m not sure if it’s related to media decoding or just heavy websites.

Thanks for any guidance.

I haven't been able to stream videos from the MS NOW website for the last 2 weeks. It has worked great for years. And it's only the MS NOW site, all other websites will play videos. I've tried tips from the web for 5 hours. Nothing worked. I've contacted MS NOW help, and they recommend a different web browser, but I'm happy with Firefox that I've been using for the past 12 years. So far I have: Reloaded the page Checked internet connection Restart browser Restart PC Cleared cache and cookies Disabled extensions Firefox is up to date Reset browser settings All graphics drivers are kept updated Scanned for malware Turned off Firewall Did a msdt.exe -id MaintenanceDiagnostic Disabled all non Microsoft startup sevices

My system: Win7 Home Premium 64 bit OS (very stable) Firefox version 115.30 COX provider

Any help would be appreciated.

This is all on my Android phone but I use the Stash app for investing here https://www.stash.com/ but the Google SSO button redirects me to https://accounts.google.com/gsi/transform with a blank screen and nothing happens. If I instead open the webview in Firefox as part of the browser app, then Google SSO works fine for me. Since it works in Firefox as a browser it seems to me this must be a bug in Firefox when in a webview. Any idea what's going on?

I get an error message when trying to login to the Social Security website with Firefox. Works with Chrome. The problem just started. Here is the error message.

When I use Gemini 3 visual layout function to generate a homepage-like page, but Firefox cannot show any content of the result. It works fine in Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome.

A site I use, bestcrosswords.com, has been acting weirdly since late on 11/18. Instead of the highlighting changing with the active word, the highlighting has gone completely haywire. I have already posted regarding that and filed a bug report (the problem does not occur in DuckDuckGo), but the site has started giving a suggestion I cannot follow.

Please see the image. I can see how the suggestion works on a desktop, but not a phone. Please forgive me if it's considered too obvious to document, but despite searching the phone's software and the Web for advice, I cannot find anyway to follow the site's suggestion.

Could someone clarify the point for me?

Thank you.

I love Firefox and it is my preferred browser. That said, I find I have to switch to Chrome or Safari on my Mac Desktop because some web pages do not display text. Doesn't happen a lot, but when it does, it renders the website unusable.

I have been to the Language and Appearance settings page, and even clicked on the Advanced tab. I have attached screenshots of my settings. What am I doing wrong? Why won't these pages display properly?

Hi there. The Netflix homepage is no longer displayed properly. Only the headlines are visible without the thumbnails (see screenshot 1). Netflix is properly displayed in screenshot 2 which was taken in an other browser. Can somebody please help me to solve this problem. Many thanks.

After upgrading to WordPress 6.9 I can no longer see icons in the text editor, even within the theme I'm using. Also, when a box is checked (e.g. "Category" when you've created a post), the box is highlighted but there is no checkmark and you can't select multiple categories. Same for ANY box, actually. I've attached screenshots.

These issues do not appear when using Chrome. Really annoying because Firefox is my default browser and now I will have to do my WordPress development using Chrome. I really hope there's a fix for this, either via WordPress or Firefox.

bold text Please explain why Firefox always prevents my paying with PayPal because of domething rmbedded in thr pagr. To proceed you tell me I mist open the page in another window. How, and why?

Whenever I try to use Reddit Firefox refuses to display most media elements. This has only been a problem since the recent upgrade to 145. I've tried refreshing Firefox. I've even re-installed it, using a totally new profile.

Is anyone else experiencing this? I get the following message (image attached) in the console if I inspect one of the elements involved.

Based on what I have submitted previously and the number of similart issues posted here, Firefox support needs to get itself moving and find the source of the problem.

Bestbuy.com and amazon are 2 sites affected--there are others. If I delete all the cache, they suddenly fully load.

Most likely will move to chrome, which I detest, because it doesn't have these problems. If Firefox ever fixes the problem, I would come back.

I have two computers both with Windows 11 and Firefox is synced. On one computer the Capital One website works perfectly with no problems but on the other I can't get details of credit card charges and I often get messages like oops something went wrong. On that computer the site works perfectly when I use Chrome to access it. Any ideas?

I can't get to OpelGT.com. It is a car site that I moderate and visit frequently. I just get "waiting" or other messages if I use the link on the Firefox start screen. I can get to all other websites I normally visit with no problems(CNN, various Facebook groups and pages, Amazon, etc.). This problem started around the last few days of November. I CAN get to OpelGT.com using Microsoft Edge with no troubles.

Just a week or so ago I could no longer login to Vanguard using firefox unless private version was used. THis happens on any product where firefox is default browser-Windows, Android and MAC all give a login/password error and nothing shown in the previous fixes work. Cache, troubleshoot mode, extensions and the other stuff have no effect on access. I can use Chrome and edge (both of which I hate) with no problem.

Hello! I have a problem with GeForce NOW in Firefox. When I launch any game, the cursor freezes and does not move inside the streaming window. Outside the GeForce NOW window the cursor works normally.

Details: - Only happens in Firefox - Other browsers work fine - Cursor gets stuck right after entering a game - OS: Linux (Arch)

Is there any fix for this? Maybe it's related to pointer lock or hardware acceleration settings?

Hi Mozzies When I try to play news videos from my local radio station I get this error. The videos originate from our local TV channel which uses Brightcove hosting. Safari and Google Chrome can play the videos. If I go to the source on the TV channel, I can play the video. Hardware MacBook Pro OSX 10.14.6. FireFox version 115.30.0esr (64-bit)
