Some website can't display English content properly (shown as rubbish text as in figure provided), but if I copy those text and paste them else where (for example in a .txt file), they shown as English. I even disabled all of my plugins, but it still has the problem.

It won't have such a problem if I open the same web page via chromium-based browsers.

Just wondering what might be the cause?

Hi. I am in Mac Big Sur and Firefox 108. I tend to keep a lot of windows open and navigate among them using the "Window" pulldown menu at the top between "Tools" and "Help". It used to be that the latest window more or less stayed at the bottom and the others stayed in order so they were easy to find quickly. A recent upgrade made it so the windows are now alphabetized and constantly shuffling. Since they are alphabetized by the name in the page title, this often offers no clue as to what it is--like it might be alphabetized under like cart or home page or main or something general like that. Also, if you have different tabs in a window, that window might jump from the top to the middle if a different tab is last looked at. Bottom line: it is very difficult and non-intuitive to find a page when you have a lot of windows open--but it used to be easy. Is there a way to order the wondows the way you want them or go back to the chronological order of before? Seems like there must be a setting somewhere. Thanks so much for any help.

I had to synch my bookmarks and passwords though some didnt synch. do I have to do the whole process all over again? and what do I do with the old version, delete it after I re install V 110?

i can't find the name of the new cookie/tracker form moizilla i enabled last week, immediately going to utube (never logged ln to utube) it's obvious utube is no longer tailoring channels to my history. (but for years i've used firefox with its previous built in cookie/tracking enable. i also always have active Ghostery on full block).

i want to lower blocking for utube only, not remove because previous firefox before the "new" cooking/tracker utube did somehow store what type of channels to suggest. does utube use a cookie or a tracker to store channels to suggest? (note i do NOT login to utube, it's saving/storing my type of channels liked by other means than user account).

USA is nuts into fascism! of course americans don't want corporations recording our personal internet history then selling it to other corporations. to try to stop it citizens have to beg around mozilla, ghostery for complicated settings. even many of the help apps like ghostery r default to send them data, u have to hound around details in their preferences to disable them getting our history. citizens should have to be doing this to protect ourselves from corporations!

(ps. i upload my avatar, i see it on some pages, this page it's back to a B circle. i've uploaded successful 3 times yet it keeps disappearing).

When I scroll down on Instagram I almost always get an instability where scrolling keeps jumping back up. I can go down using the scroll bar on the side but the instability is still there and I miss posts and things jump around a lot.

Is this a known issue? Are there any tips for getting smooth scrolling on Instagram>

Thanks, Greg

I recently learned about the `ui.textScaleFactor` option and found it very helpful to adjust the text size. I have currently set the option to 115. However, changing `ui.textScaleFactor` distorts texts rendered by pdf.js such that neighboring characters somewhat overlap.

Is it possible to disable `ui.textScaleFactor` on pdf.js?

Browser: Firefox 111.0 OS: macOS Ventura (13.2.1)

I have had several computers and a phone synced with Firefox. Recently, my mac book had to be wiped and OS reinstalled. Since then I have been unable to sync to my Firefox account on that laptop. I enter my standard email and the same password as on my desktop, but get an error stating, "Incorrect Password".

Following suggestion from an older thread with the same problem, I installed a nightly build on my desktop and tried to log in with that, unsuccessfully. Same problem. I used my same email and same password, but the nightly build version of Firefox reported the error, "Incorrect Password".

While thinking about this, I checked my newish phone and found it was not synced either. Using my email and password, I was unable to get it to sync. However, I was able to sync the phone using the QR code. So my phone is now synced to my Firefox account.

I really want to get the laptop to sync to my Firefox account and am mystified as to how to track down what the problem might be.

Just installed on iMac running Ventura 13.2.1. Web pages that are used repeatedly show jumbled text in important places. It's as though something has been encrypted but not un encrypted. Any ideas, before I have to go back to Chrome or Safari? Screenshot of example attached

I like having cookies because I can stay logged into websites and it improves functionality. Unfortunately, during a tech support call awhile ago, they did something, and now my cookies seem to be disappearing once a month. I was just on Apple tech support for another issue, but they said they don't know anything about it. Is there something I can do through Firefox, or do I need to bug Apple again? It's possible that it was the Microsoft/Teams tech support. Any help or ideas would be appreciated. I want to keep my cookies.

Outlook.com email client is displaying the text super teeny tiny in Firefox only. Anyone else having this problem or have a solve. It has nothing to do with the view>zoom size. Very frustrating because I do all my work in in Firefox and would hate to have to use another browser just to use email.

I was previously able to connect to my local NAS using the server name, but now cannot. I verified that the server certificate error exception is still listed.

Here is the text of the error message I receive:

"Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site. We can’t connect to the server at [server name redacted]. Did you mean to go to www.[server name redacted].com? If you entered the right address, you can:

   Try again later
   Check your network connection
   Check that Firefox has permission to access the web (you might be connected but behind a firewall)"

I am able to connect using the IP address.
