Every time I go to Fox News, the video at the top of the page drops to the lower right-hand corner. It's an annoyance I've been searching for a way to eliminate. I have pop-ups blocked in preferences and I have a couple of different pop-up blockers, but nothing seems to work. I'm currently using Firefox 114b.09 on a Mac Desktop.

Hi,

I've been encountering a strange issue where colors (especially whites) in the video player are super washed out. This only happens when HDR is turned on in windows, and only happens in my Firefox Developer Edition installation (normal firefox works fine). It also doesn't show up in any windows screenshots - the colors revert to normal when I'm in the screenshot GUI. I've attached photos below of a youtube video, the left is firefox DE and right is normal firefox, both in and out of the screenshot GUI so you can see the difference.

I'm on Windows 11, and I'm not sure what caused the issue. I've tried both refreshing and reinstalling firefox DE to no avail. Pretty stumped on this one, and would appreciate any help!

Hello, is there a 'Force Dark Theme on pages' feature in any Firefox browser, whether Developer edition or Nightly or ... i'm using Opera just because i can force dark theme on any page while Firefox i trust it and consider it better as browser but i don't use it just for the lack of this feature

Here's how your site looks when i use this feature on Opera, it's attached

And here's how your site looks like on Firefox browser even if i have enabled and selected Dark Theme in your settings, image is attached.

Please add this feature and do not depend on Add-ons or Extension as these community or individual developers' Extensions/Add-ons require full access of browser data, and this is not a secure practice

在全屏模式下,如果按Esc以退出输入法的弹窗,会直接退出整个全屏模式。 When I typed something, I may press "Esc" to quit the input method popup. In this case, the fullsreen mod should not be cancelled. For example, look at the attached picture, which is taken when I'm inputing something in the fullscreen mode. In this case, when I press "Esc", the expected behaviour is to close the input method popup without closing the fullscreen mode. The bug has existed for long. I'm using the latest Firefox version for Windows 11.

Hello Firefox Browser developer. When you go to view the video player does not open in full screen. There is a frame left, right, and bottom. It is equally displayed both on YouTube and, for example. In picture-in-picture mode, everything opens correctly. Cleared the cache. Opens fine for the first time. After the second loading of the browser - the frame is formed again. The problem is clearly on my end. Is it possible to install a third party player? Thank you

Firefox Developer Edition does not allow to sign in to few particular websites. Whenever I click sign in/up button, the webpage first tries to connect me to the log in/up page (for example Firefox pocket, Bing, any Microsoft websites, any government websites) but after few seconds it just redirects to the page where I was, i.e, it just refreshes the page. I tried to get help from available forums in Mozilla support (for example, using troubleshoot mode), but nothing is effective. As an example I am attaching few screenshots while trying to sign in to Bing using troubleshoot mode.

Firefox Android, Splitscreen: Keyboard leaves black area when minimized

Google pixel 7 pro, android 13 April patches, Gboard keyboard app, Firefox for Android 112 / 113 beta:

behaviour: 1) I open an app on Android (i.e. YouTube) 2) bring it to splitscreen and select Firefox as second app arranged below 3) in Firefox, I tap on the address bar 4) the keyboard appears from below, the upper app (YouTube) is halved in height (correct behaviour?) and type an URL in firefox' address bar, and press enter 4) the website loads, the keyboard slides down to be hidden again. 5) but there remains a black area at the bottom of the screen (about 1/6th of the screen height, but not as high as the keyboard was before) and the above app is still cut in half. Firefox itself looks okay and stays usable. 6) I can bring up the keyboard again by typing, the black area reappears if the keyboard is hidden again, upper app remains cut. 7) if I bring up the keyboard and then use the "hide keyboard arrow down button" in Gboard, the keyboard slides away and no black bar remains, upper app is fully visible, everything is right then. so the problem only happens if Firefox is inducing the hide keyboard command(?).

- checked with different upper apps (IMs, YouTube, ...) no difference in behaviour. - tried the same with Chrome and Vivaldi browsers as "lower apps" - auto-hiding the keyboard after typing works there as intended, no remaining black area, no cut upper app. tried with Firefox in non-splitscreen mode, it works as intended there.

I waited for several updates for Android, gboard and Firefox or Firefox beta, no change since like january.

any idea how to solve this? thanks Seb

Whenever I type a URL into the address bar in FF for Android, it leaves the existing page in the tab, and navigates to the URL in a new tab. The same thing happens if I tap the address bar and then tap one of the "quick link" icons.

How do I get FF for Android to behave like desktop FF, where things don't magically get opened in new tabs unless I explicitly open a new tab?

I updated Firefox and an old version remains on the "show applications" screen. I suspected it might be another profile, so I went to about:profiles and removed it, but it's still there. As I am relatively new to Linux (Ubuntu specifically), I would appreciate some help with this issue.

On Firefox Beta for Android, 113.0b9 (Build #2015947331).

I run 30-40 tabs. Sometimes when I switch to a tab it is no longer on the page I left it at. It is one page back in the tabs history. When I first switch to the tab the URL is briefly correct, and it's as of the Back button was hit. Forward is not an available option.

It does not consistently happen, or I would have better repro steps. Maybe it has to do with the tab being loaded out of memory?

This has been going on for a while now, a few months at least. I figured it would be fixed with subsequent updates but not yet, I have also had no luck searching for anyone else experiencing this bug.

Hello, While I do in fact the like the amount of customization that's available while using the firefox browser, there are certain aspects of viewing certain webpages that I'd like to improve upon. Certain different chromium based modern windows browsers have different experimental flag settings that let you choose different background settings instead of all or none like firefox seems to do. I'm enclosing a couple screenshot's of what I'm referring to when I'm using the microsoft edge chromium based browser for your reference. Currently I'm using the following add-on to at least temporarily help me with my current issue: https://github.com/m-khvoinitsky/dark-background-light-text-extension. In the attached image while using firefox while viewing the msnbc webpage, currently the displayed colors are totally out of balance. Thanks in advance for any suggestions and help that gets provided to me. David

On Firefox 113.0 (64-bit) for Ubuntu 22.04, some fields don't display backticks correctly. I think it could be a javascript issue.

The easiest place to see this is the "new Gist" page on gist.github.com. The filename field (uses javascript) renders the backtick on top of the following character. The code field (not javascript) renders it correctly. See the screenshot.

My input source is English (US) and I have dead keys disabled. I have the same issue on different machines running Ubuntu, but not on Firefox on a machine running macos. I don't have the problem in other browsers on the Ubuntu machines.

Thanks!

I've used FF forever. I am using W10 / x64. Recently - like in the last several weeks - the default file associations in W10 will not stay set to FF for htm and html files. The associations are changed, automatically, to MS Edge. I often save web pages with the extension SingleFile for later viewing or sharing. I've tried everything possible that I've been able to find including messing with the registry and xml files. FF is my default browser. This is driving me nuts as I don't really use Edge. I'd uninstall the damn thing but I'm sure it would crash the OS. Any thoughts?
