If I display (e.g.) Nepal in Google maps, initially the Nepali names appear beneath the Latin alphabet names, but only for a split second. They are then overwritten with unicode block icons. Some scripts work (e.g. Cyrillic, Chinese, Japanese, Armenian), but most south Asian scripts do this weird "works for a split second" rendering.

I'm running 128.8.0esr (64-bit) on Debian 12.

This problem does NOT occur in Safe Mode!

In Normal mode, I disabled all plugins and extensions, but the rendering still breaks.

Any ideas?

The same page renders properly in Chrome 134.0.6998.88

Hello,

I keep trying to use my plug in USB security key on bofa.com (for my Bank of America account log in MFA), but it keeps asking for a challenge phrase. I don't have any idea what this is. Can you help?

The request that pops up says:

'Making Sure It's You'

Please sign into "bankofamerica.com".

This request comes from the app "firefox.exe" by Mozilla Corporation.

Then has a blank line to enter 'Challenge Phrase'

    • I have no idea what this is. I do not recall setting up a "Challenge Phrase" on Windows or Firefox browser. Can you help me with this PLEASE?! I don't know what else to do!

I have tried several times to remove the security completely and re-add to the bofa.com website, I have tried to reset the security key itself back to factory.

I have ordered some goods online and have been offered the option to track the goods. But I can't, because Firefox thinks the tracking page has a fake certificate.

I can go to the website of the delivery company and it has a box where I can enter the order number. This is ambiguous (more than one supplier uses the company) so it lists the two possibilities. I click on the right one and it is at this stage I get the fake certificate warning. I cannot bypass it, because trying to do so simply brings up the same warning.

I've been in touch with the suppliers. Their customer service desk can track the order with no problem. So where is the problem?

They say they can track it using Firefox on Windows, Android and Mac systems but have no Linux available. I only have two Linux systems here (Ubuntu 22.04 and 20.04), running the latest Firefox on offer (128.0.2 64 bit), both of which throw up the fake certificate problem, but with slightly different certificate dates (within the last 5 weeks), older than the genuine cert. I have pdfs of both the genuine one and one of the fake ones as produced by Firefox.

This is not a show-stopper this time as I can track the order by phone and email, but there is clearly a problem somewhere, either with both the Firefox versions I have or with the certification verification process.

If it's a Firefox issue, I don't know how to let them know.

The following content is translated using GPT machine translation. Dear Firefox team,

I encountered a problem while using the Firefox Sync service. After registering an account with one of my email addresses, I tried to log into this account on another device, but it prompted me to register again. After following the instructions and registering, I found that both Firefox accounts are associated with the same email, but they cannot be linked together. Later, I tried using a different email address, but the same issue occurred. Finally, I attempted to log in with Google, only to discover that one of the devices does not have the option to log in with Google. I suspect this might be the reason why I cannot use Sync. The Firefox version on this device is 128.02, running on Win10.

Looking forward to your response. Wishing you a pleasant day.

I stopped using Firefox because of the level of BS Big-TEch involvement and lack of PRIVACY. I've been using BRAVE. But they are'nt much better. So I'll switch between as I feel fit. Just so you know. My recent irritation is Shortcuts. I like the speed and convenience of CHOOSING & USING my shortcuts.

I do NOT like the option of "sites you save or VISIT" That is NO option. I DO not want YOU choosing to save every site I VISIT and loading onto my screen. This is not a choice. Just because I visit a site WHY do you save it to shortcuts? It's a PITA deleting crap I don't want.

You should ONLY save the sites I CHOOSE to add.

Not rocket science. WHY DO YOU CHOOSE TO DO THIS?

The Internet It's becoming less and less about what I want to know (Trying to get relevant search replies is harder than ever) and more about what you want to know about me.

MALWARE ? When you are collecting more data than you know what to do with it is Oppressive.

I can see my current usage of Firefox being cut short again at the point of annoyance with this parasitic tech.

Oh and the proccess of creating an account and passwords blah blah just to ask a question that changes sweet FA...... No wonder there's anger. Idiots.

I work heavily in a site called Xactanalysis for work. This is a product by Xactware that is used for tracking, reporting and uploading estimates for insurance claims. They have released a reporting tool recently within Xactanalysis, and the issue is I cannot use with Firefox browser. This works with Chrome, however I would prefer to use Firefox.

I have entered the website address in the exceptions page, but still won't work. When asking Xactware for assistance they said manage the exceptions and it should work. This still doesn't seem to work, so I am curious if there is anything else I can do?

I am on a Windows 10 Pro PC 64 Bit OS with 16GB of memory, running Bit Defender Total Security. I have used Firefox for many years and have never had a problem The browser is version 128.0.2 (64-bit). A few days ago in the application menu told me there was an update and said to install it because it couldn't check for updates. I downloaded and installed it three times now, but the problem still persists. My Bit Defender also keeps popping up messages telling me "firefox.exe attempted to establish a connection relying on an unmatching security certificate to aus5.mozilla.org. We blocked the connection to keep your data safe since the used certificate was issued for a different web address than the targeted one." I have had over 2000 of those messages in the past few days.

I have never had an issue like this before. Is there a glitch in the most recent update? What can I do to fix it outside of resetting my browser, which logs me out of my google accounts and causes me to not be able to get back into them.

Recently my PC has died from the hardware crash. So I've bought another PC and installed Firefox. While other browsers seem to nicely sync bookmarks and history from the previous PC, Firefox didn't do that although I have been logged into my Firefox account on both PCs and I can clearly see the other PC in devices using this account. What is the reason for that?

Firefox is not sending any of the device details so unable to use Firefox with conditional access.

Details like "Managed" and "Join type" would be needed to be able to process it correctly.

Does Firefox support it? If not will it ever be supported or will we have to go back to Edge just so we can sign into Azure sites?
