firefox shortcut "Ctrl plus up arrow" is defined as a "media" shortcut.

What pages are defined as "media"?

If a web page is playing audio, do the "media" shortcuts apply? It appears that this is so for only some web pages.

example: the site "https://wrti-live.streamguys1.com/classical-mp3" does not respect those commands. why?

Hi! I have a valid SMIME certificate and a valid private and public GPG key imported into Thunderbird. When I try to write an email to myself and signing and encrypting it it switches to SMIME every time I click „encrypt“. I can only select GPG, if I only sign my message and do not encrypt it.

Here is a video of this behaviour (link points to video on cryptpad.fr) Here is a video of this behaviour

Any hints? Is there a mechanism which technology is prefered?

Hi all,

I have found a bug with version 10.1 of the Thunderbird email app for Android.

When I go to Sent Items in the Thunderbird app, choose a previously sent email to view it, then choose 'Edit as new message', then make the necessary changes and choose 'Save draft', Thunderbird crashes and the new message is lost (not getting saved in drafts).

I've read everything apropos here, tried everything, and I'm lost--and totally screwed--if I can't get into my old Thunderbird. Spectrum, computer died, nobody competent here to get past "Registry Error," I guess, but I need all the data, contacts, calendar, etc., in the T'bird I've relied on for MANY years. PLEASE help. I tried to get a screen grab: It didn't work.

This is the second time I've appealed for help.

As it says in the subject line, the `reopen closed tab` keyboard shortcut cmd+shift+T doesn't do anything on Firefox for MacOS. Weirdly enough, the keyboard shortcut for `new tab` cmd+T does work, as does the other typical shortcuts (search, cut, copy, paste, new window, reopen closed window, etc.). So I'm puzzled why this one is the exception.

I've also noticed that using the other shortcuts light up the respective menu in the top bar (File when cmd+T, Edit when cmd+F, Bookmarks when cmd+shift+O, etc.), but pressing cmd+shift+T does not. Not sure if that's a useful hint or not.

I can still right click the current tab and select `Reopen closed tab` option from there, which is what I've been doing, but it definitely interrupts the flow I have when all of the other usual shortcuts I use work and then this one doesn't.

Thank you, and have a good day.

I have been using Firefox for decades, and it just suddenly completely changed - I'm assuming after the recent update. I am no longer able to view the bookmarks toolbar. It will not allow me to customize the toolbar (it's a blank page). The drop-down menu for passwords does not work. The drop-down for history did not work, so I did a refresh. Now, there is no drop-down menu (three lines) for history and the home button is gone. The page looks very different and very basic.

Any help is appreciated. I would prefer to use Firefox, but am considering changing default browsers due to this.

Hello,

On Wednesday Windows updated in their monthly update. This update resulted in my Firefox browser losing all many capabilities in the top bar. I see the buttons for copy, download and star but can't select them. The download button works, the bookmark doesn't, the account button doesn't, the $ button doesn't, the extension button doesn't, the more features button doesn't, and the menu button doesn't.

Is this something you are aware of.... it worked previous to the download and that's the only change. I have other browsers on my computer (Explorer - No changes, Chrome - No changes) only issues with Firefox. I utilize your browser 98% of the time and would like to get this resolved.

Thanks

I've just updated my Linux Mint to 22.1 and Firefox to 142 on two computers. Both show the same behaviour. On websites of the Stackexchage family (Stackoverflow, Superuser, Crossvalidated, Academia...) the comment function seems to not work anymore. I am not offered a button to comment, and clicking buttons to see more comments that are already there don't show the comments but rather send me to the top of the page. I can still answer. The problem seems to be with Firefox 142 as it worked well before the update, and it still works well with Firefox 142 on Mac and other browsers on Linux.

This looks like a minor bug, not sure whether it is specific to Stackexchange or other websites are affected, too. Is there any help? If not, where can I file a bug report?

This is by now more of a complaint rather than a question, since I already "solved" my problem (manually, by redoing all the affected changes). I'm writing this here in the hope it gets considered/solved in future Firefox updates, and I couldn't find a better place to write (sorry, I also didn't look too hard, since I've already lost some time manually "fixing" the scramble).

The context: I use Firefox currently in three different computers, with a login to cross-communicate my settings, add-ons, and specially, my bookmarks. I use Firefox bookmarks so much that most of my job is saved within them. One of those computers I hadn't used Firefox in a while, and yesterday I had to, and had to log back into my account in that machine. First weirdness was when it took so long to sync my favorites that I gave up and went to do something else. Then this morning in my main computer I realize that old bookmarks from that computer had synced BACK to my main one.

The problem then, is that instead of syncing the bookmarks by the last changes made by me, it got old bookmarks from the old login. I wonder if I had been using a new computer if the system would consider "no bookmarks" as my new bookmark list... sorry, I jest. I know the system apparently only brought bookmarks back and (as far as I know for now) didn't took them away (but it should, since many were deleted or moved for being no longer useful), but I think this whole experience shows that the system should be looking at individual changes by timestamp to each one, not whenever the whole set was saved, and specially: do not save a set BEFORE syncing.

Plus, this made me wish for an option to undo synchronizations or save a current set for later reboot, so we could have more control over it.

I really use these bookmarks a lot, and they're basically the biggest reason why I stick to Firefox.

Firefox version 142.01. After the update I find that Firefox opens normally with tabs visible as normal. When I use the > button to scroll to tabs not visible, the tabs scroll as normal but as soon as I release the mouse button they immediately and rapidly scroll back to the original position. This means I am unable to access many of my tabs. I have searched for information on this but have not been able to find anything specific. I have cleared cookies etc., refreshed Firefox, used a different mouse all to no avail. Another issue is that when trying to select which topic best describes my problem, the pop up only flashes on the screen and when it does stay on, it vanishes again when I try to select an issue. I managed to select the one shown but it was the only one I could access. I don't know what else to do. Any help will be gratefully received. Thanks. Owen

I have an account with Songsterr. It's a music tabs site.

I moved over to Firefox as my primary browser relatively recently & I've noticed that the captions in Songsterr are all messed up. I've been on to Songsterr about it & they cannot solve it but, on a whim, I checked Songsterr in Safari & everything appears normal so I'm going to assume for the moment that this is a firefox related issue.

I've added 4 screenshots. The first two are from Safari & show how the captions should appear. The second two are from Firefox & you can see that it's all messed up.

I found an article on Reddit that may be related but I wanted to check here first & see if any of you could shed any light.
