Hello, I have 3 PCs. One is Windows 10, Firefox 131.0.3 One is Windows 10 firefox 131.0 One is windows 11 firefox 131.0.3
All 3 PCs are running BOINC, using the remaining CPU power up to 100%
On PC W10 + FF 131.0 and PC W11 + FF131.0.3 BOINC and FF share the processor time up to 100% On the PC W10 + FF 131.0.3 when FF is dispatched, no processor time is assigned to BOINC and CPU busy is no more 100%. This situation occurs frequently and can last several minutes.

For the past couple months or so, I've had constant issues with screen tearing when scrolling or with 60FPS YouTube videos. Nothing I've tried has seemed to work, and it's seriously bugging me. The issue does not seem to be present when the video display is small, but it's apparent as ever when fullscreened.
Things I've tried that I can remember, and that haven't worked: - Enabling hardware acceleration - Forcing VSync through NVIDIA Control Panel - Setting layers.acceleration.force-enabled in about:config to true

While browsing www.youtube.com, the site is not running smoothly. When I'm scrolling in the YouTube homepage, it's like cutting in the middle. On the other hand when watching YouTube shorts, when scrolling to a new video, it's like jumping and then loading, which seems extremely inconvenient. Overall the YouTube site is not working properly in Firefox mobile (Android 13). Note: I have tried the cookie delete option. Still persistent.

I woke up this morning to find every single one of my passwords missing. It was so sudden that I could still go to a page and the usernames would still pop up for the log in, but the entire password database is empty.
I am just in a complete panic and shock, I had so much info in there.
I have a bunch of logins.json and a couple logins.json corrupt from around 2:26 this morning which I guess is when the system restarted.
is there anything I can do at all?
How do I turn on autofill?

I can't find how to transfer existing files to sd card. My phones internal storage is almost gone. There is no space for even the smallest app. I have mounted and formatted the sd card and it does appear on my phone. I just can't access any sd card options. Thank you for help.

Hello, I’ve been having this weird artifacting happen on YouTube when skipping ahead or backwards with the arrow keys, or when scrubbing/clicking on another point on the time bar. It’s this garbled mess of the last screen that stays there until a new shot or enough of the current image changes. It is really annoying as I am someone who tends to skip around a lot in videos and I tend to have to replay parts because of this or just deal with this mess. It only happens on YouTube and only on Firefox for some reason. If anyone knows what could be causing this, I’d really appreciate it. I haven’t been able to find a similar issue online, maybe I am searching the wrong thing. Tried to get some screenshots of it with something that would really show it. This has been happening for a while. I use a Mac Studio with an M1 Max since it released in 2022. I've tried reinstalling Firefox as well and that did not fix it.
This happens on any video regardless of what quality settings it is at. I've tried adjusting hardware acceleration to no avail. I dont really know what else to try at this point.
Today, I launched Firefox (103.0.3 64 bit), got this update message; it says "Firefox is being updated by another instance".

All I got when trying to drag photos and URLs to my desktop was a red circle-slash. Turns out Firefox is the only browser that insists on UAC being turned on, apparently a -no-deelevate problem — whatever that is. Despite three calls for help here, not a single person read my post. Of course, there's o Mozilla support.
A bigger revelation was that users are not allowed to uninstall Firefox. Requesting uninstall in Control Panel is not an option. Firefox only allows you to initiate a repair. Takes combing through every Mozilla and Firefox entry in App Data and RegEdit to get rid of this pest.
Enough. I've gone from Mozilla to Nozilla.

I was filling out a City of Portland nuisance complaint form, but the "SUBMIT" button would not appear in order for the complaint form to be transmitted. I could only scroll down so far -- there was nothing more, no page two, etc. Email to City confirmed the problem with the form was on my end. Then I used Safari to get that same City complaint form. Same site, same form. But, on Safari there was about a full page more to the form that had been missing on Firefox. Additional questions, boxes to check, spaces to fill, places to upload photos/files. And at the bottom of the form was the "SUBMIT" button. I don't think I've had this particular issue with other forms, questionnaires, etc. elsewhere. Is there a filter or something blocking random stuff?
I'm not able to Screenshot the page as shown in Safari, so: https://www.portland.gov/homelessness-impact-reduction/report-campsite I think I can "Add image" as a screenshot of the form as shown in Firefox . . . . . . . . . . . . . . oh well, turns out I don't know how to make all that happen. Thanks for whatever anyone can come up with.

I have old Pocket account that goes name@gmail.com, and it have many useful links I archive. 3 years ago, I created Mozzila acc that goes name@outlook.com, and it have all my bookmarks and settings. Before when I used Mozzila Firefox, I logged to Pocket with my old name@gmail.com acc and stored more articles. Now 1-2 months ago, I can not log to my Pocket with my old name@gmail.com it redirect me to name@outlook.com (Mozzila acc) and I can not log in to my old one on Desktop.
Somehow I logged in to Pocket app on Android with my old acc, and old articles are there, I want to know how to use old Pocket acc with old name@gmail.com on Firefox acc name@outlook.com?
how to import passwords from another browser?
Secure my account with strong protection set up
Randomly Firefox will freeze on all tabs. Sometimes it will unlock itself other times I have to restart my Windows Laptop
In oder to autofill a password should require your fingerprint or Android password, please.

First of all, THANK YOU for volunteering. I've donated to Mozilla over the years and appreciate this product. Okay, here's my issue....I'm OLD! HA! Onto the pertinent issue I hope can be solved here:
I use Otter ai to transcribe my healing sessions w/ clients (I'm an energy healer-I see dimensions within the human energy field). I'm a "low-end" user (I just made that up) because it's just me. When I try (operative word) to export and actually hit the "export" button, I get this stupid, crappy, dangling box about ChatGPT (see image below). There's no place to respond yes, no, or to close it out. The only thing I can do is hit "escape" to make it disappear but then I'm kicked out of the export process to view the original screen listing my recent meetings.
Specifics: I have a Macbook Air, macOS Sonoma version 14.4.1 w/ an Apple M1 (no idea what all this but assume it's useful for you). FF is my default browser. I use otter thru FF rather than an app on my Mac. In FF settings I've added otter ai to a list that allows website popups. I don't use Chatgpt or whatever it does on otter. I just want to export the text.
Sadly, otter ai customer support has been dismal. So, I've turned to you folks. I'm not super computer savvy, but hope I've done the basics to rule out issues. Oh, I've also logged out then in to Otter, rebooted my laptop a bunch- all the things to reset. Didn't work.
Thank you for your help!!!! Molly
