I am writing to report an issue with the page frequently auto-refreshing. This feature causes a significant disruption, especially when I am in the middle of entering information into data fields, such as forms, passwords, or One-Time Passwords (OTPs).

Every time the page automatically refreshes, all the data I have input is lost, forcing me to restart the process from the very beginning. This happens repeatedly and is extremely frustrating.

I request that this auto-refresh functionality be disabled. It would be much better if the refresh action could only be initiated manually by the user. This would ensure that data being entered remains intact without interruptions that cause the process to restart.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Subject: Issue Report: Automatic Page Refresh Causes Data Loss in Forms

Problem Description: The page/screen automatically and continuously refreshes on its own without user command.

Impact of the Issue: This automatic refresh is highly disruptive because:

1. It erases all data currently being entered into forms (e.g., user details, passwords, OTPs).

2. It forces the user to repeatedly restart the data entry process from scratch.

3. It significantly hinders and slows down the completion of any task on the page.

Suggested Solution: Please disable the automatic refresh feature. The refresh action should be user-initiated only (e.g., via a manual refresh button or a "pull-to-refresh" gesture) to prevent data loss during input. Thank you.

Wikipedia render Thai fonts correctly. But it seems to render Latin texts and numbers in "TH Charm of AU" font for Thai articles, which I did not set anywhere in the browser (and my operating system). Ticking "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of your selections above" does not fix it either. But it renders fonts correctly in English version of the same article. (See the attached images).

Any ways to fix this?

Thanks in advance.

Recently starting having the issue where some whites and the tab icons appear washed out and even glitched out and pink when using my PC. I haven't made any significant changes to my system as far as I recall.

Colours in other browsers and applications are effected. Going to the same webpage on both Brave and Edge shows the whites correctly. On all the games on my PC there are no glitches in colours.

I have tried a few fixes already: -Removing and re-downloading GPU drivers - Fixes the issue temporarily. After about 1 day the issue comes back. -Re-seating the GPU - No fix. -Turning off colour override in Firefox - No fix. -Uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox - No fix.

If anyone has an idea or knows the setting that may be causing this problem I would really appreciate it.

Cannot open Analyst links on eTrade website. Looking at a particular stock and clicking on the Analysts link opens another window showing individual analysts and articles relating to their opinions of this stock. I cannot click on either the analyst's name nor the articles associated with their name. eTrade customer service says Firefox is not working well on their site. I tried Microsoft Edge and everything was fine. Is there some feature I should enable on Firefox or is this a shortcoming in Firefox?

When using any Microsoft 365 product on the browser I keep getting a prompt to "Please sign in" although I am already signed in. I can click the Sign in button and a about:blank page pops up for a split second. Then within a half hour or so, it will pop up again. I deleted my cookies but the problem still persists.

How to reorganize Address Books in TB 115?

I want to declutter my list of address books (see attached screenshot) by copying (or moving) the contents of some of them so that their contents appear in a different address book as "subfolders" (i.e., as a lists) nested within that address book. I can then hide the lists and delete the address books whose contents I copied. I've tried several ways to do this but have had no success. For example, I selected a set of contacts within one of the address books, then clicked on New List, typed a List Name, selected an address book where I wanted the contacts to go, and clicked OK. A new list was created within the selected address book but only the names and email addresses of those contacts appeared in the address book. I'd like all the info for the contacts to be copied to the selected address book.

Any ideas for how to do this?

Thanks for your help.

How can I get the paste mechanism working again?

I am one of those old-fashioned guys who has a title bar on the main window, and inside this (from top to bottom) a menu bar (File/Edit/View etc), then the current set of tabs, then the address bar.

I can click in the address bar and the caret appears, but the moment I start to type anything to edit the URL the address bar jumps up to to the top of the window, covering up the menus and tabs, with a menu of suggested URLs that at times covers most of the rest of the screen. Some images attached to show what I mean.

This started in a recent-ish release -- it didn't use to do this.

How can I prevent this behaviour, so I can just edit a URL in place the way I used to without the address bar jumping to the top of the window?

Currently using FF 135.0 (64-bit), Windows 11.

Hello,

I created a 1+-minute video on my YouTube channel and then posted it to my GoogleSite. But Firefox will not allow it to play because it is embedded from another site. Can you kindly help me understand how to get around this?

My goal is to create content on YT that only I can embed on my site. Yet it does not seem that there are options allowing for this. My desire is to share some wondrous FREE visual content AND to protect it by funneling it to my site.

Please know that I am not a techie as you most likely are, so your explanation is appreciated. And your assistance! Thank you. MC { yt is @ starbrightone7 } { website is wwwDOTharmoniccoherence.co ... the ABOUT page }

Firefox on MacOS in full screen mode makes the black offset between the screen edge and the Firefox window after logging in after MacOS is locked. It fixes itself when you exit the full screen and enter it again.

How to reproduce?

  • Open Firefox and enter the full screen mode
  • Close your MacBook and wait until it prompts you for your password or touch id
  • The Firefox window has black offset between screen edge and the Firefox window, that was not present before
  • Exit the full screen and get into it again, and the offset is gone
