I know it takes just two mouse clicks to open the About dialog, but I'd like to bookmark it so when I check my daily bookmarks by right-clicking a folder and clicking "Open All Bookmarks", it would be displayed. This would be a convenient, albeit forceful, way to keep Firefox up-to-date. The About dialog isn't modal, so that shouldn't be an issue.

Up to 126.0b9, files with encoded URLs in their filenames downloaded normally. As of 127 onward, however, it gets changed to _3A instead of %3A, etc. Is there a setting somewhere in config to revert this?

Example:

Hi, Just received your "Webpages, simplified" notice and it triggered two improvements you can easily make so Firefox is more accessible to users with disabilities.

  • Make buttons more descriptive "Learn More About Reader View" makes all the difference to someone using a screen reader. Imagine skimming a page where all the links just say "Learn More." This is pervasive across Firefox and easy to fix! (See screenshot of your page, attached.)
  • Add link to accessibility features or Mozilla's accessibility statement at the bottom of every page. I should not have to do a search to find out about accessibility. See example screenshot from Univ. of California, attached.

I have a website that I go to frequently that does not require a username, only a password. However, on Firefox it insists on a username, and won't let me enter the site without one. The website owner simply does not require a username. I just tried to check into another site and it insisted my password was wrong. I had just changed it and knew it to be correct in format. This relay system is screwing up my browsing and I want it off my machine. Help me!

As the title says, I got a problem with Android version of Firefox that sometimes on some webpages it just hangs and doesn't load the page at all. While it's hanging there if i try to open extension settings it doesn't even load that, just opens blank page. Only way around it is to close tab and try again later. Sometimes i can just close tab and on next try it works, sometimes it just doesn't. I've had same issue with PC version of Firefox and it seems to be fixed after disabling HTTPS over DNS. On Android I've tried changing network.trr.mode to 5 but with no luck. Also ive tried disabling extensions and changing some options but whatever I do it just still keeps happening. Btw its a new install after years of not using Firefox, perhaps because of the same issue.

I am unable to load the video pages on prime video in firefox. Instead of loading the video's page, it gives me a black screen and says "That shouldnt' have happened. It looks like something went wrong on our side. Let's find you a great video to watch instead." It works fine in Chrome, and other streaming sites like Netflix also work. I tried upgrading firefox, and upgraded to 129.0 (64 bit), but the same error is still happening. I contacted Amazon support, they couldn't figure it out, and told me to talk to Firefox support.

I disabled ublock origin, and disabled trackign protection, and error still occurs.

There has to be a way, but I can't find it. How do we enlarge the font size for tabs, toolbar, favorites, search bar etc. I like that we can customize the colors but the font size seems to have been left out. I know we can ctrl + to enlarge what's in the browser window but this has no effect on the actual browser fonts. They are wayyyy to tiny. Is there a fix for this?

I play the game at https://word-salad.archive.org/, but most of the time it's considered insecure. This is the error I get: Error code: SSL_ERROR_INTERNAL_ERROR_ALERT. Yet, it will come on if I enter the url later in the day. Do you know why it's a hit and miss url? I would think that if they fixed it once, it would be okay.
