Hello everyone.

Firefox updated today. I don't know—maybe some people like the new design of the tabs, the buttons in the drop-down menus, and the gradient borders around the active tab and the tab bar itself. But I’d like to revert to the old interface. How can I do that?

Thanks!

I get this dozens of times in a session. As far as I can tell it doesn't affect performance. I found a solution about using notification-daemon for Ubuntu from 4 years ago that doesn't apply to Slackware. I like to eliminate error reports. I don't even know what this means. Knowing would be great, even if I can't stop it. Just eliminating the error report, if it's harmless, would be nice.

I can not access the internet, as expected, due to an unsure connection.  

Is there a way for me to upgrade foxfire? Can I fix the secure connection issue and use still https? Is there a dependence that is needed? What do you suggest? thxs Mart

Bugzilla Report Package

Product: Developer Tools

Component: General / Debugger

Title: [Source Map Loader] Worker crash due to unhandled JSON.parse error on non-JSON/HTML responses in fetchSourceMap.js

Description:

When fetching source maps in a worker context, fetchSourceMap.js occasionally encounters an unexpected non-JSON response (such as an HTML error page or 404 response starting with ). This causes an unhandled JSON.parse exception at line 83 (_fetch), crashing the source map consumer.

Stack Trace: Plaintext

Source map error: Error: JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data Stack in the worker: parseSourceMapInput@resource://devtools/client/shared/vendor/source-map/lib/util.js:163:15 _factory@resource://devtools/client/shared/vendor/source-map/lib/source-map-consumer.js:1069:22 SourceMapConsumer@resource://devtools/client/shared/vendor/source-map/lib/source-map-consumer.js:26:12 _fetch@resource://devtools/client/shared/source-map-loader/utils/fetchSourceMap.js:83:19

Proposed Patch (fetchSourceMap.js - Line 83): JavaScript

// Replace direct unhandled parse at line 83 with safe parsing: const sourceMap = (() => {

 try {
   const trimmed = responseText ? responseText.trim() : "";
   if (trimmed.startsWith("<") || trimmed.startsWith("

Well, I am in a real mess. Three days ago I lost the ability to access my favourite website. I CAN access the website in the Brave browser. The website owner has told me that it is not a problem with my account with them so it must be a Firefox issue. Before this happened I had been trying to move and delete files on my laptop and have got very confused about EVERYTHING. In that I had deleted my Firefox recovery folder(s). I have managed to move them back into my Home folder before they expire. Now I am being asked to enter my "password" to initiate the restore. But the several Firefox passwords in my laptop are not being accepted. How can I get a new password? If that is not possible do I have to delete my Firefox account? What is my best way to recover from this mess? Any advice is greatly appreciated.

I'm using Mozilla's Firefox Debian package, Firefox 155.0.1 (64-bit), on a desktop. Until this version, my compose key worked with no problem, in Firefox and all other applications. Now it works with all other applications, but not Firefox.

My .bashrc includes this line: export GTK_IM_MODULE=xim

I checked about:config, and focusmanager.testmode is set to false.

Any ideas? I can't type my name without the compose key...

As of noon yesterday my Thunderbird gets messages, puts them in the trash, then the spam and then sends a message to "spam" at my email provider. Since noon yesterday, I don't get email messages. I don't know what else it could be. If I go to the webmail, I get messages, but as soon as I download them with T-bird, they are in the trash and then sent as a spam notification to my email provider. I really use t-bird a lot so I would really hate to stop using it, it's much more useful than the webmail. Thanks

Greetings!

I have a few questions if you'd be willing to answer.

There have been some changes and new additions to the croatian dictionary (https://github.com/krunose/hunspell-hr) and as such, the Firefox dictionary could be updated.

Can you confirm that the dictionaries and language packs are separate additions and that the dictionaries are used for spellchecking? https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/language-tools/

When is the spellcheck dictionary installed, only when the user installs it or when the user installs a language pack?

In addition, the croatian dictionary has not been active for the past eight years. Maintainer of the current hunspell-hr dictionary has said that person behind the croatian dictionary extension has not responded for several years. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/croatian-dictionary/ https://github.com/akoncic/mozillacroatiandictionary

What are your suggestions how to handel the situation? There is already a fork of the extension that is used as a pull request but has not been merged for years. https://github.com/krunose/mozillacroatiandictionary

Thank you for your understanding.

Have a wonderful rest of the day.

Maybe I accidentally made a setting, but if I go get email, it sends it to trash and from there marks it as spam and sends it to spam at my email provider. This just started when I tried it this afternoon. I think it was OK in the AM. I use Linux Ubuntu. It moves all emails to trash and then sends them. I just looked at my message filters and they look normal to me, I do have something called SpamAssasinYes, which I remember from years ago that looks at the whole complete header and sends an email to all the providers in it telling them that their user is using their server for spam. Maybe that has changed somehow, but I forgot it was there because it has been there for about 20 years. Should i just remove all those filters and see what happens? I need some guidance. thanks

Where is a link, icon, or ANY WAY to add a shortcut site to my Ubuntu FF **DESKTOP** homescreen?

I already have 4 rows (since 2013 over many Linux laptops. Ubuntu, Mint, popOS, and now Ubuntu 26.04 LTS).

There is room in the fourth row for a few more. BUT I don't see any icon or link or right-click option to add another!

Phrasing the article search various ways gets me a lot of unrelated stuff.

EVERY help article, of which there are few, seems to have a BIG-ASSumption that everyone is using mobile Firefox.

NO! NO three dots. No right click brings up anything. NOTHING in settings. I've been through everything in the 3-bar menu, and there is NOTHING. (I already use it to sync, go to OTHER settings, go to help, etc.)

This is a day after an update, though I don't know how that affects it.

Usually if I forget how I did something, I just explore and find it. BUT --

My way of adding new shortcuts seems to be GONE.
