In February this year I started having an issue with reading pdf formatted statements from my bank' (bank and personal information removed). Initially I thought it was some change at the bank so I sent the letter below to my bank.

Further experimenting with Microsoft Edge and Firefox leads me to believe the issue may be with recent changes to firefox. The attached jpg file shows the problem, though not a solution.

I would be curious to know if there is some (new) setting in Firefox to correct the problem.

re: document access on site

You have evidently made some changes in your account display and I have to tell you there are issues with it.

Previously the account document came up as PDF. Today I accessed the current statement and immediately noticed the change in display format.

I usually do two things here. First I print the document. The print button worked as expected. Next I SAVE a copy for future reference. The download button DID NOT WORK.

I had to use the print save to file function. This is where I found the problem. I saw this when I checked my print queue as well. Instead of PDF the document is now PDF.js viewer.

I have to ask why you went to java script when the original PDF format worked properly every time?

On the plus side, my pdf viewer still reads the saved file. It is the unnecessary print to file step to which I object.

I am not at all happy with this change and would encourage you to return to the previous process. Since it was NOT BROKE I am at a lost to understand WHY YOU FIXED IT.

Firefox149开始，网页看抖音，每滑到下一条就卡顿2，3秒，换回148及之前的版本就没这问题 Starting from Firefox 149, when watching Tiktok videos on the web, there is a lag of 2-3 seconds every time I swipe to the next item. Switching back to versions 148 and earlier does not have this issue， https://www.douyin.com/

Sometimes I need to open XML files on my PC or in a network folder. If I open the file in the first tab in Firefox, it displays a neat and formatted rendering that makes it easier to read. However, if I open yet another tab, it displays a sequential text file that's difficult to read. How can I apply the style of the first tab to all open tabs? I've attached explanatory images (I hope). The second image shows how I'd like the XML file to always be displayed, regardless of the tab's position. Firefox 149.0.2 on windows 11

I get the error "connection to server pop-server.triad.rr.com was reset" when running Thunderbird and then I get no email.

Don't know if it is relevant but I did try VPN beta in Thunderbird some time before the above error happened.

PS I can't get any email if you respond to me there.

All of a sudden I could not access our local electronic paper with FireFox. As it turn out the problem was caused by my virus protection software had the "Ad Blocker" turned on. When I turned the option off then I could access the paper. I called customer service and they evidently had done something with ads, but the person I was talking with could not tell me what it was. There suggestion was to use a browser that did not block ads regardless of the setting of my virus protection software. I do not understand how a browser can override the setting in my virus protection software.

My question is does FireFox have an option to turn off an ad blocker for a given URL?

Opening a link in email with control key now switches to browser (Firefox). Previously, pressing the control key when opening a link did not switch to browser. This is handy for opening multiple links in an email without switching to browser each time. Is there a setting somewhere to restore the previous behavior?

Recently my system updated Firefox to version 149.0.2. It works great! However, it will not display my homepage which is yahoo.com. I can go to any other website and everything is normal. But when I click on the little house for "Homepage" it briefly displays and then goes blank.

This does not happen when I use a different browser.

Please advise.

Why does a calendar reminder open in edit mode when you select it. If you go to the calendar and open it you are presented with the information and the attachments. If you click on the reminder you must click on details and then you must select "Edit only this occurrence" or "Edit all occurrences" and then select "Attachments".

Why is there not an option to have the reminder open as it would if you selected it in the calendar?

How do we (users) modify Firefox functionality to "open image in new tab" using a keyboard shortcut? A configurable (about:) parameter would be very beneficial.

If this is already solved, please publish documentation on how to solve this without the use of questionable add-on's (which introduce security risks and privacy issues).

Thank you...

The camera just won't work on google meet. It works on zoom and teams just fine. The camera preview before joining a meeting on google meet also works just fine. Sometimes it works on private mode but not always. It works perfectly on other browsers. I have turned off extensions, removed protections and restrictions, created a whole other user account on my laptop and installed firefox on it just to test it out (without signing in/syncing settings) and it still won't work. It doesn't matter whether I'm signed into a google account or not or if it's my meeting or someone else is the host. On private mode it only works if I'm signed out but again not always. Not sure what's up

Hi,

This is since the last 2 updates.

I usually maintain 2-3 active windows with multiple tabs. Everytime I turn off my PC, when I turn it on again, and I open Firefox, all my windows and tabs would be restored as I last left them. And if I accidentally closed the windows, I can select reopen Recently Closed Windows.

But since the last 2 updates, after I close the window, the option to reopen Recently Closed Windows were still grey.

And it's a hassle that every time I restart my computer, I need to go to Restore Previous Session to have my tabs open again.

And if I or another user opens it and started a new tab/session without restoring, I will no longer be able to restore my previous sessions and would lose all my tabs.

Can you please tell me why the feature is changes, and is there a way I can easily restore my previous sessions without the trouble.

Thank you.

Jennifer
