Hello Everyone,

When I open an email in Firefox browser it opens in right hand half of the page, unless I use the pop-out facility.

The heading is far too high and cannot be made any smaller.

If I enlarge the type - Ctrl + mouse wheel, or Accessibility + type size .- I cannot scroll.

When replying to an email, it opens in the bottom half of the left hand side.

Sometimes, the replying typed letters only show the first two lines of type and the mouse wheel causes them to disappear when scrolling. In this event, I have to type the words on a Word Document and copy and paste into the email reply space..

So I am unable to use Firefox comfortably.

I am sure there is a way to overcome this and I do not want to have to change my Browser, having used and got used to Firefox for over 20 years!

This has only recently started to happen, and being well past my sell-by date, I find technology a little confusing!

Any advice would be gratefully received, and obviously, faithfully applied!

Regards,

Colin

Im using firefox version 116.0.3

I've enabled the setting in about:config that requires my windows password when viewing/copying a password (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1318874)

Is it possible to have firefox authenticate me each time it autofills a password as well?

about:wecome about:welcome^privateBrowsingld=1

I have my Settings-Autoplay set to block audio and video. The above 2 entries have somehow been added recently. I remove them and hit save, but when I open the setting again, they are still there.

I have searched online and Firefox and have not found anything about them. Are they a problem?

Thank you.

I cannot click on the links in the search engines any longer. I did the Firefox refresh option. Now I dont have the extensions I had. I can't figure out how to install them without paying again, My ad blockers in particular. I went ahead and paid and now they do not show up in the extensions. I could not go to Twitter, the message said I was not connected to the internet. I am not sure what happened. I could not go to my email. I tried the troubleshoot mode and I could not figure out what to do next. I am using an apple iMac running Ventura 13.4.1. Any help would be appreciated.

Company add on slug is already in use

I am reaching out to kindly request your assistance in addressing an issue I've encountered while attempting to acquire a slug for "wakatime". Unfortunately, the system is indicating that the chosen slug is already in use, and I am seeking guidance on how we might proceed.

The slug I had in mind holds significant relevance to my project, aligning perfectly with its identity. If possible, I would greatly appreciate your help in either releasing the current assignment of the slug or providing recommendations for an equally suitable alternative. Your expertise in this matter would be invaluable, and I am committed to working together to find a solution that maintains the essence of my project. Thank you for your time and consideration.

There is no option to import passwords via csv in the import data that your "find help" suggests. Only importing from another browser. I thought you "Upgraded" this in version 116. What is going on with Mozilla? I see people have been complaining since 2021. As usual I will have to "improvise" due to lack of support. by improvise I mean downloading another "competent" web browser capable of importing from csv just so i can use it to import to firefox. YOU can figure that out but not from the same frickin file as every other browser. Pathetic! /

Hello all,

I had been using firefox as the standard browser for years, but since the DNS-over-HTTPS feature I have had trouble with protecting my family on the web via DNS filtering. Currently the only solution that has worked is to use a different browser (the Spin browser, for whoever is interested). I have Firefox blocked using the Android family link feature (and they can't install new apps without permission). Personally, I would love to move everyone back to Firefox, but I can't find a way to do it safely. Is there a way to effectively disable DNS-over-HTTPS such that it can't be changed (kids are pretty quick at figuring out that they can just go to the settings and figuring out that they can turn the feautre back on). A parental control feature would be ideal, so I can just set the DNS-over-HTTPS to use the family DNS filter in a way they can't turn it off. Does anyone have an helpful solution, or is Firefox dead for family protection?

Respectfully, Andrew

I went to use my eBay web page and part of the information is missing (see attachment). The seller information, etc., should show at the right hand side of webpage, but it is blank. I tried different pages and the same thing still occurred. I tried opening the same page on Microsoft Edge and there was no problem at all. I had no issue with eBay at all until I updated to Version 116.

I use Panorama Groups. If I click on a tab I then land on that page, however the tabs at the top of the screen seem to move so I lose where the place of the tab I clicked on. Its frustrating as I try and put relevant tabs close to each other so I can swap between them. Because this happens I have to go and hunt for the tab I am using as there maybe 20 or more in a group its a pain. Please help or even suggest an alternative group add-in. TIA
