This problem appears on MacOS 10.13.3 but NOT Linux Mint 19.3 (Tricia).

Repeat-by:

1. Start here:

       https://www.cnn.com/

That page should load cleanly.

2. Now click on "Live Updates", which is the top entry in the middle column of that page, and as of 3 April 2022 11:20 AM EDT takes you to:

       https://www.cnn.com/europe/live-news/ukraine-russia-putin-news-04-3-22/index.html

On MacOS, that page loads and is momentarily visible; then the page/tab it's loaded in goes blank. On Linux, that page loads as expected and remains visible.

Notes:

The problem did not happen with Firefox 88.0.1/MacOS.

The problem does not happen with Firefox 98.0.2/Linux, i.e., it appears to be specific to MacOS.

The problem remains whether extensions are enable or disabled (one a time or all at once).

The problem remains after the cache has been flushed and pages have been reloaded.

The problem remains after Firefox has been (completely) shut down and (cleanly) restarted.

The problem does not happen with Chrome/Chromium on either MacOS or Linux.

The problem also happens on *some* other pages on CNN's site (but not all) and on *some* (but not all) pages of other sites but there doesn't seem to be a pattern that explains which URLs exhibit it and which don't. This suggests that it's not privacy settings or extensions or anything like that, because there's no reason for those to vary from page to page within any one site.

If I'm VERY fast on hitting the "X" that stops a page loading/rendering while in progress, and I get the timing just right, I can catch it before the page/tab goes blank. So it appears that Firefox is in fact fetching all the content and can render it, but then for some reason is blanking the page/tab once that's done.

The attached screenshot shows what the problematic page (from step 2 above) looks like on Linux. On MacOS it's blank, so I didn't include a screenshot of that.

Hello, I have the question while using Firefox.

When I browsing the websites via Firefox, I found that Firefox uses two groups in keyshare(x25519,secp256r1), while other browsers use single group(x25519) in the keyshare. So I tried to find where I can set up keyshare part in my Firefox, but I cannot find it.

Can you explain where can I find the setting for the keyshare in the Firefox?

Thanks!

This has been going on for about half a year. Often when I try to comment on Reddit there will be a glitch in which text cannot be written or eddited notmally, such as:

  • the new words being typed are now suddenly being typed at the front of the comment and are replacing the old words as I type
  • if I click to the end again it might also replace these lattermost words when I type
  • pressing backspace to delete words may leave the same characters but the blinker will move back through the letters as though I was simply pressing the left arrow key to move back
  • backspace does nothing
  • writing is impossible

Firefox is up to date

Thunderbird usually performs very well for me. Although sometimes a new email is received showing a weird timestamp that is obviously incorrect. As an example, right now the time of day at my location is 1:18 EST. So far, my received emails today have times ranging from 5:03 am to 1:16 pm. Except for one. It shows today's date but 5:31 pm. A time in the future. If I look at that same email on my iPhone, it displays a more acceptable time of 9:19 am.

This started occurring about 2 months ago and happens about once a week. All from spam. So this is no big deal but I'm curious why. Does anyone have an explanation? Thanks, Reeka

Hi, Please bear with me, I understand very little! In 2012 the business I work for was taken over by a new boss. The previous one set me up with a new email address which he set to be used with my gmail account.

My new boss wants to move clients but my email account is not included in the addresses she wants to move. Her email addresses are showing up on Eclipse. My email address/account isn't there. The previous boss was using Thunderbird. Is my email account there? Or does it need added to Eclipse?

I have no idea how to access or log in to Thunderbird to see if my address is there?

How do I find out who is hosting my email account?

I have no idea if I have explained this properly. I access my work email through my personal gmail (POP, IMAP???) but have no idea where it really "lives"!

Hello, I have encountered a lasting issue: Firefox' telemetry collection process causes a cmd window to pop up briefly. The windows sometimes lingers a split second later, and if I accidentally click it at that time, whatever program I'm in will get minimized and I'm back on the desktop with cmd window at front. You might want to have a look at that, I disable my telemetry for time being. Firefox version is 99.0.1 (64 bits), operating system is Win10 10.0.19043. Respond for other data you might need. Best, Michal
