I use firefox as my browser and to operate my 3d printers web interface, on my local network

with firefox the data that the printers display is very slow to update, for example if i input a movement command of say 10mm firefox takes at least a few second to display the number that corresponds to the movement change, its definitely firefox as opening the very same machine and sending machine commands in any other browser does not result in a data lag.

Like many others, I have used Firefox for a long, long time. Today (2/14/2023) is the last straw. I installed the latest upgrade and now my Bookmarks are all gone. When I say all gone, I mean "all gone." There is no backup, no previous dates, no nothing. I tried all the suggested by Firefox in the pages of the website. No help. And this is not an isolated instance. For the past several upgrades, many such issues have occurred with great frequency.

This time, my layouts were gone, my toolbar icons were gone - not even in the "Customize" option. This is ridiculous and it is getting quite tiring. I'm not sure what the criteria is for developers, but it seems like some of the open source resources could be saboteurs even though that sounds far-fetched.

For Mozilla, it boils down to this: either stop this problem so that it doesn't repeat or I (no doubt along with many others) will find it simple enough to relocate to another browser; maybe with fewer features but absolutely with fewer frustrations and difficulties.

I would prefer that Mozilla fix the situation permanently, but I am not averse to seeking simplicity and performance.

I have recently updated Firefox and now I see red dots around links across the internet. These are not links i have visited.

My research says they are to do with accessibility. I have found a function to set the to 0 or 1 but that has not removed them.

What can I do?

Hi, To start exporting Firefox Password Data to a file, the "Login data of the Windows User Account" has to be entered (pls. refer to attachment). What is meant by "Windows User Account"? Thanks so much for your help. Hans - presently in Munich, Bavaria, Germany

PS: I'm using the German Version of Firefox - so I translated back to English.

I'm a writer who relies heavily on instant access to Dictionary by Merriam-Webster. I recently got a new laptop and the dictionary will not load. It eventually will load but in a truncated looking format that is not useful. It works fine if I use Microsoft Explorer. I have cleared my cache but it still will not load and I have no trouble with anything else. This is super inconvenient. Is there some setting for Dictionary I'm missing?

At one time there was a userchrome patch which could be applied to obtain legacy-style square corners on the URL bar and the search bar. I can not get this to work despite trying several different suggestions and I suspect it may be related the the Proton redesign.

Can anyone suggest a userchrome mod to obtain the desired square corners?

Hi everyone,

since a recent Firefox update I no longer see my extensions / add-ons lined up next to the url bar but instead grouped together under a puzzle symbol. I would like to have them lined up one by one next to the url bar as it was but I cannot find any option to change this. Could anyone help me please?

Many thanks

Hi, Why is it that when I log out of my account after accessing help And I later come back to help the browser has remembered my password so I don't have to enter it? Doesn't strike me a particularly secure way for things to work. How can I make sure that if I log out i am fully logged out without having to re start the browser?

I have Firefox as my default browser (running on Windows 10), but after I have it open for a while I start having performance problems with my laptop because of the amount of memory and CPU that Firefox is using. A few minutes ago, I was having significant response delay while using LinkedIn through Firefox.

As I write this, I still have two LinkedIn windows open plus this support window. Firefox is using 2,340 MB of memory. Firefox CPU usage bounces up to 30-35 % range for several minutes at a time.

I love Firefox and have been using it for years. I hate Google Chrome, but I'm forced to use it once or twice a year. When I use Firefox and go to one of Google's apps, a lot of the text overlaps. I lowered my minimum text to 30% and although it's almost unreadable, I can see that the text still overlaps. This is something I've been living with for a long time. Today I tried the same Google.com pages using Google Chrome and everything looks fine. Why can't Firefox fix the overlapping text? If Google can do it, Firefox should be able to do it after all these years. The available add-ons do not work. Bob Brown
