I have cleared the cache, cookies and history. I can use Google Chrome just fine, but do not want to. They only way that I can get to any website is via Troubleshooting Mode. This is getting quite frustrating. I see that others are having the same problem. I use the Standard for browsing. This has been going on for a couple weeks. At first, I tried to get it to work by changing to No Proxy, it was working. Then it did not. I have read through what others are going through and they seem to have the same problem. There has to be some way to fix this. I even ran a complete virus scan that takes up to 10 minutes, and it did not find an issue, so I think this is a major bug on the Moz://a side. Any help would be greatly appreciated. You guys are the best!! Thank you.

Attached is a picture I took of what I'm experiencing. At first I thought it was an issue with my monitor or perhaps my computer hardware, but it seems to only affect Firefox. Besides the obvious black squares you can see, I invite you to look at the top of the page displayed. Where it talks about Megan thee stallion, the "a" and "n" of "Megan" are kind of cut off by something.

I also experienced twice, maybe three times the whole page going blank for a second or so before returning to normal (not my whole screen, just the firefox browser). I just checked and Firefox is up to date.

I don't know if this is relevant, but I also checked Windows Defender and saw it had detected a threat, named Win32/OfferCore. I have since deleted it and have started a complete analysis of my computer which is still underway.

My OS is Windows 10. I hope this can be resolved, as currently it is stopping me from being able to read an article on Wikipedia, with many of the letters being kind of cut in the same fashion as with "Megan".


Thanks for any help, it'll be appreciated

"command n" on mac sonoma sometimes freezes - all status bar items except for the "firefox" drop down frozen

I'm running the latest version of Sonoma, and Mozzila / firefox was just upgraded. Once I upgraded to Sonoma I began to notice that command n would not open a new window "sometimes" - none of the dropdown from the status bar worked - except "firefox" - I can drop that down with mouse and click on "setting" which seems to "wake it up" and it functions normally. It just can't wake up if it moves to running in the background, tab applications over to firefox and then command n to open a new window - Anyone else experience this - I can't find a setting?

I'm not very computer savvy but I followed a website a few months ago to edit Firefox so it'd default to dark mode. I think I went in and edited source code? I can't find the instructions anymore but I'd like to revert back to the original setting. How do I do that? I tried to refresh Firefox but it's still coming back with some websites in dark mode and some not. Please advise!

Dear Community,

I am trying to download a large file. Am on a course, and the main tutor has given the group a file to download. Have tried downloading this 5 times, but get little luck. The file that I would want to download is 8.5GB, and the furthest I get is about 4GB.

I have 2 questions about this.

1) I seem to have a very 'in and out internet connection. It seems to go down at times for no reason, cutting off the download. Is there anything I could do about this? How could I troubleshoot this, please? 2) Does anybody know of any special tools that I can use to download in a more efficient manner, please? Perhaps an extension for Firefox might be able to do this, perhaps? Kind Regards to Anyone Answering this Query, Marek

Missing Unicode spacing characters.

For some time, I’ve been using characters like em spaces (U+2003, or ‘ ’), thin spaces (U+2009, or ' ’), and hair spaces (U+200A, or ‘ ’) on my webpages, and up until a f… (read more)

For some time, I’ve been using characters like em spaces (U+2003, or ‘ ’), thin spaces (U+2009, or ' ’), and hair spaces (U+200A, or ‘ ’) on my webpages, and up until a few revisions ago, Firefox was displaying them appropriately. Rather abruptly, they were replaced with boxes.

This doesn’t appear to be a font problem; it happens with every font, including several that I’ve verified have the character in question. (In the image below, it’s in Times Roman, but I’ve tried Noto Sans, Arno Pro, and half a dozen others.)

Does anyone know why this is happening, and does anyone know a workaround?

If I add sites to 'Exceptions - HTTPS-Only Mode' list, I expect that sites are preserved after browser close and restart. But after I close and restart Firefox, the list become empty.

I don't know why this happens. I even deleted every profiles and created new profile. The problem still exists.

Is there any way to manually add HTTPS-Only exception list by editing files in profile directory like 'prefs.js' as a workaround? If Firefox can't save the data, I will manually edit that file and mark it as read-only.
