Hello,

The speeds I'm getting both on and off a VPN is slower than other browsers. I've compared Firefox to Google, Brave and Edge. All are much faster, especially in the upload speeds.

Please advise, Rodney

When use chrome I can double click with select IP address. But It's only select one number in Firefox. I think the chrome behavior is more compatible habits of people.

I know layout.word_select.stop_at_punctuation config . But It's not. In chrome, only dot will be part of number.

for example: this is a IP: 1.1.1.1, you can try it.

in chrome will get: this is a IP: "1.1.1.1", you can try it.

but in Firefox only select 1

I tried changing my IP address with a free IP address in Network Settings but that didn't work (because I searched my address online and it didn't change) so I added Firefox "Hide my IP" extension and that didn't work, either. I went to a few websites and I got popups telling me I needed to hide my IP address. How can I change my IP address without paying for a VPN?

After some recent updates, I cannot download any file, especially pdf.

"Share" -> "Save as PDF" does not work for me.

When I click any download button, either for pdf or other type of file, the download progress bar is animated indefinitely without any visible progress, no files are appearing on my phone.

LEDGER/METAMASK CONNECTION PROBLEM

I have a Ledger Nano S crypto wallet. Not all cryptos show directly in my Ledger and I wish to use MetaMask to view them. When using Chrome, with my Ledger connected and active, my Ledger doesn't connect due to "unknown error". When using Firefox, with my Ledger connected and active, my Ledger similarly doesn't connect due to "unknown error" although in this case there was an additional screen note from Firefox regarding "ongoing problems connecting Ledger devices to MetaMask (origin April 23?)". When using Brave browser there is not a problem viewing my tokens (although a different problem is that I lose token upgrade functionality - hence my desire to connect Ledger to MetaMask using a different browser - preferably Firefox). I use the latest versions of the browsers and Windows 10 in conjunction with Avast One anti-virus. I’ve also cleared cookies and cache several times. All drivers and software are up to date. Any thoughts on rectifying my connection problem please?

In sites such as Instagram and LinkedIn (these were the ones I noticed this happening), after I close an overlay containing a post and its comments by clicking outside of it, it starts selecting everything, as if I'm holding the mouse button. Clicking again stops selecting. And as fas as I know, this is only in Firefox (doesn't happen in Chrome nor Edge).

I've tried disabling all extensions, and it still happens.

I've also posted this as a reddit thread here, with a video attached showing the problem happening: https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/19d2fv6/in_firefox_everytime_i_close_an_overlay_it_starts/

Cannot get my phone's default DNS resolver to be used by Firefox. My network has an intranet complete with it's own DNS, which my phone's receives via DHCP. Android 'Private DNS' is turned off. The routing on my network is fine, as evidenced by being able to access my intranet from other mobile browsers on the same device. All add-ons are turned off, as well as 'Enhanced Tracking Protection' and 'HTTPS-Only Mode'. Any explanations, or more importantly, suggestions?

Hello,

Safari has a menu option to "Close All Windows" (Command, alt W).

I am curious to know why Firefox doesn't.

The only way to close-all that I am aware of, is to quit Firefox and restart. Very frustrating!

There are sub-menu functions for individual tabs and such, but no simple way to clear the browser.

(I'm on Mac OS Sonoma)

Thanks

I downloaded some files while in private browsing. I'm absolutely positive they fully download as I was able to see them in my gallery and set some as a phone wallpaper. After I closed the tab/private mode, all the files were just gone. I do not have the setting to delete on exit enabled.

One file that I chose to delete myself was able to be restored so I was able to see I wasn't going crazy, but all the other ones don't even come up as deleted in Total Commander or anywhere else on my device.

i just opened Firefox and saw the screen shown in the image below, although i have a problem. Opera is listed as a browser. it is actually spyware and i would like it if you guys did a bit of research to confirm and maybe put a warning sign next to opera so Firefox users can warn opera users to switch browsers
