I'm using an out of date Windows 10 laptop. I am aware of the Windows 10/11 thing. I know. I've got my own reasons for not updating this one, it's not my only device. I get it. I understand. I know. My settings are how they are on purpose. I do not need to be nagged in this fashion.

How do I turn this off? I can't find it in settings. It's not appearing on any of my other browsers. It's just Firefox. Please help, it's driving me crazy.

Thanks in advance.

Artifacts, micro dots when using Nvidea RTX 3060 and Firefox browser

I recently installed an rtx 3060 12gb on my old system (Win10, ga-h77-ds3h gen3 mobo + xeon ivy bridge cpu). I installed latest Nvidea Studio drivers. Everything seems fine apart from Firefox, which showed visible artifacts/flickering lines on the screen. I disabled hw acceleration in Firefox settings and now instead of the lines I just see micro dots which change position frequently. As recommended by AI i changed some other settings in about:config but the tiny dots are still there. Starting Firefox in safe mode they are still there. On MS Edge its fine, there are no dots/artifacts.

Is there something else that might fix this or there is nothing that can be done, its just how the rendering engine works on older systems and rtx 30s cards?

Hi, I wonder why the "m"-function isn't working anymore. For example, when I stream movies, I often use the “m” key to mute the sound. Recently, the search function has started appearing at the bottom as well. Is there a way to turn off this new function? If I want to search something I'd like to press buttons Shift + f as before. Thx for your attention. Cu.

Lately , when accessing some sites , I have been getting a blank screen with a video ad for Pandora Jewelry in the upper left corner. It takes over the tab a few seconds after opening the site. Does not seem to affect most sites (yet). Did a virus scan and a Malwarebytes scan. Both came up clean. Cookies and cache were deleted and the system rebooted. No luck. Tried restarting FF without extensions with the same results. The screen does not allow a screen shot.

Anyone else seeing this? Any clues? I am using Windows 11 Pro.

I am tired of this [removed] browser quitting, even when I don't have it open...I am going to uninstall it and NEVER install it again...I tried a full uninstall to see if it would fix whatever the [removed] issue with it was, but it is doing the same [removed] again!...I don't have this problem with any other browser I use on my system (Chrome, Brave, Opera and Tor)...I am tired of dealing with this [removed], so you can just take your [removed] and shove it!!!

How the hell does a browser crash when it isn't even being used???!!!

No need to respond and ask for any logs or other [removed], because it will all be gone!!!

TB will not let me create, reply or forward an email

After many years of using TB without any problems on an older computer with Win 10 I suddenly have this confusing little hiccup. If I hit New Message, Reply or Forward a small rectangular box (about 8 x 100mm) appears with a shaded outline in the centre of the screen where the body of the email would go. There is also a black lock with a red line through it at the start of the "Subject" line of the blank email, I don't think I have seen it there before but I maybe wrong.

Clicking inside the box gives nil response except on the far right on the formerly black X that has changed to a white X with a red background when it just deletes the whole page. No amount of right or left clicking outside the box gives any response except for the "error ding sound" and the box jiggles. The box can be dragged to the edge of the screen without any change in responses.

All other email functions work normally, there are no problems with receiving, reading or deleting emails. I do not know how to find out what version of TB that I have installed. So to sum up if I hit New Message, Reply or Forward the only thing TB will let me do is delete the new blank email that I want to send (once it is completed). I have not got the foggiest idea of what to do to fix the problem.

I restarted Firefox today to find you have removed all my 100+ tabs, which I had arranged in folders, and replaced the vertical settings I had with Tree Style Tabs, which in the past has always run slow. I was greeted with childish graphics inviting me to set up a profile and offering me an introduction to Firefox. I have been using Firefox for years, mostly happily, until you screw up the view I had spent hours setting up. You are turning into a cheap Microsoft but with even less consideration for your users. Will you correct this or do I need to search for a new browser? Francis Shennan, LL.B Writer, journalist and law lecturer.
