Windows shortcuts stopped working after starting firefox

  • Alt+Tab
  • Windwows-key to open startmenu
  • Windows+E to open Explorer...
  • and so on...

Only one working involving the windows-key is Windows+L Control-Key-Shortcuts work fine...

1. Changed keyboard - No success 2. deleted keyboard-drivers forcing a reinstall - no success 3. checked windows keyboard-filters and game-mode - no success Even the On-screen-keyboard has the same problem

So i checked the shortcuts right after starting windows and they worked So i started the usual apps i use one by one and then in sequence

Shortcuts always stopped working after starting firefox

so i deinstalled it and reinstalled it... worked for 2 days... now we are back to "mouse-around-mode"

i can not figure out how firefox caches the keyboard shortcuts and why if it does stopps them from work

so is switching to opera the solution?

Help please!

This is in Thunderbird. I have a number of news feeds and they occasionally get stopped or paused. It's annoying. Is there a way to disable this paused account feature in Thunderbird? If I want an account paused, it should be my choice not Thunderbird's.

The password program does not display the entire page when I signed in and using the program. The program works perfectly using other browsers(Edge / Chrome), it's only on Firefox that I have this problem. I've worked with the password people and they can't fix the problem either.

I've attached a screen shot of problem. The box with the red bar at the top should also have a red bar box at the bottom, bit all you can see is a sliver of red at the bottom.

Release 104 Cross-site Redirect Issue

It appears with the latest update, 104.0, my customers are no longer able to log into their accounts with my web site. The console is showing the following warning:

Cookie "JSESSIONID" with the "SameSite" attribute value "Lax" or "Strict" was ommited because of a cross-site redirect.

So the JSESSION ID cookie is being omitted, which is preventing the login process from working correctly.

Going into settings => Privacy and Security and unchecking cookies from the Custom setup still doesn't fix the issue.

The behavior seems to be inconsistent as the same version of Firefox works fine for me on one machine, but generates this warning another, even with the same settings.

Can you explain in more detail why this is happening and steps to fix it?

Thank you, M. Warble

I love Multi-Account containers and use the extension daily, but Ive noticed two bugs: I created a new container specifically for Mozilla. I loaded up support.mozilla.org and addons.mozilla.org in separate "No Container" tabs; go to the URL bar, left-click "Always open this site in ..." and assign to the new Mozilla container. Those two tabs open up on the proper container as expected. However:

Bug #1 On either site, if I right-click on a link and tell it open in a different container, it'll happy do so -- when it should prompt with the "Open up in assigned container" and "remember my decision".

Bug #2 This deals with results from about:addons. If I enter in search text for "Find more add-ons" the resulting tab opens up in no container.

I thought: eh, I'll close the browser, re-open, re-do the container assignments -- yeah I did that twice for fun. Still not working as expected.

Recently (last month or so) I noticed a new behavior: when I receive PDF attachments via Yahoo e-mail, if I open them using Adobe Acrobat DC reader, and print them, after printing the Yahoo e-mail tab closes. So I have full functionality -- can open the PDFs, print them, everything good -- but then I have to restart Yahoo e-mail. Big pain.

This behavior is occurring on all three of my PCs (two laptops and a desktop), all of which are running latest Windows 11, and latest Firefox, and latest Acrobat reader.

For some reason when writing an email on outlook.live.com, the check spelling feature disappears from the right click context menu and spelling errors are not highlighted anymore. I don't have a known time that it does this, but it happens minutes after the outlook.live.com page was first loaded and it doesn't matter if I was reading or writing an email before I started writing an email. A refresh of the page fixes the issue temporarily.

Firefox Version 104 Up to date.

Re: https://www.familysearch.org/tree/ I normally use this site daily faultlessly. They did a major update on Saturday, Aug 20/22 and since then I cannot view images (in their old and new versions) and get this message: 'Attention: This site does not support the current version of your web browser. To get the best possible experience using our website we recommend that you upgrade to a newer version or install another browser."

I am a long time user of Mozilla programs and I refuse to change browsers. This problem is not occurring elsewhere. I thought it might be Mozilla VPN so turned it off but that changed nothing. Help appreciated, Fran

Hi there,

I am running Firefox (104) on Linux (Arch Linux) in the Sway WM on a laptop with a modern (2021) AMD CPU and integrated GPU. I have installed (and verified that it is working properly) all the necessary drivers (mesa, vaapi, etc.) and updates, yet under about:support, HARDWARE_VIDEO_DECODING is blocklisted by env: Blocklisted by gfxInfo. How can I find out what exactly is blocking it? Might there be an environment variable missing or something like that?

I know that I can force-enable it through a settings flag, but this is not what I am looking for, I want to know how I can find out why it is blocklisted. (Setting hardware acceleration manually works without issues)

I have looked at https://fossies.org/linux/firefox/widget/gtk/GfxInfo.cpp and starting from line 860, my setup should only be blocklisted if I do not use Mesa (but I do).

Additional information: XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP is set to "sway".

I would really appreciate if someone could point me in the right direction on how to find out why my setup is "blocklisted by env".
