I have observed this bug only in Disqus, but another Disqus user has seen it in other web sites viewed via Firefox, so maybe you could check your logic. Here is the original bug:

When entering a Disqus comment [or possibly other text boxes] and using the Enter key to end the first paragraph, the text typed so far is erased. It can be recovered by immediately pressing Ctrl+Z (Undo), but this is not obvious; most users will think they just lost that text, and will retype it. This was sporadic for a year or two, but right now (morning of 10/2/2023) it seems to happen on every comment I type. In the past, it only occurred on the FIRST Enter key, at least if I recovered via Undo. The only contact I have with Disqus is in the comments on an episode of the Kevin and Kell webcomic (https://kevinandkell.com). I am running Windows 10 on a Bootcamp'ed Mac, and my browser is the latest version of Mozilla Firefox.

Disqus user FreedomFighter replied:

That is a common problem unique to Firefox. When you hit enter and the post erases, right click in the box and click on "Undo" to get the text back, then you can do what you need to do whether is type more words, or post the comment.

[His recovery is essentially the same as mine, only using the mouse rather than the keyboard.]

Could this be an interaction between Firefox and Disqus? I have not personally seen this on any other website via Firefox, but FreedomFighter apparently has seen it elsewhere.

For some time now I have been having trouble with viewing you tube video's. At times the video freezes or just sort of locks up. But, I don't have the same problem with other browsers, Chrome, Brave. So, it just seems with Firefox this issue pertains. Can some one please help so I don't experience the Firefox you tube problems. Thank you.

About three days ago, the dropdown lists for various websites I use stopped populating unless I use the backspace. So, for instance, if I want to find "John", nothing happens if I just start to type it in. But if I type in "Jo" and then backspace, John pops up. (Perhaps important: Even though I have now deleted the "o", only John pops up, not names beginning with J but followed by a different letter.) Curiously, it seems like the first time each day that I go onto any given website, the dropdown does populate properly, but just that once. I checked Edge and Chrome, and the dropdowns work fine there, so it's definitely a Firefox problem. Any ideas about what is going on and how I can fix it? Thanks.

I downloaded the latest Firefox for security which appeared on my page. I thought it was a good idea. However I play games in Facebook and do a lot of jigsaw type games. After downloading I could not load my games to play at all. It affected all of them. I just deleted the latest firefox and downloaded the one from the Mozilla page and now they work. Why did this happen. I like Firefox I like security however I do want to be able to use other sites that may have blocked or decided they do not like the way Firefox is taking away their advertising $$$$

Hi,

I am running Thunderbird for Windows 115.3.1 in Windows 11. I migrated from 52.9.1 (32 bit) on an old Windows Vista Computer and continue to have some minor problems with some of my email accounts not displaying the 'Sent' folder. [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1423211

Occasionally, Thunderbird will only check for emails in my Outlook accounts and not in any of my other accounts.

When I select File, Get New Messages from, All Accounts I can see in Tools, Activity Manager that the program has only checked the two Outlook accounts. All seven accounts are POP3. I get no messages saying there is any problem. If I shut down Thunderbird and restart Thunderbird, I still have the probelem. Sometimes, if I shut down Thunderbird and reboot the computer, the problem goes away but not always.

I've lost a previous session because firefox updated. This happens all the time. I've lost so much time and work due to restore previous session button being grayed out. Is there a way to go back? Or do I have to try to find all of the tabs one by one in history? Is there any other way? I never get my work back like that. It's so frustrating. I'm going completely crazy from this. Any help would be very appreciated.

I need to go back two sessions. Is there any way to access that?

I also lose everything every time I restart. If I'm not careful any immediately restore previous session, I lose it. Is there any way to fix this issue? To make firefox remember and restart in the previous session instead of starting a new one and deleting the previous one?

Hello,

I could not add the available RSS feeds for Cory Doctorow's blog to Thunderbird:

https://craphound.com/feed/

or

https://pluralistic.net/feed/

I've been trying over the past hour. However, when I tried again just now, it worked! I *can* add either of the RSS feeds to other RSS feed software so I know they are correct. Does anyone have any idea why they would suddenly start working again on Thunderbird?

Thanks,

Brad
