I enjoyed the functionality of the sports widget during the world cup. Are there any plans to make it useful for other sports? is there some kind of API to mess around with to build your own firefox homescreen widgets? I'd love to see MLB schedules/scores/updates populated on the new tab page.

Hello, Seems that after the last update when I go to some websites at times the tab thinks its still loading until I stop it. This is happening on both of my Macbook Pros which are about 6 yrs apart age wise. I kept thinking it would stop doing this but that hasn't happened. Secondary browsers work fine. Open to suggestions. Also some AI usage trackers slowly stopped working but I can't image that's related. Thanks

I can not get extra info from troubleshooting page cause FF won't open so as to be used.

It says to drag and drop but that does not work. I minimized both windows and dragged the one tab to the 'larger' window and nothing happens. My email keeps opening in a new window and it never did before. It was a tab in my original window, and now it is so much harder for me to work.

Hi there I can't find any solution online for this online so hoping someone can help to explain what is causing this issue.

I have been using Firefox since it came out and have never had an issue retrieving a password. Now neither the 'eye' link to view or the 'copy' link works. I even tried the export - that didn't do anything either. The only thing different is that I am now on a newer (for me) iMac 2020 - using macos - SeQuoia 15.7.4

Not sure if this will effect the browsers security but I do use Bitdefendor - Traffic light is not active on Firefox - just Safari.

Recommendations? Thank you Renée

System: Linux Mint 22.3 Xfce Firefox web-browser: mint-001 - 1.0 _ 155.0.1 (64-bit) Hardware: Both on my Desktop and Laptop computers.

Since the recent updates, 1-2 weeks, every time I try to enter a character via Unicode insertion, CTRL+ALT+U, the character does not insert but a row break. I made a video about it: https://youtu.be/OP9UCGpZdEc

This happens in every website I use; mostly likely on every website.

Is there anything I can do now?

Thank you for your time reading this. 🙇

Screen flickering when scrolling on sites when multiple videos are on screen

When I'm on websites such as Reddit or Facebook, and I'm scrolling down, if I come across more than one post where there is a video, the screen will start to flicker. Only one video will play, but the screen flickers. If there is only one video on the screen, it is fine.

I can turn off Hardware Acceleration and this will resolve the issue, however, when I go to other sites such as Apple TV or GeoGuessr, the sites lag until I turn Hardware Acceleration back on.

The issue seems to be between Hardware Acceleration and when multiple videos are loading on a page.

I get this dozens of times in a session. As far as I can tell it doesn't affect performance. I found a solution about using notification-daemon for Ubuntu from 4 years ago that doesn't apply to Slackware. I like to eliminate error reports. I don't even know what this means. Knowing would be great, even if I can't stop it. Just eliminating the error report, if it's harmless, would be nice.

You just introduced a new "HTTPS-Only Mode" -- as of the last version or two, it no longer allows access to an "http://" site. All such sites are blocked only by Firefox. Is there a fix?

Ever since the latest update i've noticed my firefox browser after using it for a while starts eating up all the ram until my computer freezes and needs to restart, i've heard this issue happen to others too but i am wondering if there are any ways to prevent it or will there be any updates to fix it?

I use my firefox on bazzite and have nothing else running in the background, after a while i watch the stats in my task manager and i see firefox using over 10GB of ram and climbing and have to shut it down before it freezes my pc

(can't show any screenshots because if i do then my pc would probably crash when trying to SS it while it has its problem)
