Hi Just a quick one, I am using a VPN but everytime I open my browser I get bombarded with this dam acatcha and it takes ages to clear it, please there is bound to be away I can turn this off.......

If I want to edit a URL or type one in or just use the address bar as a search bar, the field converts to a light blue highlight as soon as I click on it. I am no longer able to see what I am typing or to check what is there. No type shows up at all, even if I highlight it, though I know it is there.

The first screenshot shows what I see as soon as I click on that field. Before clicking, I will see the URL.

The second screenshot shows what happens when I try this on a new page without a URL already in the bar. After a few characters, what I'm typing appears in a little popup right below the address bar. I assume this is normal. But if I want to see or revise a URL, I am not able to see it in order to do so.

I can’t figure out how to fix this! Any ideas?

I use Google Drive with two accounts.

Thumbnails are displayed on one of them. No matter what I do, thumbnails don't appear on the other one.

Both appear on Google Chrome. They also appear on my smartphone.

I would like to know why they don't appear on some accounts.

I've just realized that this laptop is labled as a Windows 10. But it is not a Windows 10, it's a Windows 11. What do I, or should I do? Or does this really make any difference or matter?

Greetings:

On my webpage, I need to use canvas to draw two other pictures decoded by webassembly. I found that the two screens will cross each other under Firefox, but not under Google Chrome. Under Firefox, when two tabs are opened, the images will affect each other. It seems that after drawing through the timer, the browsers share a webgl context.

After testing we found: 1. The versions of Firefox are all up to date. In this case, some computers will have images affecting each other, while others will not (computers with graphics cards of Intel HD Graphics 630 will display normally, while others will not). 2. On the computer where the page displays an error, on the same computer, we update the graphics card driver version of the device manager, and then refresh the page. The pages will no longer affect each other. But after closing all Firefox browsers and opening them again, the images interacted with each other again.

The first picture is our real usage scenario, and the second picture is the minimum reproduction example.

Does anyone know how to fix this issue?

Thank you.

I like to keep my sidebar open with a list of my bookmarks because I have a LOT of them. I have always kept it open and then today for some reason after a reboot of my machine, Firefox will NOT keep the sidebar open permanently. I can see the sidebar button on the address bar, and pressing this button will reopen the sidebar, but I don't want to have to reopen it all the time because it doesn't save my size settings. I have looked at the JSON file where this setting is supposedly stored and nothing looks wrong. I even deleted this file (after making a backup) and nothing changed.

How do I get my sidebar to stay open so when I start up a new window, it is already open and I don't need to use the button or the keybind?

I am trying to change my email preferences and the following is occuring: 1) from my account, I select Email Communications, which takes me to 2) https://basket.mozilla.org/fxa/?email=cswaim%40jcrl.net and that prompts me to sign in 3) after signing in, I am displayed https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/newsletter/recovery/ 4) I enter my email address and I am sent a link via email https://clicks.mozilla.org/f/a/8zrp86jZnVL2dfBjXU6Jvw~~/AAQRxQA~/***stuff deleted*** 5) this link takes em to step 2, and the loop continues.

I don't seem to be able to get all information to go to my primary email address, some goes to a secondary email, which is inactive.

I would like Firefox to save my usernames for sites, but not the passwords. However, Firefox insists that I supply a password before it will save the account details, and if I supply a dummy password, then it will not let me later edit the account and delete the password. I like to remember my own passwords rather than store them anywhere.

I have tried password managers and they are overbearingly controlling, particularly given that they don't store my passwords let alone my 2FA details, so I'd rather just use Firefox's less onerous, built-in system, if only it would allow me to save an account without a password. Surely saving a username without a password is a safe option, so why block it?
