I have an intermittent problem with the back and forward buttons skipping pages. My home page is a blank page. From the home page I select the YouTube bookmark. I intend to right click on a video and select Open Link in New Window, but sometimes my touchpad doesn't see it as a right click and opens the video. When the video is done if I click on the back button, the browser takes me to the home page (blank) instead of the first YouTube page. If I then click on the forward button, YouTube loads a new page of videos to watch. There is no way to get back to the original first YouTube page which is annoying if there was something else I wanted to watch. I've had this happen with other sites as well. I originally thought this was a Firefox issue but now am wondering if my touchpad is interpreting the click on the back button as two clicks and causing it to go back two pages. Is this possible?

I put an anchor link in the html source , and when I click on it I want it to open file.txt with gedit. I can get c files to do it , but .txt files open in Firefox.

I'm trying to use multi-account containers to use twitter and other sites from accounts unique to the container.

For twitter, if I select a container, a new tab opens with the twitter login page in that container. If I try to login, another tab opens in that container, with the login page. So, I can never log in.

Is there a solution?

Just downloaded 113.02 Firefox. Frame around firefox windows and tabs loses Min/Max, "X" exit button and full screen buttons. Coloration of the frame also changes from solid to opaque and back without any input from me. Does seem to vary based on memory usage. High usage appears to cause these symptoms but can't be sure. Controls do not reappear. Double-clicking the frame makes them reappear only momentarily. Uses Windows 7 Pro OS.

As a professor at a large university in a college town, Google Scholar is a primary resource for me and thousands of others in this city. Doing Scholar searches on Firefox, I am often interrupted by the following Firefox message:

Our systems have detected unusual traffic from your computer network. This page checks to see if it's really you sending the requests, and not a robot. Why did this happen? IP address: 50.24.52.109 Time: 2023-05-28T15:12:13Z URL: https://scholar.google.com/scholar?cluster=11934070011569534288&hl=en&as_sdt=5,44&sciodt=0,44&as_ylo=2022&scioq=complex+adaptive+systems+%22concept+analysis%22

How can I stop that interruption from occurring? It does not occur on Chrome or Opera.

Thank you.

I am working on a new computer with Kubuntu and have FF installed via .deb.

On my previous computer, I could drag files from the downloads dropdown (eg download a file and then drag it into gmail as an attachment).

Now this is not possible. Instead, I need to go to the downloads folder in order to drag and drop a file. An extra step and rather annoying.

The problem is persists in Safe Mode.

Is there any way to get the old functionality back?

https://yummy.doctor/video-list/structuring-water-with-the-iteracare-frequency-wands-demonstration-with-amandha-vollmer-and-ashley-may

Please have a look at this link. Everyone on the team is having the same issue that when we try to play it we get this error: "The media could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed or because the format is not supported."

This link will work fine in all other browsers. Every other video on the site (over 200 of them) work fine in FireFox, this one will not. We would appreciate any assistance in this matter.

For years I have used Firefox and every update has been seemless. This one is terrible!!

Every time I click to open a new tab, it opens a new page Every time I try to change tabs from previous to the update, it will not change. I am stuck on that tab Every time a new page is created I cannot open it because it has a "block pop up windows" and this is a setting that I did not change. I have had to turn off all blocking just to be able to change my password, to be able to typoe here.

You have basically stopped my studies until this can be rectified and I doubt anyone will repond to this message

Firefox always plays sound through my speakers, even if I select another audio output. The only way I've found to get around this is to open sound settings and disable my speakers. Then Firefox will use the correct output device.

No other applications have this problem, and all my audio devices work fine, excluding Firefox. Any help would be appreciated!
