Wrong positioning of tabs/title bar buttons in MacOS

Hello,

Since version 103 (around 10 months ago), I have had the positioning shown in the screenshot in the regular Firefox. However, I would like the button to resemble the appearance in the Nightly Firefox. Does anyone happen to know why the title bar buttons in my Firefox look like this? Could it be a setting that I have enabled? I compared it with the Nightly version, and the buttons appear normal (I also tested this 10 months ago with the Nightly version, which was version 105, and it looked fine at that time).

Thanks for the help.

Hello,

On some websites Firefox is displaying strange text/characters. I've tried refreshing and troubleshooting, I've uninstalled and reinstalled, and the problem was fixed for about 24 hours, and now it's back. I have confirmed my language is sent to English.

Has anyone experienced this? And if so, how did you fix it?

I don't want to use another browser, but at this point it looks like I'm going to have to. Everything displays properly on Chrome.

I started Firefox and apparently it was being updated. When I finally got into the browser, it was totally vanilla. All the old information, bookmarks, toolbar information, were missing. I am using Windows11 Home. If I go to Firefox on my phone, all seems to be the same as it always has been. What happened to my toolbars, etc?

Hey, hope you're well

I'd prefer opening new tabs to happen in the background, so I can stay on the original page.

So far, Firefox seems to open new links and will switch to them immediately, automatically.

I checked in settings, and found the setting in the attached image.

I found that whether this setting was checked or unchecked, the behavior remained the same.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

Firefox Stopped Openign External Links

Before the latest update, I was able to open links (eg zoommtg:) but that quit working. I originally thought it was a problem with Ubuntu, but I tried in Chromium and it seemed to work fine. In addition to not being able to open links, I can't click on the "Show Folder" in the downloads dialog. This leads me to believe Firefox is having trouble communicating with the desktop.

  • OS Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS
  • Firefox Version 114.0.1 (Snap)

Ideally, I'd like to find a log or some indicator as to why this is happening. It's quite annoying because I find myself doing a lot of copying and pasting of links and what not. Any help would be appreciated.

hello firefox heroes,

I am looking for a way to prevent disabling an addon.

The addon is secondary, but for the sake of completeness: it's about the web blocker LeechBlock.

It was intended as an alternative to the web blocker ColdTurkey, but unlike ColdTurkey, which does not work for Linux systems, there is no password protection to prevent disabling and/or uninstalling the addon. Thus, it is quite easy to get distracted even though you don't really want to.

does anyone know a solution?

Hello Firefox, am I alone in having problems with logging in to nsandi.com? I have tried using Firefox in Private and Normal modes but the result is either 'sorry an error has occurred' or the login process goes round in circles. I have to resort to Chrome, which logs me in normally. I am using the latest version of Firefox (as at 20/06/2023) and Windows 10 (last updated 14/06/2023) and verified using cmd sfc...

Just restarted PC and opened Firefox, but with my normal Firefox, another page popped up which was a Firefox guest page on the website:

moz-extension://42c45938-6520-42aa-9359-a19de1 12eaf2/js/common /indexhtmizcontentType=notify_shutdown_ti#entry=sync

The website was "Not Secure" so I just closed out of it, was wondering if this is a cause for worry or if it's just a minor issue. All help is appreciated, thanks.

Hi all,

I have been having issues with contributing to a certain forum. When I go to add a new line to a post, or upon deleting and retyping, the white space between the lines is eliminated.

This has a real impact on the legibility of my posts.

Please see the video I have provided for further information.

Many thanks,

Casey

I use outlook to merge my emails from several different providers. Due to a software update, I had to login and confirm the IMAP password of on particular email provider (web.de). Somehow this failed (both in outlook and directly at the web.de website via firefox), and I reset my password for this email. Firefox did not allow me to login directly into my mail on the web.de website, whereas I succeeded to do so in Safari. I updated the new password in outlook, all good. I turned off enhanced tracking protection, cleared all cookies and history, restarted the computer and still cannot login to web.de via firefox. Any ideas?
