Could not get email via the usual Firefox. Always have used Firefox to get it. What happened ???

Then something called Moxilla came along. What's that? Why do I have to use Moxilla? I want Firefox. How is it related to Moxilla? Why did something change without my permission?

Thanks, Deanna Rose

When I paste an URL in the address bar with Ctrl+V and then press Enter before releasing Ctrl, the page is opened in a new tab. How can I disable that? I want it in the same tab. (If I release Ctrl and then hold it again before pressing Enter, it opens in the same tab already.)

Sometimes, when I want to use the Take a Screenshot function (on my toolbar) to save a long section of a page, after selecting what I want and scrolling down to the Download button, the process positions the page's floating 'identification' bar across the the middle of the picture. Is there a way to set a keyboard shortcut to trigger the download command after making the selection, without the need to scroll down to see the button? This would greatly simplify the process. In some limited searching and testing, I haven't found anything that accomplishes this.

I have attached a screenshot of a page to serve as an example of how the bar is superimposed.

FWIW, this system is still running Windows 7, Firefox 115.22.0 esr.

Last night, Firefox spontaneously stopped recognizing input from my Logitech M650 L mouse's side buttons used to go back and forward through the browsing history of the current tab. I've tried refreshing firefox, checking the mouse software, trying a different profile, trying firefox in safe mode, checked the firefox config and the mouse button inputs were set to "true", tried clearing the cache, and even tested on a website that shows you your mouse inputs and the side buttons were not detected at all, while all other buttons were detected fine. The side buttons work fine in all other programs and browsers on my PC: Windows 10 64 bit.

There was a brief period where they started working again last night, but seemed to stop upon reboot my computer.

I've been noticing that on some websites, certain fonts are hard to read. For example, the letter "e" being too bold or "i" looking like an "l", and "c" sometimes looking like an "o". Those are just a couple of cases. I've attached an annotated screenshot to show this issue.

My eyes aren't so good any more, so this is fairly important. When I want to search, as soon as I start typing and even though the center box is highlighted, the text jumps to the upper box. How do I keep it in the center box? It's probably a setting, but I can't find it.

Thanks to any responders.

Я пытаюсь использовать сочетание клавиш ctrl+shift+c, что бы скопировать текст, но, вместо этого открывается devtools, я не могу использовать другое соччетание, пробовал отключить это в настройках devtools, но это не сработало, так же пытался выключить devtools, но не помогло

I don't know if it's the latest Firefox "update" ro v137.0.1(those accursed things!) which I've resisted for months, or the garbage update Macrosuck foisted on us today, but somebody has altered my settings. The font size on all were the same size as the fonts on the pages I go to, now they're miniscule. How can I change them so I can actually see them?

Thank you to any and all relevant solutions and/or suggestions.

I've been trying to use the "Accessibility" -> "verbalize screen reader" on Google Docs, but it won't let me use the verbal functions. I have tried to download reader extensions in hopes that it would read the Google Doc, but it's not working. I have restarted my computer, the Accessibility is on, and tried to contact Google to see if it's an issue on their end but most of the information is only applicable for Chrome. I also tried to use "verbalize screen reader" on Chrome, and it is also not working there. If anyone knows how to use the Accessibility with Firefox and not Chrome, please help me navigate this. I have tried several Firefox extensions and none of the Text-to-Speech are working with google docs. I don't know why there aren't any, but suggestions would be appreciated.

The hotkey for showing/hiding the sidebar is currently ^Z. Since the Y and Z keys are swapped on German keyboards, could this be changed to ^Y when the interface language is set to German? Or is there already a setting for this that I might have missed?

Firefox is my default browser and I use Yahoo Mail. In the past, while writing an email, I would copy text from MS Word file (ctrl+C) and paste it (ctrl+V) in Yahoo Mail. These commands do not work anymore. Need a solution.
