Updated to OS Sequoia. When performing search in Address Bar in Firefox before update (previous OS editions), pressing "Control, Return" automatically added the .com to the address and went directly to the site requested. Since updating to OS Sequoia, performing the same task, it will still take the user directly to the .com address, but now shows the following illustrated in the attached file. This does not occur when using Safari or Opera. Did the OS Sequoia update break something?

To optimize performance and ensure cross-browser compatibility in complex web applications, several best practices can be implemented:

   Use Responsive Design: Employ responsive web design techniques to ensure that your application functions well on various screen sizes and devices. This approach enhances user experience across different platforms.

   Minimize HTTP Requests: Reduce the number of HTTP requests by combining files (like CSS and JavaScript) and using image sprites. This can significantly improve loading times.

   Leverage Browser Caching: Implement caching strategies to store frequently accessed resources, which can speed up load times for returning users.

   Test Across Multiple Browsers: Regularly test your application on various browsers (like Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge) to identify and fix compatibility issues early in the development process.

   Optimize Images and Assets: Use appropriate image formats and compression techniques to reduce file sizes without compromising quality, which can enhance loading speed.

   Utilize Best Application Development Services: Partner with experts who provide the best application development services to incorporate performance monitoring and optimization tools into your development workflow.

By following these practices, developers can create robust applications that not only perform well but also deliver a consistent experience across different browsers. Engaging with the community to share insights and experiences can further enhance our collective understanding of effective application development strategies.

Although listed as one of the options for default language, the current version of Firefox, which is my default browser, does not accept Brazilian Portuguese as the default language. It only accepts the Portuguese version, from Portugal which, to me, who speak Brazilian Portuguese, with all due respect, is a pain in the butt. I have tried, dozens of times, to delete the Portuguese version and set the Brazilian version as the default language. It works until I shut down the computer. The next time I turn on the computer, to my eternal dismay, Firefox cancels my previous language setting and reverts itself to the damn Portuguese version, which I dislike to the extreme.So I am, hereby, taking the issue to you with high hopes that this abdomally be straightened out once and forever. Many heartfelt thanks and wishing you sucess. Damião

Hi there,

I'm experiencing an issue where my website, "https://oceanofpdf.co.uk/", is not reloading properly in Firefox. When I try to refresh the page, it either hangs or doesn't display the updated content. This problem seems specific to Firefox, as the website works fine on other browsers like Chrome and Edge.

I've cleared my cache, tried private browsing mode, and even disabled all add-ons, but the problem persists. Could anyone help me figure out what might be causing this issue and how to resolve it? Any insights or troubleshooting steps would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

I cannot click links from google search on Firefox (latest version - Windows 11) if they are an advertisement. Even an ad from Amazon from my search results. Example: I did a google search for scrapbook paper from a specific company. Google gives me a page of search results. In the top of the page are adverts from Amazon etc. One of them was one I clicked on for amazon. See screenshot 1. When I clicked on the one circled in red I got the second screenshot as a result. So then I clicked the exclamation mark next to http: on screenshot 2 which gave me this info in screenshot 3. I went back to the google search page and cannot open a one of those ads across the top. My husband has the same issue on his galaxy S7 tab and he hates not being able to compare prices by clicking those ads. I have on my desktop, as well as his tablet the browser privacy set to Standard. So what is causing this? I used to love firefox but these latest 3 or 4 updates have left it a hot mess. How do I fix this? It is not like this with other browsers. I have no issues with then at all. I have the same tablet as him, but it has not updated to the latest update and I am able to click those same links from it. I just ran the same search from my galaxy mobile using firefox 119.0.1 It works fine on the mobile version I am running (I know but this is why I won't update it!). Please tell me, help me figure out what is going on with this version of Firefox (version 132.0). Is it FF and google not playing well together or just a FF issue because as much as I like FF I am about to dump it for a browser that works. Just for GP, I only have Last Pass extension active. I have AdBlocker Ultimate but it is currently disabled as I thought it was the culprit and have not re-enabled it just yet. All those extensions listed in troubleshooting information I assume is things within the browser itself?? As I said I only have one extension active and only 2 installed. Please advise. Thank you.

Hello I recently added a Uniswap browser extension to my desktop from your extensions tab. It is a bad program and it has stolen my seed phrase and subsequently all of the crypto from my metamask wallet. How is this allowed to happen?

Granted, yes, "human error". But even so, I cannot even imagine what kind of dexterity I would have needed to accidentally change my language settings from English to I'm not sure which language, I thought Thai at first but no, who knows, maybe Cambodian?

Starting last night, every time I try to open a page/website in Firefox the page times out and an hourglass symbol and the words "New Tab" appear in the tab. In addition, clicking on one of my bookmarks doesn't work either and nothing happens in that case. Any ideas?

There was a 1-3 second power failure today that crashed my desktop computer but the UPS maintained power to the fiber modem and mesh router, so my internet connection to the house was maintained. I restarted the desktop and launched Firefox. It proceeded to open all the tabs which had been open which is good. BUT it was very troubling that my log-in to my Investment Brokerage account was maintained and it did not request a Log-in Account Name and Password. A 2nd web account also maintained its log-in; so this is not specific to my brokerage. I have Firefox set up to NEVER save passwords; I use a separate Password Manager set up NOT to autofill account names and passwords.

Was this because the the UPS maintained the internet connection (for the 1-2 minute restart) while Firefox crashed and did not EXIT? Is there any setting I can make to prevent this from happening?

This has been going on for about a week now. I use the google chat/messenger portion thats built into the Gmail website.

I can paste pics, drag and drop, etc, it all seems fine. I can see the thumbnail versions in the chat. People can send me as well. The problem is once I click any, it normally puts a small darkening filter over the back ground and then does a fullscreen view of the image. in this case it just loads forever.

If I right click and try to open in a new tab I get an odd Error 403 message, Your client does not have permission to get URL /chat_attachment/ and then a long string of characters.

Ive tried the usual, updated, rebooted, etc. Even in FFox safe mode to rule out extensions. Still not working.

FFox 131.0, Windows 11 23H2.

I have tried to log into my google accounts on the browser, but everytime I press the sign in button on the google homepage, it takes me to google's "clear cache" website. However, signing in works normally on a private window. I have tried clearing my cache multiple times and it keeps taking me back to the cache page.

Over the past two years it seems, both Firefox and Thunderbird constantly show "NOT RESPONDING" plus "FORCE QUIT or WAIT" while using the browser and the email. There never seems to be any reason for these messages coming up. In some cases the computer automatically switches from Firefox to Thunderbird while in the middle of performing operations on webpages (not always the same pages). Using Ubuntu 24.04 having updated from 22.04.

There seems to always be issues with Firefox and ebay.co.uk again.

Last time this occurred, Firefox simply wouldn't browse products on ebay, failing to display. That seemed to have been picked up some time ago. I just moved over to Chrome until it was fixed.

Now we have problems again. This time, ebay recognises that I'm signed in, but when I do anything like try to add a product to my Watch List, I'm told to re-enter my password (or PassKey) but whatever I choose password or my PassKey, Firefox simply cycled back to the password screen.

I've attached a screenshot to show the screen I'm talking about. See attached.

When I move over to Chrome and follow the same process, everything works perfectly. Definitely a Firefox specific issue. As I have the same addons configured on both browsers, including my Keeper Password Manager.

This is a new issue since the last upgrade as I recall. The only change being the Firefox upgrade.

The current version is the latest for Mac - 131.0.3 (64 bit) on Monterey 12.7.6

Hi there!

Is there a way to define the view in which pdf files are opened by default?

When I open a pdf file it opens in "Automatic Zoom." Is it possible to set pdf's to open in "page width" or a different zoom setting?

Kind regards

Dear Firefox Team,

I would like to report a new issue I am experiencing and am unsure whether it originates from Firefox or LinkedIn. Specifically, the upper ribbon on LinkedIn is no longer visible when using Firefox (see arrows in the attached images), whereas it displays correctly on Chrome. I have attached two images: one from Chrome and the other from Firefox for comparison.

Could this issue be addressed from your side?

Thank you for your assistance.

Kind regards, Rodolphe
