CONTEXT Many societies, including most of the Spanish and Portuguese speaking world (~730 million people), use two part surnames. This means the full name in most official documents, including passports, take the format:

Name: <name> Surname: <first surname from father> <first surname from mother>

Here is an example of the famous (deceased) Spanish poet:

Name: Federico Surname: García Lorca

Note the two part surname. There is no hyphen nor should there be one. He has TWO surnames.

PROBLEM A recent update in Firefox introduced a single field for name under Settings > Privacy & Security > Saved Addresses which is used by Autofill to fill forms.

Our poet would enter "Federico García Lorca" under name. If he were then to purchase a plane ticket and rely on Firefox Autofill to fill in the details, Autofill -- in a very narrow anglophone view -- will interpret "García" as a middle name and suppress it.

As a result, the plane ticket will be issued to "Federico Lorca" who is not even the same person, and who may not even exist. Moreover, he may be denied boarding the plane or refused entry into the USA because the name on the ticket does not match any of his official documentation.

I have had to disable Autofill for this reason.

SOLUTION A proposed solution is to do like Edge does: Have separate Name and Surname fields the user can specify.

Thank you.

While editing a Wordpress blogpost in HTML, the cursor does not appear, either as blinking or otherwise. Resultantly, I cannot edit a post. The editing I intend cannot be done in visual settings.

Another person seems to have the same sort of problem. Here is the link: https://wordpress.com/forums/topic/cursor-not-working-when-im-creating-editing-a-post/

Apparently, his problem was specific to Firefox , as the problem disappeared as he switched to Chrome. My similar problem disappears as I switch to Microsoft Edge.

Firefox will not allow me to access my internet banking account. The recent update caused me many problems. Is there a seurity setting in Firefox that I should take a look at or correct? Thank you!

Why when you click on the extensions button (jigsaw puzzle icon) in the toolbar to open the extensions panel the “Personalize Your Firefox” screen appears ???

When you right click a gear icon in a particular extension, the drop down menu has no "pin to tool bar" option, it only shows "copy/select all/print..." options ???

Hi, I've been receiving the following rejection message as follows: jino.ru rejected your message to the following email addresses:

postmaster@pop3-server-spam.org The address you sent your message to wasn't found at the destination domain. It might be misspelled or it might not exist. Try to fix the problem by doing one or more of the following:

   Send the message again, but before you do, delete and retype the address. If your email program automatically suggests an address to use, don't select it.
   Clear the recipient AutoComplete cache in your email program by following the steps in this article: Status code 5.1.1. Then resend the message, but before you do, be sure to delete and retype the address.
   Contact the recipient by some other means (by phone, for example) to confirm you're using the right address. Ask them if they've set up an email forwarding rule that could be forwarding your message to an incorrect address.

The sender of the email gets those message. I get them also but I'm also getting the message that they send me. It's only doing it with my outlook account. Why is that? I checked it directly on the Outlook website and everything is OK. I can't understand why this is happening.

Hi, I am using Firefox browser on Windows 11, Dell machine with Cirruslogic sound driver There is sound intrruptions when a new music source has started while a music already playing on another tab. While a radio or youtube music stream playing on a tab (in background) and if other tab starts a new sound like youtube or video an any page when started the music background got interrupted (like a small pause operation). If I do the same with chrome or opera, the music goes on without promblem seamlesly. Also if a music stream continues, opening a new music stream on chrome do es not effects. So, the only proble ise with opening sound from different tabs interrups each other on only Firefox browser PS:I am using the Treestyle tab extension. I do not know there is a relation or not Regards Murat

I have written you all now three times. I cannot use Safeway.com to order my groceries and have had this problem since October of last year. I have to use another brower, which I detest to make my orders. All of my preferences are on the safeway.com page but when I search, let's just say "eggs" it tells me that my spelling must be wrong or there are no items that match my search. Please please help me fix this. I have called Safeway.com 4 times and they say it is a Firefox issue. Thank you.
