Hi

I've gotten a couple of reports from Firefox users. Users report odd text formatting when typing 1st and 2nd on the body of an email when using Outlook web browser. See attached image.

I tested this on my production machine, and I'm also seeing the odd text formatting.

I've cleared my cache, uninstall/reinstall a fresh Firefox version, I've used a Private browser window, and I am still running into this issue.

I'm using a M1 MacBook Air. Currently on macOS Sonoma 14.6.1 - Firefox version 131.0.3. I have a user who has a M3 MacBook Air on Sonoma 14.5 - Firefox version 126.0.1

Whenever I open a new tab in Firefox, an unexpected image appears instead of my wallpaper or the default background. I've checked my settings but can't figure out what's causing this. Has anyone else experienced this issue, and how can I fix it? Any help would be appreciated!

There is a crash every time I open the browser. I tried the flatpack and system package and to no avail. Here are the crash reports: https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/bp-bf2784a8-d50b-4eb8-9b56-9b8080241025 https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/bp-842ca83e-d926-45ad-a5c0-9c96c0241025 https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/bp-691ec2d2-7215-44a5-b176-31b090241025 https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/bp-4a1d0d29-821c-4647-814c-d483e0241025 https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/bp-e9e42a94-1db3-497e-8c18-0ee0e0241025

Any help would be appreciated.

I prefer using the FireFox browser on YouTube, but several months ago, it began developing a problem. Videos halt and then the rotating circle appears and keeps turning and nothing happens. If I skip past it, it restarts and runs for a few minutes, but then stops again. The machine is W-10, FF ver. 115.6.0esr (64-bit) but it can also be configured to run W-7 and it does it there too. A number of longer, higher quality videos (8kEarth, 8kParadise) don't seem to have the problem and it only does it on YT. All the videos run correctly with Chrome. I've refreshed FF, but it hasn't helped. I also disabled hardware acceleration. Anyone else had a problem with this?

Firefox 131.0.3 (64-bit) on Windows Windows 10 Pro 22H2

Picking a link from the Firefox jump list opens a new tab for the link correctly. However, it always used to be that the pertinent window was then brought to the front. That no longer happens. (For about the last two years - I am only now looking for a solution.)

All other programs, including all my other browsers, do come to the front as expected.

Is the correct behavior to be configured somewhere in Firefox or Windows? All help welcome!

Good morning - as of 24th October I am no longer able to drag and drop images to my desk top.

My mac is up to date 15.0.1

Firefox is up to date 131.0.3

Does anyone have a solution please?

Thanks!

Hey! I did two updates this morning. One was removing my ex-wife as a computer admin, which meant that I'm now my Mac's primary admin. The second was downloading the Mac software update that addressed a security flaw.

As you can see in the image attached, I now no longer see my extensions in my toolbar. I've re-installed them and they appear for a second and then disappear. This includes uBlock origin and Bitwarden - neither which appear to be operating even though they appear in my Settings to be active. Any suggestions?

Today, I opened the container extension and it asked me if I wanted to sync my containers across devices.

I re-entered my credentials so that I could. While I did manage to get my synced containers, Firefox signed me out of my Mozilla account immediately after I did.

Naturally, I decided to sign back in. It kicked me out again. Rinse and repeat.

my camera on my laptop is not working on firefox. i have checked in settings and it is turned on, for that app. for some reason it will not give me permission on the website i am trying to use. even though i have selected it to allow.

The bookmarks menu gets stuck open when you drag a URL from another browser into a Firefox bookmarks folder. You must click on Firefox of the stuck Firefox menu to get it to close. Why is this?

Here is a video illustrating the issue...https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GPPlXK0YePcVMG7N2qlZIH4YcRHhgX4J/view?usp=drive_link

I am using multiple virtual desktops under Kubuntu. I am running Kubuntu 24.10 having just upgraded from Kubuntu 24.04. After the upgrade, when I click on email links in Thunderbird, a new tab is created in my Firefox window but the focus does not switch to the Firefox desktop and window as it has always done in the past. This is especially annoying since I run Thunderbird and Firefox in different virtual desktops. So, after clicking on a link, I then have to switch virtual desktops in order to see the link's webpage in Firefox.

I've done some testing and I suspect that this problem is specific to Firefox. That is, when I use Chrome instead of Firefox then the Thunderbird link works properly and changes the focus to the desktop and window with Chrome running as it should. I have tested this problem on my installation and on a fresh installation. In both cases, the focus does not switch to the desktop with Firefox when Firefox is set to the default browser. Likewise, in both cases, the focus switches properly to the desktop with Chrome when Chrome is set to the default browser.

My google searches indicated that, in the past, this type of issue has been related to xdg activation bugs or configuration issues under Wayland on Linux.

In other words, this looks like a Firefox bug in Kubuntu.

Does anybody know where I should seek support and file a bug report for this? With Mozilla or Kubuntu or Ubuntu?

Does anybody have any other ideas?

How do I fix this?

Thanks,

Gordon

Greetings,

I work in a closed environment and we use Firefox for browsing our internal network. This network does not have any physical connection to the internet.

I'm trying to disable the initial tabs that come up for a new user/profile.

The first tab is the welcome screen, the second tab is https://www.mozilla.org/privacy/firefox

I went to about:config I set "browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone" to "ignore" That disabled the welcome screen.

Put I cannot find a setting that prevents or disables the second tab for https://www.mozilla.org/privacy/firefox

Thank you for your help,
