The bug exists since Firefox version 131.0 circa, when some things related to DPI had been changed, which I was able to guess because, without touching anything, the size/zoom of the content of the websites were slightly different (bigger). Experiencing this in both Windows and Xfce.

Steps to reproduce:

  • Have a custom DPI settings in your operating system.
  • Open a new Firefox window.
  • Note how the Firefox window height is shorter, so yo can see about 20 pixels of your desktop background. Manually resizing the window and restarting the browser has no effect: the correct height is not remembered.

I've reported this one year ago in the tracker, but no one has yet done anything about it: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1925284

Am I the only person in the world using Firefox with a custom DPI setting in the OS? I find this hard to believe. Yet I'm experiencing this bug since one years ago. I can't stand using a different browser, but having to resize the window every time is so annoying...

Mozilla Firefox began to crash all the time; crashes happen almost every ten minutes, and it happens with every site. It still lasts about for several weeks. I tried to reinstall Firefox; I updated my drivers for my computer; I cleared cash and history in the settings; I tried to delete some files from Firefox's folder. All these things did not help. The crashes may happen with any site, and it can happen any time. I have no problem with memory shortage. My system consists of Ryzen 7 5800x, Radeon RX 7800 XT and G.Skill Flare X (for AMD) DDR4 2x16Gb.

Since the update to 142, on pretty much every site it keeps jumping back to the top of the page. Happens on a lot of sites. For some reason, if I select some text at the top of the page it seems to stop this. A lot of people may not have discovered this. Mozilla just needs to fix it. I am using Ubuntu 24.04. Been using Firefox for many years. Never seen this before.

I have the latest version of FF. My settings are: History>Clear history when FF closes>Saved form info>unticked. Autofill>Save and fill addresses>ticked. In Saved addresses I have my email address saved. But when I try to login to a site, it doesn't autofill my email unless I save my email and password in the password manager. It's not just one site, it that way across all sites. Any help appreciated.

In the last 4 or 5 days, I have been besieged by pop-ups from a scam website (I imagine) called giuyt.co.nz asking me to renew my norton subscription or telling me a virus has been found or a trojan detected. None of this is true. I have run scans on my system and there are no viruses and no malware. I have been into programs and deleted one or two programs i dont use, I have cleared my cache I have been into notifications and cleared that. Nothing I can do stops this avalanche of pop-ups (about 1 every 2 minutes). Can anyone help me please?

There are three issues with YouTube: 1. Slow website performance - for example, clicking on a video to pause/start it takes a few seconds to complete. Writing comments - after pressing a key, a second passes before the letter appears. Refreshing the page is also delayed. 2. Very often, the video starts at the lowest resolution, despite being connected to a 1Gb fiber optic cable. 3. Extremely high memory usage compared to Chrome.

After your most recent update my bookmarks disappeared and I cannot make any new bookmarks. Your updates are always intrusive and disruptive given that you shut down my computer while I am working, but until now you have not damaged anything. If I cannot rely upon you I will need to look for another search engine that is more reliable.

I am a Dropbox user. I have until recently been almost strictly a Google Chrome user. The PDF seamless behavior I have been seeing in Chrome is like this: 1. If I click on a search engine result for a PDF, I see the PDF opened in the browser. 2. If I click on Download at Dropbox, the PDF is downloaded to my PC.

On installing Firefox, the behavior I saw was like this: Whether I clicked on a search engine result or Download at Dropbox, I saw the PDF opened in my browser.

When I changed the Action for Portable Document Format (PDF) (application/pdf) and Portable Document Format (PDF) (application/binary)to "Save File", the PDF downloaded to my PC. But so did search engine links.

I seem to have fixed the issue by making my settings like this: 1. Action for Portable Document Format (PDF) (application/binary) to "Save File" 2. Action for Portable Document Format (PDF) (application/pdf) to "Open in Firefox"

Fingers crossed. ??? I was wondering why it wasn't set up this way on installation.
