I just discovered Firefox Send Tab. But apparently, Firefox Sync must be activated for it to work.
Is there a way to "control" Firefox Sync? Or separate Firefox Send Tab from it? All I want right now is the ability to share tabs with my other device.

Dark theme can be tested by reversing the foreground and background colors in the HTML.
For reference, here is the correct GDI rendering of this website:

In Firefox ESR 52.4.1 (32-bit), text renders correctly:
https://i.imgur.com/InrXmeI.png https://i.imgur.com/kn3bZra.png
which is the same as the GDI rendering of this website, except for some line spacing issues.
However, in Firefox 70.0b6 (32-bit), the rendering regressed and text no longer renders correctly:

Line spacing is correct, but don't let this distract you from how profoundly unsmooth the rendering is in the light theme version. The dark theme version is nearly identical though.

Hi, my MSN outlook.live.com email just shows a blank page. I noticed this on 8-16-19 I was opening a link that took me to a google service rating site. After I rated the business I then went back to my email and just a blank page shows. I did remove all cookies, recent history, but not all history. It did not help so I updated from v.47 to v56 and thought that might clear it up, but it did not help. I can use it on IE v11. Not sure if I can try something else or not, before doing a refresh, another update or uninstall and reinstall. I am 72 now so was looking for a easy fix, just don't remember stuff like I used to?

We have used the upload functionality of buefy where any files can be dragged for upload. This works fine in Chrome. However, I am having troubles in Firefox.
Workflow: In Firefox, when I click on the browse button/DragAndDropSpace, a window pops up titled, "File Upload" If I click a file and click "open" it works fine, but I can't drag any files out of the "file upload" window. However, if I open my file explorer window, I can drag and drop the files in drag and drop space, just fine from the File Explorer window, but when I try to drag from the popup window titled "File Upload", I get a ghost image with a circle and red slash.
Expected behavior Since it is working in Crome browser so it should also work on other browser.
First I had filed the issue with buefy team but as per buefy team, It is a issue of Firefox. Buefy Bug Link : https://github.com/buefy/buefy/issues/1729
I have uploaded the bug video on buefy bug please find the attachment "BuefyUploadBug.zip"
I have uploaded the snapshot of issue please find the FirefoxIssue.jpg
If you need more details please let me know.

I've checked & my keyboard works EXCEPT to type in File Name box. Microsoft can't figure it out & this doesn't happen if I use Edge, only Firefox & Chrome. Have uninstalled & reinstalled WIN 10 Update & tried and older Firefox, but it still happens. If I want to attach a file to an email or otherwise select a file I either must scroll to it or use the onscreen "touch" keyboard. They suggested I ask here.

Bing opens every time I open up Firefox. I hate Bing and have searched everywhere for a way to get rid of it. I finally found in about:config there is a line which says browser.newtab.url modified string http://www.bing.com etc etc I reckon this might be the culprit, but I daren't alter anything because I don't know what I am doing. I did try "Reset" but it didn't make any difference, Bing reappeared. Any help welcome. Many thanks.

I'm using a Macbook Pro. Firefox and Macbook Pro is up-to-date. When typing the = sign in a Quickbooks Online invoice (which I have done forever) it's closing the invoice and giving a 404 error OR it will ask if I want to save the invoice. I tested this in Quickbooks Online using Safari and it worked fine, so cleared my Firefox history, restarted in safe mode and refreshed Firefox. None of those worked to fix the issue. I tested all other keys and they are fine.
I'm not sure if this is bug I need to report or if this is something someone else has come across and knows what to do about it. Any advise would be appreciated.

Why is Firefox the only browser not rendering non-tagged images as sRGB

Microsoft Edge, Chrome, and Safari all assign non-tagged images as sRGB, which according to The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) is the expected behavior. Firefox is the only browser that ships by default with this behavior turned off. It has to be manually enabled via about:config. Why is this? Why not just by default be consistent with all the other major browsers. In Photoshop, the new quick-save to RGB doesn’t allow embedding. But by Firefox conforming to what the other browsers do, at least we can see images consistently across the web. Please make this happen. What an easy thing to address/fix just be toggling the default setting.

Why do name-specific bookmarks fail with Facebook on first access, recent change

After I start Firefox 69.0.3, clicking on a bookmark of the form https://facebook.com/firstname.lastname gives an error message "Your request could not be processed." My FB toolbar is displayed but not the remainder of the FB page. I have dozens of bookmarks that all behave the same way. If I click on my name on the FB toolbar, the entire FB page displays. From then on, all my FB bookmarks work until I close FF and restart it. In all cases, the correct FB page address shows. These bookmarks have been working for a very long time and this problem has occurred in the last week or two. The bookmark https://facebook.com (without a specific person's page name) displays a complete page and not just the toolbar even after FF startup.
Session restore no longer works in 69.0.2

Updated to latest FF. Now session restore no longer works. I have checked, the sessionstore-backups folder for changes. When launching FF the folder is created and recovery.jasonlz4 is created. As tabs are added a recovery.baklz4 is created. When FF is closed, the sessionstore-backups folder disappears and is gone. When FF starts again, the above repeats. So as such when it starts it sees no session restore so it just continues to the default homepage.
How do I get session restore to work properly again?

I was thinking whether editing and altering already cached earlier input strings could be possible. I know that the entire cache could just be deleted using "Clear Recent History". But that is not a well-planned option. Some input strings could have as well been simple typos or ill-formed strings. They could in fact be distractions or eyesores. So why not be allowed an option to edit the cached strings? I always do this for my .bash-history file to keep it compact and useful. So I figure there could be a file in firefox to do just that. Well, for a personal computer dedicated to a single user, this could be a good option.

Ubuntu 18.04, CUPS2.2.7, Firefox 69.0.2 I use a custom web application that (among other functions) allows the print of labels. The labels are configured to the size of the label printers (3 printers, two label sizes). When I print the labels to a pdf file (print dialogue, "Print to file"), output with correct orientation, size and content is produced. When I print the these labels from a pdf-viewer to the label printers, output is correct. However, when I print directly from Firefox to the label printers, the output is rotated by 90°. Labels from label printing software (glabels) are also printed correctly. On Windows, this is not an issue and printing works directly from Firefox. Apparently, the problem is caused by Firefox, but restricted to Linux (several computers). Any ideas on how to find the problem are appreciated. Many thanks in advance!

In Windows 10 Settings-Apps-Default Apps, Firefox isn't listed as an option for default email app. In my case, I don't have any email clients installed, so my only choices are Chrome and Brave (another Chromium-based browser). How is it that the Chromium browsers are given as an option for the default email app, but Firefox isn't?
In Firefox's settings, I have chosen Gmail as my default app for mailto: links.
