When going to mail.yahoo.com, I get this error message:

The page isn't redirecting properly An error occurred during a connection to guce.yahoo.com. • This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies.

and this is the URL that I am redirected to: https://guce.yahoo.com/consent?brandType=nonEu&gcrumb=bWAMXTs&done=https%3A%2F%2Fmail.yahoo.com%2F

It works OK with Chrome, I just do not like Chrome! I made changes to allow cookies and that made no difference.

The discord web app detects my microphone input, but it does not detect the output. I've tried troubleshooting my earphones and using the device speakers. I've also tried checking the windows sound system, the browser permissions as well as clearing cache. I've gone over this with the discord staff and they said that the firefox team would be able to handle the situation better, as the problem does not persist between different browsers.

Good Afternoon, the FOE Helper extension stopped working properly with its latest update 3.6.2.0, specifically the event assistants. I have rest Firefox and reinstalled the FOE helper extension, still broken. It was working fine until the last update. Any ideas on how to get it working completely again?

This is going to start out sounding like a Google problem, but please read the whole thing. I have a new Windows 11 Dell, and I normally run Firefox. When I wasn't able to attach a file to a gmail email I went to Google Account Help. It suggested that I delete cookies and cache, which I have now done several times. Now the problem is that I can't get to Gmail from Account Help. I have deleted everything that Firefox History will let me delete, and no matter how I try to get to it I cannot get to Gmail. It keeps me in Google Account Help.

Here's why I think I have a Firefox problem. In frustration I opened MS Edge. It let me get to Gmail, and it let me attach the file to my email. It seems to me that if I were having a Google problem, it wouldn't matter which browser I was in. As soon as it saw my email address it would put me in the same place. That's my reasoning anyway.

Please Help!!!

I just want to stop a piece of my own history from being shown on "Firefox Suggestion", which was made with a firefox browser on my previous device and is relatively private.(I know I can do this by modifying "Search Suggestions->Show search suggestions ahead of browsing history in address bar results", but I would like to preserve the function itself). That device is permanently unapproachable, and so is that browser. I tried "Clear recent history -> Everything", but it didn't work as expected and that is still shown. I think clear all my history(not only those made on this currently used device) may help, how can I do it?

The Bookmarks Gadget (under Add Gadgets) appears to have been hijacked. I have dozens of bookmarks and now every single one of them redirects me to https://12jav.net/. I tried clearing all browsing data, logging out/in, and reinstalling the gadget. It seems to have happened after installing the latest version of Firefox, and reverting to an earlier version did not help either. Can you please look into this? Thank you.

In Chromium you can go a page backward or forward by swiping one finger to the left or right. This works really well. I have been missing this feature in Firefox for years now. Without it navigation in the browser is tedious on Linux tablets or phones.

Is something similar ever going to be implemented?

My google calendar, gmail, and G docs either will not load or only load after several attempts, or are very slow. They work fine in Chrome. This morning I couldn't open a G doc at all in FF, but it opened in Chrome.

My FF is up to date. I recently installed security software from AVG that is more full featured than the version I've been using for years with no problem. Could there be some known incompatibility between AVG and FF?

I'd much appreciate any suggestions!

I can't get Amazon back as a search option Bing is one of the search options selected in search settings, doesn't appear.

If I install an older version will it be ok. Why do they keep installing new updates which cause issues with the one I am using. I installed Opera and will give it a try. Firefox keeps changing things that work.'bold text'

I have trouble reading small, thin, and faint text.

I already use about:preferences, userContent.css, and userChrome.css to set my preferred fonts and font sizes. I think I can also use them to set font-weight.

But I want body text to be good and readable, and I still want bold text and header text to stand out. So I don't want to set *everything* to font-weight 500. So is there a way to set a range from 500 to 900, or a minimum of 500 but leave bolder fonts unaffected, or set everything which wasn't already bold to 500, and anything that was to 700?

Lately when opening multiple tabs in a folder on E-Bay, often this error msg occurs on the later opening tabs (folder of 60 tabs)

E-Bay says try Chrome browser, but that browser does not import the folders needed.

Years ago doing this solved slowness problems: Control panel/Internet Options/General/Browsing History/Settings/set disk space to use to 1024.

The browsing history would be deleted before the computer would be turned off.

E-Bay says try Chrome browser, but that browser does not import the specific folders needed.

Edge used to not allow folders with tabs.

I have divided the folder of 132 tabs, where this problem started, into two folders of 72 and 60 tabs, still happens about every fifth time the folder would be opened.

Any fix from Mozilla?

I use the numerical keypad frequently and need to use "/" often, but that key shares the shortcut for "quick find" which I then have to exit and click back into whatever text box I was typing in before I can continue. The alternative is to continually move my hand back and forth to the other "/" shared with "?". Both are annoying and unnecessarily take extra time.

I would very much like to disable the keyboard shortcut attached to the "/" key on the numerical keypad.

Thank you!

I've got a set of core bookmark folders set up. When I'm in a window with all tabs open in that folder, how can I update the tabs without manually having to go to each one that is new? It would seem a horrible task to have to compare which tabs are already saved in the folder, to whichever new ones I've added! Thank you!

Before updating Firefox to 123.0.1 (64-bit) + MacOS Sonoma, I could use FIDO2 on OnlyKey and login to my proton mail. Now, however something has changed on Firefox that I get presented with two prompts to touch my usb key, but the key itself doesn't respond to the second prompt and login fails.

I first get this prompt as before. I select 'Authenticate' and would be presented with the second picture. Since my key is not expecting to be touched, nothing happens when I touch it and login fails with the message displayed in the last picture.
