Firefox displays garbled characters, but other browsers do not display garbled characters on the same website.I'm sure it's not a website issue, because more than one website is experiencing garbled text problems. We tried solutions found online, but none of them worked, including completely uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox.

when attempting to login to 53.com credentials are entered, login pressed, login flashes but no login.... as if there is a pop up or something that should occur and doesn't. On edge it works fine, press login and a clock like symbol overlays the login button and then you are in....

v148, Win 10

The site froze while playing a video. It happened multiple times. Is anyone else reporting this kind of behavior on Instagram. I closed the tab, but cpu stress-like side effects remained for a while.

Here's the error page I get from O'reilley Auto Parts when searching. (I don't get this error when on O'relley com, but ONLY when searching for a part and ONLY with Firefox on my desktop. This started just a few months ago. All ad blocks and U Block Origin are disabled):

Hello,

I am experiencing an issue with Firefox where some websites display a message saying that the internet connection cannot be established and that I am offline, even though I am connected to the internet.

My internet connection is working normally. Other websites load without problems, and the same websites also work correctly in other browsers such as Google Chrome.

However, in Firefox certain sites do not load. For example, YouTube and YouTube Music show an error message indicating that I am offline. I have also noticed this issue on a few other websites.

Because the same pages work normally in other browsers, it seems to be related specifically to Firefox.

Could you please help me understand what might be causing this issue or how I can fix it?

Thank you.

I use Firefox on a Mac to access Brightspace for my classes. I also use Grammarly. When copying text from the Grammarly widgets and pasting it into the Brightspace HTML editor, the text is stripped of hard returns, causing paragraphs to collapse without any breaks between them.

I have tried pasting as unformatted text, and the issue persists. This issue does not occur in Chrome, so I suspect it is due to how Firefox handles clipboard data. I have not found a workaround or resolution for this.

The Facebook page on Firefox has the "fly-outs' overlapping the base page instead of the 'fly-out" appearing in a separate tab. When I use Chrome, which I do not want to, the "Fly-out" pops up correctly. I do not want to switch to Chrome ... How can this be fixed? Thank you!

I was able to use Firefox for Animoto then for some unknown reason my project disappeared. I can access on Safari. When I try to open Animoto.com in Firefox a page comes up with My Projects page plus Animoto's Create a video and that is all that shows, the page is inactive. Same when I try to log in to my account. My computer is MacBook Pro Tahoe 26.3. I would be very grateful for a solution.

Hi there,

I'm having a strange issue with a website I use for crypto trading. On Firefox the page layout looks broken and some sections overlap or don't load correctly.

The site is paribu.com https://www.paribu.com . When I open the same page in Chrome everything looks normal and the layout loads properly.

I tried refreshing and disabling a few extensions but the issue still happens in Firefox. Has anyone experienced something similar or knows what might cause this?

Thanks.

WebRTC DataChannel worked perfectly in Firefox 147 and earlier, but after upgrading to Firefox 148, send() throws InvalidStateError immediately after onopen fires. Same code works in Chrome and previous Firefox versions.

const dataChannel = pc.createDataChannel('kvsDataChannel', {

   ordered: true,
   maxPacketLifeTime: 3000

});

dataChannel.onopen = () => {

   console.log('open, state:', dataChannel.readyState); // Shows "open"
   try {
       dataChannel.send('hello'); // Throws InvalidStateError
   } catch (e) {
       console.error('Failed:', e.name, e.message);
   }

};

Error: InvalidStateError: An attempt was made to use an object that is not, or is no longer, usable

Environment: Firefox 148.0: Fails OS: Windows 11 Firefox 147 and earlier: Works

Question: What changed in Firefox 148 that broke DataChannel send()? Any workaround while this gets fixed?

I had a mainstream company website start some of this months ago and now I seem to be getting more and more similar connection problems for other sites. My pc works just fine on nearly every other site so I just don't see it as my pc. I asked my ip and although I question whether they will help much but they did say nothing from their side. Yes I am up to date on ffox and OS. Clearing cookies does nothing. Some sites just say access denied, some will just never load or have some bs 'oops' or 'something went wrong' message. Chrome seems to mostly work but it may be goofy getting the sites working. These all used to work fine before. It does have the same or similar problem using other pc's on the same network. I can find nothing in my modem/router that is blocking anything. How do I find out what is wrong?

When accessing Google Docs, I can right-click and successfully Cut and Copy from the pop-up menu, but when I attempt to right-click paste, Docs pops up the message shown in the attached image. Ctrl-V works, but clearly Google Docs understands what is being requested and simply will not perform the operation, which is very annoying. Is there any way to get Google Docs to perform the mouse-based paste?

Here are all the current clipboard settings:

browser.contentanalysis.interception_point.clipboard.enabled true browser.contentanalysis.interception_point.clipboard.plain_text_only true browser.tabs.searchclipboardfor.middleclick true browser.urlbar.clipboard.featureGate false browser.urlbar.suggest.clipboard true clipboard.autocopy true clipboard.copyPrivateDataToClipboardCloudOrHistory false devtools.screenshot.clipboard.enabled false dom.event.clipboardevents.enabled true dom.events.testing.asyncClipboard false widget.clipboard.use-cached-data.enabled false widget.gtk.clipboard_timeout_ms 1000

Ok, This latest version of Firefox is really Bad. It hangs on a lot of my online login accounts. Important things like my Amazon Chase Banking App. My Subscription access to HeyGen logs in for example but it won't work with features like creating your avatar. There is a LOT wrong with the current build.

Hello, I've been getting this press and hold authentication the last several months I press and hold then release when the check mark shows, and it still won't let me into the webpages. Happens sporadically, real estate, walmart, and some others. Attached is a sample.

Can you tell me how I can stop it?

Thanks

Hi,

Since installing the latest FF update (148) a few days ago, I have trouble replying to any topic on this site: https://www.4x4community.co.za/forum/. Prior to this update, there was no problem in replying or posting to the forum.

I do not have this problem on any of the other forums of which I am a member, only this one. I can log in and read posts with no problem, but I cannot reply to any post. I am also unable to start a new post on this particular forum (of which I am a Moderator). There is no flashing cursor when I wish to post, and I also cannot 'copy & paste' a reply either.

I have disabled Malware Bytes, Dark Reader and AdBlock plug-ins, this makes no difference.

If, however, I run FF in the "Troubleshoot" mode, I am able to to post replies to this forum. I have reinstalled FF v148 twice, the issue remains.

Testing the same forum with Opera browser I can access and reply to the forum above, even though with Opera I use the same plug-ins mentioned above turned on. It appears to thus be a FF permissions issue. I have cleared my Cookies and cache but this did not help.

Do you have any other suggestions? I am a FF user from day 1 all those years ago and have no desire to change to another browser.

Regards, Eric
