Firefox Community Forum

Asseeninthe subject line and here, the space key often does not result in a single space being displayed although sometimes -- like just now -- it is termporarily starting to work.

I am running FirefoxVersion 146.0.1 (64-bit)onWin11(andgetting erratic spaces and backspaces again.)

Interestingly, the main Enter key also has similar problems although the keypad Enter key seldom does.

TheDeletekeyhasneverhad this kind of problem so I haveoften used back-arrow and Delete instead of Backspace.

Tobefair,thisalsohappenswithNotepad++ and other programs.

I have no idea how to troubleshoot such an erratic/intermittent situation.

Firefox is diverting known safe sites stating they are dangerous and then redirects to http://147.45.69.3/ which in turns send you to other sites. It also happens in Chrome so they must use the same system. The sites are totally safe I use them all the time but lately get redirected and it is getting very annoying

Once a week or so, Firefox crashes unexpectedly. The popup indicates its alerting Microsoft of the crash, but apparently not notifying Mozilla.

Once such a crash occurs, I close Firefox. Reopening it results in a crash shortly after all tabs open and I click on something (usually 3 or 4 tabs are open). No matter how many times I let Firefox close and then I reopen it, the crash recurs. The only recovery is a complete reboot of my PC.

How can I get and submit crash reports to support in hopes of getting a resolution?

When I opened Firefox[^1] today I was greeted with a "Donate to Mozilla Foundation" page open, with the message:

"You power Firefox. Now donate to make good tech the default.

Mozilla Foundation — the non-profit behind Firefox — is building a future where technology serves people, not power.

Your donation to Mozilla Foundation keeps the internet open, private, and built for people. Donate today to make good on the promise of the internet."

Does this message mean that Donations to the Mozilla Foundation now fund Firefox development? As I understand it, previously donations were not allowed to be used by the Mozilla Corporation, which actually develops Firefox. I'd love to donate to fund Firefox development, as I feel it is a critically important open source project.

I see there is a new AI chatbot feature available on Firefox. In reading the article about the various AI providers, I did not find information about who owns each of the chatbots. That information would be helpful in deciding on which chatbot, if any, I might decide to use. Thanks.

I am logging in to my browser as normal, but am still getting the notification "You must log in to this network before you can access the Internet". This is cutting me off from regular internet access as if I was not logged in.

Can Firefox add an option on the UI chatbot tab for Copilot (MIcrosoft's AI assistant)? I use it all the time but it would be perfect if i could put it in the UI chatbot tab!

I just found out the hard way that trying to add troubleshooting information to a question can cause one to lose whatever was written as clicking "try these manual steps" opens in the same tab and erases everything one has written.

"Troubleshooting Information (optional): We can't automatically get your browser's troubleshooting data, please try these manual steps."

Please add a note that clicking on "try these manual steps" will cause you to lose everything you have typed in previously - so right click and click "Open link in new tab"

(using FF 142.0.1 on a Windows 11 laptop)

Most other forums don't impose this type of limited categorization. What is the best way to proceed here when you topic here doesn't have an obvious fit? This is not uncommon. Should I be concerned that my question won't get to the right eyes/assistance needed?

Some venues offer the ability to add tags. Why not give us the ability to add "tags" if you believe some sort of pre-designation is necessary? Does that qualify for my choosing this topic?

How about "other"?
