This is pretty shady Mozilla.

When disabling only one setting: "Allow Firefox to install and run studies" it wrecks this site whether logging is or continuing as guest:

https://appointment.questdiagnostics.com/schedule-appointment/as-personal-information

Even after logging in and everything running normal, disabling the studies run by Mozilla and a quick refresh breaks the functionality of the page. All cookies were accepted and the sharing of location was allowed. On a fresh, first run, wide open Firefox people. Literally, the only change that was made was unchecking that one box. In disbelief, i tested it over and over.

Why would disabling a telemetry setting, something that should be optional, cause this to happen? Seriously, what could possibly be the reason. I'd love to hear it.

This was the final nail in the coffin to me and this is since the 0.9x days.

Cannot compose/reply email in Outlook

When I try to compose a new email, or reply to one, the pane opens to compose the email, but immediately closes before I can enter anything, reverting back to the Inbox. A new, empty draft gets created. But there is no way I can create a new email. Problem does not occur on other browsers. If I open a "New Private Window" and sign in to Outlook, I can then create the email there, but after a while the same problem occurs in that window too. Tried clearing Firefox cache temp files and cookies, but that did not resolve the problem. Using web based Outlook, Windows 10. Firefox is up to date.

Any suggestions?

Issue with zstd compression decompression in Firefox

Hello Mozilla Support Team,

I am writing to report a problem with the Mozilla Firefox browser. After the latest update, the browser appears to no longer decompress content that is compressed using the zstd (Zstandard) algorithm.

Previously, I could view web pages or resources compressed with zstd without issue, but now they fail to display correctly (or give errors). I have tested this on multiple websites and different systems, which suggests the change is not specific to one site or machine.

Could you please clarify the following:

Has support for zstd‐compressed content been removed or disabled in the recent Firefox version?

If so, are there plans to restore this support in a future release?

Is there a workaround or configuration setting that allows enabling zstd decompression in the meantime?

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I appreciate your help in ensuring this functionality is restored or clarified.

Best regards, Oleh Boiko Windiws 10, FF 144.0.2

Dear Mozilla, your browser has a small error. I want to talk to someone on Facebook who I talk to often, Firefox allows it. For those I rarely talk to, when I put the cursor on the phone icon, it says that it is not supported. I think this is a bug. Therefore, I have to switch to another browser to talk to someone who rarely talks. Please fix it

Page not redirecting when putting in correct username and password

Hi,

I am trying to use the website Jpay to connect with a loved one in prison. When accessing jpay's website I am prompted to enter my username and password in order to access the account. I enter the correct information- select login and the page will attempt to load and redirect me to the next page, but unfortunately nothing happens. The page will flash and prompt me to enter the username and password again. I am able to login into my Jpay account using safari, edge, and chrome however those browsers are no longer compatible with the jpay server for video visits. To add- I have purposely input incorrect details and when the page redirects it advises that I have input the incorrect username and password. Lastly, I have tried using several devices that range from a laptop, two different iphone, an ipad and an android tablet, the issue remains the same firefox will not redirect beyond the login screen. I have contacted jpay directly and there is nothing they can do. Please provide any advice on how to fix this issue. It appears to be on the back end. I have attached two snips. One showing i entered my information and clicked login. The next shows my username and password has disappeared after the failed load/ redirect. Thanks!

Hello developers;

I have used Firefox for long time on both Mac and Windows.

Recently, I have been experiencing the phenomenon described above, i.e., when entering Japanese text into iCloud Memo on Firefox, it appears as a double character. I'm sorry but I haven't taken screen shot.

This is the same on both Mac and Windows. It does not depend on the Japanese input method (IME). Refresh and reinstallation did not resolve the issue. Finally, I reverted to the previous version and the phenomenon was resolved.

From the above, we assume that the problem is caused by some kind of recovery in the latest version.

Thank you in advance for your confirmation and response.
