Since FF v133.0 when maximized causes Windows taskbar to not appear when moving the mouse to the bottom of the screen

After updating to v 133.0, when maximizing Firefox (not F11 fullscreen), a taskbar that is set to "auto-hide" will no longer unhide when mousing to the bottom of the screen. This did not occur with the previous version (132.0.2).

This behavior is also unaffected by the "devtools.toolbox.alwaysOnTop" setting in about:config as i've tried switching from the default "true" to "false".

Update: Still persists in 136.0.2

I can no longer access my local TrueNAS server nor router via Firefox. My current version is 133.0.3. Safari has no trouble. Firefox gives no warning, no Advanced button, no option to bypass security. All I get is: "Unable to connect An error occurred during a connection to 192.168.0.102.

   The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
   If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer’s network connection.
   If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the web."

I have tried so many settings, troubleshootings, workarounds, I can't begin to list them. It happens in troubleshooting mode. I have created SSL certificates on the server many different ways to no avail. I'm thinking I will have to abandon Firefox with it's obscure, no-way-through security. But I wanted to ask for help first. Please help.

As title. Installed the latest update as soon as i came out. I get the "Welcome to Firefox" tab and the 2nd tab "Firefox Privacy Notice" opened.

The 1st "Welcome" tab, has the box and buttons asking me to import old setting and all that jazz. I have down in quiet a few times and nothing is taken root. I have went through the process of installing all my old addons and extensions, I am not sure how many times, as I use them every time I open my browser to watch Twitch or Youtube, Beyond 20, and what have you. And of course it keeps resetting my toolbar and the bookmarks and settings on my homepage.

I thought at first, it might be buggy and after a day or two it would get fixed an updated. But alas, nothing thus far and this is forcing me to use other craptastic browsers I rather not even have installed on my system.

I have refreshed Firefox a time or two, I uninstalled and reinstalled, but I am afraid to completely wipe it out, as I do not want to lose my bookmarks, passwords, and other saved information, that I probably should not have saved but I do because my memory is "teh suck".

I would appreciate any insight on how tor resolve this issue.

Thanks!

Not sure I selected the proper category, but I've been coding websites since for longer than I like to admit.. (About 1998 memory serves me right..).. Anyhow, at this point I maintain 3 websites.. Here's one of them: https://www.pbl-sn3.com As you will see there are many pages involved.. I used to able to right click on a photo or graphic and Firefox would tell me what it was, its filename, and even it's size.. But no more.. This was a really handy feature that kept me a Firefox user ever since I discovered Firefox..

Now, instead of right clicking on it (so I can find it easily on my PC using a great little program called "Everything" (see https://www.voidtools.com/ which is amazing in its own right..), I'm stuck viewing the Page Source, finding the file in all the jumble of code, etc. etc. etc... (Yeah, I can right click on the image and open it in a new tab, but it tells me nothing about its SIZE either.. Dang!

So am I the only guy that's ever complained about this? (I recently downloaded Google Chrome which appears to be a less-than-perfect knockoff of Firefox and also lacks this "feature".. But my bank likes it whereas they would no longer allow me to do online banking with Firefox.. A pesky but unrelated issue here, I know..)

Anyhow, if there's a quick fix for my problem, I sure would appreciate a how-to implement it! Thanks for "listening"! - Ol' Bill in California

I have payment methods saved. On payment sites, I click on the CC# input box, and I am given the option to use one of my saved payments. I mouse-over payment choice, and it populates the input boxes with the correct information, however once I actually click the payment method, the payment method and all the input boxes are cleared of all contents. I am therefore forced to enter payment information each and every time I want to use it. The Fill Payment method isn't working.

I have reentered and verified the saved payment method several times.

Yesterday my audio on Firefox worked, today it doesn't. I tried all the regular trouble shooting solutions. - My system volume is not 0 - My tabs aren't muted - My headphones are turned on and working fine (audio works everywhere but Firefox) - I uninstalled and reinstalled my Firefox - I uninstalled and reinstalled my headphone audio drivers - Audio also does not work in a private browser, so I know the issue it's related to extensions, cookies, etc. - I had Windows 11 do a quick diagnostic, so the issue isn't Windows 11 related

Usually when this issue occurs, it's as simple as switching from "default" to a specific speaker in volume mixer, but Firefox is not appearing in volume mixer like it did in the past, as shown in the screenshot below.

I don't know what else to do at this point. In previous documentation here, the solution for some people was to wait and it eventually fixed itself, but I'd rather not have audio for weeks to months on end, so has anyone found another solution by chance?

Suddenly Firefox is downloading my downloads to google drive. Why? I want them in my download directory, but changing the options in Settings/General/Download makes no difference. It is set to ask where a file should go, but does not. It is set to ask whether to open or save a file and it does not!

How can I get google drive out of this and save them to my desktop again?

First of all I'm doing my testing in:

AMD Ryzen 7 7730u Windows 11 24H2 Firefox 133.0.3 Haylou GT1 Pro Bluetooth earbuds

I'm using jellyfin on web. And I listen to music on it, the problem I'm facing is... The moment I disconnect and reconnect my earbuds, the audio stops, the tab says "PLAYING" but no audio is played, I can press pause and play an infinite number of times but does not work UNTIL I reload the tab, then the audio comes back. Wouldn't be a big deal except for the fact everytime I have to reload, jellyfin does not save the current playlist so I have to create it again.

I tested this on the latest version of Microsoft Edge and it works with no problem there, I disconnect earbuds, audio stops, reconnect them and audio resumes, without even having to press play. The problem is something with firefox and the way it selects audio devices I guess?

I send a screenshot of firefox with the tab "PLAYING" but not actually doing it, and I send a logging file that I created using about:logging and the preset "Media playback", starting when I play media, disconnect bluetooth device, reconnect and can't hear anything

Logging file: https://pastebin.com/8CXn7bkv

If you need more info, please tell me. Greetings!

On some websites, namely GMX, the UK Guardian newspaper, Etsy and PatientAccess (there may be others), I cannot sign in using my login details. If I switch to Edge, using the same details, with the same laptop, my login works immediately. This also happens with a second laptop. I have tried clearing cache and cookies, but to no avail. Is there any setting I can change to allow me to sign in or do you have to fix your browser.

The version of Firefox is 133.0. Since installation, I have not changed any Firefox settings.

Best regards

I often receive a 403 error when using Firefox Every time, before this happens, I get the unsafe website warning and then the 403 error when I continue anyway


I am using the latest version at the time of writing These errors only occur on my desktop PC I have tried to replicate this issue on both my phone (Android) and another laptop(Windows 11) but all the websites work normally on there.

I have tried the following, none of which have any effect:

  • Clearing cookies
  • using Troubleshoot mode
  • Restarting
  • Changing Useragent
  • Using "Forget about this site"

The following do fix the issue

  • Using a VPN
  • Using Google Chrome
  • Running Firefox in another profile

Going through the privacy and security tab and reseting all the settings sometimes works but only temporarily

The following are a few websites where the issue occurs

YouTube only on Firefox has terrible stutter/frame pacing issues, most prevalent when watching 4k/60 content. "Stats for nerds" shows a healthy buffer and minimal dropped frames. This issue is not present when watching local videos or on Microsoft Edge. The issue can be alleviated by watching in 1080p60 but stutter/judder is still present. The issue is not resolved no matter what power or performance options I choose in my laptop's settings. Any help is super appreciated, as I really don't want to open Edge every time I need to use YouTube. Thanks!

Same behavior on two computers. Log on to Costco via Microsoft Edge works perfectly (on 2 computers before any trouble shooting ).
