Firefox Community Forum

Hi,

I have donated to Mozilla Foundation in the past and will gladly do so again once a vexing issue has been resolved. I am using the latest Firefox version for Mac.

While using the updated Mozilla Firefox recently I find that allthewordsItypesticktogetherlikethis when I try to search for something. It can also happen when I type emails using Firefox. So I often have to change back to Safari.

Also, I notice that with the updated Firefox version, a mysterious blue square appears around the text I am working on.

Do you have any suggestions or instructions as to how to stop the annoyingjoingingtogether of words from happening? Please help!

Thankyou!

After a recent update to Firefox 133.0.3 (on Ubuntu GNU/Linux 22.04), Firefox is having difficulty connecting to websites and exhibiting some other odd behavior:

- After initially starting Firefox, it will load websites (e.g., previously open tabs) for up to 30 seconds. After that, it will not load any website in a new tab, showing the loading animation for several seconds before stopping all activity and just displaying an hourglass icon in the tab. These sites can be connected to in other web browsers. - After closing Firefox, its process is still running; I have to manually find its pid and kill it. - If I start Firefox from the terminal, I see these messages when it starts having trouble loading websites:

libva info: VA-API version 1.20.0 libva info: Trying to open /snap/firefox/5437/gnome-platform/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/iHD_drv_video.so libva info: Found init function __vaDriverInit_1_20 libva info: va_openDriver() returns 0

i AM RECEIVING EMAILS ALL DAY LONG FROM SECUREDJOINTNETWORK TELLING MY SYSTEM IS INFECTED.. MY SECURITY PREVENTS THAT i WANT THESE NOTICES STOPPED, BUT DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO IT.

I have an account with the site, https://www.thecalendarcreator.com . It is a software that creates calendars for the present and future years. I have turned off Enhanced Tracking for the site (that worked for another site of theirs that I joined). Some functions work, many do not work correctly, if at all.

My computer is a Mac, v 10.13.6, so it's getting old. I have contacted thecalendarcreator.com support, and they can't find anything wrong on their end. They have suggested that perhaps it's some sort of anti-virus setting on my end. I've been looking at my Settings, but I'm no techie, so I don't know what to do. I would greatly appreciate your help, so I can hopefully get this site to work.

Thank you very much, Lea Lashaway

Hi,

The scouting association have updated their members website to membership.scouts.org.uk. This works, but from there is a link to my learning.scouts.co.uk. Sometimes this works but often I get "bad request, error 400". I've had to move to Edge when using this website. I didn't want to! I've used Firefox for years

Working on setting up a new PC build. I've had to use some PC support website chats and many of them have just not acted right? For example, one would allow me to start a chat but then sent me directly to closing the chat like we were finished. The others would lock up my Firefox many times. Anything come to mind as to why this is happening? Windows 11 Pro v24H2 and latest Firefox version.
