Dear Firefox Support Team,
I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention an issue I have encountered with CSS styling on Mozilla Firefox.
I have implemented the following CSS properties on my website to achieve a zoom effect: body {
zoom: 70%;
} but it is not supported by Firefox.
I tried this approach: body{
transform: scale(0.7); transform-origin: 0 0;
}
While this approach is supported by Firefox, I am experiencing an unexpected behavior. Instead of a smooth zoom effect, the entire website is zoomed out, and the content is shifted to the left, leaving the right side blank with a white space.
I have attached a screenshot for your reference.
I have tried various alternatives, including using the zoom property, but it seems that Firefox does not support it. I am seeking assistance in resolving this issue and ensuring a consistent and smooth zoom effect across different browsers, including Firefox.
Your guidance and support in resolving this matter would be greatly appreciated. If there are any workarounds or best practices to achieve a zoom effect without causing layout distortions, I would be eager to learn about them.
Thank you for your time and assistance. I look forward to your response.
Best regards,
how to get the setting to run while

I used THIS link to change mousewheel.with_control.action to 5, which allows for using the scroll wheel to pinch zoom. My only issue is that it is extremely cumbersome, with 3 full rotations of the wheel required for a 2x zoom. Is there any way to increase the amount per tick it zooms in by?

On my Mac (High Sierra), I can't make Tab font larger even after using jscher's great fix using about:config and devp. It worked beautifully on Linux Mint (Firefox 103) but not on Mac with Firefox 115. Will be 80 in July. Want to fix this soon . . . ha!

I am seeing a very odd behavior. Sometimes, not always, it takes two or sometimes even three clicks to go to a link, especially bookmarks for some reason. That and at times I have to click on the address bar and hit enter even if I clicked a link to go to a new site. Mostly this happens with bookmarks and history items, but not always. I have disabled hardware acceleration and my few add-ons, I even put Firefox into safe mode to try to diagnose the issue further. Unfortunately I'm still lost and the issue presists. Any thoughts?
I'm using macOS Sonoma 14.1.2 and Firefox was just installed yesterday 120.0.1. The only extensions I have are AdGuard and 1Password.
I have noticed that when it occurs, I see the reload button cycle between the X and the Reload icon for like half a second and then does nothing else until I click on it. I have checked my Internet connection and it has been stable.

Our IT specialist at UW-Madison is stumped and suggested I reach out to Firefox. He was helping me troubleshoot why Firefox keeps saying it's sending a code to verify my account, but I never receive the code. He has added the "accounts" email to my contacts and I don't know what else to do or try. Any ideas from the community? I need my bookmarks after upgrading to Windows 11 and can't imagine trying to recreate them all.

Every day. Videos won't play. sometimes one restart of firefox will fix it. sometimes multiple restarts are required before it'll work. The loading bar at the bottom of the video (on the seek bar) indicates the video is loading but it won't play. There have been times where I have disabled every single add-on and it would not work. Add-ons do not seem to be the cause. I have tried it in a private browser window with no joy. I have refreshed firefox, I have uninstalled and reinstalled it. I have tried disabling my antivirus. I have tested videos on websites in other browsers with no issue. The issue seems to be with the video player itself. overlays seem unaffected, I can use the seek bar and it shows the captions. I have tested different websites including Youtube, Vimeo and Steam. I tried many tens of times to get it working today to no avail. finally when I closed nearly all my tabs, the video worked (but I had also opened TOR and run avideo in that), I am not sure if this is the cause. If the cause is having multiple tabs open, this is an issue for me. I have a learning disability and likely ADHD and I have a set of tabs as my homepages so I don't forget things. If It's not the mutliple tabs, then what else can I do?

Reinstalled Firefox after a computer upgrade and now I'm stuck with a disconnected account and a sync loop. I login and it shows login confirmed but I look in the top right corner where you access your account and it shows that it's disconnected. On top of that, I backed up all of my tabs, favorites and passwords but I don't have the ability to import it from the back up. I'm only given the options to import from another browser. Any help in this matter is greatly appreciated.

Does anyone out there know of a replacement for the Tab Groups replacement app? I have not updated Firefox past the v.55 only because I don't think it would work w/ any newer versions. I have found this to be the very best app I have ever used as I need to do a lot of research online and need something that will show all the windows and tabs on one page so I can easily go back and forth to a particular group quickly. Without this, I would have to spend hours finding the info and would only have one window in which to work. Ideally, a replacement would be able to use all the window/tab info I now have. Is there some way I could use this in some sort of legacy mode? I have several legacy apps, but can't readily recall how to do so. I think I tried this w/ the Tab Groups app and it didn't work, but am not certain. Suggestions much appreciated! Thanks, Wolfgang

My apologies if I am being a numpty, but I have been using Firefox for many years without issue, and recently (possibly after an update, but I cannot be certain), it has started to randomly freeze. I am running Ubuntu 22.04, and Firefox 119.0. I have demonstrated to myself that if I open a web page with links (but not always), and click on the link, I may still scroll up and down the page, but the mouse cursor never seemed to recognise the hotlink, and doesn't jump to it. The links will work on Chromium. I initially tried resetting the browser, thereby losing all my open pages, but that didn't work. That also removed all extensions ("all" two of them) and that didn't work. Firefox is now pretty much unusable. Any help to resolve this would be appreciated, as I cannot find any solutions online, and it seems I am not alone with this issue! Many thanks,

I couldn't find a category for Firefox accounts/Mozilla accounts, so this question will be posted in the Firefox forum.
TL;DR Is there any way to get in touch with someone at Mozilla who can correct a faulty notification email address for a Firefox/Mozilla account?
My best guess is that when I first created the Mozilla account, I used the Gmail address, and even after changing the primary and secondary email addresses for the account, the Gmail address still remains somewhere in some database in the backend and it can't be removed or changed by an end user. Is there any way Mozilla can fix this issue?
The full story
Today I received an email introducing the renaming of Firefox account to Mozilla account. The email was sent to my old Gmail address even though I've changed both the primary and secondary email address in my Mozilla account settings a long time ago.
Email notifications about sign-ins and/or changes that are made to the Mozilla account are sent to the correct email addresses that I've configured in the account. So the issue is with general announcement emails regarding Mozilla accounts.
I have not received the email about the Mozilla account renaming to the email addresses that are configured in the account. Somewhere down the line I will delete the Gmail account, but that will also mean that I won't get these kind of announcements and thereby risk missing important information regarding the account.

When you use Google's Translator, this application automatically adds a link to Firefox's history each time you modify even a tiny bit of what you are translating.
This means that sometimes, you can add 1,000 links within a day when you incrementally translate a piece of text, what is the default way to do.
Today, two minutes of that work generated 40 links!
Example of a typical link:
And that was only a small piece of text!
In my history, there are in between 50,000 of these, despite regularly deleting many of them.
Even on a relatively fast notebook, deleting 1,000 links in the history takes minutes.
I posted the problem to Google Translate as a feedback many times, but they never answered.
Is there a possibility within Firefox to selectively get rid of this permanent garbage?
That would be wonderful.

So I just picked up a new laptop (ASUS Vivobook 16x), and everything is fresh on it. Additionally, this only affects some video content in Firefox, with Edge browser unaffected. In brief, what is happening is that within a couple hours of having the browser open, certain video content stops working, specifically Twitter/X videos just spin, YouTube previews stop working, and videos continually load. Netflix videos continue to work, but hover previews stop functioning. I even check the 'Stats for Nerds' on YT and it shows 0 KB network activity in Firefox.
I've tried every basic action I can think of:
Only by doing a refresh or completely closing/opening the app gets videos to function again. This doesn't affect the old laptop or my desktop, which makes me think it's a rogue driver--but then why would Edge function without error over the same period of time?
Are there any settings to play with in the browser that can help diagnose?

My regular profile has deleted all saved history, tabs, bookmarks, etc. This happened before and seems related to having private browings open. and to an update in progress or recent.
Opend a private window. Then noticed regular FF wasn't opened. I opened the usual profile and all saved info is gone. Also, my stuff to be synced is way out of date so can't restore from there (I always had sync up to date). My "backup" can't be opened to restore.
Where do I find yesrterday's info? How do I restore my session, bookmarks, etc?
Last time, I tried to follow directions I found soemwhere but the instruction werent clear at all and had to restore from a disk image.
Why is there stsill the private window deleting regular window?
