Touch Keyboard not working in Firefox

I have windows 10 pro (64), 22H2 OS build 19045.4170, Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.19054.1000.0 and latest Firefox (125.0.3) installed on A HP Pavilion Notebook 1… (read more)

I have windows 10 pro (64), 22H2 OS build 19045.4170, Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.19054.1000.0 and latest Firefox (125.0.3) installed on A HP Pavilion Notebook 17 F121DS, Serie 5CD4355YDX. Touch Keyboard (not to be confused with on-screen) opens and closes immediately; sometimes, on the first occurrence, it stays open long enough to be able to click on a text field and then disappears. "On screen keyboard" works fine as does "Touch keyboard" in Edge and Chrome and all other Apps. Since this is a recent occurrence, and a lot of odd changes took place after the last FF update, I have reverted to Firefox 124, after this did not work also did a restore to last Restore Point from April. No change! I have consulted the [1754973] as well as [1750584] , but these did not help me much further. Any suggestions or is there a bug?

How default new page sites are selected? Is it possible to propose a new one?

I thought that featuring https://www.openstreetmap.org/ may be interesting (it is a Wikipedia of maps - with open data dataset contributed by various people, that anyone can edit and is already quite useful).

I think that it may be of interest for Firefox users.

Howdy,

Workflow: I have a firefox instance already running. I want to launch a new firefox in safe-mode to test something without disrupting my existing firefox.

Problem: I try to launch a new firefox in safe mode using `firefox --safe-mode`, but firefox just opens a new window NOT in safe mode.

I think it may because firefox in safe-mode requires launching launching from a new instance rather than attaching to existing instance.

`firefox --help` shows a flag I can use:

--new-instance Open new instance, not a new window in running instance. --safe-mode Disables extensions and themes for this session.

So I run `firefox --safe-mode --new-instance`

now I get error popup with message:

"Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To use Firefox, you must first close the existing Firefox process, restart your device, or use a different profile."

Now I think what is the point of the flag "new-instance" if Firefox doesn't support multiple instances?

Regardless, how can I launch firefox in safe-mode without disrupting my existing firefox instance and without relying on creating a profile just for this?

In Firefox the date format is set at „month, day, year“, but I need „day, month, year“.

I tried all the solutions, I even installed Firefox - English (British) version, but nothing changes.

Can you also implement an alternative, to be able to choose between the 2 options?

Thank you very much.

Your help utility needs help. -results don't show date, must open each item. Results seem to not be listed in date order. What a mess to sort through.
