Firefox text on a Windows 10 machine with OS scaling set to 200% is pixelated.

Bought a new monitor which is set to 3840 x 2160 by default, so i had to change the Windows UI display setting to 200% for my eyes.

This is fantastic on Windows and works as expected with Chrome and Edge browsers. Type appears to be correctly anti-aliased. It does not work with firefox, however. Both the browser UI and viewport content is pixelated.

Attached are three examples of the pixelation on text that we are seeing.

There is no scaling set within the browser - this is a new install with everything set to default at 100%.

Is there a system setting that we need to invoke in order to smooth type within the viewport. There are several articles on this forum that seem to touch on type smoothing but we were looking to confirm whether there is a default setting that can be changed outright.

Why can't I access my multiple open Firefox tabs on my Widow 11 desktop unless I open a new tab, then click on History?

Can anyone please help me figure out why can't I access my multiple open Firefox tabs on my Widow 11 desktop unless I open a new tab, and then click on the three line Firefox app menu symbol, then select "History" and then go back? I don't even have to choose a function under "History". I just go back to the tabs and they have become available to be selected and activated. This fix is only temporary and may have to be repeated several times in one session. The misbehaving tabs show up in a horizontal row over my toolbar area (sometimes as dark panels after an update) but clicking on them just causes the row of tabs shown, or the vertical list of excessive multiple tabs, to disappear. I tried selecting troubleshoot mode, but did not see any indications of errors. This problem only began after my last Firefox update and does not go away after a Windows reboot.

I could not join a group panel discussion in US using Zoom. The error message said connection could not be made with a Zoom site ending with .us The meeting was organised by Coda a US based organisation. The Uk end was organised by a website called Eventbrite. I tried again using an I-Pad but got the same rejection withh error message PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR

I should add that recently quite frequently when I start an online search on my Windows 10 PC a box appears at left end of search box stating   "Insecure" but this quickly disappears.

Dear Mozilla Support Community,

This is a rather interesting observation I've recently made, but it appears that with every new software update on my Firefox Developer Edition browser, that I inexplicably (and mysteriously) get signed off/logged off of all my already logged in websites, and while this isn't a major tech issue, per se... It is an annoying one and I would like some clarity on this.

Is there a feature that toggles this on and/or off? Or perhaps, this is a known bug? What is the bottom line on this?

Thank you!

She denied permission to install helper at first, but that caused firefox to be dysfunctional. Retrying the install and giving permission to install the helper did not correct the problem. Her laptop is pretty much down for the count on this problem - firefox does not come up. Endless spinning beachball.

Is a work-around available?

It seems there is some conflict between the firefox helper and her VPN, private internet access (PIA) adding the login background task. She's. been using PIA for years.

I would try removing and re-installing firefox as a work-around but that would destroy the her bookmarks she relies on.

Thanks, Jerry

I am tired of this bullshit.

So i was using the beta branch of the firefox and beta version stopped working with a site for some time. so i tried to come back to the stable version.

After i do that and fix my config. In every couple of hours there would be a notification window pop up with sound saying this

"firefox this profile was last used with a newer version of this application. Please create a new profile"

So i did create a new profile BUT i copy pasted my own configuration.UI stuff from my old settings from "About:config"

This notification STILL comes up FFS what do i need to do then?

HOW COME MY UI CONFIGURATION TRIGGERS THE DAMN NOTIFICATION?

I will not re-do my fckng UI configuration by hand.

Hello, ever since I upgraded MacOS to 15.3.1 and Firefox to 135.0.1 the top menu bar seems to disappear. I do not know which is the culprit, but on MacRumors (https://www.macrumors.com/) you'll find several others with the same experience.

My personal observation is that it seems to happen on various Silicon hardware (tried 3) and when multiple tabs are active.

The bug is no showstopper, but to proceed you got to click on the (invisible) menu bar in the upper left. Thanks for reading.

firefox (all the latest versions) unstable in Ubuntu 24.04lts and WIN7

Thought only Ubuntu's Linux Firefox 136.0 was 'unstable' on my Gateway E-475M laptop - crashes, restores session then freezes only to log me out, then completely locking up requiring holding down power button and rebooting...

Now, even Firefox 136.0 on WIN7 is crashing, then restores session only to go to the 'blue screen of death' requiring holding down the power button and rebooting...

Evidently, the problem is not with Ubuntu or WIN7, but either: Firefox (Linux or win version); or, the Gateway E-475M laptop (2.0GHz CPU, 4Gb RAM, 8Gb swapfile, Harddrive at 61% usage, Linux/Win on separate booting partitions, LAN + usb & pci wifi's, etc.) - both OS's used to work fine, but as upgrades to Firefox have come along, they have steadily gotten more and more unstable...

Sometime, I'm only making a bookmark, and it starts this circus act... does it on differing websites, etc. Firefox is the only thing loaded - using two windows on two different monitors ...at a loss as to what to do - Firefox is supposed to be THE lightest-weight browser out there, and was for awhile... the only extension used on both systems is "NoScript" - could that be causing the disturbance in the force?!?
