On some sites, some Chinese characters will display as completely blank. It's only some characters, and it's only on some sites. I know one would be inclined to say the site just doesn't have correct settings, but that doesn't seem to be the case because this issue only appears on Firefox (Chrome doesn't have this issue for the same sites). (Sometimes even on the same site it will be inconsistent whether it displays... Like the Google search results will display Chinese fine, but the text typed into search bar itself will display incorrectly.) The font it displays in also appears to be inconsistent, but I don't mind that as much.

I've tried changing the default font to both Microsoft YaHei and SimSun - neither changed anything regarding my problem.

I've seen other people with similar problems be recommended to figure out what fonts are being used via inspect element, but I haven't found any example providing what exactly you're to do after you've found that information out. However, if it helps, I did that and found out the fonts being used were MS Gothic, SimSun, and Yu Gothic, though I don't know which one is causing which issue, or what I'd do about it even if I did know.

Here's an image as an example - as you can see, some characters are fine, some display in a different font than the others, and some don't display at all. I would very much appreciate advice on what to do from here.

For the past few months, I've been getting this error and been searching for possible solutions. None of which have worked. I am also not using Kaspersky AV. With this, I'm asking if there's anything else I can do.

Here are the solutions I've tried: 1. Troubleshoot mode / disabling add ons 2. New profile 3. Clearing cache / cookies / dns 4. Changing "DNS over HTTPS" & proxy settings 5. Disabling firewall / AV / VPN 6. Chrome loads the site but I do not want to resort to this. Using developer mode browser does not work either for firefox.

My software is old. Windows 7. I know it is not supported any longer. Just started having problems loading email. Getting messages saying my Browser is not supported. Have I missed updates for FireFox?

I use Firefox 134.0.2 (64-bit) on Ubuntu 24.04.

Some (not all) web sites show up only after a delay of exactly 30 seconds. The attached screenshot shows that this delay is due to DNS resolution. This behavior is reproducible by simply closing Firefox, opening it again and entering the same web site once more. Once this initial delay of 30 seconds for DNS resolving has passed the web site can be browsed normally.

Using Google Chrome, Opera or even the Tor Browser on the same system works without any significant delay. Also a DNS lookup from the console returns data almost immediately.

As the delay is always exactly 30 seconds this looks like some DNS resolver timeout only showing up when using Firefox.

Neither starting Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode nor (as often suggested) disabling IPV6 for DNS by setting network.dns.disableIPv6 to true did help.

Any idea how to fix this 30 seconds delay?

Many thanks for any help, Felix

I have two shops on Etsy. From what I understand, I cannot access them both from the same browser, so I have Google Chrome for one and Firefox for the other. However, I have had a lot of trouble printing invoices and shipping labels from Etsy. When I hit print in Etsy, the invoices and labels are sent to Word and then there is some corruption. Yesterday, the shipping label was too small and the top portion was filled with Chinese language and not English. The rest of the label was in English. Is there a reason why the forms will not print directly from Etsy in Firebox? Transferring the files to Word (this is done by Firefox) makes a process that should be quick and easy a pain in the neck. Can this be resolved or I am going to need to use another browser. Thanks.

Hi Win10 PC fully up to date. Changed my printer from a Xerox to an HP laser. In the control panel, set the HP as the default printer. MS Office prints on the HP without prompting. Firefox (134.0.2) always defaults to the Xerox. The HP is available in the drop down box. Restarting the PC or reloading Firefox makes no difference, Firefox always defaults to the (non existent) Xerox. MS Edge defaults to the HP. Any ideas? Regards - Andrew

Your Computer Clock is Wrong

Your computer thinks it is Jan 8, 2025, which prevents Firefox from connecting securely. To visit r8---sn-1vob-aixe.googlevideo.com, update your computer clock in your system settings to the current date, time, and time zone, and then refresh r8---sn-1vob-aixe.googlevideo.com.

Please let me no why i am not getting able to download the extension what should i do for downloading the extension .my firefox version is also up dated but i am unable to download the extension

Hello,

We are running Roaming Profiles from our Active Directory architecture. It seems that a lot of files happen to have too long path&filename for example :

\\Serverinfo\Username\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\FirefoxUserProfile\storage\default\moz-extension+++f9efba58-d1ae-40d1-993c-f56654dc34c0^userContextId=4294967295\idb\{d1ae6e36-40f7-4f62-88b9...

Do you have any idea to configure Mozilla so we keep it able to handle these filename length ?

We cant use wildcard in exclusions so we cant exclude whats in a subfolder of each profile. It's not supported by ActiveDirectory GPO.

Hope it was understandable please let me know if you need further details.

This is a message I sent to the Zoom.us help staff a few days ago:

"Very often when I go to my Zoom tab on the Firefox browser and wish to schedule another meeting, even if I have recently (within and hour or so) I will be sent to the Sign In page. Then 4 out of 5 times, when I sign back in the little waiting wheel will spin and spin and I can't reenter to set up the meeting. But several times I have gone to the "sign in with google" icon below. This brings me almost immediately to my account and I am able to proceed. Why is this becoming a problem for me?? It seems that a sign-in with my password should be the most stable mode!"

They advised clearing my cookies in the Zoom cache, but this didn't help! I opened my Chrome browser and had no troubles signing in, but I am not a Chrome fan and I <never> use Edge!

I love Firefox and Mozilla. I started using Mosaic on my Apple IIGS back in the early 90s and then went to Netscape. I have never liked MicroSoft's way of copying Apple and the other innovators and then pretending that they invented it all themselves!!

I just wanted you to know of this issue. I wanted to forward my emails with Zoom, but could not find a viable email address to your support staff. Keep up the good work!!

I work from an Acer laptop running Windows 10 Home.

Hello,

I use Screen Time to block sites on my Mac, running Sequoia 15.1.1. For some reason, it recently (within the last 2 weeks or so) stopped blocking sites on Firefox 134.0.2, but not on Safari.

Is this a known issue? Is there a solution?

Thank you for your help.
