Firefox Community Forum

Ever since a few weeks ago, some of my add-ons as well as every new add-on I added after that are unavailable at the start of Firefox. I then have to click into the application menu, click on the warning message for that add-on and enable it again. Since this is quite tedious and frustrating, I tried looking online for any info. I tried updating everything, disabling and enabling manually and removed and re-added some if the add-ons that cause issues.

I am loath to set up a fresh profile or reset all add-ons as that would cost a lot of time to configure everything again. In hopes of a solution that avoids that I am asking here now.

You have suddenly blocked my access to BlueSky. Please restore it. Now. Blocking this on the eve of the new President's installation makes me question your motivation.

Problème : En raison d'un ralentissement grandissant de Firefox, j'ai désinstallé le programme, après avoir sauvegardé le profil à l'aide de Mozbackup. Je l'ai ensuite réinstallé, puis j'ai restauré le profil. Même si cette restauration semble efficace, il n'en reste rien quand je lance Firefox. Que faut-il faire pour récupérer mes données ?

Hello. I often use a frame interpolation application called Lossless scaling (LS) for watching YouTube videos. LS captures frames from a window using APIs like DXGI or WGC and generates interpolated frames between them. When running LS with YouTube videos played in full-screen on other browsers, it correctly detects and operates at the video's native framerate. However, when using Firefox, the application detects a framerate 2 to 3 fps higher than the actual video fps. For instance, a 60 FPS video is detected as 62 FPS, resulting in poor frame pacing and a noticeably choppy playback. It works fine in Chrome or Edge, but I would really like to resolve this issue.

I am using a Hammerspoon on MacOs to do my window management. This allows me to move windows around to different areas and monitors using my own hotkeys. For all other applications, this works perfectly. Windows move to the target area/screen instantly when I press a hotkey. However, Firefox always needs some "encouragement". On every key-press, it moves towards the desired location & size, but never gets there in one go.

After some googling, I recently found another question on this forum that seemed to fix the problem. It is this question: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1438695

By setting `ui.prefersReducedMotion` to 1, Firefox stops its animation-stuff and does exactly what is expected when the windowmanager gives the window a series of `(x, y, w, h)` instructions. So, that seemed like the fix I needed.

But... I typically don't reboot my mac for weeks on end and I noticed that after "some time", Firefox reverts back to its old behaviour. I have not yet figured out if there is a minimum amount of time before this happens, or if it has something to do with locking/unlocking my mac. At the moment the only way to fix it again is to restart Firefox.

I know reducing animations in MacOS' accessibility-settings probably fixes it for good, but that is not what I want. That would remove _all_ animations from all of the apps and the OS. How can I help investigate this?

On LinkedIn some ellipsis/see more buttons are not properly displayed, for instance in "About" sections. See attachment, I took the screenshot on both Firefox (133.0.3/Ubuntu) and Chromium.

The offending html code is this

    <button class="inline-show-more-text__button
               inline-show-more-text__button--light
               link" aria-expanded="false" role="button" type="button">
             …see more
    </button>

FF sometimes doesn't open links from email, and sometimes other links in a site. Frustrating when I need that download but can't get it. I disabled all my extensions, closed and reopened FF, but it didn't change anything. Had this problem with Brave too and it got so bad it was inopperable and had to delete it. I'm using Google for DNS.

Any help is appreciated

I am having problems accessing Firefox the first time in the morning. I suspect it is a wi-fi issue but other feedback asks me to check i have the correct, updated version of Firefox on my Mac desktop. Are there simple (I am not gifted in these matters!) steps I should follow to check this?

Hello I installed Windows some time ago, after that when I installed Firefox and added my account to it, none of my data was there, even though I had backed up a lot of passwords, bookmarks and add-ons. Now I have to check if I have any data. Syncing is not happening. Please check my account and help me recover my data.

Thank you very much.

Quite often when I try to open the RMB context menu to download image from Google Images it either:

• shows me Developer tools or
• suggests to translate the image or
• redirects me to another page

I don't understand why it's happening at the first place, and how to solve this issue. I have installed Firefox 128.0.3 (64-bit) from Flathub.

Difficulty signing in to my Natwest on-line account when using Firefox. Spaces for entering pin and password are blocked. Whereas no problem when signing in on google chrome.

Is there a remedy for when using Firefox? Pls see two photos.

Thank you.
