I once found a live bug opened for this, but I don't find it anymore.

The spell checking dictionary, as many pointed out, is horrible. It lacks tons of common words, as well as commonly used tech,internet, you name it - jargon words.

Is there (there should be) a repository to add missing words? Through my usage I add words to my private dictionary. Would be shame not to use this as part of this bug handling.

Re your (partial email & apology) sent to me by mistake:

"Greetings, It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. You know what else was humbling? Sending out an email by mistake, full of out-of-context Sagan quotes being used as placeholder text (thank you, Sagan Ipsum)."

So I looked for the humor in it, but then remembered that since you "partner" with the cursed WEF, it's more likely an expression of a severe mental illness that characterizes all who "partner" with them, & thus only deranged types might find funny.

Goodd day from UK I run firefox esr 115.9.1 and find the the F5 refresh key does NOT refresh the images. The same applies when using the "reload" icon in the menu.

Reading other posts, nothing seems to apply here.

There are NO add-ons at all and everything is cleared on close. The text DOES seem to change.

As a web developer checking updates this is extremely annoying as only hope is keep closing the browser (to clear everything) and restart - the loads new images etc.

I use several versions of Firefox (2, 20, 56) to ensure compatability with olf browsers and it seems to be only those over 100 with this issue.

Does anyone know if this is a "feature" or a"bug" and is there any simple (!) way around the issue?

Thanks

p.s. ALWAYS happens, not intermittently

When I want to go to the NY Times, and i type "nyt" the address bar automatically populated with the rest of the URL "nytimes.com". When I do the same thing with gmail and "gmail" it runs a search on a search engine instead of completing the rest of the URL.

Why would it do this for one website and not another? How do I fix this, I use gmail all the time so its a bit of a time waster.

Thank you in advance for your help!

I'm seeing an upper case white "P" and lower case white "f" inside a red box/square, in the left margin beside a bookmark. What does it mean? The specific website I bookmarked is Telus Mobility, My Telus. All other bookmarks look normal, with their own unique icons. "Possible fake"? Don't know how to screenshot it, so please don't ask.

Hello!

I can't figure out what setting to fix this: every time I click to open a new window, about 35 tabs automatically open up that I have closed several times in the past. I simply want one new window without any previously opened tabs.

I've tried:

  • clearing my entire search history several times
  • shutting down Firefox and reopening (which opens up all those tabs)
  • uninstalling Firefox and reinstalling it
  • initiating the latest Firefox updates
  • restarting my computer
  • turning my computer on and off
  • looking through every single preference in my Firefox settings (I've unchecked anywhere it talks about opening tabs)
  • reading various articles on Firefox's support page and on other support websites to try to figure this out (there's little info on this problem; the support is mostly about how to save previously opened tabs

Please help! I'm tired of having to close down all these tabs every single time I have to restart my computer or have to shut down Firefox. It slows down everything I'm trying to do.

Thank you!

Frankly this issue is mostly my fault and has an easy fix but I would like to avoid that.

Whenever I launch firefox none of my tabs load and even waiting for 2 hours did not make them load. Restarting my computer did not help. My bookmarks bar just looks empty with no icons and not even any text or buttons in there.

I've tried setting network.http.http3.enabled to false but that did not fix the issue.

I'm assuming my absurd tab count is the cause of this, but it would be odd since it worked just fine before. I should have around 7900 tabs and the session restore never failed me. Everything I needed loaded relatively quickly too.

My addons seem to work fine, I sometimes get random crashes (though I think this is due to GPU driver issues). Suddenly none of my tabs load which is very unfortunate.

Whenever I go into settings and scroll down to "Firefox Updates" Version 108.0 is stuck at 0 bytes and doesn't seem to download at all.

I would appreciate if I could fix this without losing my session. Thank you for taking the time to read this
