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.

I posted the following on facebook yesterday, I feel as if something changed in my Firefox settings as this only started about 2 months ago. 2 factor Authentication is shut off in facebook. "Can anyone tell me how to shut this off? Everytime I log onto FB from my computer I get this screen. 2-factor authorization wants to send a code to my cell phone. There's got to be a way to turn it off. I am using Windows 11 pro with Firefox as a browser."

Any thoughts?

Firefox on MacOS in full screen mode makes the black offset between the screen edge and the Firefox window after logging in after MacOS is locked. It fixes itself when you exit the full screen and enter it again.

How to reproduce?

  • Open Firefox and enter the full screen mode
  • Close your MacBook and wait until it prompts you for your password or touch id
  • The Firefox window has black offset between screen edge and the Firefox window, that was not present before
  • Exit the full screen and get into it again, and the offset is gone

Hello I have Privacy Badger, NoScript, UBlock and Duckduckgo Privacy Essentials, all of which are functional as soon as I install them. I also have Ghostery which demands that I click on it to activate it. Ghostery has had a reputation of reverting settings to default after you have changed the settings to your preference. I reported this to you before and they gave the semblance of acquiescing to your safety standards. What information are they now collecting by asking me to click to activate?

Line break (\r\n) missing in clipboard after Firefox update – breaks formatting in Windows apps

Hello!

After the latest Firefox Desktop updates (not sure which one exactly, since I didn't notice the issue immediately), I've started experiencing a problem with copy-pasting text — specifically with line break formatting on Windows 10.

Instead of copying line breaks using the Windows-style carriage return + line feed (\r\n), Firefox now copies only line feeds (\n). As a result, the text appears as a single long line when pasted into native Windows applications — which breaks the expected formatting. This behavior mainly affects:

  • Text editable fields (e.g., contenteditable or textarea) in modern web applications.
  • Code blocks or snippets (such as in Markdown or monospace) copied using "Copy" buttons (e.g., in ChatGPT or GitHub).

At first, I noticed this only when copying code from ChatGPT using the code-snippet copy button. But now it happens in almost all editable text areas — if I enter text with line breaks manually, and then copy it, those breaks do not appear properly in native Windows apps. For example:

  • In Google Sheets, I often edit text with line breaks in a cell, but when I copy it back, it's all flattened into one line.

Right now, I have to fix this using scripts that replace \n with \r\n, but that's a very inconvenient workaround.

❗My main question is: What changed in Firefox that caused this behavior? This used to be reliable and feels like a regression. It’s a very basic feature and critically important for my daily workflow!

🔧 Follow-up questions:

  1. Can this be fixed in a future Firefox update? Will it be addressed?
  2. Is there a way to fix or configure this behavior right now via browser(settings, configs)?
  3. Is there an extension or workaround that can restore the \r\n format without manual scripting?

Affected apps:

  • ChatGPT
  • Google Spreadsheets
  • Trello
  • ProtonMail (regular text copying)
  • (more)

Thanks in advance for any clarification or suggestions!
