I installed FF 69 on my mac. I installed FF mobile 19 and Lockwise on my iphone. I created a new FF account for syncing, verified the email. I logged into this new account on Mac, and both FF and Lockwise on the iphone. All three 'devices' are shown in account management correctly. I created a test bookmark on a mac and a different one on iphone. But when I try to sync on either of the devices nothing happens. Indicator spins for some time, but nothing gets synced. The account button on a mac should reverse white/black colors during sync process but it doesn't. And the end of sync log shows this. I'm no expert but it looks like some login fail although I am successfully logged in to my ff account on all of the devices.

FireFox Web Browser Version 69 - New Privacy Setting "Block Audio and Video" is not working

September 7, 2019
I was not able to block videos from automatically playing on the ESPN website.
Operating system = Windows 7 - 64 bit Firefox web browser version 69 is installed and the Autoplay feature was set to Block Audio and Video.
I closed Firefox and restarted my system. I made sure the Block Audio and Video selection was still enabled.
I went to the ESPN website, selected MLB from the pull down menu and selected SCORES. From there I picked any game that was played and selected BOX SCORE. The summary page for that game displayed on the web page and the small autoplay video screen to the right began to play (without sound).
I noticed that if I selected the "circle I" from the address bar and then selected "Clear Cookies and Site Data ..." at the bottom of the pull-down menu, I could clear two cookies (espn.com and www.espn.com) and then the autoplay video screen would be blacked out. But this work-around is required every time I visit the ESPN website, which defeats the purpose of the new video blocking feature of Firefox version 69.

A recent update has changed the functionality of browsing images on eBay and other sites that use similar "slide-show" functionality.
Within the images section of an item on ebay, the left- and right-cursor keys on the keyboard no longer advance the through the images one-at-a-time -- now they skip two images at a time, or sometimes more, or sometimes right to the last image.
Further, on ebay, upon first opening the image-browser, when the thumbnails row does its initial auto-hide, it will not re-display by hovering the mouse over its display area -- unless first moving the pointer past the top of the display, THEN back down to the thumbnail display area.

You know when you approve Firefox to remember log-in names (NOT PASSWORDS!!!) just log in names like the user name? I know which I created but 1) someone hacked into my email and 2) when I went to log in to of course change passwords, I see this user name I did not create. Something like Gina2659 -- I see it show up but I put in the real name, How did this come about? I did not create that. How do i get rid of it? Is there a way to get firefox to unremember it? I would appreciate un-doing it. Also, most important, someone of course accessed my email because a folder was created that I DID NOT CREATE and it was a "send" folder when I have a sendmail folder. I have no idea for how long, probably not long, but there were emails I sent months ago, MONTHS AGO LIKE MAY that I saw in that folder. I got rid of the folder and of course went through the process of changing passwords to my email, and am going to change this one, too.
Another issue: I do NOT EVER want a password for everything. How do I check to be sure this is not the case with the mozilla password I have? When I see the "you did it! your signed in" and then get firefox everywhere else" Does that mean this password is used for other things in firefox? I only want a password for the browser which should also be used to get help, whether they call it firefox or mozilla. I think the one password that opens all is insanity. That is what google does. This is why I don't ever use chrome anymore. It is why I make sure to change my gmail password every month. Why I cringe at even having to have it in my smart phone and why I will never gt another android phone. I appreciate your help and insight. (I ASSURE ALL, there is no way I created that folder, and NO WAY anyone else could have because I am utterly careful and NOBODY else can use this notebook unless they hack in.) I think this happened around the time a week ago I first saw that "user name" gina6598 whatever. NOT my creation. thanks, Gina

When I click on "Create an announcement" in Blackboard, Firefox opens a new tab "about:blank." When I click on the "edit" toggle switch, the screen flashes and nothing happens. Everything else seems to work fine. I have no issues like this when using Chrome. What could be the issue and the fix? I would really rather not have to go back to Chrome just to use Blackboard. BTW This is occuring on both my MAC and my PC. Thanks!

The built-in keyboard shortcut CMD+SHIFT+P stopped working for New Private Window several versions ago, and this bug continues to go unaddressed. Does anyone know when this will be fixed?
All other built-in keyboard shortcuts work fine.
Also, custom keyboard shortcuts created in System Preferences don't work for new container tabs. I have CTRL+OPT+S assigned to File > New Container Tab > Shopping, but it doesn't work.
In both these cases, I know the shortcut IS properly assigned because it shows up in the menu, next to the name of the command.

Many development tools will automatically open a browser upon start-up (e.g., fire-up a react-app, or a jupyter Notebook). I only have `firefox-dev` on my machine. I have created an alias firefox -> ../path/to/firefox-dev/bin. I had to do this because `firefox-dev` nor `firefox` worked (command not recognized). Finally, my mac os preference has been set to `firefox-dev`.
Despite having set the `env` variable `$BROWSER` set to the alias, the desired behavior (above) is not happening.
All in all, it would be great to have expanded documentation on how to fully configure your mac to use `firefox-dev`. Thank you in advance for any help on this useful part of my workflow.
PS: I love this app. Nice job!

I use a laptop that I frequently connect to a large external monitor. When on the laptop, often my Firefox v69.0 (64-bit) browser windows are full-sized (not full-screen mode, but just taking up the entire desktop). When I plug in the external monitor, these windows migrate to the external monitor and are much smaller than full-screen. However, Firefox appears to continue to have these windows tagged as full-screen, as when I am on one of them, and open a new window using command-N, I get a full-scree (on the large external monitor) size window, rather than a window of the same size.
I don't think this is desired or intended behavior--is there a way to override it or submit a bug report?
Thanks

When using the virtual keyboard, IME (no matter third party's or Windows 10's) dosen't work at all. In this case, ONLY English input works. other languages (such as Chinese IME and Japanese IME) inputs are not working.
This issue only happens on the virtual keyboard, not on physical keyboards.
I'm recently using a Windows 10 tablet equipped with a touch screen, and sometimes I remove my detachable keyboard and use the touch screen only, and this issue stops me from using Firefox without my detachable keyboard.
Firefox version is Firefox Quantum 69.0.1 (64 bit).
