I've been able to change some of the Tooltips in my Firefox, but there are still that I can't edit. I've not been successful on Thunderbird at all. Using this in my Firefox's `userCrome.css`:

` tooltip {

   padding:          .5rem 1rem !important;
   color:            var(--light0) !important;
   background-color: var(--dark0) !important;
   border-color:     var(--neutral-orange) !important;
 }

` The "Show your Bookmark", "Open a new Tab", "Back/Forward", "Reload", all of my bookmark websites work. The "Home", "Open application Menu" and "Extensions" still show a black bg w/white text. Switching to a light theme shows the white bg w/black text, so it's a theme issue and not a Operating System (Win 10) thing.

I can't seem to get any of my custom Tooltip colors to show up in Thunderbird.

Any help would be appreciated!

I have a PC. Today, Bing took over my Firefox. I have to go through Bing to get Firefox. I don't want that. I just want to use Firefox.

Note that I use two web browsers. Google Chrome (default) and Mozilla Firefox. No others. I don't want Bing.

I purged Bing from Chrome by making Chrome my default, which it has been. I use Firefox some of the time. I don't want to get to Firefox by going through Bing. Microsoft has enough domination.

CHHIMI.com and FireFox on PC

Recently MalwareBytes has been flagging, MANY times a day, an attempt by Firefox 129.0.2 to go to CHHIMI.com. The message from MalwareBytes says it is being "blocked due to Trojan". This is an "outbound" type from C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe.

The only info I have been able to find about CHHIMI is that it is a very new website that does not use HTTPS validation. Allegedly has something to do with gaming. The only "gaming" I do is an occasional bout with an on-board (not on-line) Solitare.

So, the fundamental question I have is why is FireFox routing to CHHIMI.com and how do I stop it?

I've encountered this for years and it's upset me so much I'm sending you guys a message.

Here's what's happening: 1) I boot up Firefox (takes 2 seconds) 2) I quickly scan your stories (Some of your stories are interesting) takes 2 seconds 3) I click a bookmark then think "wait, i'm curious about that story" so i hit back 4) ALL OF THE STORIES ARE REFRESHED and the story is just completely gone

Happens every few weeks or so but it's so frustrating

Google search and google sites not loading from the address/ search bar in firefox. Other sites work fine.

Google is my default search engine in the address bar on firefox. When I search in the address bar, it just resets to the page that I am currently on and doesn't load the search. It does the same if I try typing 'google.com' or 'google.ca' but gmail.com seems to work fine.

If I type in a full website address for other sites (reddit, wikipedia, duckduckgo, etc) it works fine.

I deleted firefox all together and downloaded it fresh and reset to default settings. Right now I only have one extension and it's ublock origins. I've disabled ublock origins to see if that would help, and I'm still having problems.

The problem is inconsistent where sometimes if I type google.com it will take me there and other times even that won't work. Sometimes if I try changing the default search engine in settings and then switching it back to google, it will fix it for a few searches, but then I go back to having issues.

It just sort of keeps circling back to the same problem even if I can get it to work briefly. Re-opening firefox in safe mode clears the problem while it's in safe mode, but even with all extensions disabled, the problem keeps coming back when I'm not in safe mode.

Any ideas or fixes?

This is something that I've noticed for a while, but why is it that whenever I go to Twitch and try to open a live stream, it always comes out muted? This does not happen if I use Twitch on other browsers, or on my phone.

I used Firefox and recently there is no audio on any of the websites I visit. I am using an ASUS laptop with Windows 11. Other browsers (Edge and Chrome) do have audio. I tried disabling all of the add-ons but it did not help. Has anyone else experienced this or have a possible solution?

For several days, on all sites I have visited with shopping carts, a low-opacity grey rectangle appears in the upper right hand corner of the screen. Nothing appearing on the screen covered by the rectangle will respond. And usually, the shopping cart button, and/or the search field are behind it.

I am forced to change to using Safari or Chrome if I am going to buy something (unless it's Amazon, that's the only shopping site I have used that seems to be free of this weird obstacle).

I'm not sure exactly when this behavior started, but I've noticed that when I click a link to an XPI file on a third-party web-site, Firefox no longer prompts to install the extension.

For instance, when I click the outlined link in the first screenshot, the second screenshot shows what happens.

I had a problem therefore I had to reinstall Firefox. When I reinstalled I had to login again and I did that with my usual Mail Address that I used for Firefox since years! But something was off... No Bookmarks, no backups nothing! I pressed sync to get the data because it didnt fetch it automatically but nothing happened either. I logged out and somehow after googling I found a way to login with google! (The option wasnt available anymore in the browser options WTF?! ) logged in and saw my profile picture etc I noticed this was my real account right there! Logged in and landed (at leat so it seemed in that new account that I described before which wasnt my real account, I synced nothing happened, all is fcked!) I lost my account so it seems with bookmarks that I gathered for years! ALL LOST.. Iam mad, frustraded, sad... and there doesnt seem to be any backup on my harddrive at least and my firefox account has been overwritten... Should I´ve been swapped earlier to google Chrome?! I really liked Firefox over these years... Iam so sad right now

Firefox does not allow me to post comments on New York Post. The comment section says I must log in to post, but I am already logged in. I can log out and log back in again, but still not allowed to post as it says I need to log in. When I change browsers there is no difficulty posting after logging in. What setting on Firefox is preventing me from posting on NY Post?
