What can I do to have Firefox be compatible with my emails. When I open an email for the local newspaper, the news paper is distorted and enlarged 200% and asks me to sign in. Everything was fine until the most recent Firefox update.

I want to remove the recent update which results in Firefox and some of my email links to be incompatible. The newspaper link works on Safari but I do most of my activity on Firefox.

Also, the email link works fine on Google Chrome. But I hate Google Chrome and don't want to use it. I would prefer that the Firefox browser be compatible with sites such as my local newspaper.

I'm running Windows 10 and Firefox with latest updates. With Firefox closed, when I right click on Firefox icon and select Open New Window a previous session window with whatever tabs were open is opened. This happens even if in the previous session I opened a new window, then closed all other windows, and then closed the single tab new window. This seems to have begun happening about 2 or 3 updates ago.

That's pretty much it. Not entire web pages but a few words up to an entire line of text rendered in such a way as to be illegible. Most frequently, it looks like letters are superimposed with other letters. But also letters can be missing (e.g. baby becomes bab) or even occasionally rendered as what look like superscripts. Oddly, if I move the cursor over the bad text, it changes to what it should be. Or sometimes I have to select the text. Very rarely, nothing fixes it. This started with a system crash recently that required rebuilding a substantial chuck of hardware and a clean reinstall of Windows. A few days ago, I also did a clean reinstall of Firefox but the problem persists.

I have used Firefox for years - decades actually, without serious problems. I have a 16" macbook pro running ios 11.7.10. Firefox recently autoupdated to 132.0.1 Since the update my tabs have been crashing on the order of 5 - 10 times per hour. It happens to all sorts of tabs, not any specific site or type. HELP!!

Sometimes, when I copy and paste a Youtube link into Firefox or I open a Youtube video in a new tab, the video player won't load. Sometimes it's fixed when I reload the page, other times it can only be fixed if I open a new Youtube tab and paste the name of the youtube video in.

Notes: - Tested in privacy browser with only Ublock origin active (no other extensions), did not appear to have this problem (It's a bit difficult to test since it only comes up sometimes with opening Youtube in background tabs/copying and pasting a youtube video)

    - Something I noticed: video player appears to load a lot faster in privacy browser.
    - However, turned off all extensions and themes in non-privacy browser and still had the issue
    - Youtube pages load in the background of privacy browser, but in the normal browser I have to click on them to load

- Turned off hardware acceleration, didn't change anything - Tried troubleshoot mode, doesn't look like the issue is still there? But confused on why the issue still happens when I turn all extensions off not in troubleshoot mode

Wondering if it's an about:config issue? I don't think I changed anything in there, though.

Screenshot of my issue below.

This is a hail Mary. Microsoft changed the behavior of Windows, supposedly for security, so that clicking the Firefox button to make it the default web browser is no longer allowed. Instead, I get taken to the default apps section of Settings, where the only choices are Edge and Internet Explorer. No Firefox. Same with images and with video. Microsoft is not helping with this and I'm damned if I'm wading through probably a hundred or so file extensions changing each one individually. Somebody else must have run across this problem and maybe solved it?

My Google tab won't open anymore in Firefox. I have the latest version. It asks me to restore but nothing happens. I can open google on all other browsers. Safari, Chrome etc. but not Firefox.

When I'm typing something in my searchbar which doesn't locate to a direct website. This error appears. It doesn't appear while googleing from the google website. I couldn't find something like mysearchengine on the computer and this seemed to appear out of nowhere. I'm using firefox for half a year now. Do you got any ideas what's causing this and how to fix it?

I did see the question here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1448269

And the answer is not useful, mainly because apt-get does not use a browser to update its cache.

Err:16 https://packages.mozilla.org/apt mozilla/main all Packages

 400  Bad Request [IP: 34.160.78.70]

Using curl/wget/httpie works as intended, just apt-get update fails.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hello,

For years I've been able to watch a video in one tab and open a new tab. I could hear the video playing while I opened a new tab. Suddenly today the video pauses as soon as I click away to a NEW tab.

Oddly enough, if I have any other tabs already opened, when I first click on one of those, I can then open a new tab without the video pausing. It's only if I go directly from a YouTube video (that's already playing) that it pauses when trying to open a new tab. Odd.

Why is this happening? and so suddenly? At least I have a work around but this is so weird.

Any ideas out there?

Thanks, Andre'a

BTW - Is "Settings" the best topic? or should I've chosen something else (like Performance)?

I am trying to read the Wall Street Journal online, but I receive the subject message. Not a problem with other browsers. I need a relatively easy fix to continue with Firefox as I am not a sophisticated trouble shooter

FF v132.0.2 (64-bit). We utilize Sharepoint/Microsoft 365, and since switching to Firefox, the zoom controls normally located in the lower righthand corner for Excel spreadsheets is just gone. This is with extensions disabled, even tried Private View. Chrome properly shows it.

Screenshots attached showing Firefox/Chrome. That basically eliminates our ability to use FireFox if that's the case since there's no other way to do it.

Good day,

I've come across a problem afflicting literally only ONE website on all my browsing. The culprit is TCGPlayer and the problem is tabs just take forever to load in the background for some reason. It is the ONLY website I have this issue with. Does anyone have any workarounds for this?

On my previous PC I turned off one of my adblocks and it stopped. I've tried it again on this new one and still no dice. The ones I have are ublock Origin, adlblock ultimate and adguard adblocker mainly cause Youtube always finds a new way to try and bypass one of them.

Thanks in advance

Unable to "Dismiss" or "Delete History" on one unwanted app icon on Firefox quick connect screen. Many attempts to "Dismiss" won't make it go away. Same with "delete history".

Hello everyone,

I'm really hoping to achieve a streamlined interface in Firefox without the clutter of two separate bars.

Here’s what I’m looking for: I want the tab bar and toolbar combined into a single bar, similar to Safari on Mac. Specifically:

   The forward and backward arrows should be positioned to the left of the tabs.
   The search bar should be smaller and also located to the left of the tabs.
   The application menu button and extensions button should be moved to the top right corner (on the same bar as the tabs).
   I want to completely remove the separate toolbar, as it takes up unnecessary space.

I’ve attached an image for clarity.

I'm currently using Firefox 132 64-bit on an Intel Mac running macOS Catalina.

I’ve already tried the Neptune theme from this link: Neptune Firefox. The creator is amazing, and the theme is exactly what I need to keep me using Firefox exclusively. However, despite following the instructions carefully, I still only see the layout shown in my attached image. I can't seem to get everything into one bar.

I don’t have experience with coding CSS, and I currently lack the time to learn it. I’m unsure if the Neptune theme should be selectable in the themes menu, but it doesn’t appear there. However, I know this design is possible. I’ve searched various forums and read many threads, but none have provided a solution to my problem.

I would greatly appreciate any assistance in achieving the design shown in the attached image. Whether it’s through a theme, custom CSS code, a plugin, or any other method, I’m open to suggestions as long as it works. Thank you!
