hello guys I need help with this problem in firefox developed edition

Specifically, when I use the Inspector panel to inspect elements on a webpage, the selected elements are outlined with a blue border instead of being filled with color. This is making it difficult for me to visualize the layout and styling of the elements, and I would prefer to have them filled with color instead.

I have tried to find a solution on my own by searching online, but have not been able to find a clear answer. Could you please advise me on how to change the settings in Firefox Developer Edition so that the Inspector panel highlights elements with a fill color instead of just an outline?

When watching youtube or even doing a little task with only one tab the cpu usage from a specific firefox process goes upto 90%. And I have did everything that was given in the following troubleshoot method "https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-uses-too-much-memory-or-cpu-resources" but still the same result. I tried with troubleshoot mode on with disabling all extensions but the cpu usage was still high. I have also checked with firefox's own task manager tool but there wasn't a single process that was using full cpu. I'll be attaching all screenshots below.

The website in question is called myautosmart.com and it's used to look up a lot of locksmith-related information for specific vehicles, among other things. It requires verification of locksmith status and a paid subscription to log in so probably no one will be able to test anything directly.

Device: This is on a brand new installation of windows 10 with up-to-date firefox version 111.0 Device name LockProDesktop Processor AMD Ryzen 3 5300G with Radeon Graphics 4.00 GHz Installed RAM 16.0 GB (15.4 GB usable) Device ID 501298E6-8A64-419C-9629-AA47D9BF4370 Product ID 00330-80000-00000-AA817 System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor Pen and touch No pen or touch input is available for this display

Problem: Upon logging into the site, my username appears in the top right as if I am logged in, but every page continues to redirect to the login page as if I am not logged in at all, rendering the site unusable.

Steps tried: Logging in again Logging out and back in A cacheless reload (ctrl+F5) Restarting Firefox Restarting the PC Disabling all add-ons Enabling Troubleshoot Mode Contacting the website owners - they could not replicate the problem and assured me they tested it on a system running windows 10 and the latest version of Firefox.

Website works fine on Chrome, and in Firefox on another windows 10 pc I have, a windows 7 pc, a 15 year old iMac and a macbook pro. This is the only computer that has any issue.

Please let me know if you have any ideas.

Yesterday when Firefox 111.0 64 bit was installed, updated the unified extension button shows up and it cannot be made to not appear or hidden. I even tried to about:config and change the extensions.unifiedExtensions.enabled from true to false and restarted Firefox yet the extensions button still appears. On older foxfire versions could get rid of it by doing the above and it worked but this new version 111.0 64bit I cannot get rig of the extensions button icon that appears on the end of the tool bar. Please fix it so I don`t have to see this button in the Firefox toolbar at the end of it. I even had a computer online tech try and he says you have it fixed so it cannot be removed. I see others have complained about not being able to remove the button from the tool bar also..

I just updated to FF 111.0. After restarting FF comes up but then nothing. After a bit of I got the option to force close it. I tried opening a Private Browser and that worked fine so I figured it was one of my add-ons. However after closing the Private Browser and trying opening normally again it worked just fine. Disable all of my add-ons and for the same issue.

Renamed my AppData/Roaming/Mozilla folder and starting as normal worked fine. What a giant pain in the <bleep> trying to set everything back up.

Performed some more science and noticed this. After setting my Mozilla folder back, starting FF, and looking at the TaskManager, There would be 3 processes, one of those after a bit of time would show in red as Not Responding (or words to that effect). Clicking the window a few times to get the force close dialog again. Trying to open FF again, it opened just fine.

So I'm tempted to blame something in the update that is causing this. Yes, I could just start with a fresh Mozilla folder and reinstall all of my add-ons and blah blah blah, but whose to say that after setting everything back up the way I had it the problem won't come back.

I have thought about rolling back to FF 110.0.1, and suppressing the update check.

When I opened my Browser this morning (15 March 2023), I saw a message that I could edit PDF documents directly with Mozilla. There was a suggestion (button, I think) to try it. I did. There was a sample letter. On the letter in light gray were comments like "Use the [I-bar} to write here" and "Use the [paint brush] to...." I have no idea where these icons are. Their pictures on the screen where the suggestions are given are not interactive.

After the latest update, it takes two tries to open Firefox. The first time I get a blank page, which I close (and it's supposedly reported to Microsoft.) The second time I open it, I get a message about starting a new session, which I click, and then it opens properly. This has happened every time since the latest update.

I updated Firefox to 111.0(64-bit) this morning. My push notification from sites I allow started running through Windows notifications instead just popping up like normal. I read an article that said I could disable this feature through Windows Settings and the push notifications would start showing up like they used to. Unfortunately after I did this I stopped getting push notifications at all. Would have left it to go through Windows notification but it makes an annoying sound every time I got a notification and that got old fast. I just want push notifications back like they used to be.

Wifi router login not working on Firefox browser

Hello, so i have a hp laptop running on windows 11. I have 2 different wifi sources here at my home, one of them is a DSL zyxel modem from century link & the other is a Verizon internet gateway that runs off of cell towers. I recently logged into both of them to configure some of the settings etc. and in the past when i only had the DSL wifi, i would log into it via file explorer>network>network interface and then select the router & would automatically be taken to the login page. For the verizon wifi, i had to go into the browser searchbar ,while being connected to that network, and enter the default IP address of 192.168.0.1 and it would take me to the login page. I first logged into the DSL network and then for the first time ever, into the verizon one, and now when i try to login to the DSL network via my traditional method & also by inputting its IP address into the searchbar (both routers have the same default address to access setup), it takes me to the verizon login page regardless if im connected to it or not. If i input the DSL modems IP address into Edge browser while connected to it, it takes me to the correct login page for that network which leads me to believe that somehow something is messed up with my firefox browser. Ive already tried going into the saved passwords and deleting the saved verizon login info. Any other ideas as to what it could be? Thanks, JD

I have had several computers and a phone synced with Firefox. Recently, my mac book had to be wiped and OS reinstalled. Since then I have been unable to sync to my Firefox account on that laptop. I enter my standard email and the same password as on my desktop, but get an error stating, "Incorrect Password".

Following suggestion from an older thread with the same problem, I installed a nightly build on my desktop and tried to log in with that, unsuccessfully. Same problem. I used my same email and same password, but the nightly build version of Firefox reported the error, "Incorrect Password".

While thinking about this, I checked my newish phone and found it was not synced either. Using my email and password, I was unable to get it to sync. However, I was able to sync the phone using the QR code. So my phone is now synced to my Firefox account.

I really want to get the laptop to sync to my Firefox account and am mystified as to how to track down what the problem might be.

I recently learned about the `ui.textScaleFactor` option and found it very helpful to adjust the text size. I have currently set the option to 115. However, changing `ui.textScaleFactor` distorts texts rendered by pdf.js such that neighboring characters somewhat overlap.

Is it possible to disable `ui.textScaleFactor` on pdf.js?

OK I have been quiet about this issue for over a year. How difficult to put the cursor in the Search Box in the middle of the screen when Firefox loads? FWW the search boxes at the top of the page are close to worthless. One requires I know the URL address how often do you know the URL ? The other one is completely useless IMHO. And if it was useful what is the point of the Search Box in the middle of the screen? Something for me to Click In To. Let's think about User Experience where the application has well designed UI.

I am currently running the latest version of Firefox Version 111.0 (64 bit) on an Intel Mac OS machine. Firefox updated automatically per usual but now I am no longer able to drag from my toolbar downloads dropdown to either my desktop or any folder on my Mac. I used to be able to do this and it was apart of my daily workflow. So frustrating that something so small would be removed. I can only drag from my downloads to a new Firefox tab ONLY if hold down option but that is the only place I can drag and drop. Any solution? Please help.

Firefox no longer prompts when an update is available for download on Windows 11 (still seems to work on Windows 10 though). I have "Check for updates but let you choose to install them" selected in settings. On my Windows 10 machine, I always get prompted to download a new Firefox update. On Windows 11, nothing. I'd never know a new version was available if I hadn't already been prompted by Firefox on my Win 10 machine.

Outside of the OS, all the Firefox settings and addons are identical between the two machines. I do have sync on for Firefox. Notifications are turned on in Win 10 and Win 11, but Firefox isn't listed as an app in either to turn notifications off or on in Windows. Not certain why I'm notified on one computer but not the other regarding Firefox updates being available.

Issue seems to have begun with Firefox 110.
