MacOS 14.6.1 Firefox 31.0.3 (aarch64)

I have a long (19000px) table with a sticky row at the top. On Safari or Chrome it works fine. On Firefox it works for around 800 px and then becomes 'unsticky'.

Is this a known behaviour?

I have tried disabling all of my extensions, and it still doesn't fix the issue. Any help would be appreciated.

Today, something has changed in my Firefox browser. When I click on a link in my gmail inbox, it opens a new tab, as would be expected. But, the browser commits a google search to that link... this breaks the link! I have turned off Google as the default browser in settings, but still no luck.

Example: Link in gmail: https://accounts.firefox.com Link created in new browser tab: https://www.google.com/url?q=https://accounts.firefox.com

Browsing works well on my Ubuntu/Linux 22.04.5 laptop except one site. Images are not loading. I can see it has js-errors which might be related. And that may be because some js files are being blocked. The site does work on my iphone though. And using Browserstack I can see it works with other OS.

The site is: knowledgecottonapparel . com

I've verified that others using Linux has the same issue, https://askubuntu.com/questions/1526728/issue-with-specific-site

On certain websites, I see that the background color of the new tab page replaces the default background color making the content unreadable, example:

If I browser this website: https://typespec.io/docs

Here's what I see (see the firsrt attached screenshot). Now, if I open the same URL in Private browsing, the background color changes too (see the second screeenshot). In the 3rd screenshot I'm adding the reference rendering, that's how I expect this website to render (Edge).

In the screenshot 1 and 2, the background color is exactly the same as the one used by the new tab page when I open a new tab.

Questions: 1) Why is that? 2) Can I change that?

Context: I'm trying to switch to Firefox (from Edge)

I was writing something in an online text editor. I use the symbol "«" frequently in my texts, and i never had an issue with writing the code to set it, which is Alt + 174. However, all of a sudden using Alt + 7 brings me back to the home page trough the link "About:home" and Alt + 4 Does something similar, but back to the page i was before. Is there a way to disable this? I didn't change anything in my settings, and this situation has made writing symbols that use Alt + [Number] incredibly annoying as i have to look for them in the internet and copy and paste them.

I've been trying to switch from Chrome, and Chrome has an extension which allows you to keep tabs suspended until you click within the tab itself. So even if the tab is open/in focus, it'll stay suspended. This is important because I Ctrl-Tab through lots of tabs and don't want to load a bunch of tabs every time I do that.

Is there a way to do this in Firefox? I've tried a few suspending add-ons (e.g. Auto Tab Discard), and none of them have this functionality.

I had always been able to go to the Vidmax.com website. It now gives me the error: Server Not Found. I've gone through your support site and done clearing of history & cookies. I am unsure if it happened following an update, but I would suspect so. I am not tech savvy and unsure how to fix this. I clicked on the lock in the URL area and could see nothing that looked as if it was blocked. I am not sure how to fix this.

Hi!

I run Firefox-ESR on kali Linux in a Parallels Virtual Machine. Since a few updates I see a strange behavior: The mouse target under the cursor deviates from from each other by approximately 50 pixels. I can use Firefox as usual but need to adopt to this behavior manually. There are no extensions or add-ins. Any idea?

First of all, I am a human rights commissioner. Obviously, you don't need to ask too much about my experience. I have been conducting activities in mainland China, which means I have to visit overseas websites to get important news and bring it back to China. However, language communication is very important. I can't always look up in a dictionary to find out what the news is about. That will be a waste of time. So out of respect, I can only reply to you in English. Thank you for your understanding and support. I am a democratic whistleblower who supports Taiwan independence. You can do some research on my background. I respect your decision!
