Using your Firefox browser is become less and less likely due to so many issues now starting to compound given being forced to use Windows 11.

Your drop down list does not include my issue here...

Whenever trying to upload images to Blue Sky and as of today, images to articles published on LinkedIn, I'm being forced to use any browser except Firefox.

For some reason, Firefox is not allowing image to be posted whether copied and pasted or uploaded, as once I do that the images all turn black.

Recently affecting downloading PDF files from LinkedIn also... though once saved, thankfully the PDF us usable.

Previous issues were how I could no longer access ChatGPT using Firefox.

Now it is my fear that Firefox is no longer keeping up with the massive changes that are happening.

Please fix?

Thank you in advance, Trish

PS: If you need me to SHOW you, I can do that. Just let me know via email and I will comply to your request.

Screen reader not reading updated form fields in Firefox

I am facing an accessibility issue in Firefox when I try to use a screen reader on different online forms. The problem appears when the page has multiple dynamic fields. The screen reader skips some labels and does not read the updated content after new options appear.

I noticed this recently while checking an online service form similar to the eight one seven one web portal where the form loads new sections based on user input. In Firefox the screen reader does not announce these new sections, but in another browser it reads everything correctly.

I have already tried the following steps: Clearing cache Restarting Firefox Testing with two different screen readers Trying safe mode

The issue remains the same.

I want to know: Is this a known accessibility issue related to dynamic form updates Is there any setting in Firefox that helps screen readers detect newly loaded elements Do I need to change anything in the accessibility permissions or advanced settings

I would really appreciate guidance because this affects users who depend on screen readers for completing online applications.

Thank you.

At about 9 AM EST, 11/12, Firefox did an update that rendered accessibility through my voice navigation software inoperable. I need to use this to navigate the web due to disabilities with my hands. The system could no longer recognize any thing buttons or words on webpages, including the Firefox tabs at the top left of screen. I posted a question about this on 11/13. Later that afternoon, the functionality was restored. However, this morning, 11/13, this functionality has vanished again. Can this please be restored? Something obviously went awry in the coding with this most recent update. Thank you.

I use a screen reader and thus do not use a mouse. The only instructions in the mozilla knowledge base for how to generate strong passwords via the mozilla password manager are mouse specific. After much messing around, I figured out a solution.

Would some kind soul add the following to the article at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-generate-secure-password-firefox

```markdown

  1. How to make firefox generate strong passwords using only the keyboard

Here is the steps to follow to have Firefox generate a strong password using only the keyboard.

1. tab to a password field 2. press shift+f10 or the context menu key on your keyboard and choose "suggest strong passwords" from the menu 3. now use unmodified down arrow key and choose "use a securely generated password" from the menu ```

Thanx much.

Good day, I'm trying to use my TAB key on my keyboard to move to the next input but instead it only functions as an Enter key now. Which means I physically need to use my mouse to click on the next input field in order to move to the next section. Such a small and basic function that is now gone- and unfortunately a deal breaker for me using Firefox. I need to work fast, working through thousands of lines of data, I cannot sit and click on every field. None of the fixes I've found works.

Firefox will not open this website (it is my personal photography website.) I'm using Windows 7 64 bit. Seemingly, every other website, but this one will open using Firefox. I have always been able, to use Microsoft's browser, to open this website, except, now, they no longer support W7/64. Thanks, for any help, David Johnson

Need help. Just installed Firefox on Windows 11 on a new computer. I tried to sync the bookmarks so that it was like all the other versions I've had. But, I can't. I can put bookmarks on the Bookmarks Toolbar, but where I used to have the Bookmarks Menu as a STAR on the top right of monitor I can't seem to do it. I miss opening a folder and having multiple bookmarks opening all at once. A little help please. Thanks...

I am curious if anyone has any experience using Firefox and the Weston keyboard. My hardware is a TI-skam62evm with a touch screen. When I run firefox the weston keyboard does not ever pop-up.

I can get the keyboard to show up with chromium if I pass in the --enable-wayland-ime flag when I launch chromium.

I did some digging and my trail ended with looking at WAYLAND debug logs that show weston advertising zwp_input_method_v1 and zwp_text_input_manager_v1 but firefox not binding. What input method does firefox use?

[2307619.264] wl_registry@18.global(20, "zwp_input_method_v1", 1) [2307619.295] wl_registry@18.global(21, "zwp_text_input_manager_v1", 1)

Any thoughts on how to use firefox with the Weston keyboard would be greatly appreciated.
