No matter what I try, I can't allow any sites to present my screen or a window, I can't find an option in settings neither in the option to allow in the tab. The "allow" button is simply not available at all. How do I solve that? The problem happens in all sites that I've tried: focusmate, cofocus, discord, google meet, etc

I have frequently seen website privacy notices which tell me that I can ask my browser to tell me when they try to set a cookie. I have never seen any browser that actually does this, and I have never found any way to get Firefox to do it. Quite a few sites don't work correctly if I set strong cookie protection. I don't want to disable this, but I would like to allow a cookie to be set if I think that particular cookie is acceptable to me. In particular one bank that I use has it web site spread across multiple domains and as a result its "remember me" login option doesn't work with third party cookies disabled: I presume that this is because it tries to set a cookie on a domain which is also owned by that bank but is different from the domain of the login page.

Allowing third party cookies per-site would not be enough because many sites use third party scripts which try to set their own cookies to track users across different sites. IMHO this breaches the GDPR, but the regulators aren't willing to do anything about it.

I can see what cookies have been set using the Cookie Quick Manager extension, but that only tells me after the event, and then only if I look. It isn't practical to look after every interaction.

Can we please have an option (preferably per-site or per-container) which allows a user to intercept each attempt to set a cookie and decide whether to allow it.

I have read previous answers from firefox in regards with new tabs. How difficult can it be to give me my free choice of my new tab url without using an unnecessary plugin / extension. Why do I need to fight to keep you guys from taking property rights on my 'New Tab Url' You came forward ....that the new tab came under attack from malware therefore we cant use custom new tab from ver 41. Well this is BS if I can set custom Home Page why not New Tab....It is the same security risk! Why is it so difficult to understand that when I open my browser and all other new tabs I want it to be my Home Page. Give me the option to set my home page and new tab as the same address. WTF mozilla dont be like Edge

Dear Well Loved, Firefox community.

I wanted to ask if theirs a trick to, or if not, ask for a how to ask mozilla to create a new functionality for storing you Default Session Setup.

Whats the idea, is very simple. This surges, for my needs of how I use the tool.

Somewhere, 70%-90% of my work week hours are spent on a browser, specific on the very best and my first love, Firefox (well si was not may first, but it the closest to Netscape, my true love). For organization reasons, I always open my tabs on the same order and pin the first 4 to 5 tabs, there are my top 4 to 5 tools, example: my email, my calendar, messaging (whatsapp or slack), , my comapy tab (erp, crm, wms, etc).

So it will be nice, that at any divice I'm login, every time I open my Firefox this pin tabs always open first, so that my working setup is open wright away.

When I start to drag a div to drop it in another div on the same page, it fails with the message:

"Uncaught DOMException: The operation is insecure.

   dragstart_handler http://127.0.0.1:5000/main.js:7"

This is main.js:

``` function dragstart_handler(event) {

   var t = event.target;
   while (! t.draggable == "true" && t.tagName != "BODY") {
       t = t.parentNode;
   };
   if (! t.draggable) return;
   event.dataTransfer.setData("application/x-moz-node", t);

... ```

All dragging goes inside the same document, so "The operation is insecure" shouldn't happen.

Also I get an empty string when trying to get the draggable data:

``` function drop_handler(event) {

   var t = event.target;
   const parent = t.parentNode;
   if (parent.id == "drag_area") {
       event.preventDefault();
       const data = event.dataTransfer.getData("application/x-moz-node");

Here's how I assign draggables and drop areas:

``` window.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", () => {

   const dragArea = document.getElementById("drag_area");
   dragArea.addEventListener("dragstart", dragstart_handler);
   dragArea.addEventListener("dragover", dragover_handler);
   dragArea.addEventListener("dragleave", dragleave_handler);
   dragArea.addEventListener("drop", drop_handler);

}); ```

HTML:

```

Drag this

Dear team, I request support to search and find my data syncronized in the mozilla firefox account, which has been lost unexpectedly and I don't know where it is. I am using ubuntu LTS 22, I have uninstalled the package and made a clean install, with the reason that all my browser data disappeared overnight, as if it was its first use, my session in the firefox account and all my data disappeared. After installing the clean copy, I opened my account to synchronize my data, bookmarks and history, themes and extensions, unfortunately none of this happened, I don't know where all my private data is, which I left available to synchronize and recover again, I request a copy of them to restore them and to return the flow through the synchronization function so that they appear again, contact me at this same email. Best regards, stay connected

Youtube H264 videos stop buffering after the initial portion

Having this issue with Youtube since a few days ago, on version 115.0.2 and 115.0.3, and only for videos encoded in AVC/H264. VP9 and AV1 encoded videos have no trouble buffering, only H264 is affected. Happens with or without adblocker, and on different OS. Cookies cleared, no dice.

Video would load the first 20-40 seconds, then does not buffer at all subsequently once it reaches the end of that portion. I have to skip a few seconds forward for it to load the next 20-40 secs, then it would get stuck again.

I can get around this issue by either lowering resolution to 480p (which looks terribly unwatchable), or turn VP9 streams back on (which does not work correctly on my setup, there's a driver bug that hasn't been fixed).

The sure way, and strange thing, is that AVC/H264 videos load and buffer with absolutely no issue when I'm logged out of my account. Also, works with no issue in Chromium, even while logged in.

Anyone facing this or similar issue recently too? Is it still ongoing for you?

I am a UK user and have just installed and started to use Firefox on a brand new Linux Mint installation. As I am transferring from a Windows/Chrome environment, there is a lot of setting up to do. Firefox transferred most of the chrome info for me, and so I was able to get up and running with bookmarks and logins quite quickly. However, there is one problem that I can't seem to resolve.

I have been able to set up my credit card details, and these are prompted when needed, BUT, Firefox will not remember my name, email, phone or address. Thus for every form that I have to fill, I have to enter these details, again and again (and again).

I have looked at settings and see that the 'Autofill Address' option is not present (see attachment).

I have followed and implemented the fix proposed elsewhere, to update/add GB as an address format. This has not made a difference.

Can anyone please help.

Regards,

Mark

Firefox 115: menu and tabs background color changed

After Firefox upgraded from 114.02 to 115 menu and tabs background color changed:

FF 114: https://assets-prod.sumo.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/media/uploads/images/2023-07-05-17-00-30-1a3adf.png FF 115: https://assets-prod.sumo.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/media/uploads/images/2023-07-05-17-00-34-cba7e0.png

These are screenshots of active window. When window of v115 becomes inactive, background color changes to lighter, but still no visible horizontal line between menu and tabs. I don't use any additional themes, "System theme — auto" is selected.

From release notes for FF 115: For users with a Firefox Colorways built-in theme, the theme will be automatically migrated to the same theme hosted on addons.mozilla.org for Firefox profiles that have disabled add-ons auto-updates. This will allow users to keep their Colorways theme when they are later removed from Firefox installer files. I guess it is relevant somehow, but i never installed Colorways and don't know what is it.

How to make FF 115 look like it was in 114? I can see changes in `browser/themes/` in sources between 114.02 and 115. Is it possible to "extract" default theme from 114 and install/apply it to 115?

I use Firefox under Fluxbox window manager in Arch Linux, if it matters.

Whenever I try to open Firefox, it takes about 25 seconds to boot. This behavior can be observed both with all the extensions running and in safe mode. The link to the profiles are shared below.

With extensions: https://share.firefox.dev/3riMPQZ In safe mode: https://share.firefox.dev/3OadE31

I have been noticing this for a few months now. Firefox works just fine after wasting ~25 seconds initially. I have also reinstalled Firefox multiple times. Right after the installation, the boot-up can be very fast (less than 1 second). However, after using Firefox for a few hours, the problem comes back.

I am not well-versed in reading Firefox profiler reports. So, please help me figure out what's actually happening in those ~25 seconds.

I updated Firefox on July 1, 2023 and the dark mode stopped working. I used to be able to have all website and pages dark, I've been looking for a solution or work around with no luck. Any forum questions that I've read has all sounded like a "canned" answer with no results. The questions asked were never answered, and it's been very frustrating. I have glaucoma and have great problems looking at a white screen. Even this page is bright white and hard to read and I'm unable to change it to dark. I've been hoping to see an update solving this problem but there hasn't been one. Please send me a real resolution for this problem. Thank you

It is very frustrating that old topics are locked. They pop-up in search but then they can't be updated when they are outdated and are forever noise in the Internet.

For example this post: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1376551

It is incorrect. Now it is possible to revert to the previous useful behavior from `about:config` -> `browser.download.start_downloads_in_tmp_dir`

But I can't update neither the support thread, nor the reddit thread because both are locked. And I can't save other users from half an hour search.

I understand that many users tend to reuse threads incorrectly. But this is not much if at all harder to moderate than low quality new threads. It will be much more useful to allow editing old threads. Even if the new comment requires a moderator approval.

For example I try to post a comment, it warns me that this is an old thread and if I'm not adding an update because of product improvements, I should ask a new question. And that a moderator should approve my post.

Only then it adds to some moderator queue.

I think it is apparent from other forums and sites like the stackexchange bunch that editing old questions is often very valuable.
