I want to protect my desk top using Mozilla VPN, but, rarely connect my mobile phone to the net so would rather not have to scan a QR code nor download the app through google play store. Please tell me how to subscribe to and install Mozilla VPN using only a desk top.

The latest update has apparently forced its way into my desktop and now the icons on my home page bounce every time the cursor scrolls over them. This is indescribably annoying and distracting, like a fly landing on the screen over and over, and one of the reasons why I avoid avoid avoid any i-product forever eternally unto the death. How do I make the icons stop bouncing? Thanks P

Half way through the world cup and have yet to be able to find the world cup widgets, despite following all the advice on here. It doesn't show up on the start page or on the settings:home page Am I missing something?

In Windows 10, FIREFOX is preventing the proper operation of the Windows 10 feature called MOUSE KEYS when FIREFOX is operating. MOUSE KEYS is a very important capability to individuals with certain disabilities.

MOUSE KEYS enables the use of the numbered keys on the NUMERIC KEYPAD to be used to move the cursor around when the NUM LOCK key is turned ON, as a substitute for using a mouse. Does Mozilla have a way to prevent FIREFOX from defeating this MOUSE KEYS feature?

Google AI indicated that there is a solution specifically for FIREFOX. That capability is built into FIREFOX and begins by using "about:config" to reset a parameter named "permissions.default.shortcuts" from either "0" or "1" to "2". I successfully implemented the steps in this solution by changing that value from its default value of "0" in my computer system, to "2", but no change resulted. MOUSE KEYS continued to malfunction in the same way.

After exhaustive testing looking for a pattern, I finally found one. The malfunction appears to be the following: With the MOUSE KEYS feature activated in the WINDOWS 10 set up, and with NUM LOCK turned ON to assure that this function is ON, each of the numeric keys, 0 through 9 on the keypad, cycles through the different MOUSE KEYS functions of all ten of these keys, in ascending order by their number. For example, if you press key 7 for ten times in a row, it will cycle through each of the ten MOUSE KEYS functions associated with the keys 0-9 to occur, returning on the tenth press to the function that was executed the first time that key 7 was pressed, and so one endlessly through multiple cycles. And similarly for each of the other ten numbered keys.

A similar type of malfunction of MOUSE KEYS occurs with any BROWSER program that I have tried, including GOOGLE CHROME and BRAVE. I gather from GOOGLE AI that browser programs INTERCEPT the codes generated by the numeric keys on the numeric key pad and change those codes before sending the codes to the WINDOWS 10 operating system, and thus to MOUSE KEYS, for execution, causing this problem.

Is there a solution for FIREFOX what will restore the proper function of the MOUSE KEYS feature of Windows 10, when FIREFOX is being used? Thank you for any help that you can provide.

the web page will show a currently typing cursor, the little blinking line on typing stuff, if i misclick lets say on an amazon product page it will just appear. its like the code has changed to make every screen/tab/window/page a word document and i dont know how it happened, how to fix it and what all it even is so help would be massively appreciated, thank you. sorry about the typing and commas thigny idk what is called in english as english is no my first langwige

High contrast setting only support 2 colors(unvisited links and visited links) as a consequence it does not support radio buttons(switches that move to left and right to turn on features). the buttons are invisible and waste hours of the users time.

Using mouse to click at start of material to copy (word, words, sentence, paragraph etc.) then holding mouse clicker down and drag across desired text to copy shows no effect. No color change. No shading. If I assume invisible highlight to copy (Command "C") then paste using Command "V". No paste.

Safari and Google Chrome highlight work well.

Firefox used to allow Highlight until recent update.

Hi,

On MacOS, in order to set keyboard shortcut, I need to know the exact name for the feature. But I can't find tab navigations in Firefox's menu.

For example, in Chrome, they have a menu called "Tab" and there is "Select Next Tab" and "Select Previous Tab" in the menu. That are the names I need to set keyboard shortcut. But I can't find the equivalent in Firefox.

From the screenshot, the keyboard shortcut works for Chrome, but not working for Firefox as I don't have the exact name for tab navigation.

I cannot open the find on page toolbar. No matter if I use the ctr+f shortcut or click "find on page" in the menu, the toolbar with the text field doesn't come up. I checked and the shortcut works fine in other apps. I tried restarting firefox in the troubleshoot mode - the problem persists. I'm on the latest version of Firefox (138.0.1) and running Windows 11.

Upgraded to 139.0.1 and enabled new search bar, which wasn't appearing without toggling browser.urlbar.scotchBonnet.enableOverride to true. However, the bar seems critically hindered by lack of keyboard accessibility. Two things in particular:

1) when quick actions appear (e.g., Clear recent history), I cannot figure out how to navigate to it with the keyboard. Down-arrowing simply skips over it.

2) I don't seem to be able to select which search engine to use. On Mac, Option+up/down used to select search engines with the old address bar, but no key combination seems to move through or activate the drop-down menu of search engine choices.

The page introducing the feature doesn't seem to explain how to use it with keyboard at all. (https://blog.mozilla.org/en/firefox/address-bar/?utm_source=www.mozilla.org)

the latest update 136.0.3 is broken. When right-clicking an item, none of the choices work (e.g. right-clicking on any word brings up a menu with 'open in new tab' as a choice, but nothing happens)
