Hello there,

So, my issue is that some websites, only on Firefox, are logging me out as soon as I enter my mail + PW.

Those are the right ones for sure, and I tried in Troubleshoot mode to see if the issue persists, and it does.

Hence my request here, did someone encounter the same problem and managed to fix it? If you have any idea about what's worth trying, I'm all ears.

I like the pocket suggestions underneath the the search bar but cannot easily read what I type in the address bar & do not want to be forced to. FF flatly calls this better which is flat out, arrogant none sense as the font size is too small for so many & only causes eye & overall psychological strain. Must I permanently switch to google absent all pocket suggestions to achieve search & navigation in the search bar, in the middle of the page? Seriously. There does not appear to be an option to do so as before. Not allowing the option is at least arrogant & short sighted. Is there any chance FF will show more respect for its users in this respect & allow it?

How do I search from the Search Box (the box under Google" on the Google Homepage) ? Since the latest Firefox update (89.0June 2021), even though I have the cursor in the Search Box, when I type the cursor jumps to the address search box. I have tried adjusting the Firefox "search" settings, but that didn't work. I also tried changing "keyw" in "about:config" but that disabled searching in both the Search Box and the Address/Search Panel. Also tried reverting to the older version of Firefox (88.0)

I used to have Firefox set up how I like it, but now it seems I've lost that. Any ideas, please ?

When I try to connect to the site for my internet provider, I am connected to the companies site for businesses. Ii have tried my cell (OK), my laptop (OK), and Safari (OK). so it looks like FireFox has become confused about the site meant to be accessed by that URL. Suggestions on how to reteach FireFox, please.

Website with silly login form confuses username completion

Hey!

The UK Met Office (UKMO) has a General Aviation (GA) service where they publish weather charts and such: https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/services/transport/aviation/regulated/aviation-briefing-service-guidance It's a free service, anyone can create an account.

The login page, however, has a slightly odd way of collecting the username and password: https://logon.metoffice.gov.uk/Login?goto=http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/premium/myservices/

On that page, there are two <form>s, each containing an <input> element, one for the username and one for the password. The login button is just some javascript which fills in a third, hidden form and POSTs it. Once I have logged in and Firefox has offered to save the password for me (I have to tell it my username because the forms confuse this step too), it never manages to complete both forms. It only autocompletes the password.

Is it possible for Firefox to learn how to cope with this form? I suspect convincing UKMO to fix their website is unlikely, and they're probably not the only offender...

I went to update this morning when asked and then got the "profile missing" error pop up. I searched for the folder as advised but its no longer in my library folder.

Any suggestions? I really need the info in firefox and would not have even updated if i knew this was even thought of happening.

Also, tried to download and install firefox again and still get the same error..

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/68736550/2021-nearly-2022-and-browsers-still-dont-support-uploading-a-few-thousand-p

2021, nearly 2022, and browsers *still don't support* uploading a few thousand pictures in a few hundred sub-folders! :(

i met a major disappointment this week, when i found out the one PHP + HTML5 solution for uploading more than a few thousand HD and 4K pictures to a Content Management System (plupload.com tied into my own https://github.com/nicerapp/nicerapp), just doesn't work yet. in 2021.

it is one thing that we, CMS builders i mean, needed to find a component like plupload.com which allows us to upload our pictures in 1MB chunks, then recombine them on the server, and make the thumbnail after that, but to not provide us with any means at all to get the relativePath of the files being uploaded, IS AN UTTER DISGRACE, if you ask me.

the CMS building community has been complaining about this to browser makers since at least 2014(!).

see https://www.plupload.com/punbb/viewtopic.php?id=4188 for details.

see https://github.com/nicerapp/nicerapp/blob/f6998dd03015fe8e0768b346ea7147dec314e6ab/nicerapp/userInterface/photoAlbum/4.0.0/jquery_ui_widget.3.1.3.php#L114 and https://github.com/nicerapp/nicerapp/blob/f6998dd03015fe8e0768b346ea7147dec314e6ab/nicerapp/userInterface/photoAlbum/4.0.0/jquery_ui_widget.3.1.3.php#L145 for a pinpointing of the problem..

and it's now 2/3 of the way through 2021 on the way to 2022(!!)... :(

we, the builders of apps and systems that run in the browser, need a solution for this big problem as soon as possible.

how hard can it be to properly support in document.getElementById('uploader').addEventListener('drop',function(event){...}) the functions event.dataTransfer.items[i].webkitGetAsEntry().createReader() and event.dataTransfer.items[i].webkitGetAsEntry().readEntries()?

IT IS PROBABLY EASY TO FIX, WHEN GIVEN PROPER ATTENTION AND PRIORITY!

2021/08/11 : So, i don't know if this is a plupload error or a Chrome error, the problem occurs on both Kubuntu->Chrome *and* Windows10->Chrome (for uploads of a few thousand pictures in a few hundred sub-folders), but it's up to the browser makers and the makers of plupload to fix it, as CMS builders simply do not have the means to produce a fix, let alone distribute that fix.

And one more thing : it is another disgrace that non-webkit browsers don't support the relativePath functionality at all.

THIS MUST BE FIXED, AND SOON TOO PLEASE!

i'll now post a link to this post on the various browser makers' support forums, and list those links in a comment to this post at stackoverflow.

My desktop browser updated to 91.0 yesterday (08/16/21) and ever since then, pages on multiple website are looking weird. Gmail is missing dividers for new messages and any sort of rounded corner is just no there. YouTube button on videos have a semi-transparent white fill. Some sites, I'm unable to see buttons at all. Twiiter looks all kinds of weird. I was using the dark theme, which I've tried turning on and off (and have also tried going back to the default) but it hasn't made any difference. I've also updated today to 91.0.1, but see no change. Any thoughts to what could be causing this?

Thx K
