Firefox Community Forum

Starting just yesterday, and I have no clue what caused this to happen in the first place, my entire firefox browser, so tabs, toolbar, everything, is no longer functioning properly with the windows scale display settings I have anymore. For example, I have 2 monitors, one is a 1920x1080 monitor with 100% scaling applied, and the other one (my main monitor) is a 2560x1440 monitor with 125% scaling applied. I have the scaling settings applied like this because the normal resolution for 2k monitors is too small for me to read anything, so scaling it up by 125% makes the browser about identical on both monitors. It used to automatically scale the firefox browser to the monitor whenever I dragged them to the other monitor, but now the firefox just stays at 125% zoom no matter what monitor I swap it to (this is windows scaling zoom, not firefox tab zoom). So on my 2k monitor, it looks fine, but on my 1920x1080 monitor, it still retains the 125% zoom from my other monitor, making it way over zoomed. I've tried changing layout.css.devPixelsPerPx but that just makes the browser scaling static across monitors, so I've since swapped it back to -1.0

Is there any way I can fix this? the difference in scaling between the monitors is way too massive to be able to use firefox comfortably. Attached I have two screenshots showing the difference in scaling.

Somehow handwriting stopped working with Firefox on my Surface 9... I don't know what is the issue, because with Edge and Chrome it still functions. Only Firefox I have to use the keyboard again, which is very annoying...

Hello. I should use proxy to visit some websites. I do not want open Preferences each time. Also I need list to exclude website which should be without proxy anyway.

How to do this?

Got a bit of an issue. There seems to be a change to functionality of Mozilla's Firefox browser and its affected one of my extensions; Lastpass.

Previously, clicking the jigsaw icon for extensions would show extensions such as Lastpass. If I click this now, it takes me to the extensions page for managing extensions.

I had previously had lastpass installed. But it seemed to disappear without me uninstalling it. This isn't the first time where there has been an update to Firefox and the plugin extensions has been broken so I downloaded the Lastpass extension and installed it again. It now appears in my extensions page. However, there doesnt appear to be any way for me to access it. Log into to it. Nor do websites get the autofill I would expect from Lastpass. So I have no access to its functionality.

I cant seem to find a way to get around this.

I feel that the extension icon (jigsaw icon) has now had its navigation changed during an update where it no longer points to where it should when you click it.

To access Lastpass, I can log in through the Lastpass website but this fiddly and time consuming. Can anyone suggest how I can get The Lastpass icon to appear in the top right of the window or to get it as an option that would drop down where I would normally expect it; by clicking the extension icon in the top right?

Clicking it is currently taking me to the "Personalise Your Firefox" page in the main browser window.

Thanks

After a fresh install of windows and Firefox, I logged into my account as normal on my PC browser and lost all of my passwords, bookmarks, settings, and everything else when I synced it to Firefox on my iPhone. It's as if my account was reset. There was multiple years of data saved there. Is there a fix to this?

I am using WIN10 and want to use my Firefox to open a pdf file and extract the text to input into a word processor. I saw a youtube video on it but it didn't work for me.

If I am using Sync and I want to delete a bookmark from "Manage Bookmarks" say, doe that book mark get deleted from the synced database on the Mozilla server? And if so, does it then get deleted from my other synced devices like Firefox for Android on my mobile next time I used Firefox on my phone?

hi totally blind and using a screen reader jaws for windows from http://www.freedomscientific.com and a member of blind information technology specialists and trying to login into my bits-acb.org account, ahve the correct user email and apsswrod, but keeps telling me that the password is incorrect. they use a word press site and word press login site. so can you help, a firefox bug and got firefox 129 on a hp pavillion laptop running windows 11 latest update and firefox 129 latest update, so this is a bug. can the support people fix this. frustrating, and then after about 10 tries then get locked out for 24 hours.

Frequently, I notice on Youtube the UI just freezes entirely for ~1-5 seconds, usually periodically. I've measured it most recently around every 10 seconds or so (manual stopwatch in another tab, so a little faster or slower possible).

When in this state, I can often notice it frequently: on hovering over buttons the UI does not highlight them, the video controls will not appear, or the page will not fill the screen on resize, can't click into search, etc. Basically just full page freeze except for media playback.

It's disappeared and come back a few times, but tends to be more often there than not. This occurs on every page of Youtube. I've tried disabling basically all my extensions and refreshing the page without any change.

I've also captured a performance profile while I was moving around between buttons and observing the issue, as I assume it might help diagnose: https://share.firefox.dev/3Xqz7co

I am on Windows 11. I use a Vodafone network. Most of the time I anable to access the internet. Sometimes I can, sometimes I can't. I do not use a proxy. I am totally frustrated. When I go to settings/networks it tells me that all is OK and I am connected.

Firefox I have been using for years on my pc, and all has been fine, until a couple of days ago i tried to uploads a thumbnail to youtube and it just hangs, it works on other browsers, also uploading a video, again no progress at all it just hangs at 0% uploaded. Ive tried everything and no change, ive changed nothing, one day it worked and then it stopped. I upload videos everyday so this needs to be working for me, or I need a new browser asap as this is my business. I cannot find anything about this error online. v 129.02 (64 bit). Please advise.

We require disabling password sync at org-level by deploying changes in registry or Group Policy. Currently we do not see any option to disable password sync except at browser level which leaves the user in control. However as IT and security admins, we would like to implement this as a global policy so corporate portal passwords are not synced to unmanaged devices. Please suggest a solution.
