I pay Aura to monitor all my activity and accounts and save my passwords. The extension is there, but there is no longer a shortcut. There was previous to your last update. I can find nowhere in manage extensions to change this. If I cannot have this extension shortcut, then I will no longer be able to have Firefox as my home screen. I would appreciate it very much if you could help me out with this issue.

When working on Linkedin main page I continually have a problem with a Linkedin function that allows you to view a person on the LinkedIn Recruiter site (if you have an account). There is a button on the profile called "View in Recruiter" that when selected, launches a new tab that opens linkedin Recruiter to view that person. When I use in Firefox, it works maybe 10% of the time. It is a HUGE impact on my productivity. Are there incompatibility issues with LinkedIn?

When "View in Recruiter" is selected, Firefox opens a new tab that says "about:blank" and the page will not launch. How do I resolve this?

Whenever I take a screenshot in Windows 10 with HDR on, on the latest version of Firefox, using either print screen, snipping tool, or Snip and Sketch, Firefox will wash out like the image provided. Nothing else washes out like this when taking screenshots with these tools, and will appear the proper color.

I recently started getting warnings on YouTube saying that I have an ad blocker running and that violates their terms of service. I've run into a few other sites that won't load at all, and also tell me to turn off my ad blocker.

I have not installed any ad blocker and I don't see anything at all listed under add-ons. Can anyone tell me how to identify whatever is causing this?

I tried the MS Edge browser as a comparison and the same thing happens there.

Thanks.

In the last few days, I´ve noticed that even when I don´t have Firefox (my default browser) open, if I open an application, such as MS Word or Viber a Firefox browser opens: "https://mmrtb.com/bonus/com-eu-1-9831/pt-lp1.php?c=4qz1i3cjz62z1&k=44054a8f2a8266ec8cbf5c4400bbcb38&country_code=PT&carrier=NOS&country_name=Portugal&region=Aveiro&city=Oliveira%20De%20Azemeis&isp=Nos%20Comunicacoes,%20S.A.&lang=en&os=Windows%2010&osv=&browser=Firefox&browserv=133&brand=Desktop&model=Desktop&marketing_name=Desktop&tablet=4&rheight=768&rwidth=768&e=5"

I´ve checked everything I can think of, including Temp files, browser cache. I´ve even scanned the registry and all open processes. I´ve also installed another Malware scanner / eliminator, and no spyware or viruses are found. I cannot find anything. What is coming up is something that looks like a raffle or lottery for my ISP, but that doesn´t exist. if I cut and paste the url into a different browser, it takes me to adds for adult websites.

I´ve installed a site blocker as a Firefox browser extension, but I´m still getting the window pop up. I´ve attached a screen shot of what I get now that I´m blocking it. Once I close it, it still randomly loads again.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Possible DNS over HTTPS Issue, Looing for solution

I’m facing an issue with my website https://emiratesappliances.com/ when loading it on the Firefox browser. The site works perfectly fine on other browsers like Chrome and Edge, but on Firefox, it often fails to load or loads with delays.

Upon researching, I suspect this might be related to DNS over HTTPS (DoH) settings, as the issue started after enabling DoH in Firefox. My website uses HTTPS and is configured with standard DNS settings.

Here are the details:

Website URL: https://emiratesappliances.com/ Firefox Version: (mention your Firefox version, e.g., 118.0) Operating System: (mention your OS, e.g., Windows 11) Troubleshooting steps I’ve tried:

Disabled DNS over HTTPS, and the website started working. Cleared cache and cookies, but it didn’t resolve the issue. Tested the website on a private window, but the problem persists.

It seems Firefox has trouble resolving the DNS for my site when DoH is enabled. Could you please guide me on how to resolve this issue permanently?

This is something I've noticed in the last couple of mouths...

Initially everything on Firefox runs fine for the first 1-3 hours, but after that the multiple YouTube website video tabs I generally have open, especially the very last YouTube website video tab that's open, or any new YouTube website video tab I open, starts to lag like crazy.

Using my mouse to click the play/pause on the video player, or pressing the play/pause function key or spacebar on my keyboard, takes a good 3 or 4 seconds before the input action is registered, and it's not just that but the entire UI of the web page itself is slowed down.

Doing simple things like clicking on-screen buttons to navigate, and scrolling down to load comments, or scrolling down to load other video thumbnails etc etc, takes a good few seconds to actually work.

In general the YouTube tab(s) become very slow and unresponsive, and it's not just the video player on the tabs - it's the YouTube website in general that is affected.

I don't see a substantial difference in CPU or RAM in Task Manager when these 'slow downs' occur, but the fan speeds inside my mini PC do spin louder and louder.

For whatever reason this problem ONLY happens with YouTube. Other websites via other tabs tend to run and function just fine 24/7.

I'm running the latest 133.0.3 version of Firefox, and my system specs are as follows:

Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10700T CPU @ 2.00GHz Storage: 595.2 GB Installed RAM: 16 GB (15.7 GB usable)

Other people have also reported similar things over on Reddit with regards to Firefox and YouTube.

After the upgrade to 133.0.3, I get, on very numerous sites, the error 'Echec de la connexion sécurisée' with (usually but not only) the detail : PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR'. This even occurs when trying to connect to sites which are assumed to give a correction for this problem :-(. I need a correction or a way to go backwards to previous version. Thanks P.S. I have not found any hint about this in the forum.

I can not access duck duck go from the firefox web browser version 133.0.3 either by typing it as an address in the bar nor by using it as the default search engine in settings. Google and you tube are blocked on our network by a firewall. Duck Duck go used to work, but at some point stopped. This is on mulptiple PC's and Chromebooks.

I see the following sites show up on the firewall's blocked list when I startup Firefox Desktop: (See Attached photo)

When I type in www.duckduckgo.com on the address bar I get a "server not found" error. If I search for any search query in the address bar with duck duck go set as the default search engine, I get a server not found error.

I can use an apple phone device with safari browser and cell data turned off to access duck duck go's website and complete searches while connected to our network.

I can browse yahoo.com and complete searches with no problem.
