Several login pages don't load correctly, completely or at all since the last update. Binance homepage doesn't load the login menu (see attachment), direct url page just shows white screen. I also had some issues with logins on my health insurance site, downloading pdf's, everything just being incredibly slow, pages getting stuck, no loading icons. I cleared my cache and cookies, and it seems the problems got worse. I'm running a VPN, turning it off didn't fix these problems. Everything works fine in Brave. I tried troubleshooting mode, but once that was started up I didn't know what to do.

Still at a loss that since the FF 112 update, I have not been able to use mouse over (hover) and highlight a Biblical scripture in the program "Instaverse". So far, the problem has not been solved. I have used this browser and Instaverse in preparing sermons for years and it worked perfectly with the FF Browser and Microsoft Word (still works perfectly with Word). I use the desktop version of Windows 10 and discovered that in order to get Instaverse to work with FF, I have to use the 32 bit version. It did not work this time. My question is "Why?"

Fix pinned tabs disappear depending on the shutdown order of your firefox windows

Long term issue of losing pinned tabs because I break a tab off the main firefox instance to work on it in a seperate window and then at some stage I close the firefox window that contains the pinned tabs AND AFTER I close the breakout tab and this seems to remember that no pinned tabs ever existed. This behaviour is idiotic and clearly buggy, certainly shouldn't be a feature or normal behaviour.

The pinned tabs feature is advertised as placing permanently some tabs that open for sure at every launch of firefox in a known location to the left - things we use just about everyday (gmail, iCloud, reddit etc), hence their permanence and it seems to be impossible to code something that if NO firefox window is opened then when we launch Firefox we get the default view of our pinned tabs and a fresh page OR default homepage etc.

Seems ridiculous to me. Whats the logic here ? I vote FOR making this a permanent feature.

Firefox used to open maximised but now opens in a half size window. I recently had an issue, following a Firefox update, of Google maps controls in the lower right corner missing. Also I could not toggle between map views. After advice from the forum I changed the "privacy.resistFingerprinting from 'false' to 'true'. This solved the Google maps problem but seems to have introduced the issue of Firefox opening in a 'half size' window. Any thoughts on what to do next, or do I live with it? Thanks - Chris

Newbie question: today I started out using Firefox, so bear with me.

I am trying to set the Firefox Home page to display a limited number of 'pins'. Did manage to get them there, but some other pins are automatically added (based on recent visits I suppose?) So I have 8 pins, 3 I don't want. When dismissing, I get other links instead.

Maybe this is by design and can not be changed.

Vainly search for a way to have only the few pins, that I want, show there, nothing else.

Thanks!

Tried this on a live site with a large image of name like something-welding-something.png

<IfModule mod_headers.c>

   <FilesMatch "welding">
       Header set Cache-Control "max-age=30, public"
   </FilesMatch>

</IfModule>

How do I prove it works? What am I doing wrong?

In Firefox enter yourdomainurl into the url box. Display webpage.

Open Firefox dev window go to network tab and filter by welding

On webpage hit <Ctrl-F5> network traffic shows image fetched from server.

Open another browser tab and look at about:cache?storage=disk Find the image and the expiry time is 30s past last modified time.

On webpage hit <Ctrl-R> network traffic shows cached. On webpage hit <Ctrl-R> nothing appears in network traffic!! On webpage hit <Ctrl-R> nothing appears in network traffic!! Wait, hit <Ctrl-R> again still But on the about:cache page the Last Modified time is now after the Expires time!

Enter some other domain (e.g. bbc.co.uk) into the url box instead of yourdomainurl.

Wait 30 seconds and then re-enter yourdomainurl (do not use back button). Network traffic for image shows cached. The expiry time now shows No expiration time.
