hi everyone, first of all, happy new year.

while browsing reddit, i keep seeing these strange underlined empty links on random words/names. for example this comment here: https://www.reddit.com/r/moviecritic/comments/1hpse0f/comment/m4jxdwq/ shows the name of actress underlined.

i disabled all my extensions and the problem persisted. i checked using chrome and the problem didn't exist.

on inspect element i found something called faceplate-tracker though.

any clue what is this? and how to deal with it?

Hi I’ve been searching online relentlessly for a solution to a problem I’m encountering with Firefox. The font it uses for Persian language is extremely difficult to read. Consequently, I’ve switched to Safari, which offers a significantly better font for Persian.

Firefox also encounters an issue with hashtags on Twitter. The hashtagged words appear in the same font as Safari, while the rest of the tweet is displayed in the default Firefox font.

I’d really appreciate it if you could help me fix this. I’d also like to know which font Safari uses for Persian language.

Thanks.

I have a need t view courthouse records in AZ. The Cort Website tells be to go to (In Win 10) Settings then Compatibility View settings. hat must be old information as pertaining to win 10, because my win 10 has nothing even hinting a similarity with that. So, since it's about web viewing the next place I looked on Firefox and again nothing like that. Any suggestions?

Suddenly Firefox is downloading my downloads to google drive. Why? I want them in my download directory, but changing the options in Settings/General/Download makes no difference. It is set to ask where a file should go, but does not. It is set to ask whether to open or save a file and it does not!

How can I get google drive out of this and save them to my desktop again?

Shouldn't SAVED Payment Methods have a "Nickname" so we can know which one to use? I have a few cards I manage and use to buy for myself, my wife, and my daughter. There are too many for me to remember which of the accounts is for whom.

A simple nickname would add great ease of use!

The setting "Open links in tabs instead of new windows" and middlemouse.openNewWindow in about:config will not fix this issue: when using middle mouse on the bookmarks in the bookmarks bar, it will automatically switch the foreground tab to the new opened bookmark which is not great. The combination of the previously 2 mentioned settings will allow hyperlinks and such to work fine, but not on bookmarks. this makes it tedious when I wanna just have something ready in the background.

Following a recent update of my bios (AMD Ryzen) of my PC the on-board sound system failed. I chased down the issue, got a sound card to circumvent the on-board circuits, and had sound once again but for my FireFox (Ver 133.0.3, on Windows 11 Home, Ver 10.0.22631 Build 22631). Testing with alternate browsers (Edge, Opera) the sound works, as do my downloaded games and music but no joy with FireFox.

My question: Is this a known issue being addressed for a future update or are my circumstances an outlier issue?

On some websites, namely GMX, the UK Guardian newspaper, Etsy and PatientAccess (there may be others), I cannot sign in using my login details. If I switch to Edge, using the same details, with the same laptop, my login works immediately. This also happens with a second laptop. I have tried clearing cache and cookies, but to no avail. Is there any setting I can change to allow me to sign in or do you have to fix your browser.

The version of Firefox is 133.0. Since installation, I have not changed any Firefox settings.

Best regards

I now have a visible sidebar, after installing the latest update. The 'help' section says to click on the 'settings' icon in the sidebar. I have no buttons, at all, in the sidebar. It is blank white. How do I remove this thing?
