I noticed that the status bar on firefox shows the same text as the on-page text. It doesn't render the unicode url in full. I tried finding a bug describing this, but couldn't find one.
Sample URL:

I used to be able to press Enter in the empty Firefox search bar to bring up the (DuckDuckGo) search page and enter my search from there. Don't ask me why I like doing that, but now after the latest Firefox update, 128.0, on my MacBook Air I can't do that anymore. I have to type in the search bar to bring up the search page.
I know it's a small thing but I wonder if it can be put back to the way it used to be.

Today, Firefox stopped playing audio on Facebook videos and won't play Netflix videos at all (Netflix error code: F7701-1003). Youtube works fine and has audio, but several other video sites I've tried have video but no audio. It was all working fine yesterday and I haven't changed any settings.
These websites work fine with both audio and sound on Microsoft Edge on the same laptop, so this is a problem exclusive to Firefox. OS is Windows 11 Home 23H2, Firefox is latest version (129.0.2)
Things I've tried: 1. Refresh Firefox settings 2. Download and install fresh copy of Firefox 3. Toggle DRM content in setting on/off - no difference no matter what is selected 4. Ensure that 'remember history' is selected 5. Check for Windows updates 6. Uninstall audio driver, restart and fresh install of audio driver 7. Ensure it's not in private mode 8. Turn off all extensions 9. Check volume mixer allows sound for Firefox 10. Clear the cache and cookies
I can't find any more suggestions on the internet, so any further suggestions welcome!

Hello, I did everything mentioned in support articles, but the tabs on firefox are still crashing frequently, sometimes the first I open, sometimes it's the third... But it is making my work really difficult. Here are IDs of some of the crash reports (i found that I should post them here to get help) bp-1362556a-479e-4d29-8d25-24d060240827 bp-f743f721-6668-44af-a590-f058d0240827 bp-abbc2e52-a121-41f2-9275-d73e60240827 bp-74137ee7-cfe7-4362-a450-567500240827 bp-ca2327bf-99b5-4f2d-9e08-42dd00240719

Firefox 129.0.2 (64-bit) Mozilla Firefox Snap for Ubuntu canonical-002 - 1.0
Running on kubuntu Linux 24.04, kernel version 6.8.0-41-generic (64-bit) KDE Plasma Version 5.27.11 Qt Version 5.15.13
I've posted a description of my problem on the kubuntu forums: https://www.kubuntuforums.net/forum/newbie-support/help-the-new-guy/681835-firefox-eating-up-a-lot-of-cpu
Here is a synopsis of my posts on that thread to distill the most noteworthy symptoms:
I have snap Firefox installed.
$ snap list Name Version Rev Tracking Publisher Notes bare 1.0 5 latest/stable canonical✓ base core22 20240731 1564 latest/stable canonical✓ base firefox 129.0.2-1 4793 latest/stable mozilla✓ - firmware-updater 0+git.5007558 127 latest/stable/… canonical✓ - gnome-42-2204 0+git.510a601 176 latest/stable/… canonical✓ - gtk-common-themes 0.1-81-g442e511 1535 latest/stable/… canonical✓ - snapd 2.63 21759 latest/stable canonical✓ snapd thunderbird 128.1.0esr-1 507 latest/stable/… canonical✓ - $
If I start firefox from the shell command line, it runs fine. It runs the shell script in /usr/bin/firefox, which ultimately executes /snap/bin/firefox. Clearly that shell script is doing some configuration that I don't understand.
If I hit Alt-space I see the menu in the referenced screen grab (see attached).
If I select the first entry, to run firefox from the command line, it has the same effect as starting /usr/bin/firefox from a bash shell; it works fine. However, if I select the third entry, firefox does not play any video; I've mostly tested with YouTube videos that have actual video and audio.
I'm not sure what gets executed when I select the third option from the Alt-space menu. It appears from doing a "ps -ef" that it's the same /snap/firefox/... executable. But I'm wondering why is this entry in the Alt-space menu and how does it get initialized or 'configured' to run.
Additionally, if I do start firefox from the entry with the firefox browser icon, and it fails to play video, I must then uninstall firefox using snap and then reinstall in order to get video playback to work. That is, after a failed start, simply exiting firefox and restarting it from the shell command line will not work; firefox will not play video correctly at all.
I also noticed that on my PC desktop, "snap list" lists firefox as "firefox 129.0.2-1 4793 latest/stable mozilla✓ -"
But on my old Lenova laptop running the same kubuntu version, "snap list" lists firefox as "firefox 129.0.2-1 4757 latest/stable mozilla✓ -"
I'm up to date on both systems via "sudo apt update"' and "sudo apt upgrade"
Even more frustrating, today, for the first time, despite starting firefox from the command line, video still didn't play. I had to uninstall firefox and reinstall it.

I have encountered PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR for the last few days. All websites cannot be accessed. I tried to uninstall/reinstall Firefox several time and nothing works. My system is Windows 11 Home, Version 22H2, Installed on 2/7/2023, OS build 22621.4037. Kaspersky Anti Virus is 21.3.10.319(m).

For the last 2 weeks I started having problems with Firefox working consistently. Sometimes only tabs crash, sometimes Firefox crashes. It is not tied to any actions, a tab can crash even if you don't perform any actions in the browser. I have tried clean install on Fedora and Vanilla OS, native and Flatpak packages. The result is always the same - tabs or Firefox crashes every few minutes.

Ever since I downloaded and started using Firefox I have had issues with the display of the fonts - I tried several options that fix the issue for a very short time.. and then next thing I know I get reverted back to the unreadable display.

Thank you for your kind assistance.

P.S. when I started in troubleshooting mode the fonts are great.. and it works fine.

Hi folks
Until about two or three days ago the www.bt.com website opened as usual, with first of all its cookie panel taking over the screen asking whether to accept cookies or manage cookies, and after handling that the site was perfectly usable.
As of two or three days now the cookie panel does not come up NOT AT ALL [but see also the last part of this message], and the screen is lightly-greyed-out. The screen scrolls but nothing at all is clickable.
However, in Chrome and Edge the site opens and works as expected.
The site also opens on the iPhone using both Safari and Firefox and works as expected.
It is just FF on my W10x64 Desktop where I have the unclickable lightly-greyed-out screen problem.
Perhaps something has chaged in FF, so I went into Settings-Privacy & Security- and then did the following:-
After all of this - no change; the www.bt.com screen is still in a lightly-greyed-out and unclickble, but still scrolls, however, after taking the above bulleted steps, the cookie panel now momentairily only flickers onto the screen and then disappears, and, sadly, the screen remains lightly-greyed-out and unusable.
Am I missing some sort of blocker for this website?
All other websites work on the Desktop PCs FF as expected. It is just this www.bt.com website that is the issue.
I have spent 30 mins with a BT Support Agent on the phone and we both agree that as Chrome, Edge and Safari are all fine it must be an issue with the Desktop version of FF.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks.

on PC A, firefox just lost all open tabs (even pinned ones), history (for this device only thank gods), open windows.
I installed a windows yesterday on a different PC (lets call it B), and logged in with the same microsoft account PC A uses. Then installed firefox and logged in to sync (on PC B).
Did that somehow overwrite the profile? Even though it was a different PC?
