As the title says -- I can no longer save images or download files without Firefox locking up. Whenever I do, the window grays out, the cursor's "busy" animation starts up, any videos playing in Firefox at the time grind to a halt, and I have no choice but to close Firefox when the "This program is awaiting a response from you" error message pops up. Whatever I'm trying to save will get saved to my computer, but Firefox always freezes up.

I've tried updating Firefox, resetting Firefox, restarting my computer, clearing my download history, changing the download folder, running troubleshooting mode and a private window. I even tried downgrading from 137.0.2 (64-bit) to version 136.0 out of desperation, and even that didn't solve it. I'm running Windows 11 Home, and this problem has only started happening in the last few weeks.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I'm trying to setup a new laptop and when I try to log in I enter my password, I get my email with my 2 factor code, enter it and then it kicks me back to the password screen saying "Incorrect password" . I've reset the password a few times and still get the same behavior. Am I only allowed to have 1 device logged in at once? I know in the past I was able to have multiple computers logged in.

Color depth of display is incorrectly identified as 24-bit (color depth is visibly affected)

Hi all,

I would like to know if this color issue is expected behavior or a bug somewhere on my system.

I am using a monitor (Acer ET322QK wmiipx) which displays color at a depth of 10 bits per channel (for a total of 30-bit color depth). When viewing images which have color depth exceeding 8 bits per channel, color banding is visible in Firefox that does not appear in GNOME Image Viewer, indicating that the image is not being displayed at the correct color depth. I've attached an image with 16 bits per channel color depth as an example. This sphere render is deliberately dim to make color banding more obvious. It should look smooth/unbanded on a display with support for colors with greater than 8 bits per channel.

By opening the Firefox console with Ctrl+Shift+K and entering "screen.colorDepth", I have confirmed that the display is identified by Firefox as having 24-bit color depth.

Firefox keeps locking up, for want of a better description. It will minimize itself, and when I go to click on it, it will not open/maximimize or let me use it. It then also won't allow itself to be closed (by using the only option available, the x on the taskbar icon). I end up having to restart my computer to get it to go away and then work properly (for a little while) when I restart. Firefox used to be my favorite browser, but I'm getting really frustrated. It's updated and still won't work properly. Help. Please.

Help me return to correct settings in Firefox so I can enjoy playing "June's Journey" and "Pearl's Peril"(which isn't opening). As I explained in my question, there's a wide band across top of "JJ" game which appeared, as well.

 About one week ago, I was trying to re-set use of my debit card, was unable to as I'd probably severely cancelled it 6 months ago. I don't have a clue as to what the connection between these two activities have to do with each other but it's all I have to go on.

Thank you for any help! I've asked Wooga to give me some steps; I tried following them but Pearl Problems continue to plague me.

Hi there, I'm trying to upload a new version of my browser extension (version 1.4.5), but the submission is being blocked due to a version number conflict. The issue is that I accidentally submitted a different extension under this listing with version 1.7.7. I reverted it immediately, but now I'm unable to upload the correct version (1.4.5) because it's considered a downgrade.

I really don't want to change my extension’s versioning just to get around this, since 1.4.5 is the actual next version in my release cycle. At the same time, I don’t want to stop updating the extension on the Mozilla Add-ons store. Is there a way to resolve this?
