Do you plan to include the support in the near or far future?

Thanks for the great job!

Whenever I hover on a tab, a small pop-up immediately appears with the name of the tab and its website address. Sometimes this box is above the tab (and extending above the top edge of the window) and sometimes below it. This behavior started recently with no action on my part. How can I stop this annoyance?

I have a problem on the aliexpress website. (in other browsers everything works fine) When I open tabs with goods on aliexpress. and start switching between them, then at the moment of switching to another tab, my previous tab itself is updated and opens the main page. And there is no way to even press the “Back” button. The browser seems to reload the page completely. The chatgpt was unable to find a solution. All hope is on you. There are no errors. It's just that the aliexpress page reloads by itself when I switch to any other tab.

Hello everybody, I am using Firefox/Zen Browser in Linux and having an issue which bothers me a lot.

I am using Firefox for PDF viewing and was not having this issue in Windows. I don't know why, Firefox changes locations of PDF every time with something temporary rather than it's original place and it makes impossible to see them without reopening it via clicking. Is there any possible solution for it? I am having this issue both in Firefox and Zen.

For the love of God. Effective yesterday, why can I no longer open a new tab in Firefox browser on a Windows laptop? Is this a bug or was it an intentional update to delete the visible 'open a new browser' plus (+) icon, and make it elusive, frustrating, and impossible to open a new tab? I found a workaround (right click and select the new "New Tab to Right" option from the list of drop down options), but this circumvention is mindboggling and inefficient at best. Please help. One of the things I have loved about the Mozilla organization for the last nearly 20 years of using Firefox has been the organization's dedication to make internet browsing simple and safe for users. Replacing the 1 step 'open a new browser' plus (+) icon with a 3 step right click move is the opposite of simple. Please troubleshoot.

Container tabs not confirming any more

I have been using container tabs to juggle my corporate and personal github accounts. Until very recently, clicking a link from another app (email, etc) would start to open a new tab and then pop up a dialog asking me to confirm which container to use (see first attachment).

Unfortunately, now when I click on links it just loads straight to my "OSS github" container, which naturally produces a 404 error because my personal github account doesn't have access to the corporate repo (see second attachment).

At first, I thought I had accidentally clicked the "remember my decision" box. But the confirmation dialog still works if I open a new tab and paste the link in the address bar. It just doesn't work when other apps try to open a link in Firefox.

Is the new behavior intentional? Or did something accidentally break?

WSJ did some sort of update and now things are broken in the regula browser. I've tried disabling all my extensions, putting multiple sites on the cookies exceptions list and turning off protection in regular mode and it does not work. Private Browsing works out of the box no issues.

The main way to know if you have issues is do you see the stock ticker near the top of the webpage, your name with account info, and some drop down windows. The Live Update sub-websites are broken. I think WSJ on some sites like those thinks I'm not logged in or can't verify I'm logged in.

Its weird. I've had similar things on FireFox before, what is regular mode doing? Why does Private browsing work? Can I somehow "force" the same settings in a regular windows on a per Website basis? This doesn't seem possible at this point.

Hello,

There has been an upgrade of Firefox ESR to version 128.3 on Debian 12 bookworm.

Before the update, I could play videos, now I can't.

I precise I can play videos on Chromium, or with the video players.

I have libavcodec58, libavcodec-extra59, ffmpeg 5.1.6 packages installed.

There is an error in the console: Media resource xxx.webm could not be decoded. Specified “type” attribute of “video/mp4” is not supported. Load of media resource xxx.mp4 failed.

This command seems to indicate the session is X11 and not Wayland: ``` loginctl show-session 1 -p Type Type=x11 ```

I've noticed recently that some Unicode characters are not rendering properly on some websites. Specifically the Unicode characters for Mathematical Bold Capitals, though there may be others. I've noticed this issue on Twitch and GitHub. Screenshots for the repository sainnhe/everforest are attached along with the Inspector. Notice the characters do not appear properly on the webpage but are rendered just fine in Inspector. I also attached the screenshot for Unicode Mathematical Bold Capital E.

I am running Firefox version 132.0 on macOS Sequoia 15.0.1. The problem remains in Troubleshoot Mode. The problem does not appear in Chrome or Safari. The problem does not appear on my iPhone or Android tablet.

In posts with similar issues I've seen the suggestion to toggle "Allow pages to choose their own fonts", the issue does not respond to changing this setting (it is on in all the screenshots).

Hi there, since yesterday I'm dealing with numerous functionality issues when I use Mozilla Firefox on my laptop. I've noticed that the last update was on 29/10/2024, so that could be the problem. The problem is that when I browse the tabs are crashing and that happens almost every time I browse after a few minutes (sometimes seconds) and it happens with many different web sites. Since mozilla is the browser that I use most this is making my life real difficult. Thank you in advance, Sotiris
