Apparently there's a new PDF feature that shows up on the right in a sub-window whenever I try to view a PDF. "Now you can highlight your PDFs!" it screams. Unfortunately I can't use it nor can I get rid of all the "real estate" that it takes up. I'm using a fully-updated FF browser on an ASUS E410 with Win11 H23. I've tried every possible option to change the FF magnification or my screen size. NOTHING WORKS. Before this thing intruded my space for viewing PDFs or changing PDF forms, everything was fine. Now I am forced to find another solution See attached.

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 ```

Increasingly, Firefox will not process routine actions, for example like signing in to a website with a password, and I have to use a different browser (Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge) to accomplish the task. There are other routine actions causing problems as well, but the bottom line is Firefox is losing its functionality and it is forcing me to use other browsers. I am sure you don't want to lose users in the browser wars, so maybe you will take this particular concern seriously, and actually respond to me so I know you are actually out there and taking complaints about Firefox browser performance with the appropriate concern and action regarding this issue.

New browser opens everytime i click on a link.

Since several days I have problems in using my mail-account at web.de The website starts and I can log in. But then my mails don't open up like they should. I called web.de and they said I shoud use another browser. And really when I use Microsoft Edge it is much better. I would like to use Firefox on my desktop further on. Could you give me a hint?

Hi Guys, I have been experiencing an issue for the past week where I get a blank white screen when trying to log into Outlook using Firefox. I can access my Outlook account without any problems on my iPhone and in the Brave browser, but Firefox just won't work it gives blank screen. Has anyone else encountered this problem? What could be causing it, and how can I fix it to prevent it from happening again?

In the past 2 months it has happened around 5 to 6 times. I have around 10 Gmail accounts logged in and randomly my accounts get logged out without me doing anything.

Is it normal, is there an explanation behind this?

Hello, its not really a question to ask in the community is more a bug in the software system which is firefox,

The bug is after the last update, its october 8 2024 right now so figure wat the last update was, I noticed a big amounts of bugs with looking at videos, they always tend to pause randomly or dont play from the beggining, i promise you its not a problem on my end which i tested by finding that restarting the browser when i encounter the problem can fix the issue temporarly, so when i look at videos i mean - Youtube, twitch, instagram stories. it started with the new update i promise, please check it out.

I wish you a great day, thank you for paying attention.🙂‼

Normally when i open firefox it open on the same tab/application image on my taskbar. however today it opened on a different tab/application image on my taskbar. i found this odd as this happened when i used chrome as well, when i used my secondary account it opened a new chrome tab/application. im just wondering if this is normal or has happened to anyone else, as when it opened the new taskbar widget my pinned tabs where also gone.

Since updating Firefox today and setting my profile as the default (since the update required me to make a backup) I haven't been able to click tabs. I can make new tabs and open link in new tabs, but i cannot click from the main tab that opens when firefox opens to any other tabs, ctrl + 2 also doesn't work. I can't even open settings because it automatically opens it in a new tab.

It looks like they are loading correctly, since i can see the mini popup if I hover over the tab.

Hi,

I am in the pharmaceutical industry and using ectd program, which is producing an xml backbone (directories) containing pharmaceutical information (pdfs). Only internet explorer can show this. Chrome has recently lost this ability. Firefox shows only some headings, like reading the index.xml only and not detecting the other directories. Is there an option/addon so I can view the contents correctly? I cannot attach the export of the ectd program (index.html & backbone/directories) so you can see to what I refer to, only the pics.

Thanks! Ryk

Hello Firefox is my default browser Now I have undesirable ads in the Promotions tab. Of course they disappear if I delete the Promotions tab, but the Promotions tab is very convenient. I can't mark them as spam. I don't have this problem at all with Chrome. Please tell me what to do. Sincerely

Gérard Galle

Since a few weeks, I can not drag image from and hence not drop images out of firefox anymore. I used to be able to drag and drop any image from any website into any other app before. Now, I have to right-click and save the image to the file system and from there in a second step decide what to do with it. This is very inconvenient and annoying.

Is this a bug? Is there a new setting where I have to enable this functionality again? Or is it simply a regression of firefox?

When I start Firefox and view a website in full-screen mode, Firefox is always in the foreground and also blocks all notifications from the Windows Notification Center. How can I stop this? I have already checked the settings. Nothing is activated here. I would like to view a website in full-screen mode, but still receive notifications. As soon as I exit full-screen mode, the Windows notifications are displayed again. Thank you for your help!
