some firefox has kept my username and password for my bank.

i go to that page and they are both prefilled. I have tried to use the password manager to remove them but failed. I did find an entry and clicked to remove it but it still does it.

How can I get this out of the system? Pretty serious, eh?

And it is firefox, not cookies. I have a cookie manager and there's no cookies for the site.

Hello,

In a previous version of firefox, I could right click within a text area for example, which would allow me to check my spelling. Since upgrading (which was actually from a higher Beta version, to the latest current stable - a new profile was created), I had not had this option. As you can appreciate, it's a very handy tool to have, so I have been attempting to get this function back today.

Within my language section, initially there was only 'English [GB]', which was as it should be. I had 'check spelling as I type' checked also. This did not automatically check as I typed. It did not check at all, not could i right-click to check spelling.

I have since added 'English [US]' to see if this would then allow me to remove and reinstate 'English [GB]', but it did not. I then added a third option which was 'English [CA]'. The config allows me to remove only 'English [CA]', which when pressed removes it from the list, but by pressing the 'set alternatives' button again, you can see that it has returned.

I have since managed to get firefox to check spelling in English [GB] by adding 'British English Dictionary (GB)' (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/british-english-dictionary-gb/), but now I am also stuck with English US and English CA. EN-US does not allow it to be removed whatsoever, even though it was only there after I manually added it and EN-CA allows me to remove, but returns. No option to apply and restart firefox appears (I've seen this appear in another user youtube video on the subject). Closing and opening makes no difference.

How can I removed English US and English CA please?

6 images attached, in sequence order. Between images 3 and 5 you can see CA being removed and returning (and also no option to remove US). The last image is what I am now trying to get rid of.

Most fonts are way too small, that might be Microsoft, I had to go back to Win 10 but that didn't help much at all. Pages are impossible to see right!

It has totally freaked with my web design work.

My games are messed up with sizes.

But most of all text sizes ARE CRAZY!

NOTHING fits together or views right anymore!

In the image the page is 67% - but you can't see the whole page OR adjust it to work. When you do see the whole page, the text is so small, it is unreadable!

Dzień dobry,

Piszę do Państwa z zapytaniem dotyczącym błędu spotykanego w naszej organizacji w aplikacji przeglądarki Firefox w różnych wersjach od 90+ do 101. Problem opiera się o zakładkę aplikację w ustawieniach ogólnych przeglądarki. W organizacji posiadamy pewną wtyczkę (EZD Addin) i przeglądarka w pierwszej chwili działa z nią prawidłowo wskazując jej lokalizację. Problem pojawia się po jakimś czasie, kiedy wtyczka przestaje działać a rozwiązaniem okazuje się ponowne wskazanie ścieżki do aplikacji.

Chciałbym zatem dowiedzieć się, czy problem nie jest przypadkiem po Państwa stronie i przeglądarka FF po jakimś czasie niejako wpływa na ustawienia w sekcji Aplikacji z ustawień ogólnych przeglądarki. Czy może wysyłają Państwo jakieś dodatkowe pakiety modernizujące przeglądarkę a jednocześnie wpływa to na ustawienia tej sekcji.

Odgórnie chciałbym zaznaczyć, że wykluczono z opcji błędów poprawki systemu Windows (nie pojawiały się w tym czasie), błędy wtyczki - wszędzie działa prawidłowo z wyjątkiem sytuacji opisanymi tutaj (było ich kilka na różnych stanowiskach).

Pozdrawiam Dominik Buksiński Gdańskie Centrum Informatyczne Proszę o rzetelne rozpatrzenie naszego zgłoszenia

I am using a Windows computer. Is there a way to change the two finger swipe to go back (or forward) a webpage to a "THREE" finger swipe? Two finger swipes interfere with other things that I may be trying to do on a webpage. I often find myself scrolling through tables (using two finger scrolling) and then if I scroll too far in one direction it goes BACK to the last webpage I was on. This is super frustrating!

I know how to disable the two finger swipe using about:config. However, if it can be changed to a 3 finger swipe instead, that would be a huge help.

Firefox 105.0.3 (64-bit) - add-on drop-down menus are back w/white text. I need white w/black text

I have selected a particular theme (Classic Marine Blue) which I like. However, when I click on an item that has a dropdown menu, the background color of the dropdown is black with white text. I prefer white with black text. For example, this happens with the Library item with the drop downs Bookmarks, History, and Downloads.

I've tried using Firefox Colors, and couldn't solve the problem with a custom theme.

I get it that this happens because the text color on most of the toolbars is white, which apparently triggers Firefox to flip to a black background rather than staying with the original white background.

I don't wish to change the theme. All I want is my black-text on white-background drop down colors back.

Any suggestions? Please help. This is really annoying.
