Firefox Support Forum

On certain websites I am getting scrambled text, mostly in headings and titles, not so much in body text. I have followed several tips from other posts like mine, i.e., installed Open Sans font, but that did not do it. I turned off hardware acceleration, and cleared the cache. The only thing that did work was to start Firefox in troubleshooting mode. I only have two add-ons running, Short URL and Dashlane, I doubt they're responsible for this. Any other ideas?

Hi,

After an update, Firefox does not recognize middle click at all. It worked in the past, but no longer. For example, middle clicking on... - a hyperlink should open a tab in the background - a bookmark bar item or bookmark menu should open that bookmark in background - empty space on the webpage should initiate autoscroll - a tab handle on the Firefox title bar area should close that tab None of these work as of now.

I'm on Windows 10, and I am using a Logitech MX Master 3 via USB Unifying receiver. I checked Logi Options+ app and confirmed the middle button is correctly set to middle button (default) and there's no per-app settings for Firefox.

Hello there, I wish to play 1080p video in 4k resolution(monitor native) rather than 1440*1.5 in fullscreen mode on youtube. I have a monitor 4k resolution, my win10 setting is 150% scaling(recommended), the youtube viewport size is "2560x1440*1.5" with a "*1.5". When I change win10 to 100%, viewport is "3840x2160". This seems correct but the video quality is lower because it is not a x2 upscale from original 1080p youtube stream, but rather x1.5x1.33. Is there anyway for firefox to render video directly? I am aware I can change system scale each time to play video but that's not what I'm looking for. I guess since firefox is rendering text pixel perfect so it has a solution for this problem. Thanks

I am running MS Outlook 365 on Firefox. But the Outlook implementation does not fit in within the Firefox window so I have to move the slide to the left and right to either read the message preview or see the the buttons on the left or the complete list of emails. Changing the Firefox zoom or font size does not address it. Is there a solution? Thanks

Hello,

I know I can use Ctrl plus + and - to zoom in and out the whole page. but now I only want to do it to content in a specific iframe. Is there any way can do that?

Thanks

I was checking settings on my computer, the one that runs on wifi. I hit a 3D setting and lost connection on the TV. How do I get the computer back on the big screen TV?

Hi All,

We recently upgraded to Firefox v107 and started seeing issue where the microphone is not accessible in the iframed page (on windows and mac os). The iframed page has microphone functionality to allow our users to record audio. Both the parent and iframe share the same domain. When i try to enable the microphone nothing happens. I don't see any error messages in console when i click Record button

Any info on what's causing this? It was working on version 106.

Thanks, David

I'm using one website which demands a new password every three months. That would be easy if the Firefox automatic generation of a new secure password worked with this site but it doesn't. Firefox thinks that both the Password and Confirm Password fields are asking for a username instead. Obviously I can take this up with with the website owner too -- but is there any other means of generating an obscure password when Firefox won't do it? An app? A Firefox plug-in?

When trying to stream video from either Netflix or Amazon I am receiving a message saying that my browser is out of date and is no longer supported. I am running 107.0.1, which is the up-to-date Firefox browser.

There is nothing on either sites help DB except for instructions on how to update my already up-to-date browser. FWIW I have been on this version for weeks and this has only emerged in the last 48 hours.

When using Firefox, and an email link, to try to track packages at FedEx, or USPS (probably also UPS), I get a message that says, "Cannot track, at this time, try back later". I've tried back later several times, but same message. When I use Microsoft Edge browser, the tracking info shows up, fine. ???

Hi, I just paid $99.00 for the update to microsoft office on my macbook pro. The download will not open due to the message: "Microsoft_Office_16.67.22111300_Installer.pkg” cannot be opened because it is from an unidentified developer. It cannot verify this app is free from malware."

It is a purchase from the microsoft website. Is there a way to set up firefox to allow opening this installer? Thanks.

I have shortcuts to launch Firefox in two ways, one with no commands and one with the following command: -P "Personal" --no-remote This used to show two separate Firefox icons on the taskbar. Firefox windows opened in each profile would be grouped with the same profile and kept separate from other profiles. With the latest update I still have two icons, the Default profile has a Firefox icon and the 'Personal' profile has a private browsing icon. Even though there are no private windows open. According to latest updates, if I open private windows then they should be grouped with their own icon. However, whether I have Default or Personal profile windows open, Private windows are grouped with their standard browsing windows.

This is on Win 10, Firefox 107.0.1

Any ideas how to fix this? Ideally I would have the standard Firefox icon on both profiles then, to conform with the private window separation update, my private windows would be separated from the standard windows but also from different profiles.

I have two separate problems which I think have the same root cause:

1) Whenever I go to make a call in Discord, no audio goes through to the other people in the call and I cannot hear them.

2) Whenever I try to make a video call in Messenger, the video is just a black screen but I can see myself. The people on the other end say that they can see both me and them.

This is exclusively a firefox problem because I have been able to call people through the Discord app and use Microsoft Edge to see the other person on the Messenger. I have also checked my permissions and have given both websites permission to use the microphone and webcam settings. How can I fix this? (Please also bear in mind I am not tech savvy in the slightest and if I have to manually change settings in the coding or programming, you will need to explain every single step in very clear detail)

I want to be able to control when firefox updates are done. many times, i try to sign on for a quick task. The firefox updates immediately kick-in and cannot be stopped. this prevents me from accomplishing my intended task in a timely manner. I want to do the updates on MY schedule, not Firefox's.

When running previous FF V-90, (and all previous versions for years now) use of Corel Photo-Paint X4 was fine. Since updating FF to 107 (after a brief try of 115 which was fully uninstalled almost immediately) when I try to "cut" part of an image, although the rectangle tool shows during selection, it vanishes as soon as the mouse is stopped. The uploaded image shows the process - which ends up with the required result ---- it's just that the important part of "What I Have Selected" seems to have been nobbled by FF. Can anyone suggest anything please?

Thanks,

Ian

I don't know why, but I suddenly have a 'pop-up' asking me to have Google store login passwords to various websites. I've removed and deleted or uninstalled every Google app and software that I can find from my PC as well as my laptop, and do not use the Google search engine, nor any Google applications, so how do I stop this, and how did it even get into Firefox? Trying to create as much of a separation as possible between me, my computers and Google (if that is even possible).
