A lot of sites hit me with Javascript-based animation, while requiring Javascript to work. I have sensory processing issues, so animation and flashing is painful, and can trigger my migraines; outside it can also be disorienting and dangerous.
I have Ublock Origin, but can't find out how to block elements with it.
Obviously if I'm trying to block an element, I've *already* been hit by it. But it would sometimes help to be able to freeze it. And *then* I would be able to consider further steps. If I can't freeze an animated element, I have to get away from it. If I try to scroll away from it, a highlighted area shifts left as I scroll down. If I mouse over the text box, it flashes.
I tried AdBlockPlus but deactivated it because it broke copy/paste.

So there is this one website I occasionally watch videos (http://www.sbs.com.au/ondemand/) and recently I noticed when I play videos all the control buttons like pause, play, rewind, volume no longer appear on the video. I tested it on Safari and the controls are there but I can not get Firefox to display them. I've tried disabling all my add ons and extensions, I've updated Firefox and no effect. In fact if i disable the ad blocker and click on the playing ad which pauses it I have to restart the whole video from the beginning since there is no play button there is no way to restart the ad to play it out. I've checked other websites and all the video controls display. Any help would be appreciated, I find this whole thing quite baffling.

I have tried creating a new profile, nope, starting in safe mode, nope, completly uninstalled and reinstalled, nope and i have followed all of the other trouble shooting links on the FF website. I am currently using Safari to log this and it works.
Is there anything i can do/try to fix this?
Thanks in advance

When I click on a select menu to choose an option it either flashes up and then closes before I can select or I select an option and it closes without changing to my selection. If I hold down the left click it keeps the menu open and I can then choose my option, the dropdown closes but hasn't selected my choice of option.

I been having problems with Firefox ever since I refreshed 65.0.1 losing 6 years of bookmarks, addons and passwords, after 7 hours and I managed to get old files back and had to redo addons and passwords. It became unreliable with copying/paste not working, slowness etc and when I found that it was not updating to latest 65.0.2 I scrapped it and downloaded latest. But cannot get old version of profile back. Instead I have no files showing up in local directory, though root directory is showing *see screenshot. So I have to restart everything from scratch with important passwords and bookmarks etc. It still will not show but closing down firefox it does save and keep customised setup and session etc. Is this normal to vanish on this version?

I had about 20-30 tabs open, but that has never been an issue. Firefox was slow to load an active page, and suggested restore. I clicked restore and tried to reopen firefox. the main page came up and then crashed. I tried again and it crashed again. I opened in safe mode, and it crashed. I uninstalled from the app folder, opened opera to download and reinstall, and it still crashed. That was two days ago. I cleaned everything off the computer related to firefox in the spotlight search, and uninstalled and reinstalled. It opened for a little longer, and crashed again.

Sync in Firefox on Mac OSX stops Firefox for 20 seconds

Hallo I use Firefox 48.0.1 on a MacBook with OS 10.11.6
Since some versions of Firefox, I don't know exactly since when, each time, I open the bookmark library or even if I set or change an existing bookmark, Firefox stops, the spinning wheel is visible and after about 20 seconds Firefox continues to be usable. This issue continues each time I do something with my bookmarks. I found that it is related to Firefox Sync. If I disable Sync, no problems at all. How can I fix this? Firefox is nearly unusable like this, because I depend strongly on the bookmarks. I have around 4000 Bookmarks. I already exported them, deleted all and imported again, no change. On my PC (Windows 8.1 - 64 Bit) I have not at all this problem.
Thanks
frank
PS.: I had to use a Proxy Server from US to get to this support page. I am in germany and there is no real german support page. Only a link to a user forum, where nobody can help if there are real bugs in Firefox like this, e.g. Is there another, maybe easier way, to get to this very support page than to cheat with proxy? Thanks

Hello, Ive got Quantum 63.01 running on macbook pro. Yahoo barging in as the 'default search engine'. I go to my preference page I delete it, google is back to being my default search engine. A few days later, boom- there is yahoo again showing up as the default. This goes on several times a week, and its driving me nuts. If I didnt like yahoo before, I really hate them now. Ive gone through all of your solutions, there is nothing in my extensions or add-ons that shouldnt be there. So why does this continue to happen? I need to get rid of yahoo now. I even ran yahoo through the finder and there is nothing on my laptop for yahoo. Isnt there a script I can look for in firefox that can be deleted or something?? Any and all help is truly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I just saw on my Firefox that I have the History saved from October 2018. Even if I delete for the last hour, the last week or All, nothing changed, everything is still there, saved. I try to change some settings like to delete the history everytime I closed Firefox, but the history is always there. I tried to delete site by site on the History and I'm not able to delete anything. Firefox is up to date. Thank you
