Firefox Community Forum

Since updating Firefox from a previous version, the browser no longer displays any Unicode emoji characters. Where an emoji would normally be rendered (👁), the browser instead displays empty space. Websites such as twitter and discord, which use their own artwork for emoji, are unaffected. This has negatively affected my browsing experience.

For illustrative purposes, I will add a series of emoji and include a screenshot of how they are displayed: (😀🙁😡💀). Other characters still display correctly: (β❖♞䷲⎈𐘢𓀺இ). My computer otherwise displays emoji correctly. The issue persists after disabling extensions, and has persisted between computer restarts.

I am using Firefox version 147.0.4 (aarch64) on a Macbook Air running macOS Sequoia 15.5.

Ever since I updated to 153, the FedEx website goes unresponsive after it pulls up a tracking number: I have to force quit Firefox to get out of this problem. No other website that I use has this issue. Everything else works just fine. What could be the issue here?

Cannot connect to BBC Sounds web page (https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds). Get the following error message: "The page isn’t redirecting properly Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete. This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies."

Have tried with and without a VPN, have cleared the cache, and shutdown/restarted Firefox, but no luck.

Connects without issue when using alternative browsers.

My javascript cannot detect the difference beween closing a new preferences tab and a new non domain tab. I believe this is for security reasons. This leads to one of my custom messages popping up when closing a non domain tab, which is not standard behavour on other websites on FireFox. If the user does or does not follow the popup instructions everything works fine. My question is: does this disqualify my website from being posted to the internet for FireFox browsing, or is it tolerable to users and to Mozilla? I have intentionally left out of this post technical information about my javascript. Believe me, I have tried countless ways to code my way out of this situation but due to Firefox's strong security measures, it is impossible. I should mention that perhaps if my script was an addon I would have accesss to the TAbs API which might offer a solution. The purpose of the script is to update the website to changes to the default Browser Zoom Level as found in the prefererence settings. Does anyone know if this purpose is compatible with FireFox Addon developement?Thanks so much for directing me to informed assistance. I hope the post is not "TMI"!!

I run a mac mini with OS X Catalina. I keep to that operating system as a number of my work apps work better. I am on the latest version of Firefox (64 bit) 144.0

In the last couple of years I have found webforms on Firefox seem to omit links or progress buttons like CONTINUE. When I check with the issuer or my colleagues I find they all use CHROME.

I have wasted a great deal of time on what I would have thought is a Minimum requirement issue.

Please give me one reason why I should stay with Firefox and not change to Chrome

thank you

macOS 15.6.1 Firefox 142.0.1

When I try to login to Facebook I can't and a screen appears with

"Sorry! Something went wrong :(

This happens even in Troubleshooting Mode …

Exactly the same issue with DuckDuckGo browser but no difficulties with Safari where I can login to Facebook as usual …

I'm afraid I picked up malware despite Sophos due to this message upon routine searches, e.g. "Where's the nearest pet store". About this page Our systems have detected unusual traffic from your computer network. This page checks to see if it's really you sending the requests, and not a robot. Why did this happen?

It's preceded by the reCaptcha request to check the box stating I'm not a robot.

I'm afraid to enter any passwords on here, to order anything, and especially engage in banking. I'm in a rental using WiFi, Thank You, Eileen

I cannot get into the "Directv" url with firefox. i can on my Iphone. Beloiw is the error message i get.

An error occurred while processing your request.

I try to compose an e-mail and the address appears from contact list but when you click on it to put in the address in displaces the first two letters and a cross in red. the adress does not work therfore and Ihave to typr it in every time. Very annoying if there are multiple p[eople to send the message t@!'

Since the latest Firefox update, I cannot load my primary banking account, and one of my work websites won't load. I can access both of these sites on other browsers.

I can not access my Outlook/Hotmail account in FireFox. I get a plank page. I have never had this problem before. I have no problem loading it in other browsers. Did something change? How do I correct this problem?

After signing into Amazon with firefox 43.0.1 (64-bit) browser on my mackbook I am not able to click on anything in firefox. I have to quit firefox and restart it before I can do anything. The even happens in a private window. Safari has no problems.

Firefox: 142.0.1 (64-bit) macOS: Sequoia 15.6.1 (24G90)

A repeat of a problem I was having a couple of months ago. I go to the reddit website and login with no problems but when I try to comment or load specific threads I get the attached warning come up:

"! Your request has been blocked by network security. Please try to login with your Redit account."

Which doesn't make sense as I'm already logged in. Last time it seemed to clear after 24 hours or so although not because of anything I did as far as I'm aware.

1. Started Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode - problem remains … 2. Cleared Firefox Cache/Cookies and restarted Firefox - problem remains … 3. Shutdown and restarted iMac - problem remains … 4. Problem not happening with Safari or DuckDuckGo browsers … 5. Checked macOS Local Network security. Firefox has access but turned off access and turned back on, restarted iMac - problem remains …

I have been logging into Facebook forever. Suddenly today I get to the login page, click on continue and I get the white dialog box but no fields to enter my login data. I don't know if Mozilla did an update or not and broke that feature. It is the only thing I can think of that would cause the issue.

the bill pay feature has worked for years on firefox. when I asked merrill edge about the feature not working, they asked me to use another browser. So I used Chrome, and the bill pay feature works.

When I click on an e-edition link for a newspaper in gmail, the link doesn't direct to the correct site in Firefox. When I use Safari, and click on the e-edition link for the newspaper, the link works as it should and goes to the correct page. I would like to have the link work on the Firefox browser. Any suggestions. I think there might be some sort of security thing/action which is misdirecitng the link. In the past, this problem happened with other sites.

Thank you,

Password box is not live. Works fine on Safari. Works fine on the other (older) computer on Firefox. Only site I am having problems with today. (Know there was a big problem yesterday. Only started 10/21. Running an M1 Mac Mini Firefox 144.0 (aarch64). Mac is running Sequoia 15.6.1.

What do I have to do to get it back up and running? I would rather not have to change the password if i don't have to.

Many thanks for your help.
