Fullscreen Error with Multiple Displays when Hardware Acceleration is disabled

I have my desktop extended across two displays. If I disable Hardware Acceleration in Firefox, entering fullscreen causes the window to be slightly offset down and right, leaving a thin band on the top and left sides of the screen where the desktop background and taskbar are visible behind the Firefox window.

From testing I have determined that this issue does not occur if I only have one monitor enabled or the monitors are mirroring the same display. I have also determined that the issue only occurs when Hardware Acceleration is disabled.

Yahoo Finance stock charts are not loading. Never encountered this problem before this week. A GeekSquad tech support person was not able to fix the problem and recommended I contact Firefox. Edge and Chrome load Yahoo Finance stock quote sites just fine; I'm only having trouble with Firefox. Any ideas on how to fix? Thanks! Carol

Hello

One morning about a week ago I woke up and opened my computer. Some update has probably been installed, and all the tab groups that I have diligently organized and saved - disappeared!

The tabs disappeared and all the sites saved within them disappeared also.

Please your help

I am using Firefox desktop on Windows 11. I have downloaded hundreds of articles from this website, with no problem until yesterday. I accessed the website using Edge, and it worked fine.

When trying to access a particular article to download it to Ancestry, the following message appears:

Application error: a client-side exception has occurred (see the browser console for more information).

I accessed the browser console for more information, which I'm sure someone can understand, but not this grandma. This is what I got:

I really don't want to stop using Firefox, but I need a usable browser. Can you help me?

Hate the "puzzle piece." Involuntarily upgraded to 115.25.0esr and it lost all my bookmarks, addons, history. How do I know which profile was the most recent, before the update added a new profile? How do I find my addons from the previous version? history?

Unsure if this is correct category... Years ago when Firefox was in it's infancy - Firefox settings used to allow much more power/control over cookies & how you deleted them. You could actually display & select individually ones you wanted to delete. Now Firefox has it's own Interface 'utility' and only allows you to delete 'groups' of cookies based on their App name. I was looking for the location / name of the dataset which is used to store cookies - so I could delete them more finely. Or is this in some sort of special format which is ONLY accessible thru Settings. I see MANY Cookie add-ons, mostly dealing with auto-responding to cookie prompts. Actually as of this writing - I am trying one of these.

Tried to go to Amazon (I have a Prime acct.) on my desktop. Mozilla asked for my PIN. I don't have my PIN. Mozilla said go to Settings and Accounts to add a new PIN. I went to Firefox/Mozilla settings and could not find Account in order to get a PIN. I tried searching in Settings on Account; nothing. I scrolled and clicked around and could not find what I needed.

I am old but far from tech illiterate. I've worked on computers since the mid-1980s. I've had this sort of layered problem with Firefox before. Firefox has been my preferred browser since the 1990s, I believe. I appreciate the concerns with privacy and safety in browsing. But I've run into this sort of problem a number of times. I need to know how to address the PIN issue. I'm happy to get a new PIN if I could only find a way in the browser's settings to do just that.

And, by the way, the password I had for Firefox/Mozilla would not work, though I have it written down, know my entry was correct, keep my passwords in a safe place. I had to open my account on Firefox/Mozilla with Google, which, of course, meant entering another password and doing verification via iPhone. And, of course, I ended up entering with Google and the entry was associated with my secondary email address. That, unfortunately, is not the email address my Firefox/Mozilla account is associated with. It is associated with my primary email address.

All of this takes way more of my time, the customer's time, than I intended when all I wanted to do was open Amazon and print a return label on a product I had ordered. The ridiculous process has left me pretty pissed off.

Frankly, I'd be happy to simply enter my Amazon password to complete the task I need to complete, but Firefox is in the way! Please make your security add-ons clearer and more easily worked with. And please let me know how I can get a new blasted PIN! Of course, I will evidently have to change my Firefox/Mozilla password, as well, since you will no longer accept my current password that, BTW, was made in the past 6 months.

Ugh! Just recognized that I have to wait for another user to volunteer some sort of advice on this. That just makes me madder. I excised my actual email addresses, primary and secondary, from this message because I initially didn't realize this just goes out to a generalized community to see if anyone has something to offer.

Getting closer to abandoning Firefox.

For some reason Firefox remembered my phone number and is now trying to use it as a login when I attempt to login or register in any service. I've checked my saved passwords and autofill data, but I cannot find it, there's only usernames and passwords, and I have no saved autofill data, no phone number. Where can I look for it to remove it?
