Hello. I frequently shop at particular store and have never had a problem.

Now, it's off and on. One order will go through with the help of their customer service (doing a direct purchase). Then a few weeks later I don't have a problem and can order without assistance. Now, once again, I can't purchase anything. Once my credit card goes through my address disappears. Then I add my address again and then my credit card is deleted. When my address or my credit card is deleted the order has in bold red letters telling me to add it again. I've tried Chrome after Firefox had issues but it had an issue too.

Is there something I can disable while I shop? I'm not having any problems with any other sites. Thank you!

Clipboard-related issues in Firefox

I'm using Firefox, updated to version 140.0.4, on my Windows 11 laptop. Since Edge is my primary browser, I normally only use Firefox for two particular websites that don't work well in Edge. Beginning in March 2025, I've had a strange problem with one of those websites. In certain situations, words or phrases pop up in text boxes, meaning that if I want to type something, I first have to delete the word or phrase. Since it's a game website (not a video type game -- actually contract bridge) and the game is somewhat time-sensitive, this is very annoying. The words and phrases are ones that are appropriate to the website (i.e., not random), and seem to be the same in each session. That's why I labeled this as a "clipboard-related" issue.

Clearing the cache seems to help for a short time, but the problem always returns. <Ctrl>-F5 also helps, but seems to work for some text boxes but not others. In fact, <Ctrl>-F5 works for one type of text box, the type that I use most often, for the remainder of that session. But if I use one of the other text boxes, it doesn't help.

If that isn't strange enough, there are two additional oddities: For the other text boxes, the ones that are unaffected by <Ctrl>-F5, if I continue to use them, they eventually stop popping up words and phrases, again just for the remainder of that session.

The other oddity is that I'm using the free version of the LastPass plugin, and every time one of these words or phrases pops up, the LastPass symbol (a red box with three white dots) also appears at the right of the text box. This is completely inappropriate, since these text boxes have nothing to do with logging in or passwords. For this reason, I'm going to try to contact LastPass to ask about the same issue. However, their support isn't very responsive, so I'm hoping that somebody in the Mozilla forum will have a solution.

As I said, the problem only occurs on this one bridge website, and although I've been using Firefox to access it for several years, the issue never occurred before March 2025.

Hello! Appreciate the help I could get. It is rather hard to type when the letters are disappearing as I type it out. I will provide screenshots of my issues and hopefully someone could help me out. I just downloaded the browser and have no idea how to fix the issues. The tabs are constantly flickering in different colors. The letter are disappearing or merging together or sometimes written in bold, crossed out, or underlined. It is making it rather hard to use the browser haha, but let me know what else I can provide to help out identify the issue. THANKS!

When I search for something in the address bar using Firefox, I don't receive Google suggestions. The second photo is from another browser and shows exactly what I want.

What settings might I have changed?

Firefox currently: https://prnt.sc/11K105eLPdle

I want: https://prnt.sc/ToJ_b2PQ14k9

Note:

   browser.search.suggest.enabled => true
   browser.urlbar.suggest.searches => true

I've looked at the details in the config. As above. I've also used the Firefox Reset feature, but the problem still persists.

For no apparent reason, all Firefox 140.0.4 on Windows 10 crashed and when it was relaunched it did not restore any open tabs, reverting instead to the home page. All history is gone, no previously open tabs are windows appear in the history list. This computer has syncing enabled.

I used about: profiles on the Win 10 machine and it only shows the one that is currently in use. I copied the 2 files found in the along with places.sqlite into a temp directory. I did a search for index.dat and it is not found on the Win 10 computer.

Even worse: another computer running Win 11 that is syncing with the Win 10 machine is also now missing its history. Is there a way to recover from this?

Note: I am generating this from the Win 11 machine, not the problematic Win 10 machine.

I have been an avid user of the Firefox browser on my PC for over a decade but a few days ago, when I tried to access a website on my Firefox browser, it would not connect me to the website. I have many tabs open in my browser and when I try to access any of the tabs, I get the same problem. There's a dot that moves endlessly back and forward in the tab while the screen remains blank. In the heading next to the website address it says "not secure", but it is saying this for all the websites that I was previously able to access and any new website that I enter. How can I fix this to access websites? I have tried restarting my computer but that has not fixed it.
