hi

i need help with a website that used to play videos but since last few times its not working as its saying video cannot be redirect to due to cookies but i clear them so can you help

After firefox update, start page changed to first photo i added here, second photo is how it was before, is there any way to get it back? Before update i had version 131.0b9, now its 136.0b1

It's not that they are not in my Firefox downloads manager, which I expected. It's that I confirmed before closing my private browsing window that they were in my Downloads folder on my C drive, and when I went back after closing the private browsing window they were gone. Under "recent files" in my file browser it showed a couple of the most recent downloads and when I tried to click to open them it said they had been moved or deleted. Entering the first couple words of the file titles in the search bar in my file browser yields absolutely nothing.

This was over 30 files or so. It will be really irritating to try to find and download all of them again. Does anyone know of any way for me to get them back???

Hello,

After Firefox update opening a new tab does not work anymore, now when you do a right click you have huge list of options: save as video, save as image... and you don't even need that. This is something that was introduced lately. Please rollback this version below

135.0 (64-bit)

PS: I m not really asking a question, I m reporting a bug ==> it would be nice if we can do that when you go through help menu

Hi there,

I am using Fennec from F-Droid (build 1340020). I noticed that many Brahmic scripts on webpages are shown as boxes. I don't recall seeing this in early versions maybe years ago.

Notably all major scripts in India like Devanagari, Tamil, Telugu can not be rendered. However, Odia and Sinhala scripts are shown fine. Outside India, Tibetan script cannot be rendered either. However, SEA scripts like Thai, Burmese are fine.

Moreover, if I copy these boxes to the search bar, the actual content can be shown. The tab view can also show the title of the webpage correctly in Bramic scripts. And if I change the locale in the settings, the UI of Fennec app can also properly display the scripts.

To further debug, I went to the about:config and search for fonts. Unlike western or CJK scripts, the value of font.default of Bramic scripts is serif rather than san-serif. The default value of font.name-list of these Bramic scripts are just Noto Sans or Noto Serif. I tried to switch between serif and san-serif but got no luck.

I was wondering how to fix this issue. Thanks!

Recently (a couple of months ago) a "standard" feature shared between Desktop and Mobile suddenly stopped working on my Android, and this cripples the use of many "secure" websites.

We could click-and-hold, long-press, call-it-whatever, the Back button and instead of trying to go back one page Firefox would show a screenful of pages, like clicking the drop-down next to Back on the desktop version. I could click on the bottom link, then immediately hold again and go back another half screen, and in two clicks go back probably 70 pages.

Why has this essential functionality been removed? How do we get it back? Can I roll back to a specific browser version just before it was removed?

This function is so core to my effective use of Firefox that I would choose it over any notional "security" or "stability" enhancements from having a later version.

Examples of why this is *not* a trivial problem--

On a banking or government logged in site, going back several pages (say, to before the login pages) is critical to continue reading the information you were reading when your session timed out (when the alternative is either try to click Back quickly several times but end up at the login page again, or spend half an hour following the obscure links to try to remember how you found the information in the first place).

On a shopping site, having gone to the checkout and emptied your basket, if you need to go back and place a second order for things you've just been looking at but did put in your basket, it is critical to be able to go Back multiple pages to skip over the payment security screens, otherwise most shopping sites either hijack the Back button or get terribly confused whether you want to pay again or why it can't display the contents of your empty basket.

On Google Translate, it's essential to be able to do this to flip back to previous translation attempts, because when you type text at the keypad the silly webpage takes every keypress as a new webpage in the stack, so you often have to go back 100 times just to get the previous successfully translated sentence.

I used this a lot, but now cannot find it on any toolbar. I've added no software or made any changes in the interim. I was hospitalized from 1/10 to 1/31, and didn't use my computer in that period. I updated Firefox, and still can't find the control.

Recently when I try to go to several websites I get a variation of this message below. I usually have to wait 2-3 days before I can try and open that link again. Why is this happening? This is for sites like NYTimes.com, Etsy.com, and more.

You have been blocked. Why? Something about the behaviour of the browser has caught our attention. There are various possible explanations for this:

   You are browsing and clicking at a speed much faster than expected of a human being.
   Something is preventing JavaScript from working on your computer.
   There is a robot on the same network (IP address is here) as you.

The Thought-Provoking Stories' has gray bars and a horizontal moving vertical bar in every story box and no stories. How do I add the stories to those boxes? I don't see any info. on how to add those. Thank You.

Hi.

How do I use the extensions I have in Firefox web on iOS? Specifically I have the extension of Deepl on my Firefox for desktop. How can I use it or any other way of translating a full page? Thanks

I seem to have an intermittent issue on a laptop with webpages not updating after the initial load if there is more to load.

To give an example, if I go to https://www.milkandmore.co.uk/dairy/c/yoghurt on the laptop, most of the time, it will only display 12 of the 26 items and not show the rest when I scroll down.

Works fine in chrome and edge though and when I scroll down to the 12th item, it loads up the rest every time. It will do so intermittently on firefox.

Hope that's explained alright.

Firefox is up to date. Tried disabling autoscroll and smooth scrolling but no joy.
