My cursor dissapears when I use some type of maps - FlightRadar, Booking. I've tried to run in troubleshoot mode already, disabled all add-ons, unchecked hardware acceleration, changed theme, disabled webrender, nothing works. I've also checked for latest graphic cards updates, everything is up to date. More suggestions someone? Thanks

I can not connect to a espn+ though direct tv . I have contacted espn and direct tv they can not see a problem it is with firefox. I am watching it on a laptop on a fast conection. I can contect and watch on edge but I prefer firefox. I have tried cookie and cache removal. James Ernest Jones urofch@hotmail.com

I have been a happy Firefox and Thunderbird used for many years, but the constant unnecessary tweaking and fiddling with the GUI has begun to spoil my user experience. Each update seemed to change something that was working fine and didn't need changing... the last straw was making the on-screen font so small that it was nearly impossible to read.

It took me quite a while to find a way to change the font size and appearance back to something usable. That was when I decided to disable automatic updates. Now, every time I open FF or TB I get a nag screen and this is beyond annoying. There does not appear to be any way to stop this happening outside of doing complicated stuff in the registry that I am not prepared to do.

So basically, I am looking for a recommendation on the best alternative browser and mail app that I can use when I delete FF and TB. Chrome seems to work OK for a browser and although I don't like the GUI, Gmail is probably the logical choice as I use Gmail addresses. I don't need apps that work on phones as I work on a PC, so a simple clear GUI is more important to me than all kinds of clever features that I will never use :)

In using firefox 96.0.3 with windows 10, it displays special characters. Google browser does not.

Some text is replaced by special characters. Impossible to read the screen.

Thank you for your help

Yesterday my firefox updated to version 96.0. It changed to screen to dark theme. I prefer the light theme and need help to change it back. Thanks

Every so often I get a pop up message that says a web page is slowing down my computer. I don't understand how this happens nor how to stop it. Can some one please tell me? Keep in mind, I am truly technologically-challenged. Please reply as if you're talking to a smart 2 - 3 years old...seriously. Thank you for your time and consideration.

After creating a new Windows User account and switching back to original account, I lost ALL of my Quick Access Bookmarks! Then I did a Bookmark Restore using the most recent saved Bookmark file and I lost around 64,050 bookmarks!!! Now, the latest saved Bookmark file lists 5 items. This is a ridiculous and a very serious issue!!!

What is going on? I spend a lot of time getting important Bookmarks for research, and etc. How can I get all of my Bookmarks back? Apparently, I cannot get them all back. See attached file.

For some reason when I type, if I haven't already clicked a search bar or anything, the word finder will automatically pop up. In the past I have been using ctrl F to get it to pop up, but recently its not like that, just pops out whenever I press a letter on my keyboard. I think it may be due to me messing around in the settings, but I haven't been able to find a solution to this yet online.

I've noticed within the last few weeks, I have been unable to access wisconsin.gov sites. Other sites, no problem. I access dmv.gov site to renew registration 12/22/22 just fine, but since then, I have been trying to access DMV.gov for information and the Department of Workplace Development (.gov) to process payroll forms and am unable to access ANY wisconsin.gov sites. What has happened? Same issue with my Android device which is synced with my Laptop's Firefox. My husband's Android phone which isn't using Firefox (same cellular provider) has been fine accessing these sites. Other things I've noticed: on my Firefox account page it shows squeeg Laptop for one device logged in (few minutes ago) and the same device but listed as Window Guy laptop also logged in (a year ago), not sure how long account has been showing the duplicate device. Also, I've been getting a pop up window occasionally that says my Samsung device (used for hotspot connection) is no longer connected, even though it is and allowing me to browse. Not sure if that is related. I haven't made any changes to privacy settings, security settings, etc. before this has become an issue. Please help, this issue is beyond my expertise.

Hello! Firefox is now controlling the volume of my system via a volume fader that appears in the upper left corner of my screen. Also because of this- I can no longer use "control" button and my mouse to expand any images. In short- Firefox has taken over total control of my mouse. Hoping you can help get this back to normal! Thank you!

Hi, I've recently noticed that Firefox is not using Intel Graphics for hardware video decoding, here are the specifics:

- I tested this on two separate PC - one laptop with dual GPU (an Intel UHD 630 and NVIDIA GTX 1070) and one desktop with dGPU removed (leaving only an Intel UHD 630 by i7-9700K), on both PC I made sure to run Firefox on Intel GPU only. - According to information I gathered online, Intel UHD 630 should support H264 decoding and VP9 decoding without any problem. - I tested videos from Youtube (VP9, non-HDR video) and Twitch (avc/h264 video) - The exact same video, when played on Microsoft Edge (Chromium), uses Intel's hardware decoder without any problem. - On the dual GPU laptop, when being forced to run on NVIDIA's GPU, Firefox correctly uses the NVDEC decoder without any problem. - Both PC uses the latest Intel driver (30.0.101.1191)

I have attached copies from about:support page below.

In Firefox settings, under General -> Performance section, I have left "Use recommended settings" checkbox on.

Could someone help?

Hi all, I am unable to view videos hosted on the BBC.co.uk website. I get sound, just no image.
