Firefox Community Forum

I'm using Firefox in a kiosk-mode application, on a Raspberry Pi based system, started from a bash script like this:

# Clear history etc. to prevent problems if unit is not perfectly shut down rm -v -r /home/pi/.mozilla/firefox/*.default rm -v -r /home/pi/.mozilla/firefox/*.default-esr rm -v -r /home/pi/.cache/mozilla/firefox/*.default rm -v /home/pi/.mozilla/firefox/profiles.ini

sleep 2

/usr/bin/firefox-esr --kiosk -url http://127.0.0.1

However on booting I get a banner from Mozilla along the top of the screen saying: "Firefox automatically sends some data to Mozilla so that we can improve your experience [Choose what I share]"

This is not acceptable in kiosk mode, as it would give users access to the configuration as well as being a visual annoyance. How can we disable this?

Hi!

I've noticed dropped frames in videos for a while now, but only recently tested the issue. Using youtubes stats for nerds, I found that when videos have a small viewport resolution, it starts to drop frames. (I would test with other sites but only know of youtubes stats for nerds system to detect issues like this) For example a viewport resolution of 1250x703 does not drop frames, however by unmaximising the screen and the viewport resolution drops to 681x383, it begins dropping frames.

Using my 2nd monitor which has a smaller actual resolution, the video drops frames unless fullscreened, see recordings below. Test A | Firefox Maximised but video not fullscreen Test B | Firefox Maximised and video fullscreen This issue also occurs with picture-in-picture mode.

Disabling hardware acceleration fixes this issue but for some reason only affects firefox, using MS Edge with "graphics acceleration" enabled does not result in this issue. Is this potentially an issue specifically with how firefox handles hardware acceleration? Also since I require hardware acceleration to be enabled for 3D model work in my browser, is there something I'm missing here that would allow me to keep hardware acceleration on but not have this issue?

Any help is much appreciated, thanks!

Hi, FF updated to version 134.0.1 and the password generator is gone. I checked, the web page does uses correctly input type="password", but when I right click on the input form field, it doesn't have the usual "suggest secure password" anywhere. In about:config, the signon.generation options are all set to true. Any ideas, how can I generate a secure password without any external tools? Thx.

On some dark themed websites the dropdown menu has an annoying white border as seen in the image taken on

Every time I type in "Blue.." to get to Bluesky social, I get an entry at the top "blue marble creative."

I'm unable to delete this autosuggest. It does not have 3 dots next to it like all the other entries do. Does this mean it's an add? If so, how can I prevent it from coming up?

I have never visited the link.

Hello, why is it impossible for me to connect to "https://www.groupe-uneo.fr" with mozilla ? I have no problem with Chrome... Best Regards. MLB

While in ProCore I will open the drawings and Firefox will present it correctly with the markups tools. After 2 or 3 drawings the markups box will no longer show up. I have to go to Firefox settings and delete the cache, restart ProCore and the drawings will go back as they should be.

This mandatory upgrade completely illustrates the point of why so many never did. Upgrades tend to lose functionality- add-ons, etc, that we're accustomed to and still work quite well with don't function anymore with browser upgrades, and there's no viable replacement available so we stick with what works and find other ways to compensate for any perceived vulnerabilities. Now, like Microsoft, you're forcing consumers to do things they never wanted to and taking away the reasons for using this browser to begin with. Given that we've been able to use older versions for years with no issues, there's no sugarcoating that this is all on you, Mozilla. Calling this course of action disappointing is a gross understatement and nothing more than keeping things polite.

I remapped the "Select All" command on my computer from CMD - A to CMD - E. In order to make the change for all apps, MacOS allows changing the shortcut in:

Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts > App Shortcuts > All Applications (or by adding application specific shortcut changes.)

I added an entry for "Select All" as CMD - E, which works for all my applications except for Firefox. Firefox even recognizes that the shortcut was modified, but still defaults to CMD - A as the default. What can I do to fix this?

There is a glitch in PDF viewer. So this happened on 4th January 2025 where when I open a pdf the page which was portrait was in expanded landscape mode which made the image weird while keeping it in portrait. A Screen shot has been attached. Look at that image it is not in that manner at all. Fix the viewer!!

I went to right click on a open tab to share it with somebody. The share link has many unwanted choices. I wanted to clear those. So I went to Firefox settings Cookies and Site Data to clear everything in the cache, it will not remove them. Any help greatly appreciated.

I used to work and used zoom with my works account. Now that I'm no longer working I'm having trouble logging into Narcotics Anonymous meetings provided around the world. How do I delete my work account and just open a regular zoom account ?

I suppose you run some sort of volume test before a release. Each crash appeared to start another (or more) task(s). There was a sitting (quiet) connection to ChatGPT, and i went to open another tab, which never came up without a crash. I sent several reports, each of which appeared to cause another crash. So i think it isn't volume as such but diversity of use cases which involve two-way open dialogue as with Google or Chat, and opening another tab.. GLWT.

i am required to supply a foxfire/mozilla password to use my stored payment method-it pops up, however, I've never created a foxfire password and do not have one so my saved credit card info wont work . Please advise
