Firefox Community Forum

Hello, This is definitely an annoying bug because each time I right click a specific tab then "Open a new tab on the right", there's no focus on the url bar. And when I want to type something I have to bring the mouse inside the url text zone and click before typing.

It would really be a nice QoL to have.

Thank you ~

Firefox does not appear to be equipped with an inbuilt narrator. Microsoft Edge seems to have a read-aloud narrator. Is it possible to update Firefox with an built-in narrator? it might be good to add one to waterfox as well.

Please indulge this silly question. What possible benefit is there for Mozilla continuing to list this page with the very first, oldest Firefox release at the the top, requiring the user, every time they visit, to scroll to the middle of the page to search out the current latest version instead of having the chronological order from latest to oldest instead?

Recently, as I was writing a comment, spellcheck flagged "sexualized" and "unrelatable" as being spelled incorrectly. And when I looked at the list of words it was suggesting, and didn't see these words, I had to google them just to make sure these were official dictionary words, and not regarded as slang or something (like the word appearify, coined, apparently, by the homestuck creator). These aren't "bad" words either. I mean, I assumed that maybe "sexualized" wasn't included for some sort of censorship reason, but "unrelatable" ? How old is the dictionary Firefox is running its spellcheck through?

Whenever I start a Youtube video ever since turning on Dolby Atmos, there is a good 2-3 seconds of audio cut out of the beginning of every Youtube video launched. This doesn't happen on Edge or Chrome. I have tried turning off hardware acceleration in Firefox and restarting Firefox but this does nothing. Even when I rewind the video, the audio is not there even though the video is playing.

Suddenly blocked from Etsy only on Firefox today. Still works fine on all other browsers. I get this error message when trying to sign into Etsy on Firefox.

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 73.43.0.132) as you.

I've been searching for an answer to this for weeks to no avail. It concerns YouTube videos "autoplay"ing on YouTube. Many have asked this question and most responses state to shut off Autoplay. These are two separate issues. AotuPlay means the next video on YouTube will advnace automatically requiring no user input. If Autoplay is off, streaming stops at the end of the video. The issue I am having is when I open a YouTube video to a new tab (but do not switch to that tab), the video WILL start playing as soon as that tab is in focus. This never used to happen and indeed, on two other computers with the settings and extensions all sync'ed, this doesn't happen, except for on this one computer. Today I found someone that posted the exact same problem 5 years ago and didn't get an answer. He seems to describe it well:

1. Okay, so before, when I loaded up 100+ Youtube videos, they stayed when switching tabs - no autoplay. Suddenly they decide to autoplay when switching tabs - note, I've not done anything to my settings or plugins. Fair enough, maybe you changed something (which you often do, without informing). So I check the options. It was on "Block audio", which obviously didn't work, so I tried "Block Audio and Video" - which WORKS, but now both the video is paused (which I want) AND the audio is set to mute (which I DON'T want) - so... what does it take to have Youtube wait for a click to start playing a video loaded in a background tab, but KEEP AUDIO ACTIVE, so I don't also have to unmute the damn video?

One person posted a possible solution: Maybe check this pref on the about:config page.

   media.block-autoplay-until-in-foreground 

This setting describes the issue kind of. If you have this set to false, the moment you send a link to a new tab, YouTube starts playing in the background. Setting it to false keeps the video paused until that tab is in focus. That is how mine has always been set. What I am looking for is a setting that would say something like: "block autoplay until play is pressed"

Thanks in advance and sorry for being so long-winded

I've noticed recently after system reboots that Firefox forgets the "Open previous windows and tabs" setting and restarts with only a blank tab. I've confirmed that this setting is ticked prior to the reboot. I know I can restore the session under History but why isn't Firefox remembering this setting and re-opening the windows & tabs like previously?

Running Firefox 135.0.1 and Mac Sequoia 15.3 (but has been happening in recent previous versions of both).

I have tried to up date the firefox program as requested. When I go hit the "update now" button, I get a screen and when I try to save it says " firefox installer already exists" and it takes me back to the first page with a message in a box at the top of the page that says Your download should begin automatically. Didn’t work? Try downloading again."

I have tried several times but I find that I'm stuck in a stupid loop where nothing gets installed. The message is that I have till March 14, so this needs to be done soon.

I am not particularly computer savvy, so any clarity on this will be helpful.

Can you please tell me why when I open my Virgin Email Account, the Auto Spell Check does not function? All my other email account I have, the Spell Check works fine, but not on Virgin Email. Yet it works fine on any other Broswer I have. The option Check your spelling as you type box is ticked
