Hello,

I'm a bit out of ideas how I can get Firefox to display the correct characters. For reference: https://learnjapanese.moe/font/

Windows: I only have german and japanese locale installed, i even changed in intl.cpl the language to japanese. I have installed the japanese language pack / fonts and it's showing correctly in any windows editor.

Firefox: Second language set to japanese, disabled all addons, tried it on private mode to no success.

Any ideas how I get the characters to display?

Edit: I made it work by changing in about:config the font.cjk_pref_fallback_order-string to have ja as first.

I have a problem. When watching videos on YouTube, especially in 4K, it starts to freeze, and the loading screen stays on indefinitely. The same thing happens when you fast-forward or rewind the video. Switching the video to 1440p or 1080p helps, but over time, even at 1080p, it starts to freeze. but if I switch back to 4K, everything works fine, but only temporarily or until I fast-forward it.

I can provide browser data files. I'll say right away that I've tried a lot of things, and even everything that ChatGPT recommended didn't help. I tried changing the about:config settings related to the video player and codecs.

The only thing that helped was installing a plugin (h264ify by erkserkserks) that disables av1, and in that case the video works fine, BUT only at 1080p, which doesn't suit me, as I would like to watch videos in high quality.

If I disable hardware acceleration so that videos are rendered on the processor, then everything works fine and everything runs smoothly, except that the processor is loaded at 60%. This may be a solution to the problem, but I would like to figure it out and solve it completely, rather than looking for a compromise.

Motherboard: ASRock B850M Pro-A (BIOS date 02/21/2025, DMI BIOS version 3.20) CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 8400F 6-Core Processor RAM: Crucial CP16G60C36U5B (Crucial 2x16 - 32GB) Video card: NVIDIA GeForce MSI RTX 3080 Ventus 3X OC LHR (MS-V389) (Driver version: 32.0.15.7652, Development date: May 14, 2025, DirectX version: 12 (FL 12.1)) Video card driver 576.52, May 19, 2025 The entire system and browser are installed on an M.2 NVMe CT1000P3PSSD8 SSD (Crucial P3 Plus 1TB PCIe 4.0 x4) (there are also other drives) (2 monitors 1440p) Windows 11 Pro If any data is required, I can provide it. All drivers and everything else are installed in the latest version (unless new ones have been released or it has not updated itself). All Visual C++ and Windows components are installed, I don't think there is a problem with them.

The problem only occurs in the Mozilla browser; there are no problems in any other browsers. I also noticed that on some websites where I watch movies, there is a problem with the video. Unlike YouTube, they load normally, but in dynamic scenes, the image breaks up, similar to the image breakup in games when vertical synchronization is turned off. That is, the video is divided into two parts, and one of them lags behind by a fraction of a second. I tried resetting the browser settings, but it didn't help. Everything works fine on my MacBook and in other browsers and devices, so it's not related to the internet.

Please help me figure this out and solve the problem because I've already tried everything, and I don't want to switch to another browser because I've been using Mozilla for over 15 years. Also, if you need any information or a detailed explanation, I can show you or even record a video. Everything worked fine on Windows 10 on the same system, but Windows 11 is not running as smoothly. (To clarify, this is a clean system; I did a complete clean install of Windows 11, although when I upgraded from 10 to 11, everything seemed to work fine).

I would be grateful for any help.

firefox not discarding tabs automatically even though i have tab discarding on in about:config via "browser.tabs.unloadOnLowMemory=true" "browser.tabs.min_inactive_duration_before_unload=60000"

also if i discard them manually from about:unloads manually whenever i restart firefox all discarded tabs come back to life is it supposed to do that?

Thanks

why does firefox blocks incoming http conection to localhost:8080 when I try to obtain a google oauth2 token using oauth2.py ?. The Google server returns the token via http to loaclhost:8080 and the port is blocked by firefox.

How come only on firefox does it show youtube's views, likes and subscribes number value look like an old mechanical odometer? See attached image to see what im talking about.

Does anyone know how to disable it so that it just shows the number plainly and not this weird thing?

Again ONLY in FF harbor freight search function breaks when entering a search.

Yes, please don't give me the MS ctrl-alt-del type of response about cookies.... That was done many times before posting this. The website works fine in Brave. MS Edge well, let's not speak of it in public company shall we.

So, now what the heck is happening to FF???? I have contacted HF three times and they referred me to use other browsers other than FF. No, I DO NOT have multiple extensions nor themes. FF is bare bones but for uBlock. Hardware acceleration is off and MS Clear type is on. Anybody wanna fess up, who broke this????

I just need some help to stop techlorex from popping up as its constant and all day every day, There is no app and I search the system but nothing comes up, It pops up on one app I delete the app and it comes up on another one. Has enyone else had this problem and did you find a solution? Many thanks.

I just finished using my printer. When I came back to print something else, it wouldn't print. Got this error code.

The page isn’t redirecting properly Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never be completed.

This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies.

I did what it said: checked the connections, etc. I even changed out the printer with another one. Same problem.

Hi, as the title says, they stopped displaying after I installed the latest update for firefox for my computer (macbook air with the apple M1 chip). I have checked that in the settings I have "Show an image preview when you hover on a tab" enabled and that in my config I have both browser.tabs.hoverPreview.enabled and browser.tabs.hoverPreview.showThumbnails set to true. What could the issue possibly be now?

I lost a bookmark folder in my main computer. I did a sync and it did not appear. I opened an other older computer and it was still there. I did a sync and expected it to then show up in my main computer, it did not. I went back to the old one, there it had now disappeared. The help files say go to bookmarks, then to manage bookmarks, except I don't have "manage bookmarks", just a list of some recent bookmarks. When I do a " bookmark search" for something which was in the folder, it finds it, so the folder is still somewhere. How do I get it back? Why did sync fail and did not add it from the old computer?

Thanks for any help

Sending this using Safari because Firefox is totally messed up. Firefox 115.24.0esr (64-bit) OSX 10.13.6 High Sierra 2011 Mac Power Book (MPB) with 16 GB RAM. Verizon DSL line, download speed tests from 10-14 Gb/sec but Latency is always 400-900+ msec. No way to measure Jitter with speedtests that will run on my older system, or Bufferbloat now that DSLreports has gone dark.

I want a tool that will allow me to see all the attempts to connect, and packets/traffic, to see it its my old computer going bad, Firefox, the wireless or wired connection to the DSL modem/router, or the DLS modem/router itself, such as a problem with reaching the Domain Name Server (DNS) etc.

I can access the DSL modem/router in the browser, but there isn't much documentation. Its made by Actiontec but customized firmware for Verizon.

The problem persists whether I am using wifi or an Ethernet cable.

My wifes 2010 MBP computer with 8GB RAM using about 6.4GB, running High Sierra and Firefox 115.24.0 (esr) seems not to have the problem at all.

Firefox will show something in the lower left corner, "connecting to..." or "loading..." etc. It can stall with either status.

Search engines would be StartPage or DuckDuckgo. With DDgo, sometimes it just spins forever, but if I click on the URL bar, it drops down another line with the same URL and "--Visit" appended. Sometimes that will load, but seems random.

Some URLs / links open in a few seconds, some spin forever.

I first called Verizon Tech support on May22 about problems (see full exchange of repeated calls & new trouble tickets below). I think, IIRC, this happens to be shortly after I upgraded my Firefox version. They have admitted to PINGs not returning, packet loss, no excuse for the Latency.

I do have a lot of pages/tabs open; Activity Monitor says my memory use is about 14GB, but the Memory Pressure stays low in the green. I also run Thunderbird, TextEdit, maybe Adobe Reader and Excel. But even when I close everything else, the non-loading issue persists. When I shut down Firefox, the memory pressure can go into the red and take a very long time (so I always shut down all other apps first). A recent shutdown stalled & I ended up losing many open pages/tabs, but even the slimmed down load has the same problem.

I have shut off the AddOn NoScript, but the problem persists.
