Since 106.0.1 was installed the NY Times acrostic no longer shows a grid for solving the puzzle. Also, the Oregonian newspaper online no longer has arrows to move to the next or previous page of the paper. These things continue to exist on Chrome. I have other problems with this version but these are the major issues at present.

Also, I cannot check the box below for emailing me when someone answers my question. Please send me an email anyway.

My email address is: abworldwide@icloud.com

I always use Firefox - last week opened Google Maps in Firefox- no problem - it worked fine - was in English - all good! This week - opened Google Maps - and all by itself there is an account of a person (not me) in Thai. I don't speak or understand Thai so I can't even try to get out of this persons account or eliminate it (not to mention - why is it there in the first place??? It just magically appeared???) By chance - I tried Google Maps in Safari (which I never use) - the account came up - NOT under this alien persons name - just regular Google Maps in English. I was able to utilize it - no problem.

This is extremely bizarre - I don't want to use Safari - but apparently Firefox has screwed up here (on it's own it has put this account into my machine - why?) - or possibly it's Google who screwed up which wouldn't be surprising. A person cannot contact Google - they are so arrogant they just have the attitude - we are Google - use our stuff - and the hell with you - nice!!! However - if Safari is just getting the regular Google Maps site - why is Firefox opening Google Maps in an alien account - like mentioned - I just went in like regularly and this alien account appeared.

I never use any of Googles services - I do have an OLD account there - but don’t even remember the user name or log-in. I don’t like their company - they are overbearing - dictatorial - and intrusive - so why bother with them. But no clue why this alien account would have been attached to my computer - not there one week - and then there the next out of the blue???

At any rate - is there any way to get rid of this alien account in my Firefox browser - I am not a computer wiz - but can follow instructions on how to do things easily. Maybe the Firefox cache needs to be cleared - I don’t know (?) - nor do I really know how to do that. Or why the cache would be storing information that shouldn’t be on my machine in the first place??? Thanks!

This green cursor does nothing, it just blinks, it's always there. I researched it, but while there were references to it, most replies misunderstood the issue. The cursor just sits there and blinks in the upper left. I only have a few add-ons, and all are recommended by Mozilla, no issues with them. Does anyone know how to get rid of it? Thanks.

Hi, Windows 11, Firefox 106.0.1 (64-bit).

Don't know what I've done but my browser window isn't displaying the full screen. I use my laptop connected via HDMI to my television (and have been for years) along with a wireless keyboard.

Attached images include:

  • Image at 100%
  • Image at 80%
  • Scale at 150% (recommended)
  • Text setting is at 140%
  • Advanced Display Info

For whatever reason, the right side of browser windows is being clipped off. Full screen doesn't help.

  1. Changing the screen size from 100% to 80% (Ctrl -, and - again) doesn't help.
  2. The scale setting in Windows is at 150% (the recommended setting), as always.
  3. The text setting is at 140% (I can make it smaller or larger with no change in behavior), but what I can comfortably see is 140%).
  4. I've included the Advanced Display Info page from the Systems Info.

Anyway, it's probably a setting I'm unfamiliar with, but I don't know for certain. Thank you in advance.

Hello,

I am sure this question has been asked before but I looked and looked and still can't manage to find an answer. My laptop decided to die on me and I am still figuring out if they I can migrate the hard drive. I went and bought a new one. I had two Firefox windows open with a lot of tabs in them that I would like to restore, and have not succeeded. I was able to restore my Chrome window and tab by going into "History" and choosing other devices. But, I did not find the same capability in FIrefox unfortunately. All it would let me do is view a few random tabs, but not restore my still open sessions in my my other laptop as is.

Is there a way I can restore them keeping in mind that I can't access my old laptop at all anymore so exporting/importing is not an option unless I am missing something?

Thank you for your help.

I want my browser window to look like all my other windows. Why did you force these stupid themes on users? Why do developers always want to to tell/force others how they should use their computer?

COLOR CHANGES SHOULD HAVE BEEN AN OPTION, not a mandatory change. Realize YOU do not know how EVERYONE else wants to use their computer or have it look. Like, oh say, STANDARD WINDOWS formatting LIKE ALL MY OTHER WINDOWS. I LIKE IT THAT WAY. I don't care if you think that's boring, its not YOU using the computer.

SO - looking through all the searches MANY ARE REALLY UPSET, and there isn't an answer. SO What is the fix to get rid of the stupid themes? And don;t say "Oh, well maybe you will like nnnnn theme!" I KNOW what theme i want - I want it to match ALL MY OTHER WINDOWS. REALLY simple, yet your developers couldn't figure that out?

Or is only fix finally just switching to using chrome? Is that what you are trying to do?

FIX THIS.
