Pressing Alt in Firefox in Linux (Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Linux Mint 22.xx) brings up a top menu, which is hugely annoying as I'm always trying to to a window action if I'm pressing Alt.

The suggested solution is to go to about:config and change ui.key.menuAccessKeyFocuses to "false".

But this keeps reverting itself. (Between every other reboot?). Alt will again bring up this menu.

How can I permanently disable this shortcut?

PG&E is notifying its customers on its website that Firefox (among others) is "unsupported."

   "Your browser is unsupported.
   "Please use a different browser. To learn more, visit pge.com/supported-browsers."

I have not noticed any problems viewing/interacting anywhere on their site and would like to know why they are making this warning. I suspect that Mozilla.org would have a similar concern.

I have ordered some goods online and have been offered the option to track the goods. But I can't, because Firefox thinks the tracking page has a fake certificate.

I can go to the website of the delivery company and it has a box where I can enter the order number. This is ambiguous (more than one supplier uses the company) so it lists the two possibilities. I click on the right one and it is at this stage I get the fake certificate warning. I cannot bypass it, because trying to do so simply brings up the same warning.

I've been in touch with the suppliers. Their customer service desk can track the order with no problem. So where is the problem?

They say they can track it using Firefox on Windows, Android and Mac systems but have no Linux available. I only have two Linux systems here (Ubuntu 22.04 and 20.04), running the latest Firefox on offer (128.0.2 64 bit), both of which throw up the fake certificate problem, but with slightly different certificate dates (within the last 5 weeks), older than the genuine cert. I have pdfs of both the genuine one and one of the fake ones as produced by Firefox.

This is not a show-stopper this time as I can track the order by phone and email, but there is clearly a problem somewhere, either with both the Firefox versions I have or with the certification verification process.

If it's a Firefox issue, I don't know how to let them know.

I work heavily in a site called Xactanalysis for work. This is a product by Xactware that is used for tracking, reporting and uploading estimates for insurance claims. They have released a reporting tool recently within Xactanalysis, and the issue is I cannot use with Firefox browser. This works with Chrome, however I would prefer to use Firefox.

I have entered the website address in the exceptions page, but still won't work. When asking Xactware for assistance they said manage the exceptions and it should work. This still doesn't seem to work, so I am curious if there is anything else I can do?

Everytime I start firefox, none of my previous tabs are re-opened. This is the same even if I ENABLED "Open previous windows and tabs"

What is the problem?

I'm using Firefox version 128.0.2 (64-bit) for Windows OS

If I display (e.g.) Nepal in Google maps, initially the Nepali names appear beneath the Latin alphabet names, but only for a split second. They are then overwritten with unicode block icons. Some scripts work (e.g. Cyrillic, Chinese, Japanese, Armenian), but most south Asian scripts do this weird "works for a split second" rendering.

I'm running 128.8.0esr (64-bit) on Debian 12.

This problem does NOT occur in Safe Mode!

In Normal mode, I disabled all plugins and extensions, but the rendering still breaks.

Any ideas?

The same page renders properly in Chrome 134.0.6998.88
