Firefox Tekoha Aty

I have suddenly lost internet access using my Firefox browser. Have been using it for years, and as a senior, non-techie, I don't know what to do. I would like to have a live person talk me through what to do. I am using a Mac BookAir macOSMonterey 12.7.6

Since the most recent update ( or maybe a slightly earlier one,) I am unable to use macros on my Sidewinder X4 programmable keyboard. I can program a macro to a key but it does not work in Firefox. All other programs such as Word, Notepad etc. are fine. I am wondering if something in an update has broken it. It also works OK in Chrome

In the last two versions -- Firefox ESR - 115.34.1esr and 115.35.0esr -- the virtual keyboard (on-screen keyboard) is no longer visible. See attachments - login screen.png and Firefox version screenshot.png

1. Enable the search box to the right side of URL box in browser UI.
2. Open new tab (empty URL box).
3. Press TAB.
4. The search engine SELECTOR becomes highlighted, instead of the search INPUT.
5. Web application software developer is blocked from typing search query right away.
6. Must press ANOTHER TAB.
7. This breaks the workflow. It never used to do this, you could type immediately after tabbing ONCE.
8. Search is disabled in URL box to facilitate local domain resolution/error and NOT trigger fallback searching.

Please revert the behaviour to normal, and make the single TAB operation focus on the search INPUT.

I have just started to receive this message when I try to connect to the Air France website:

I find the new split view feature to be great, however I do find some basic keyboard shortcuts missing.

Things like: Focusing the other view Closing a view Splitting

Would be great to have these basic ones.

The Firefox default behaviour to reload a page for view-source even when it is already in memory is unnecessary and causes many difficulties when tracking CGI bugs.

This unnecessary reloading can be turned off by setting accessibility.blockautorefresh to true.

However, fixing these stupid page reloads this way introduces another hyper-annoying behaviour: then Firefox blocks redirects.

So this accessibility setting is bad in both possible settings. Is there a possibility to prevent reloading pages for view-source while still allowing redirects?

I have dark mode set as a theme and a dark reader extension enabled. As of yesterday, when I open a PDF it always displayed with white text and a black background. I have vision issues and need my PDF'S to be able to easily read.

Hi,

I am testing my website https://www.nextwebi.com

for accessibility and usability in Mozilla Firefox.

While checking, I noticed a few issues:

Keyboard navigation is not working smoothly (Tab key skips some sections) Screen readers are not properly identifying certain buttons and links Focus indicators are not clearly visible on interactive elements

I want to improve the accessibility of my website to ensure it works well for all users, including those using assistive technologies.

Are there any Firefox-specific tools or developer options to debug accessibility issues? Also, what are the best practices to fix ARIA roles and improve navigation?

Thanks for your help.

After moving to a new laptop my Mozilla appearance changed drastically such that often the text is invisible (sometimes clicking on "select all" is a sub-optimal workaround".) Some images are blank spaces. I've tried working with "Website Appearance" in the settings to no avail. Thanks for your help!
