Firefox Community Forum

I followed the instructions to access Mozilla Firefox and nothing happened. Then there are unlimited instructions that lead me nowhere? It used to be so simple. That was the original Microsoft approach for new users.

Good morning. I'm trying to configure my shortcuts on my home screen. Specifically, I want the shortcut button's icon to display the website's favicon, rather than just the default circle with a letter. I set the custom icon field for the button (as an example) to:

https://www.notationtraining.com/favicon.ico

I have verified that this favicon exists and I can load it into a separate firefox tab. However, it won't display in the shortcut button. I've tried restarting and trashing some caches without success.

Where am I going wrong? I'm on FF 151.0.4 for Mac OSX 26.4. Thanks, Eric

Estoy observando un comportamiento específico en Firefox que no logro reproducir en otros navegadores basados en Chromium.

Escenario de prueba:

Sitio web con un visor panorámico personalizado. Imágenes panorámicas de aproximadamente 4.500 px de ancho. Movimiento horizontal continuo y lento. Sin reproducción de video ni elementos pesados adicionales.

Resultados observados:

En Chrome, Edge, Brave y Opera el desplazamiento es fluido desde el primer instante. En Firefox el desplazamiento comienza con pequeños tirones o saltos visibles. Los tirones disminuyen progresivamente y desaparecen después de aproximadamente 4 a 12 segundos, dependiendo de la cantidad de panorámicas activas. Una vez estabilizado, el movimiento es completamente fluido. El comportamiento se reproduce incluso utilizando una sola imagen panorámica. Si existen varias panorámicas, el síntoma vuelve a aparecer cada vez que una nueva imagen entra en pantalla.

Pruebas realizadas:

Se descartó que el problema estuviera relacionado con transiciones entre imágenes. Se descartó que estuviera relacionado con programación o temporizadores. Se probó con una sola imagen activa. Se probó utilizando distintos métodos de desplazamiento. El comportamiento sigue siendo exclusivo de Firefox.

La impresión es que Firefox requiere algunos segundos para estabilizar el renderizado o la decodificación de imágenes panorámicas anchas antes de alcanzar una animación completamente fluida.

¿Existe alguna recomendación específica para animaciones panorámicas continuas de gran ancho en Firefox?

I have finished my setup. But it keeps saying "finish setup" in the upper right corner of the browser. I have completed all the steps. I want to sync this desktop to my mozilla account. What do I do?

Hello. I added some controls like zoom control to firefox toolbar and it's work while firefox is opened. after closing and re-opening the firefox, those controls will disappear. what's the problem?

My files are stored on external hard drives within Dropbox. The hard drives are mapped to my computer. I can no longer attach files from these drives to anything through Firefox. I can still attach through Chrome, Bing, Safari etc. Any suggestions how to solve this problem. I am NOT attaching through the Dropbox website. I am attaching through the full path showing drive etc. Thank you.

Hi

I don't know which wrong manipulation I have done, but the "+" sign to create new tabs has disappeared.

Could you please help me to get it back ?

(I know that I can right-click and choose "new tab" in the menu, but the "+"sign is definitely more convenient 😅)

Thanks in advance ! :)

Why won`t my emails come up, after 16 years of being with Mozilla thunderbird? Keeps saying server not found.

Don`t try to email me with response, as I can`t get them!!!!!

Hello, I recently used Firefox to either open, save, or both screenshots (using windows key) that changed the files to png. Png will not print on the printer I used so I've tried searches online, Mozilla, pc settings, but can't seem to undo, that is restore the screenshot to its original setting*. I have used an app to convert some png back to jpg but that's just one more computer hassle I don't need. *I've thought about restoring all settings to default but I couldn't begin to say what other acceptable changes I might have made.

The PC used to save as jpg or pdf but either one would work.

Yes, I have carefully followed whatever directions were given, pretty sure, anyway. This note is two hours after my first question. And, yes, I am a simple person.

Thank you.

The VPN is supposed to show in another country, but the website in question does not recognise it is in that country. (BBC iplayer) BBC.co.uk works as it is thinks it is in the UK, but the iplayer does not.

I use Thunderbird and Firefox as my default browser. When I open a pdf file in Thunderbird, a new tab opens with the pdf document but Firefox stays in the background. I have to click on the tab to view the document. I don't remember it being like that before. Is there a way to adjust the settings in Firefox (or Thunderbird) to allow the browser to come to the front right away?
