Hi everyone,

I have been stuck for 3 days now and tried everything to get pass the authentication process.

I want to submit an Add on. On my profile page, 2 step authentication is enabled.

When i click submit new add-on, i am directed to the Enable two-step authentication page anyway. So ok i'll do that:

"Scan authentication code to continue to ⁨Add-ons⁩"

So i use google authenticator. And im able to continue.

Then im presented with "Save backup authentication codes", so i download them and store them.

PROBLEM:

On the next page, in need to "Confirm backup authentication code". ANY code i try, that was given to me in the previous step, doesn't work.

Error: There was a problem confirming your backup authentication code.

• not using caps or whatever
• no spaces in there
• tried all the codes
• tried different browsers
• The time and date are correct on both phone and windows 10

I have NO clue what to do anymore. I can't get passed it. Can someone please advice. (see screenshots)

Since the update to either 140 or 140.0.1 (not sure because I first noticed it in 140.0.1) the marquee does not scroll in on the page when viewed with Firefox, however it does scroll in Edge so it must be a firefox problem. The site is www.maaccordion.com to see the marquee . It also does not scroll in the latest version (at this writing) of 140.0.2

The scrolling has always worked before and it has been on this page (the home page) for quite a few years. Problem only occurred is one of the updates.

Thanks

I am using Firefox v140.0.1 Snap on Kubuntu 25.04, Kernel 6.14. Since the Firefox update in the past couple days, the mouse cursor has started appearing huge and slightly blurry (as though the image is scaled up) in Firefox and nowhere else. The size is visually annoying, and occasionally difficult to know exactly where I'm clicking (trying to move the caret in a text box for example). It also appears to be a different style from the main desktop cursor, the shape and color are ever so slightly different, but this may already have been the case and I simply didn't notice because of the previously small size. Firefox doesn't have its own built in cursor settings that I can find, nor obey the system cursor settings. I have a high DPI display so perhaps it is being over-compensated for? e.g. both the system and Firefox are scaling the cursor up, assuming the other hasn't done it already, resulting in a cursor that's too big.

My screen jumps up and down on some sites, such as Bank of America sign-in page and comics at washingtonpost.com. In the first case, the sign-in box jumps up and down so I sometimes miss the log-in space to enter my UserID. As for the comics, when I scroll down a little to see the comic the whole screen jumps down much further than I want. NOTE: This is the only part of the Post Web site that acts in this fashion.

I had a whole bunch of open Firefox tabs and tab groups all carefully arranged just the way I wanted, then somehow a couple of tabs got moved to a new window (don't know how that happened, I didn't click the "Move Tab" and "Move To A New Window" menu options), and when I was trying to figure out how to move them back (not possible, apparently) the original window got accidentally closed -- and with it all my tabs and tab groups! When I reopened Firefox they just weren't there. Aagh! Clicking on History just shows the last tabs I accessed, not the full arrangement of groups and the many other tabs I haven't accessed in awhile but want to keep at the ready.

Can I get all that back? Or was relying on Firefox to organize my online work a bad idea?

Hello! I've been observing strange behaviour during the startup of a new profile window in Firefox. Before launching there is a split second pop-up with no name and flickering colours. Any idea what that might be? I installed firefox on a different win 10 pc and the same happens there

When using the picture-in-picture feature, the spacebar is meant to be a keyboard shortcut to pause or continue the video. This is shown on the tooltips for the UI elements in the picture-in-picture feature, and on the keyboard shortcuts in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/about-picture-picture-firefox#w_keyboard-shortcuts

However, what actually happens when I press the spacebar key is it instead activates the last UI element to have been clicked on in the picture-in-picture.

For example, if I have last clicked the fullscreen icon to make the picture-in-picture fullscreen, pressing the spacebar will toggle the fullscreen mode, and not pause or continue the video.

I have just updated to 140.0esr (from the 128 esr series). I have letterboxing enabled but it now does not have any top margin. Is there a way to get the top margin back, so that is looks the same it did in 128? I much prefer the letterbox being centered in the window (128) instead of being squeezed to the top (140).

hi in current version of ff on a win 10 pc.
