First of all, THANK YOU for volunteering. I've donated to Mozilla over the years and appreciate this product. Okay, here's my issue....I'm OLD! HA! Onto the pertinent issue I hope can be solved here:

I use Otter ai to transcribe my healing sessions w/ clients (I'm an energy healer-I see dimensions within the human energy field). I'm a "low-end" user (I just made that up) because it's just me. When I try (operative word) to export and actually hit the "export" button, I get this stupid, crappy, dangling box about ChatGPT (see image below). There's no place to respond yes, no, or to close it out. The only thing I can do is hit "escape" to make it disappear but then I'm kicked out of the export process to view the original screen listing my recent meetings.

Specifics: I have a Macbook Air, macOS Sonoma version 14.4.1 w/ an Apple M1 (no idea what all this but assume it's useful for you). FF is my default browser. I use otter thru FF rather than an app on my Mac. In FF settings I've added otter ai to a list that allows website popups. I don't use Chatgpt or whatever it does on otter. I just want to export the text.

Sadly, otter ai customer support has been dismal. So, I've turned to you folks. I'm not super computer savvy, but hope I've done the basics to rule out issues. Oh, I've also logged out then in to Otter, rebooted my laptop a bunch- all the things to reset. Didn't work.

Thank you for your help!!!! Molly

This morning, my browser was having problems accessing the pages I use at work.

I restarted in Troubleshooting mode, and the problems went away, great.

Now I want to figure out which addon / extension caused the problem.

The "best" way I've found online is to enable half of them and restart in regular mode, if the problem is gone, then enable half of the remainder, see if the problem is gone, etc. until the problem comes back. This involves a lot of restarting and keeping track of which ones have been tested.

What I'd really like is a way to do all this from troubleshooting mode, enabling one addon at a time and testing a certain website until it breaks or I run out of addons, like Git Bisect or similar. Maybe sort the addons in reverse chronological order of addition or update, since the most recently added/updated addons are the most likely to be the problem.

This is one of those times where the feature has to be part of the browser, not an addon. :-)

Is this already implemented and I just haven't looked hard enough or recognized what I was seeing?

Thanks

I've noticed that when using Firefox on Ultrawide 32:9 I get major blurry artifacting across the window and webpages. These can occur on the webpage itself, or they can occur in the URL/Tab bar. Once the window exceeds a certain width (roughly 75% the width of my screen) I begin to see these artifacts (if that's what they're called). If the window is downsized to half, or just slightly under 3/4 the width of the screen, these visual glitches don't appear. I've tried disabling hardware acceleration as recommended, but this doesn't seem to fix the issue or change it in any way. I have a Samsung LS49CG932SNXZA (Odyssey G9 OLED) display running at 5120x1440 240hz on a 4070ti GPU.

I am able to repeat this issue using Amazon as an example website, and I've attached some example screenshots. In Amazon, the issue is obvious and appears across the entire webpage, except for where the cursor has an interaction with the page (such as highlighting text, or hovering over something causing a transition). In the Tab/URL bar, setting the window as wide as possible and then hitting the WIN button to open the Start Menu seems to cause the issue 100% of the time. Running my cursor across a blurry section of the Tab bar seems to temporarily revert a portion of the it to looking normal again. If there's any more information I can give, or anything else I can try, please let me know.

I also found this reddit post, which seems like others with ultrawide displays may also have this issue without a fix. https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/1bcrsy8/ui_and_text_is_blurry_with_ultrawide_5120x1440/

Firefox start crashing after the recent update, I use trial and error and figured it's specifically Youtube. Browsing on other sites, even watching videos from other sites has cause zero issues so far. All my recent crashes all states: "EXCEPTION_BREAKPOINT"

my last three recent reports: https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/4728ddd7-dac7-40a0-89d0-823fa0241008 https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/6b646b7c-bc88-44a9-9d57-4b6360241008 https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/2db09a8d-e049-4753-a9dd-9a4750241007

Hi

I recently did a Clean install on my Windows 11 machine and downloaded/installed Firefox. Now when i sign in to my Mozilla account so i can sync back the extensions and bookmarks that i had it seems like it don't restore the information. I am sign in to the right account. What have happen whit all the information that is associated whit that account? Is everything deleted?

One of the things I heavily rely on with FireFox is it storing words I type in reply boxes on various forums. Lately however, Firefox only seems to keep them for several hours, then they disappear. For example, I can type in "K Frame." (See image attached) The next time I go to use that field again, that text will automatically appear. And it may continue to do so for several hours, even if I close out Firefox and return later, but eventually, within 24 hours, it will disappear and I will have to retype it again the nest time I want to use that phrase. FireFox used to hold these words or phrases forever.

Any suggestions????? Both my Windows 11 and Firefox are up to date.

I'm using this shortcut all the time and I recently found out it doesn't work as expected. From the Firefox documentation the ctrl+shift+t should re-open the latest closed tab, but this is not the case for me, it always re-open the latest closed window. Which behave exactly as ctrl+shift+n.

From my short research it's not possible to customize Firefox shortcuts without using an extensions, therefore I also don't know how to verify if the shortcuts have changed just form my browser/configuration.

I have just had Windows 11 reinstalled on my Laptop, I synced everything over from my desktop but Setup VPN and Hoxx icons which would be with other add-ons are missing, I emailed both suppliers. I followed their instructions and found that both add-ons are enabled but no icons. I don't appear to have any overflow, no '>>' I tried uninstalling them but still no icons to enable me to use these.

The problem I encounter has happened since I begin to use Firefox on Windows 11. The same problem happened to my Macbook as well, but a workaround is available. While with Windows 11, I can't find the solution anywhere on the web. Whenever I type on the browser, if I write a non-character notation right behind the word (like "this,"), the word would usually auto delete itself or sometimes, the word clone itself out (e.g, wordword, thisthi, etc.) or it deletes a small section of words right behind that non-char. I don't have insert turning on. I am quite uncertain whether you can reproduce this error on your laptop (for me, I have been through 2 windows 11 laptop and this error still persist). This error seems to only occurs for Vietnamese (Telex and VNI) default keyboard from Microsoft, Russian and English work fine. I suspect that it is caused by Microsoft Vietnamese, but I have unchecked all kind of spelling checking on settings. So should I use a third-party Vietnamese language typing for this situation or does it caused by something else?

bold textUpon restarting and opening Firefox it always opens in a small screen. I need to change the default. opening settings in Firefox or MacOS but cannot find anything. I have emptied my history and cache without improvment.

For the past several days I have not been able to access articles or sign in at the New York Times using Firefox. I am not sure which if any settings I may need to change. Is there someone in Seattle I can reach?

This latest version doesn't work properly, (unable to download videos), and i want to return to the earlier version but i don't remember what it was. How do i find out my previouse version? Only the supported mac versions are listed on the older versions download site. How can i access all firefox versions through 131,0? Thank you for the help, you are most kind. mac os sonoma 14. firefox ver 131.0; Hank H

I keep the browser open and at some time my C drive has limited disk space.(~100mb) Then extensions stop working and after a browser restart, all extension data are lost. In my opinion current extension data shouldn't be lost even if disk space is limited.

I have a odd issue where, whenever i click one of the buttons on my mouse, Firefox either goes a page forwards or backwards depending on which mouse button i click. When it goes a page forward, but it's not available, it instead goes back to the Firefox homescreen. I've had to rewrite this several times because whenever i click on a new section to type, it goes back a page.

This issue happens at random. Sometimes i will click on a empty spot on any site and only on the 10th click will it go a page back, but other times it happens instantly.
