Note: the following is an editted version. 20250706 13:02

when i MUTE some tabs (using the native FF tab mute icon on the tab) sound is muted for just that tab. HOWEVER, it also mutes ALL SYSTEM sounds.

This occurs both with my regular profile and using a default profile for my version (which has NO ADDONS).

It seems to depend on the type of delivery of the music. (Or something!)

This occurs for the following URLs:

   https://14223.live.streamtheworld.com/WRTI_CLASSICAL.mp3
   https://areena.yle.fi/podcastit/ohjelmat/57-llL6Y4blL

However, rather interestinly, it DOES NOT OCCUR for the "standard" WRTI radio station:

   https://www.wrti.org/classical-playlist-search
it seems UNREASONABLE THAT A WEB SITE SHOULD BE ABLE TO EXERT ANY CONTROL upon system sounds.   So, I must presume this is a FF bug; however, I have not posted it as such (having no confirmation from others).

FF 139.04 Windows 10 pro

I'm having issues trying to use the manage colors settings for contrast control. I've been experimenting with changing the boxes for text and background under the "link colors" column, but I don't understand what the second column of boxes on the right side are. I'm actually trying this as a work around for an issue with visited link colors under the use system settings option--they turn purple against a black background so they're almost unreadable. I've asked about this before with no solution. Thanks for any help Karen F,

Whatever update that happened recently destroyed everything I used Firefox for, everything. How can I get it all back? It seems there is no going back?

How did Mozilla left this get by? If I have to rebuild everything it will take years.

I may as well use a more worthy browser. I am so angry. I've lost links to so many family items like the burial site of my birth father. So, many things gone. I'm stunned and crushed over this.

I trusted Mozilla. Now i can't trust Mozilla.

To sign into my Amazon account, I'd like to enter only my email address and my password.

But I have to enter my email address and my passkey. A verification code is then sent to my email address. I then need to enter that verification code to complete signing into Amazon.

On the Amazon's Sign in page (where I enter my passkey), it says "This request comes from the app 'firefox.exe' by "Mozilla Corporation".

How do I disable the two-factor (aka two-step) authentication for Amazon in Firefox?

Where do i go to see if rumbletalk.net and rumbletalk.com is "white listed"??

7/06/2025 UPDATE: well now there isnt even a Rumle chat window showing. On July 2nd there was a blank square for the chat convo, but now there's nothing about a chat even available. There's an ad there where the chat window was.

I'm thinking that the last update changed this. I tried Crome but there's not chat there either. Help groups say I need to make sure rumble.com and rumble.net are "white listed"..... WHERE do I find this setting???

I cannot use Firefox if I want to use Amazon. There is writing on the website but nothing remotely like their normal website. No pictures or graphics, just words. I have attached a screenshot to give you some idea. The picture is small so maybe you can enlarge it. Thank you.

HI,

I updated recently the Firefox installation on my Mac to 139.0.1. I noticed that I can no longer print from certain websites using Firefox. One example is from Alaskair, where I tried to print a ticket and it was just sitting there trying. I had no problem printing the same with Safari.

Is this a known problem? Any suggestion (other than just give up on Firefox and use Safari) for what to do about this?

Every time I update Firefox, new bugs cause annoying problems. That's why I usually not updating for a long time.

Thanks.

Problems:

  1. The New Tab page doesn't show background images - doesn't go into Light Mode
  2. When Light Mode is enabled, certain UI related to Firefox-related pages break

Did I accidentally touch some CSS or about:config elements I wasn't supposed to? I honestly don't know lol


Additional Notes:

  • Applies to custom and default backgrounds (the author's info shows up)
  • "Reset to default" didn't help
  • I removed all extensions
  • Themes work fine - Issue happens with or without them enabled
  • Everything else on New Tab works fine
  • Provided screenshots showcasing it all (including Light Mode oddities)
