Completely bizarre behavior that I cannot explain or find any google matches for. When I enter a search term in Mail, I don't even have to hit enter, it shows up in Firefox's search field as soon as I make Firefox the active application (iMac desktop). It happens if I have the Firefox search bar open, or if I open it (Cmd-F) afterwards. It happens in Private Browsing. E.g. if I clear the Firefox field, go to Mail, type some letters into the search field, as soon as Firefox becomes the active window, the search term is populated.

I will entertain any explanation or suggestion, whether based in reality or not. FWIW I'm running Malwarebytes unpaid version so I have some sorta protection. For FF extensions I have Ublock origin, FB Purity, and FB container. I tried turning them off; no change. I didn't try restarting FF after turning them off though, too many tabs needed right now.

thanks, jim

I can't use Google search, Java not running yet it was the other day, I have 'Open264' plug-in, in 'about-config' Javascript.enabled is set to 'true'- I tried toggle it and re-booted but still same.

Then, I tried in browser 'safe-mode', lo and behold that solved the problem.... why is this? What I didn't mention is before doing all this I tried Java script and that work OK.... but not Google search.

Thanks, Dave

Been using Firefox(DuckDuckGo) for months now, and after a recent FF update, I cannot log in to my Paramount+ account. I don't know if it's a FF problem, but I have cleared the cache, reset FF, cleared all extensions, yet the only way to watch a program from Paramount+ on my PC as before, is to use Google..YUCK...!!LOL...! Any ideas as to what may be happening...?

Confused... :-(

I'm trying to use a script which requires a question mark after the "dot com." I.e., if the url should be http://www.URL.com?custom_URL, it changes it to http://www.URL.com/?custom_URL. How to I keep it from changing the URL - and what is the point of jamming that slash in there in the first place?

This is my second attempt at getting an answer. Can't anyone help me with this?

Good day

My Bookmarks in 134.0.1 Firefox Release January 14, 2025 V have disappeared to about 80% in the side and in the toolbar and cannot be changed: i.e. I tried to import a brand new working JSON file - it is not possible to restore! It is neither possible now to edit the toolbars. My OS is Win11 Pro from Win 10. Please advise a.s.a.p. Thank you.

Keep getting error message that "cannot open firefox because a copy if already open. Only one copy can be open at a time." And there is NO firefox app open. I tried deleting the app and re downloading/installing again, but that didn't work.

Help and suggestions please?

Hi, FF updated to version 134.0.1 and the password generator is gone. I checked, the web page does uses correctly input type="password", but when I right click on the input form field, it doesn't have the usual "suggest secure password" anywhere. In about:config, the signon.generation options are all set to true. Any ideas, how can I generate a secure password without any external tools? Thx.

So lately can't save bookmarks anymore not even to anywhere, what happened with version 115 running windows 7? Tried even saving all bookmarks and still nothing, even extensions won't save bookmarks...

Second website I've encountered in just a few days where Firefox will not display the article that appears below the initial screen. Both sites use the "down arrow" symbol at the bottom of the page to indicate that the reader needs to scroll down to continue viewing. When I scroll, there is no article, just a jumbled version of the menu information at the bottom of most websites. Edge and Chrome display the article properly.

Here's the latest site with that problem: https://www.defensenews.com/naval/2023/10/04/can-the-us-navy-save-money-by-accepting-the-lcs-as-a-sunk-cost/.

Any help is appreciated.
