Firefox Community Forum

My javascript cannot detect the difference beween closing a new preferences tab and a new non domain tab. I believe this is for security reasons. This leads to one of my custom messages popping up when closing a non domain tab, which is not standard behavour on other websites on FireFox. If the user does or does not follow the popup instructions everything works fine. My question is: does this disqualify my website from being posted to the internet for FireFox browsing, or is it tolerable to users and to Mozilla? I have intentionally left out of this post technical information about my javascript. Believe me, I have tried countless ways to code my way out of this situation but due to Firefox's strong security measures, it is impossible. I should mention that perhaps if my script was an addon I would have accesss to the TAbs API which might offer a solution. The purpose of the script is to update the website to changes to the default Browser Zoom Level as found in the prefererence settings. Does anyone know if this purpose is compatible with FireFox Addon developement?Thanks so much for directing me to informed assistance. I hope the post is not "TMI"!!

I cannot access my Yahoo email account currently on desktop computer, using Windows 7 Pro and Firefox 115.37.0esr. The Select Verification Method window appears but the cursor changes from an active hand to just the regular cursor shape and nothing will be active in the window. This isnt a problem on my phone or when using Chrome on the same desktop. Is there any chance of resolving this with these versions of Windows and Firefox?

Hi, for the past month or so I'm not able to reply to emails using Apple Mail on Fire Fox browser. The arrow gets cut off in the upper right hand corner. Also I'm not able to move emails into their appropriate folders by selecting the folder icon in the top middle of the screen.

Windows 11. I am the web manager for tunbridge wells u3a. The site is hosted by the national u3a and uses their templates etc. On edge and chrome, it works fine, but not on Firefox. Several months ago, the page operations (save, open, change, etc took a few minutes to complete, with the message bottom left about waiting for the host site. All of the usual cache clearing, reboots etc made no difference.

This is Firefox on a brandnew Fedora installation. Using Jupyter notebooks on Google Colab, I experience delays when typing into input fields. It's not quite a deal-breaker, but annoyingly sluggish. On a Chromium-based browser, Vivaldi, I don't notice this problem.

My hope is there is a certain overlap of the demographics using Colab, Firefox and Fedora. I wonder if there is a known problem in this area? Is there a configuration settings you can suggest?

Thanks in advance!

Bernd.

I just can't believe after 25 years of using Firefox I have to change to Microsoft browsers. Every website I have an issue with says it's Firefox and their solution is to use Chrome or Edge. Why are you so stupid to allow this happen without an easy fix and no online help to keep longtime loyal users???

You are forcing me to go to the competition for the rest of my life, does that not resonate with anyone there???

Since the last update, I have noticed that some websites/webpages are no longer available, one of which is Lincoln Financial. I can only get so far and I get errors. It is NOT on Lincoln Financial's end, as the site/pages open perfect in Chrome and Safari. This is something new with the security/privacy in Firefox, I am assuming. I need to be able to access this sight, as it is my Long Term Disability site/page, which I need to have communications with.

I think this is going to have to be dealt with on more than a simple help thread. this is going to have to be dealt with with tech support.

I recently made the switch to Firefox full time a few weeks ago, and in that time, I have been getting more and more annoying at how Firefox renders Youtube.com.

If I'm on my feed, and I click to watch a video, watch it and go back, I never know what I'm going to see when it goes back a page. Obviously it goes back to youtube.com, but I never know if it's going to load at the top of my feed, or about ten rows down. Even if I click a video in the very first row, and then go back a page, it may or may not load at the top of my feed. I could also actually click a video on the tenth row, and then when I go back, it might load at the top of my feed, though that is not as common, it has happened. It also sort of, kind of, reloads the page when it goes back, but never goes back to the point on my feed at the spot where the video I just watched is, as Chrome and Brave do.

This is not how Chrome or Brave do things, and yes, I know they use a different engine, and I'm sure that's the reason for this issue. Chrome or Brave, if I'm watching a video and click back to my feed, they are much better at loading what is in cache, even if I the video was on the 100th row. I can then manually refresh if I want to.

I cannot log into Reelgood.com. When I try to login I get the message "Whoops! That email and/or password isn't correct. (Even though they work on Edge.) When I choose "Forgot Password" and send Password Reset Email, I get the message "Fail! We couldn't reset your password. Please try again."

Also I am unable search for movies on the site. When I enter the movies name, I get the bar below the entry with three dots going from left to right like it is trying to find the title. I have tried all of things, run in safe mode, clear cache, remove VPN, clear cookies and site data, Control + F5,

I can get to the individual movie by going directly to the website by changing the url to the movie I want. Since this url goes to Bring Them Downhttps://reelgood.com/us/movie/bring-them-down-2025, I just change the last part to the movie I want and I get to the website I want. But there must be an easier way.

Hi I very often have problems playing videos on X/Twitter but not all of the time. Some videos just won't play but others do no problem. It's very frequent though and i have searched for a solution to this and can't find one.

The "Post" button is off screen on the share popup when I try to share a post in a Facebook group to another group. The problem has been getting worse. Usually I can see a slim piece of the top of the button, but today it disappeared completely. The only way to make it visible is to press Ctrl -. Then select Zoom > Actual size from the menu when I'm finished.
