Firefox Community Forum

Hi Mozilla Team,

I'm currently using Firefox version 142.0 (64-bit) and I'm having trouble setting up a proxy. I've tried configuring it through the usual settings under Settings > General > Network Settings > Settings..., but unable to configure the Proxy in Firefox 142.0 (64-bit), but no luck.

Is there a known issue with proxy configuration in this version? Are there any new settings or changes I should be aware of that might affect proxy setup?

Thanks in advance for your help!

'I am posting this for a third time, because I am absolutely sure it is caused by the latest Firefox update.

I am typing this into Notepad and copy/pasting it to the text box on the site.

I am legally blind, and I am very dependant on the Windows Magnifier. Yesterday I took the latest Firefox update and after installing it, the Windows Magnifier will no longer follow the text cursor on web pages rendered in Firefox. It will follow typing in the address bar and the search bar on the task bar, but it will not on web pages rendered in Firefox.

I do not have this problem with Chrome or Librewolf.

I had made two earlier posts with no response from Support. I have been trying desperately to figure out what waws going on as I was moving links, bookmarks & passwords into Librewolf.

I tried to refresh Firefox. It didn't work. I tried safe mode. It didn't work. I even tried a different profile. It didn't work. I even tired uninstall & reinstall Firefox. It didn't work.

I even called the Microsoft Disability desk and had them check my magnifier settings, and they are fine, and yet even if I toggled them on & of--it still didn't work.

So finally, out of desperation, I did the dreaded System Restore.

I rolled it back to August 18th and sat and waited.

And though I had to relog into Firefox--it worked!

and i have been surfing happily all evening until I loaded the Spotify player page and it wouldn't play. Okay this was weird because I had been using it all week and suddenly it wouldn't play. I did a search, and apparently it wasn't just me. I opened the About Firefox and there it was--the dreaded update.

Believe me, I really didn't want to restaret the browser, but it was doomed to happen anyway.

And guess what--the Windows Magnifier view won't follow the text cursor in web pages rendered in Firefox--Again!

The Spotify player plays again but.....

If you don't believe me, open the Windows Magnifier, dock it on your task bar, and try to type into a web page. The view just goes cockeyed.

So yes, the update has a bug. And for all the people who are visually handicapped and use the Windows Magnifier we are cursing you right now and hoping for a quick fix before we all have to move to Chrome.

You sighted people have no idea how frustrating this is.

At least I'm glad it's not my PC.

But if it doesn't get fixed, I"m absolutely done with this browser. It is now unusable for people with visual disabilities.

Good luck.

Thank you. '

So I just updated to Firefox version 142.0, and noticed there is a picture in picture option in the URL bar now. Don't get me wrong. I get the idea, but it's not for me. Is there an option to turn this off within the Firefox settings? I'm currently still on Windows 10— which I'm grateful Firefox is still supporting at the moment— version 1909 and the picture in picture controls setting is currently unchecked but still shows up in the URL bar for some reason. Can anyone help with this?

I've yet to test on other sites and haven't found any solutions while looking it up, every 3d element is shown as a black box, I don't really have any other way to describe it

Latest version of Firefox browser (142.1) recently installed on my laptop and desktop both running Windows 10. The former continues to support Flightradar 24. The latter no longer does. Message reads 'Unfortunately, your current browser does not support WebGL2 . . . most major browsers (including Firefox) do'! Is there a reason for this anomaly, please? Plus a solution?

today my trusty firefox browser now refuses to load the website https://www.newsmax.com

the browser still loads all the other websites normally the problem persists in troubleshoot mode clearing cache does not help restoring the OS to 3 days earlier does not help

have been using intego antivirus for a few months with no problem newsmax.com continues to load normally on edge browser on same machine newsmax.com continues to load normally on opera browser on same machine

windows7 OS

i have a backup computer in next room also running Win7 and firefox and it loads newsmax.com fine same as usual

makes no sense to me any ideas?

I find many articles that appear on the Firefox new tab page interesting. Since I am not able to get to an article right then, I would like to read them later. Is there a archive or library of all the articles where I can browse through them?

Using an Android tablet (OnePlus tab 3) I can use the pen to write in the address bar but I cannot use a pen to write in any text fields on websites while browsing in Firefox (on google.com for example, or writing this), which works on other browsers like Chrome or duckduckgo browser. The touch input of the pen is recognized to scroll zoom or select text, but not to write. Is this feature not supported on Firefox or am I missing something

Thanks

All of my bookmarks are gone When i click on manage bookmarks it is empty. Ive tried the other things and I cannot get them back. And how do i prevent this from happening on another computer? And can i opt out of updates because it seems like they create more problems for me then what they fix

It will take hours and hours to  get the website back and change all the passwords

On clicking a link, the new tab is not on the right of the former tab. It appears ANYWHERE way down to the right. So I cannot move easily between the first page and the next page. I have to hunt up and down the tabs. I have done the config, no change. I have done the extension, no change. If Firefox will NOT fix this I MUST change as I cannot work with this. I HAVE asked, before, and got no reply! I cannot give you an image, as the 1st tab is in one position and the other way oof to the right.

I am legally blind.

This does not happen in Chrome or Librewolf. I have performed all the usual troubleshooting like safe mode. I had the Microsoft Disability Desk recheck all my settings. And still no luck. It will follow the terst cursor in the address bar and search bar but just not on web pages like YouTube, Amazon, Goodreads et al.

Any help or suggestions would be truly appreciated. Thank you.
