Hello! Today I stuck with problem in my system: after minor package update, hardware acceleration was broke. In past, I stuck with same problem after total pc upgrade (AMD -> NVIDIA GPU, another might be unnecesary), and somehow I fixed it, but i dont remember what exactly fixed it. Can someone please help me turn hardware acceleration on this time? My searching the key arround didn`t helped, but i found in about:support line which notes that firefox unrecognized my videocard etc. My specs: kernel: 6.17.1-zen1-1-zen driver: nvidia-dkms-580.95.05-1 videocard: GTX 1080 TI DE: gnome 49 with Wayland

Steps that i have tried: Tried to make all as wrote in archwiki Tried to install an nvidia vaapi implementor Made some random steps from internet, without effect(maybe thats why hardware acceleration doesent work??)

theres also about:support page attached

Running Firefox 140.3.1 ESR on Debian, lately I've been experiencing a bug when I have several instances of Firefox open, and multiple tabs open in each instance. After a few minutes of browsing and opening and closing tabs, I am unable to drag tabs to rearrange them (above the address bar). The "X" that is part of the tab also doesn't work to close the tab, and clicking the main "hamburger" menu icon (three horizontal lines) does not drop down the menu. If I switch to a different instance of Firefox that is already running, sometimes the "hamburger" menu icon starts working (sometimes not), and I am able to exit and restart Firefox, which works for awhile, and then a few minutes later the same thing happens again. Interestingly, when it's not working, I am still able to "right-click" on the tab and choose "close tab" from the drop-down menu.

I've been trying to discern a pattern, but have not been able to find a way to reliably reproduce the error. It often seems to happen when I'm using Reddit or Craigslist (maybe only more noticable because I often open and close a lot of tabs on those two sites). At one point I thought it might be related to opening a new tab for a site that had previously been opened in another Firefox window (instance), but that may be a false lead, because I haven't been able to find a way to consistently trigger the bug.

Thank you for maintaining the best privacy-respecting browser in the world, an indispensable tool for me.

Hi, can the function mention above be remove or flag off somehow? For me watching icon is already enough. cause when hover the side of the website to navigate accidentally expand the sidebar and in some time is just expand many times probably due to a bug.

When I do "save as " action for an image in the browser it opens dialogue window to save selected image. Unfortunately it displays files and folders in some random order, rather than my preferred order (sorted alphabetically by name, followed by sorting by type).

I can see no rhyme or reason to the way Firefox lists files and folders in the dialogue window, so every time I am saving an image I have to sort things by name and type before I can find what I want.

This is not permanent so I have to repeat this action every time I save an image.

How do I, please set application preferences? to make this setting permanent?

Firefox declare to be aware of privacy but as soon as I use Firefox to go on the internet, I immediately get connections from these 2 addresses : 34.107.243.93 34.107.221.82 in addition to the address of the site I connect to.

And sometimes, I receive so many connection attempts on ports that are not implied in the connection I have established with the initial site (conntrack) that I am obliged to disconnect the network.

This does not happen with other browsers like Konqueror, Falcon, etc. I suffered an attack in this way in the past with heavy consequences. Is there a way to configure Firefox in order to suppress it ?

When I use on line banking and I want to look at a check, I can not get Firefox to render a check image. Also I downloaded tickets to an event and FF would not render the Q-code on the tickets. I what to know what settings to change in order to do online banking. BTW it works in Chromium Browser, but I do not use it and have little knowledge about Chromium, I just have it on my laptop for troubleshooting.

I just had to sign in to this forum although I had never logged out. I am using Firefox 143.0.3 (64-bit) on Linux Mint 22.2. It is not the first time I am having to login again in one-by-one the sites I visit. And before anything else, I have not changed any of my privacy settings and no new profile has been created due corruption of my default one. It is not the first time this happens lately. Any chance with the Firefox update? I think I installed one quite recently.

When using version 143 on linux and PIP is open and I go to another workspace the PIP does not show on any other workspace other than the workspace it is already on. This does nt occur with Chromium browsers as there PIP follows on any workspace.

What should happen is the PIP in firefo should always appear on the displayed screen I am working on.

Подскажите! Почему не отображаются favicon в закладках? На первом скриншоте favicon есть на втором скриншоте когда я закладку переложил в папку favicon уже исчез!

Help! Why aren't favicons showing up in my bookmarks? The favicon is there in the first screenshot, but when I moved the bookmark to the folder in the second screenshot, the favicon was already gone!

Hello, recently started using group tabs v143 - very cool!

One thing I noticed is that when I close all the ungrouped tabs I was just using, FF will then open one of the grouped tabs. I assume this was the last grouped tab I used, which may not be today, and not what I want to do right now. Is there a way to have FF not go into a group after that last ungrouped tab was closed - maybe just open a new blank tab or homepage? If not possible now, where do I add this to a feature/setting wishlist? Cheers!

I opened Firefox on one of my computers as usual today but the whole performance changed. Used to go to my home tab and select various news sites to see what was happening. First, when I scroll down the bookmarks, I would hit the "news" and click on it so all the sub items would stay in the scroll, but instead of that, it wanted to open every item as a new tab. When I finally started opening the various news outlets, it opened them in new tabs, it had always opened in the same tab. Then, I couldn't close the various tabs it had opened. I would go to the tab and hit the "X" but it didn't close the tab. I had to use a drop down menu to close a tab. And when in a site, I used the scroll button on the mouse, instead of scrolling, it made the page larger or smaller instead of going up or down. What could make such a change in behavior? I opened up the 'settings' on it and looked at 'tabs' and they were the same as the ones that are on this computer that works as expected. Both computers have it set to open all previous windows and tabs. Both have the same settings for 'tabs' and 'browsing'. I don't get it. Both are version 143.0.3 (64-bit) I have Ubuntu OS.
