Hi,
Thanks to Mozilla for continuing to develop such a clean browser, with movies made of GIF instead of much larger files.
So we have developed an extension or add-on for many years using the same method. But recently ( maybe I forgot ), with a new developer profile, I am unable to edit any files because the .xpi extension in the extensions folder, is compressed and cannot be navigated in a file Explorer.
In the past, I just install the extension and change the file extension from .xpi to .zip, and then extract into a folder with the same name. Then delete the .xpi/.zip folder, and the new folder acts as a pointer for the same instance of installation. And I can just modify the files in that folder usually and I don't need to restart the browser to see the changes. But lately I cannot do this.
What is the best way to debug the add-on with the least number of steps?
Thanks,
Josh

The laptop is running V 69.0.2 and somehow, the desktop got on the beta channel (which I have since changed) and is running V 70.0b12. I copied the working userChrome.css file from the laptop to PC, but it just isn't getting read. Anything else that needs to be changed? I hate tabs on top!
Firefox Developer Edition 72.0b1 (64-bit) not working with any streaming sites (except YouTube)

I have been trying - without success - to stream netflix, hulu, hbo go and disney plus using Firefox Developer edition for the last several months. Each time I go to Netflix it tells me the widevine CDM plugin crashes.
I get various errors while trying to view any videos on Netflix, including "your network does not support streaming" - which I know to be false due to the two ROKU devices on two separate TVs in the house, my PS4 and Chrome all functioning properly on my machine.
On disney plus I see Error 83 - and have attached a few screen shots.
I went to the Shaka Player Demo (as referenced in another ticket) and it also crashed with the following error: Shaka Error MEDIA.VIDEO_ERROR (3,,NS_ERROR_DOM_MEDIA_FATAL_ERR (0x806e0005) - void __cdecl mozilla::gmp::ChromiumCDMParent::Shutdown(void): ChromiumCDMParent is shutdown)
I have reset firefox - made sure it's updated to the latest version, unchecked and rechecked the DRM checkbox, erased all and created new profiles several times. downloaded (manually) the widevine latest CDM version (according to firefox) and placed fully downloaded versions of the dll files into the proper directory.
I am still getting errors.
I would prefer to use Firefox if at all possible, as I appreciate the tracking protections it affords. I have also - on a trial basis - excepted Disney Plus tracking protections and content restrictions (autoplay allow, all tracking protections off) and I have no extensions running save my 1password extension.
Thank you for any help you can provide.

After Firefox updated, I can no longer access www.apple.com. This is the error I get now:
Blocked by X-Frame-Options Policy
An error occurred during a connection to idmsa.apple.com.
Firefox prevented this page from loading in this context because the page has an X-Frame-Options policy that disallows it.
Can anyone tell me how to fix this issue as soon as possible. Thank You.

My firefox just started having problems. I cannot open tabs after I close them by mistake. When i open a new tab, it is a blank page, not my last website, and i checked my settings, and it hasn't changed. All of my history disappeared, and no new history ever appears. All my autofills are gone, and no matter how much I try to change the settings, nothing helps. This is very annoying. Oh, also, some websites won't load completely. What can I do, I'm about to switch to Crome...

I was fresh installing windows on my desktop but because i've always used mozilla i never actually checked my password. When i installed it after installing windows i couldn't remember my password so naturally i reset it . But then I noticed that all my bookmarks and saved passwords are gone ( i know why is this and it is totally understandable) so i checked my mozilla on my iphone where i used the same account. All the passwords and bookmarks are still there but i am logged out of the account. My question is if i log in with the current password on the iphone , will the data sync or it will be wiped because of the new password? Is there some way to extract the passwords and bookmarks form my iphone if the way i mentioned above wipes the data?

Steps to reproduce:
- Load a webpage in Firefox - Enter keyboard shortcut Command-Option-M - Drag the side or corner of the Responsive Design Mode Pane to resize it - Hold cursor over the window and attempt to scroll with mouse scroll
Expected behaviour:
- Responsive Design Mode Pane scrolls normally
Observed behaviour:
- Responsive Design Mode Pane does not respond to scrolling attempt
Further observations:
- Moving focus elsewhere (e.g. by clicking in another window) restores normal scroll responsiveness - Resizing the pane breaks it again

I use Firefox for only one feature, which none of the other dimwit companies bother implementing (save Google, who are, well, i don't want to start ranting, so let's not get into that!). The feature is color customizing (I'm distractable and glare-sensitive so white text on a gray is a big deal to me). But the one aspect which i hate, because I'm a green, is its power use. And don't tell me it's due to add-ons, because i've disabled all my addons and it still happens, and it happens when i just start up so it's not build up. This spike to 25% (always 25%!) has happened to me over multiple versions for years- it's a built-in FireFox bug, so please please please don't blame it on others. Just FIX IT! I use FireFox as little as possible and the second some other maker adds white text, i'll ditch Firefox. Because Mozilla, like all institutions suffers from NIH. (Not Invented Here.)

Steps to reproduce:
- With an open Firefox window in the foreground - Enter keyboard shortcut: Command-N
Expected behaviour:
- New window opens with keyboard focus on the location field - Keys enters appear immediately as text in the location field
Observed behaviour:
- New Firefox window opens without keyboard focus in the location field - Keys typed are not entered into the location field
Further observations:
- Entering Command-L focuses the location field as expected - Opening a new *private* window *does* place keyboard focus in the location field - All installed extensions are permitted in private windows

Hello,
Recently when installed and switched from basic FireFox to FireFox Developer, I got enormous time the paint flashing when I switch from one tab to another tab.
Like in the screenshot below, but it gets even worse ... because parts are missing, color red, etc.
I have to refresh the page (f5) to get it normally.
Why is that?

I'm using Firefox Developer 71.0b7 (64-bit). When I click the icon to start the browser, it spawns about 50 processes but never launches. I have to kill the process in the Task Manager and start over. It rarely happens twice in a row.
Any ideas about what's happening? What can I try? Any logs I can read?

Using Firefox Developer Edition version 71.0b11 (64 bit).
I store credentials for the site I visit most frequently. For some of those sites I may have multiple logins. Everything good so far.
Currently, when I'm on the login page for any of those site, the suggested list includes credentials "From this web site" and from other more or less similar websites (e.g. subdomains, internal pages, and so on). Can I disable this option and only see suggestions "From this web site"?
When using "Find in this Page", the "Whole Words" option keeps enabling itself, even though I've turned it off repeatedly, and have never turned it on.
I've checked the setting in about:config, and it's set to default/false, which is what I want. So what is causing it to re-enable itself?

Hi,
I am having problems with Youtube videos stuttering maybe once a minute on version 70. This only happens in Firefox, both chrome and Edge are OK and i have tried completely deleting/uninstalling Firefox (including manually deleting any orphan files in appdata) and starting fresh with no addons installed and it still stutters on all videos i try.
Additionally, i have also tried the latest beta (v71) and this also stutters.
Youtube stats for nerds tells me that i am dropping 0 frames.
Any suggestions would be welcome.

Hi, whenever I want to download something, Firefox shows me a Opening window. If I mistakenly select the "Open with" button, a file is downloaded to my /tmp/ directory and then opened with an application, which takes a huge amount of RAM for stuff like iso.
The another thing is that it's very annoying and takes a lot of time if you want to download many files from many websites. You have to manually choose save file for all the files you download, and the "Do this automatically for files like this from now on" option is greyed out.
Is there a way disable the "Opening" window and just download the files I wish to download?
