Popups are happening every 10 seconds continuously! looks like about 20 or more popups describing different problems with 20 digit numbers and letters as a serial number of the problem!

Animation triggers my migraines.

Many, many, many websites trigger zooming animation on mouseover. I can reduce the frame rate to help deanimate this, but I would rather not animate it at all.

On the whole, I think it'd be easier to block all these effects. How can I do that in Firefox?

I'd prefer to still see where links would lead without clicking on them. And I'd prefer to get tooltips working, but I increase mouse cursor sizes, so they're already broken.

Сегодня обновил Mozilla FireFox до версии 146.0 (64-разрядный). После обновления в панели "закладки" (cntrl+B) появился ненужный мне цвет выделения только что открытой мною вкладки (смотри скриншот). Как поменять данный цвет на менее контрастный ? У меня включена "темная тема", цвет выделения - ядовито-голубой. Хочу изменить его на другой более мягкий цвет. Как это я могу сделать?

Today I updated Mozilla Firefox to version 146.0 (64-bit). After the update, the highlight color of the tab I just opened appeared in the bookmarks bar (Cntrl+B) in an unwanted way (see screenshot). How can I change this color to a less contrasting one? I have the "dark theme" enabled, and the highlight color is a bright blue. I want to change it to a softer color. How can I do this?

I just bought my boyfriend a new iMac. We are having trouble loading many sites and platforms using the latest Firefox browser. The list is growing but includes Facebook, Meetup, Wikipedia, chess.com, nytimes.com - in all cases, rather than a login screen, we get an error message or a home page loads with no access to other pages or login area. I've cleared the cache, restarted, tried going directly to the site to log in, but nothing works. Everything is fine when using Chrome, but we prefer Firefox. Is this a conflict in the new Apple OS? Is there a fix?

When trying to log into my work Microsoft Office 365 account on Firefox, a QR Code is supposed to appear, which I scan with my phone and the MSFT Authenticator app logs me in. This doesn't happen in Firefox but instead says, "Touch your security key to continue with login.microsoft.com. I am not using a security key and they are not allowed by my work. This works fine on Chrome based browsers.

Is there some setting that will fix this or is this a bug with Firefox?

Hi. I've downloaded dictionaries and languages, the check spelling option is enabled in the browser settings. However, browser doesn't want to do it automatically. I have to manually enable it with RMB context menu (and re-select languages) for each website individually. Moreover, when the page refreshes, spell checking turning itself off again in RMB menu (but stays enabled in browser options).

  Is this really how it's supposed to work?

Fonts display corrupted on Bookmark Sidebar

Hi! I'm having a really weird problem with fonts in Firefox on my Macbook Pro M1 14-inch 2021. Specifically, the fonts in the bookmark sidebar appear to be corrupted and replaced with nonsense characters that have a lot of accents. I've tried rebooting, clearing all Firefox cookies and site data, reinstalling Firefox from an earlier version on my Apple Time Machine (from a time when I didn't have this problem), checking to see if the problem persisted when all extensions were disabled (it did, even after restart with all extensions disabled), and a reboot in safe mode. The reboot in safe mode temporarily fixed the problem and I was pretty excited, but it came back. I tried updating my Mac from Sequoia to the most recent OS (Tahoe 26.2), and the problem was still there, so I tried rebooting in Safe Mode again and the problem went away, but only while I remained in Safe Mode. This time the problem came back when I reopened in regular mode. So whatever the problem is, it's something that Safe Mode counteracts. Can someone help me figure out what's wrong?
