"Cobrowse" on US Bank Website doesn't work, Using Firefox 117.0 (64-bit) for Ubuntu

On the US Bank website (http://www.usbank.com/), there is a "cobrowse" feature that apparently uses javascript. It doesn't work with standard settings.

Attempting to invoke it only gets a blue rectangle around the "cobrowse" link at the bottom left of the page, and displays "Javascript" in the lower left corner.

It should display a validation to allow the technician to follow and assist your actions on the site.

JavaScript is enabled.

I would like to use this feature.

The "automatic zoom" seems to regularly zoom to a level that will cut off text far down on a page.

I'm not sure how "automatic" it is as it mostly seems to be a slightly zoomed in level compared to page fit. From the name it sounds like it should detect where there is text on a page and hide some air in headers/footers. However, even in cases where it cuts off right as the text cuts off, it's often unclear if there's a following line or empty footer space following the last visible line.

As it is I'll switch to page fit for default, but it would be preferable if the out-of-the-box experience either did a better job of not cutting off right before the text ends; at that point both page fit and width fit are better default options.

The examples are from a zoning proposal in Oslo.

When you download and click on a file without the program to use it installed, the KDE portal opens up, and the only option is to go to the discover store to get the required program since you dont have anything else that's usable. However, the new program does not show up in this window, and the window to choose the associated program cannot be closed.

So, to get it to go away, I chose to associate .pptx with the dolphin browser temporarily so I could choose the correct program afterwards. After going into the firefox settings (General>applications) and setting the powerpoint files to open with ONLYOFFICE, it still ignores my changes and opens up the dolphin browser every time. I set the normal linux file association to ONLYOFFICE, so clicking on the file outside of firefox opens the correct program. I tried uninstalling firefox and deleting "all" associated files through the discover store, and still had the same problem upon reinstalling. I can clearly see there are some remaining Mozilla files on my drive despite the fact I said to delete all of the associated files, but for some reason I do not have permission to delete them, no matter what I try.

When downloading and clicking a .pptx file through chromium, the correct application loads right away, so this is clearly a problem with only firefox not updating its file associations despite me repeatedly trying to do so through the system settings.

what i tried:

• ram is working correctly
• disks are working correctly
• troubleshoot mode (yes, still crashes in)
• CPU stress test went okay
• GPU stress test went okay
• disabling/enabling hardware acceleration

So, the problem is my volume in only fierfox became reaaaly low, idk why, then when trying to find a solution i was made aware of a volume icon, to understand that I do not have it. Then i searched for : System Preferences, Sound, Output and check "Show volume in menu bar", but i don't find system preference, nor tools, or About, or just Preferences anywhere, i am so very lost. the settings seams very limited, and i dont find anything in the toolbar. I use fierfox Version 117.0 on linux

sorry for potentially bad English.

Ubuntu 22... Firefox was frozen, i closed it. couldnt open it again. Restarted pc.. kys.db last edited by firefox 1 week ago. I lost all my passwords, bookmarks, places... Files are changed 1 week ago.. No copies on mozilla folder... No fucking nothins... There is no copy of them, i changed it 3 days ago and Fx crashed...

Some companies gonna ask me for my personal id, finger print and photos.... Are you fucking serios? Where are my passwords?

I need them, now!

On Ubuntu, drag and drop has broken for me. My mouse cursor does not seem to react to different types of content, like hovering over links. My main problem is that if I highlight a piece of text, or some other content block on a page, and drag it, it does not work as smoothly as it should.

Has anyone else experienced this recently?

I find closing Firefox helps temporarily but within 10-15 minutes the same problem occurs.

I have re-installed Firefox and I am running the latest version. I haven't experienced the problem in Safe Mode.

It only occurs on Firefox and is browser-wide.

Why won't firefox display the graphic version of the Fox News web page unless I turn off the "Block dangerous and deceptive content" feature? Is Mozilla being political?

I had a FireFox installed on my Windows 10that I had several important tabs open and now after installing a Manjaro linux, I've lost my access to the Windows. It happened around 6 months ago. Now I wanna reinstall a new Windows OS but wanna save my open tabs list somewhere so that I can restore them after reinstallation. Where are they strored/saved?

Why does firefox constantly ask for capchas on VPN when doing searches on Google? It is a serious problem. The vpn is for my security, not google.com

Until recently, this extension had worked well on YouTube, where downloading videos has usually worked for years without an issue.

However over the past month or so, when using the Linux system, it's become impossible to download any video from YouTube, without an error popping up after a couple of seconds.This occurs whatever choice of aspect for a video is available, be it in mp4 or mkv format. I should emphasize that this issue only seems to occur on YouTube. Other unrelated sites that host video-sharing still work with Linux.

In Windows 10, Video DownloadHelper with YouTube still seems to be working as normal. So any ideas why I can no longer use this extension with Linux and YouTube?

Regards,

Just keep on doing what it is that you are doing.

I am rather old. I picked up Mozilla when it was on X 10. I do not have a complaint. Only dark mode. I had cataract surgeries, the plastic lenses now have cataracts too. Really! The WHITE screen is painful.

But, Firefox seems to work, and it works well. It is well organized, methodical, nothing to complain about. Yes, I am recognizing the spell checker. Yes, I am ranting. Yes, I am done!

Thank you!

I use Linux, but know nothing about it. My brother installed Mint on my desktop; he was my Computer Guru, but he has passed away. I need to update from FF88 to at least 99. Can you help me, please? Many thanks if you can.

In Firefox v102.14.0esr on Debian Linux 12, 0) I disable all extensions 1) I press CTRL+SHIFT+DELETE and clear all history (i.e., Everything) 2) I open a new tab and type discounttire.com 3) I am shown a blank white page

In Google Chrome, 4) I disable all extensions, clear all history and cookies etc 5) I open a new tab and type discounttire.com 6) I am taken to a visible discount tire webpage

Why is Firefox not working? How do I get Discount Tire webpage to show on Firefox?

OS - LinuxLite 6.4 fully updated as of this writing FF - 117.0

I just created a new installation of LinuxLite. Upon finding that Firefox was no longer the default browser I installed it. Apparently snapd is a pre-req and it too was installed. The installer does not automatically create a link to launch it and I have to do a search for FF. When I launch it, it seems to run fine. However when I try to restore my bookmarks from a recently created backup, which came from another system, I cannot. From bookmark manager when I select restore and then choose file, nothing happens. No popup window to select the file appears. Likewise when I try to import from an HTML file and choose file, again nothing happens. I imported the bookmarks to Chrome from the HTML file then tried to have FF import from another browser but FF says it can find NO other browser with bookmark, history or password data. Any suggestions?

For the last week or so, I've been getting these popup ads for Builder's Warehouse whenever I open Firefox (see screenshot attached). However, - the ads aren't "in the browser" window they're right at the top of my screen - There's no options I can find to see any information about where the ad comes from - The ad usually disappears quite fast, preventing me from investigating further I don't imagine it could be being shown by Google because it appears without me opening Google. So it kind of seems like it's probably being done by the browser. But I also struggle to believe that Firefox would be purposefully showing me such invasive advertising. So I'm guessing it's malware. But I don't know. Please help me to understand: - Where does this ad come from? - If it's malware, any ideas how to get rid of it? - If it's Firefox, and they're being shown because of a mistake on my part, how do I turn them off?

Thanks

playing video on YouTube is sometimes choppy

Most of the videos I watch on Youtube play normally, without any problems, but some play choppy, as if they lag, this is very rare on YouTube, for example, a couple of days ago I opened a video, it's choppy, and now I opened it, it's going fine, when I open a private window and go to a very well-known site, all videos without exception lag
