Themes don't stick
I choose a theme, and it disappears a few minutes later (Mac). Why? It doesn't matter what theme I choose; they all disappear.

I've found a solution to the blurriness of the emojis, I've put it in the end of this post, in bold ⤵⤵⤵
My problem is that emojis look bad on Firefox compared to Edge_128.0.2739.79. Two screenshots are attached of bing.com & a Google Doc (left half of both pictures is Edge, other half Firefox). The problem persists on all the sites to a varying degree.
Steps to replicate: A] Open 2 sites in latest Edge & Firefox on Windows 11 (the examples that I've used in the screenshots): https://www.bing.com/ and an Empty Google Doc. B] In the search field of bing and in a new line in an empty Google Doc, copy the following example emojis (That were inserted using the 'Windows_Key+V' which summons the emoji Keyboard of Windows): 🏀🚕 C] Compare the quality of the emojis rendering between the browsers when unzoomed and when zooming.
I've tried in FF (to no avail): A] Disable hardware acceleration in settings (w/ FF restart). B] Setting "gfx.font_rendering.cleartype_params.rendering_mode" from -5 to 5 (w/ 10+ FF restarts). C] Setting "gfx.webrender.quality.force-subpixel-aa-where-possible" to true (w/ FF restart). D] Using both emoji sets in the "Segoe UI Emoji" & "Twemoji Mozilla" fonts in the "font.name-list.emoji" setting, both sets gave me blurry results (w/ FF restarts). D] Disabling all add-ons (w/ FF restart). E] Setting new Firefox separate clean install. F*] In Windows setting the scaling factor to 100% in Windows->System->Display->Scaling_Factor (w/ FF & Windows restart).
How can the blurriness of the emojis be fixed so to make them crystal sharp like in Edge?
Solution: A} Download Noto-Color-Emoji font from https://fonts.google.com/noto/specimen/Noto+Color+Emoji Ensure that your are getting the full resolution font (which came at ~23MB as of 2024.09.23) B} Unpack the font and install according to the on screen instructions. C} In FF in "about:config" find the "font.name-list.emoji" setting and rewrite its value field to "Noto Color Emoji, Segoe UI Emoji, Twemoji Mozilla" (w/o the quotations marks). D} I've attached a screenshot w/ the result, It is marked w/ the red writing of font.name-list.emoji on it.

I'm having problems using Firefox in general. No websites will load properly except for the Firefox support site. It's not an internet issue because everything works fine when I use Google Chrome (I'm typing this from Chrome). I tried deleting my history and clearing caches/cookies but that didn't fix anything. I've included some screenshots of what I'm dealing with below.

I am running Lubuntu 22.04LTS (have been for months now), with Firefox 130.0.1 installed via the normal vanilla apt.
It was working fine until a few days ago (perhaps after an update, but I can't recall specifically), and then just stopped being able to save anything.
For example, right clicking on an image will bring up "Save As..." as an option, but when I choose that, nothing happens. No prompt to save, nor does the file appear anywhere.
When I choose "Save" as a pulldown on cloud XLSX files...similarly, nothing happens.
When I download something, Firefox is supposed to open up a prompt asking me where I want to save the file but that never opens...nor does the file download.
I am totally baffled.

I received a suspicious e-mail with an .eml file attached today. It tried posing as a pdf file, so I'm guessing it was malicious. While deleting the e-mail, I sadly clicked on it by accident. Luckily, I think, Firefox blocked the pop-up that resulted.
I was wondering if the pop-up blocker in Firefox would have prevented any malicious code from running. Does the blocker prevent anything from actually being executed or loaded? For what it's worth, I did a MalwareBytes scan that came back clean, but I've changed my most important passwords just to be safe.

Suddenly this morning, a new toolbar appeared on my copy of Firefox (131.0) showing one item, Getting Started, which I have no use for. I managed to delete it and it was replaced with something telling me to place my bookmarks here on the bookmarks toolbar, which I also don't want. How do I get rid of it as it's nothing else for me but a waste of screen real estate?

I am using 15.0 Firefox version that was very reliable up until this upgrade. I am allowing all the permissions for Audio and the Camera. Audio started to work after several attempts to make it work but the video freezes after a few minutes being connected to the client. The permissions are still active but for some reason video crashes few minutes into the call with the audio, as well. Can you please look into the possible issue? As I mentioned it was working seamlessly up until the upgrade and installing a newer version of Firefox did not help, it was actually worse and the sound was crackling and breaking up. I am sticking then with version 115 that was installed on my computer for a long time and I do the updates whenever prompted so my version 115 is up to date. Is it possible that Firefox needs the update after the upgrade for OSx just like the applications have to do whenever is the update/upgrade to the OSx and Windows OS. Thank you so much.

Hey, since yesterday ( 6/10/2024 ) my installation ( currently version 131.0 ) had a weird change. When opening the app it would create a new instance on my taskbar, while I thought unusual at the time it did also remove its ability to use the taskbar context menu, only having the pin to taskbar option.
Below are some images of this, the first two being the missing context menu from both Firefox installations, the original one is the one that has the frequents tab.

As of right now, I'm running the latest version of Firefox. I've noticed that it takes up to 17 processes on my computer. There by slowing both my computer and firefox to the point it's unusable. I know extensions can take up some processes, however I'm only using 3 extensions. So, it shouldn't be using so much. What is being done about this? I like what firefox has to offer, but if these aren't fixed then I'll have to start using another browser. And, getting everyone I know to get off of it, as it's being just like bloatware on my pc.

Hey guys,
I kinda need your help. I just switched from Windows to Manjaro Linux and I cannot retrieve my Firefox bookmarks and passwords. I do not have access to the old setup because I have formatted the disk and I have only this one on Linux.
I have used my Firefox account multiple times in order to login on a new device and every time it has retrieved my bookmarks and passwords but not this time. Before logging in from this device I had to reset my Firefox password because I had forgot it -- is this a security measure maybe?
Are my bookmarks and passwords gone forever? Thanks!
