Firefox Community Forum

• Short version:

On our Church website, we can't get Firefox to display our Box.com, sermon archive embed with Firefox (all the other browsers we tried work). It worked until some of your more recent changes. We can't expect low tech members of our Church to be able to go beyond default settings.

• Detailed version:

While we appreciate the added security that Firefox provides, Firefox is becoming impossible to use for so many legitimate websites. For example: Mail.com does not allow logging in via Firefox. This is where we get our personal email service, we have to use Chrome to access our mail. Mail.com actually tells us mail.com will not work with Firefox by name when we try to log on. More importantly we run a Church website that has embed codes from Youtube.com and Box.com. We found a way to get Youtube embeds to work but we can't get Firefox to display our Box.com sermon archive embed with Firefox (all the other browsers we tried work). It worked until some of your more recent changes. This is the Box.com embed code in question: <iframe src="https://app.box.com/embed/s/rcrtr0fquc8eagwtqfxohfu3ltk1l5mu?sortColumn=date" width="500" height="400" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe> We tried unsuccessfully in setting to make this embed work even though this is not really a solution. We can't expect low tech members of our Church to be able to go beyond default settings. All we can do is say, "Don't use Firefox to to access our archives."

I have a Mac Air and it is up to date. and I use Firefox browser which is up to date, but I suddenly cannot access a website to which I have a subscription which is paid up through November. The website is 'Mypilatestime' and now when I try to access it, it states 'forbidden' and is blank. I can access it on Google Chrome but Firefox is my preferred browser. Why can't I access it as usual? Please send a fix ASAP!!

Can I substitute a more legible font for one of Firefox's? How? Where would I find suitable fonts. (Increased character spacing is what I will resort to if necessary, but it wastes space.)

Hey everyone, I’ve noticed that my cab fare calculator pages, which use the Bing Maps API, are taking significantly longer to load in Firefox compared to Chrome or Edge. These are the two pages:

https://tanushreecabs.com/cab-fare-calculator

https://amzcabs.in/cab-fare-calculator-in-nagpur

The map sometimes delays or doesn’t load fully unless the page is refreshed. There are no obvious console errors, and we’re not using anything too heavy—just a basic Bing Maps integration to calculate cab fares based on distance.

Is this a known issue with Firefox, or is there any setting or optimization specific to Firefox I should consider for better performance?

Thanks!

Could not get email via the usual Firefox. Always have used Firefox to get it. What happened ???

Then something called Moxilla came along. What's that? Why do I have to use Moxilla? I want Firefox. How is it related to Moxilla? Why did something change without my permission?

Thanks, Deanna Rose

When I paste an URL in the address bar with Ctrl+V and then press Enter before releasing Ctrl, the page is opened in a new tab. How can I disable that? I want it in the same tab. (If I release Ctrl and then hold it again before pressing Enter, it opens in the same tab already.)

Sometimes, when I want to use the Take a Screenshot function (on my toolbar) to save a long section of a page, after selecting what I want and scrolling down to the Download button, the process positions the page's floating 'identification' bar across the the middle of the picture. Is there a way to set a keyboard shortcut to trigger the download command after making the selection, without the need to scroll down to see the button? This would greatly simplify the process. In some limited searching and testing, I haven't found anything that accomplishes this.

I have attached a screenshot of a page to serve as an example of how the bar is superimposed.

FWIW, this system is still running Windows 7, Firefox 115.22.0 esr.

Last night, Firefox spontaneously stopped recognizing input from my Logitech M650 L mouse's side buttons used to go back and forward through the browsing history of the current tab. I've tried refreshing firefox, checking the mouse software, trying a different profile, trying firefox in safe mode, checked the firefox config and the mouse button inputs were set to "true", tried clearing the cache, and even tested on a website that shows you your mouse inputs and the side buttons were not detected at all, while all other buttons were detected fine. The side buttons work fine in all other programs and browsers on my PC: Windows 10 64 bit.

There was a brief period where they started working again last night, but seemed to stop upon reboot my computer.

I've been noticing that on some websites, certain fonts are hard to read. For example, the letter "e" being too bold or "i" looking like an "l", and "c" sometimes looking like an "o". Those are just a couple of cases. I've attached an annotated screenshot to show this issue.

My eyes aren't so good any more, so this is fairly important. When I want to search, as soon as I start typing and even though the center box is highlighted, the text jumps to the upper box. How do I keep it in the center box? It's probably a setting, but I can't find it.

Thanks to any responders.

Я пытаюсь использовать сочетание клавиш ctrl+shift+c, что бы скопировать текст, но, вместо этого открывается devtools, я не могу использовать другое соччетание, пробовал отключить это в настройках devtools, но это не сработало, так же пытался выключить devtools, но не помогло

I don't know if it's the latest Firefox "update" ro v137.0.1(those accursed things!) which I've resisted for months, or the garbage update Macrosuck foisted on us today, but somebody has altered my settings. The font size on all were the same size as the fonts on the pages I go to, now they're miniscule. How can I change them so I can actually see them?

Thank you to any and all relevant solutions and/or suggestions.

I've been trying to use the "Accessibility" -> "verbalize screen reader" on Google Docs, but it won't let me use the verbal functions. I have tried to download reader extensions in hopes that it would read the Google Doc, but it's not working. I have restarted my computer, the Accessibility is on, and tried to contact Google to see if it's an issue on their end but most of the information is only applicable for Chrome. I also tried to use "verbalize screen reader" on Chrome, and it is also not working there. If anyone knows how to use the Accessibility with Firefox and not Chrome, please help me navigate this. I have tried several Firefox extensions and none of the Text-to-Speech are working with google docs. I don't know why there aren't any, but suggestions would be appreciated.

The hotkey for showing/hiding the sidebar is currently ^Z. Since the Y and Z keys are swapped on German keyboards, could this be changed to ^Y when the interface language is set to German? Or is there already a setting for this that I might have missed?
