I'm running the latest Firefox version (67.0, 64 bit) on Windows 10 64 bit Professional, with all the most recent updates. No extensions installed.
I found out highighted text does not show up in one of the sites I visit often. You know when you select a lenght of text for copying and it becames white over blue? This doesn't happen in this site alone. Using other browsers (Chrome, Edge), it works as expected. In Firefox, although the text is not highlighted, it will be copied normally if I press CTRL +C.
I have already tried safe mode and a clean installation (uninstal + restart PC + delete all Firefox related foders + install).
Have anyone seen anything like that?
Thanks a lot

Hello I just got the new update and it has deleted all my Firefox/Addon settings. Is there anyway to get them back? Thank you, Biohazard42.

My microphone works with all other programs on my computer but not firefox. I have given all the websites I wish to use it with the permission to do so (it says so in the 'i' icon on the site) but still I can't be heard on the other end. My mic works fine for web calls on other browsers as well.
I use a Behringer UMC204HD audio device.
Thanks for the help!
Why can't I see videos on https://www.aljazeera.com

If I go onto the Aljazerra site, to a page where there is a video, all I see is a white space. For example https://www.aljazeera.com/programmes/witness/ has a Survivivors Ebola epidemic video at the top of the page but in Firefox it shows nothing but a blank space. I have supplied a screenshot. Although the screenshots show videos further in the page they are in fact links ,which when clicked also result in only white space. However if I use the Flashpeak Slimjet browser it displays all the videos with no problem. Can anyone help, as I'd rather stick with Firefox

I have the latest version (67) of FF that promises "Firefox blocks all media with sound from playing automatically. " I have Block websites from automatically playing sound selected, and I have modified about:config settings to:
media.autoplay.default to 1 media.autoplay.allow-muted to false
Despite this, when I go to ESPN.com videos still autoplay at full volume. What else do I need to do to make FF block media from autoplaying?

If I select "Save files to" all downloads are successful, but if the option is set to "Always ask me where to save files" Firefox will freeze when I try to select a location for the file or when Save is selected. I have tried the following without success: 1) Start Firefox in Safe Mode (sometimes downloads complete, sometimes it freezes) 2) Refresh Firefox (sometimes downloads complete, sometimes it freezes) 3) Create a new clean Profile (sometimes downloads complete, sometimes it freezes) 4) Turn Hardware Acceleration off (does not help) 5 Disabling Shockwave Flash doe not help. No Crash Report is generated since Firefox freezes with the message "Firefox is not responding." I do not experience this problem in Chrome. The freeze usually happens as soon as I select "Save File" but sometimes as late as when the download starts. I would appreciate any suggestions as I am out of ideas and getting very frustrated.

Hello, I am using Firefox for developer since some time. I enabled the "clear history when firefox closes" option . I selected in the settings to clear only browse and download history. When I close firefox and start it again, it signs out automatically. I have to sign in every time I launch firefox. This is very boring. Then there is another problem. When my account is synced, firefox sync the settings related to my account but it should not. In the sync settings tab, I have not checked the "options" box to sync. Why is firefox doing this ? I have another PC where firefox remember history so when my "normal" PC syncs (I repeat : it should not), the history settings go back to remeber history and it is so boring to do all this stuff when firefox start... Help ! Thanks

I bank with a major bank (TD) and today, trying to log into my online banking, I get this:
Did Not Connect: Potential Security Issue
Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to easyweb.td.com because this website requires a secure connection.
What can you do about it?
easyweb.td.com has a security policy called HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), which means that Firefox can only connect to it securely. You can’t add an exception to visit this site.
I just want to add that I have tried all of the "turn it on and off again" kinds of things - disabling addons, rebooting, etc. Still the same error.
The issue is most likely with the website, and there is nothing you can do to resolve it. You can notify the website’s administrator about the problem.

This seems to be a permanent thing. Firefox will not let me log into my online banking site. I have never had this problem before and I have been logging into my online banking using Firefox for decades. What gives?
PS: Did all of the basic things like disabling addons, rebooting, clearing cache, etc.

I gave my password on "authorization to Sync" (or close to that. Went to my email and copied the authorization number. Back to enter the number where specified. I took the code up to the final 3 digits. Wouldn't allow me to continue (much like when NumLock is not liet. Tried rentry more than once. I have checked the auth number again and find that the last digit was a letter instead of a number. Will go back thru again, but I still don't understand why I could not enter any of the last three digits. The answer is probably something easy that this old (ancient!) brain couldn't grasp.

This has been a problem for at least the last five versions of Firefox including the current one rendering the browser useless to me. Almost as soon as email is deleted from the in-box of Outlook.com it reappears--the whack-a-mole strategy is only intermittently effective. No other browser--Chrome,Edge, Credge, Opera--has this bug. Since it is such a consistent problem for me, deleting and reinstalling Firefox changed nada, I assume others have had to abandon Firefox for the same reason.

As of today, every other article page load on The Washington Post's site in Firefox triggers a pop-over banner from the Post saying I'm blocking their ads. This happens even when I have all ad-blocking turned off in Firefox. Example page with the problem:
The ad-block warning may not appear the first time the page loads, but if I press F5 to reload the page, the warning usually appears when the page reloads.
Firefox 67.0 is not showing a content blocking shield icon for the page.
I have tried:
- Setting Firefox's Content Blocking to Custom and unchecking all blocking categories
- Turning off Firefox's pop-up blocking
- Turning off Firefox's auto-playing videos with sound blocking
- Turning off ad-blocking add-ons
- Disabling all add-ons (not shown in screenshot)
- Telling Firefox to forget about the site
- Telling Firefox to clear all cookies and data for the site
- Clearing all Firefox cookies and data
- Restarting the browser
- Adding the site to Firefox's cookie handling exception list as always "Allow"
However, the Post's ad-blocking warning still comes up about 50% of the time. I've read Post articles in the past in Firefox--with ad blocks enabled, even--without ever encountering this problem; this is the first time I've ever encountered this ad-block warning of theirs.

The Options Menu does not give any hotword (letters) in the main list of choices such as Home, Search, Privacy & Security, Sync.
I frequently invoke the The Options menu via ALT+T+O. But I cannot progress further. I regularly want to call up Saved Logins in the Privacy & Settings menu.
Any advices on how to do this - go to Saved Logins after routing to Privacy & Settings - with the keyboard throughout will be gratefully received.

So I was having some desktop time on my PC and mozilla was opened with lots of tabs that didnt need a bm's so I never saved them cause they we're restored whenever I opened mozilla again. However, today, Mozilla opened a new window telling me some updates we're done and then I close it down remaining with the original mozilla window from this morning. Later I closed this one down as well and when I opened it I lost: 1. All logins. 2. All tabs. 3. All my Dials from FVD Speed Dial addon. Not knowing what happened to them I close this window down to reopen it but nothing changed. This technic worked in the past.
I looked in the backupsession folder But all I had some sessions from 2016 and 3 from today. I checked in the Session History link this files and none of them contained my tabs from today which we're really important. I dont know about the dials, but those are gone as well.
