Firefox on Ubuntu randomly drops characters from bardodes scanned by external USB barcode scanner. We are 100% sure that barcode scanner works properly - barcodes scanned into vi editor running in bash terminal windows works perfectly. Barcodes scanned into Google Chrome works perfectly too. It seems that the only application with this problem is Firefox. For example we can scan 1234567890 and get 124567890 or 123456890. Barcode scanner types characters extremely fast, probably this is a problem. The problem persists scanning into text fields in the Web pages and into the Firefox address bar too - so could not be a web-site problem. No addons installed.

How this problem could be fixed? We have the only option for now - switch to Google Chrome:-(

Steps to reproduce- (1) Enable 'accessibility.blockautorefresh' in 'about:config' (This is said to ask for permission before redirecting) (2) Go here (3) End up here without permission

Extensions I'm using- Privacy Badger, uBlock origin, clearURLs and Show/hide passwords

Another question, does enabling this setting also stop internal redirection?

I have updated to the latest Firefox version for the Android app, using Samsung Galaxy S20. When viewing YouTube in mobile view (desktop view works though) through the browser, the comment section seem to be invisible and not showing. I have tried fresh reinstalling, and toggled all the settings, but I can't seem to get it to work on Firefox. Other browsers like chrome works just fine. Is this a bug?

Lost ability to drag and drop.

FF 134.0.1 Apple M1 Max Macbook Sequoia 15.0.1

GIVEN I download a file WHEN I drag from "recent downloads" in toolbar to g.drive THEN nothing is moved, nothing is under cursor

expected: file drops into g.drive from downloads

GIVEN I have a window up with many tabs WHEN I select a tab and pull it to make a new window THEN nothing is under cursor, and I don't get a new window

expected: new window created from open tab

Since installing Firefox on Ubuntu 24.04 from the mozillateam-ppa, I can't simply open normal files like .pdf with my preferred OS-application (evince) by clicking the link. Instead a "File Link" handler (see attached image) opens for any such file, be them .pdf, .odt or whatever, and this handler only knows one default and has to be told all possible applications by hand.

How can I configure to Firefox to open any file by the preferred OS-application.

Over the last 6 months, and increasing number of websites don't open on Firefox. I've noticed it most consistently on any of the wikipedia/wikimedia pages, but it's not just those. When I type in an address and press return, or click on a link, the browser just acts as if nothing has happened. There does not show me the loading symbole. If I ask it to open a new tab with the site, the address appears on the tab, but the page itself is just black. Other browsers have no problem loading the same sites. I am on a mac, and using a VPN. Restarting the browser doesn't help, though restarting the computer sometimes does.

Thank you,

On LinkedIn some ellipsis/see more buttons are not properly displayed, for instance in "About" sections. See attachment, I took the screenshot on both Firefox (133.0.3/Ubuntu) and Chromium.

The offending html code is this

    <button class="inline-show-more-text__button
               inline-show-more-text__button--light
               link" aria-expanded="false" role="button" type="button">
             …see more
    </button>

I have Firefox's New Tab set as my home page, since I'm choosing to divorce myself from political doomscrolling for the next four years. The New Tab page is perfect for having frequently visited sites at the top, Pocket stories I can curate in the middle, and what used to be a history of articles and sites I've read most recently in "Recent Activity" along the bottom. Within the last few days, "Recent Activity" has been blank, and will no longer keep track of articles I've recently read. I've tried clearing the browser history and cookies, and it came back for a moment, but quickly went back to being blank. And the major downside to clearing the browser is that my four rows of most frequently visited sites gets wiped clean also, and I have to spend time getting them back on the list. I do not have Firefox set to automatically clear history upon closing it. I've tried turning "Recent Activity" off and on with the page's Settings (cog in the bottom right corner). I'd really like to have this back, as it can help me find recently read content (especially Pocket content) easier than wading through the History log. Any help would be appreciated.
