Hi,
We are developing a new website for a client. The client is seeing a strange issue when viewing the site in Firefox, where a thick dashed border appears around an image and column in the footer of the website. It happens when she clicks in the footer somehow. It seems inconsistent, and the client sent us 2 different screenshots where the border line looks different. (Screenshots attached.)
We haven't been able to re-create the issue on our end, even after testing on several machines and browsers. The client is using a Windows computer and is running the newest version of Firefox. She only sees the issue when using Firefox (it looks fine for her in Microsoft Edge). She has seen the issue on several different dates, and after disabling all her Firefox extensions.
Here is the link to the site: http://82a.de4.myftpupload.com/
Anyone seen something like this before, and have any idea what it is or how to fix it?
Thank you!!

Having recently been a victim of ransomware I have configured a computer that has no personal information on it at all. It will be used exclusively for browsing the web and my other computers that have data worth stealing will not be used for browsing. I wanted to load Firefox because it reputed to be the least needy with respect to personal information. I don't need to get any emails from mozilla.org and don't intend to send you any. Can I just load the browser without providing an email address (microsoft edge did not require one)? So far the installer seems unhappy if I don't provide the requested email address.

Google Maps keeps showing information, that the Earth 3d view is not available. It worked for two days or so, just after the system reinstallation (Windows 10), but suddenly stopped. Firefox Quantum 69.0 64 bit, system Windows 10 installed a month ago (updated daily), GTX750 Ti, CPU i7-3770, 16 GB RAM. I've tried to clear cache, cookies and google for the solution, but nothing helped. Months ago, when Firefox showed "Earth 3d view is not available" (in the right bottom corner of the map) I could just click that link, and choose "Other versions..." and "Open Maps in 3d" but it doesn't work any more. Earth 3d map view works in Chrome. Please help!
Stop auto "Download" of videos on web sites

I like to read news online from sites like: Foxnews, CNN, CBS, WSJ etc., and I have limited data available (Metered Service). On almost all of these sites I was able to stop auto play of the video by disabling auto play options, and adding disable HTML5 auto play extension when some sites managed to bypass the disabled auto play option. However, that didn't stop the sites from downloading the videos. I've tried everything that I've found online: content blocker, no script extensions, etc., but nothing seems to work. Does anyone know if there's an answer or a solution to this problem, or will I just have to limit my online site visits as some other forums suggest?

Hello,
I am having bit of a problem with the cookies in the latest Firefox 69 and the 69.0.1 update that I had just now. In the Firefox I had Cookies and site data permissions set to allow specific sites for the current session and now after the update looks like those cookies are getting blocked... I always have been using private mode and I had disabled all the cookies. Looks like a bug, right? I think I could try add exceptions to the Content blocking, but then again, other stuff apart from cookies will be allowed. Running browser in the safe mode gives same result.
I would appreciate some help to resolve that issue. Thank you.

On multiple versions of Firefox ESR, I cannot successfully load amtrak.com. I do have a proxy inline, but all other browsers work just fine. I get the SSL_ERROR_NO_CYPHER_OVERLAP only when using Firefox. I did some searches online and found other people also had this error when trying to reach amtrak.com but didn't see any fixes. Anyone have any solutions?

This morning, 09/03, Firefox was updated. After that, every time I would open a Facebook game I would be prompted to run Flash Player. Posted on Community, no response. Decided to uninstall/reinstall. Now, everything is F__d'ed up. When I click on any game, all I get is a black window. Also, I've always left two tabs open and when I'm finished on-line, I would click on the red X in the upper right. Then, when I wanted to go back on line, when I click on the Firefox icon in the task bar, both tabs would come up. Now, if I click on the X, I get a warning I'm about to close two tabs. If I click OK, both tabs are closed and when I open Firefox again, they are not there. Getting sick and tired of the problems.

Firefox proceeds to clean/delete the cache files at certain time intervals, the assigned size limit in the setting outlined below do not seem to affect this behavior. This forces me to reload some websites with allot of content to go through because the websites fails to read the cached content as I progress, as those cached files have been deleted by Firefox. I have not changed the tab during the cleaning or restarted the browser or anything else that might reasonably trigger such cleaning behavior. Firefox seems to do it based on a time interval.
I have altered these settings without any success:
browser.cache.disk.capacity
browser.cache.disk.smart_size.enabled
Is there any way to control this behavior or will I have to keep reloading the websites?

Everything works fine for a random amount of time, weeks or a month or so, but then suddenly my Firefox browser is not recognized by a number of websites, so I have to verify my browser again. The password and login info is all saved, no problem there. I can autofill username and password, but some websites say they don't recognize me, and I have to verify by text, phone, or email. Even though I logged into the website from this computer yesterday with no problems.
Why does this happen? VERY annoying.

Hi,
I've been getting question marks instead of words (typefaces) when I load some websites. This isn't consistent. When I use Safari, everything is just fine. Even Chrome.
I've tried everything I could find worth trying in other peoples' queries with no luck.
This is super frustrating.
