My cat stepped on my keyboard and now my top bar with my tabs is only accessible when I mouse up to the top, and my taskbar is hidden entirely and can only be seen if I downsize my firefox window. What button combination do I need to press to restore my browser to its previous visibility?

I noticed that the World Clock widget includes Pakistan Standard Time (PKT) but does not provide an option for Indian Standard Time (IST). This is surprising given that India has one of the world's largest internet user bases and a significantly larger population than many countries currently represented.

India operates on a unique UTC+5:30 time zone used by over 1.4 billion people, making it one of the most widely used time zones globally. The absence of IST while neighbouring time zones are available feels like a major oversight and reduces the usefulness of the widget for Indian users and anyone who regularly works with Indian colleagues, clients, friends, or family.

Please add Indian Standard Time (IST) to the World Clock widget as a standard option. Its inclusion would greatly improve the widgets global coverage and usability.

Content Security policy blocks essential scripts no matter what I do.

It's new Firefox installation, Troubleshoot mode, Enhanced tracking disabled, I'm not on VPN, can log into X.com in another browser just fine.

It's the reason #1 I don't use Firefox. I thought the issue would be fixed but it has been like this for long time.

Yet whatever I do, whatever I turn off this pops up:

Content-Security-Policy: The page’s settings blocked the loading of a resource (default-src) at https://abs.twimg.com/responsive-web/client-web/bundle.Conversation.721fc4aa.js because it violates the following directive: “default-src 'self'”

The screenshot is from Zen, but it uses Firefox and the issue is the same in Firefox.

So for three days now, my firefox constantly crashes. I would be reading a story online or watching a video on Youtube and then it will suddenly freeze. In videos, it'll still play the sound but the screen will freeze. I can't pause or stop it. Then either Firefox crashes and closes or I have to close it for it to stop. Sometimes, when I try opening it again, it still won't open. I used to have 50 tabs open and never ad this issue. After this, I closed all the open tabs, even deactivated a bunch of extensions, run malware detection, and still the issue continues. I don't know what the problem is. I even followed instructions and deactivated hardware acceleration options in Performance. And I have all AI options turned off too. The app also recently was updated.

I cannot get into Firefox due to an error message that keeps coming up. Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible.

I have tried deleting and reinstalling it, but it didn't really uninstall completely. I have tried a few suggestions from online, which didn't work. I also tried right clicking on the Firefox symbol and went into some of the different options, but nothing worked for me.

I suppose this is a kind of support question, of sorts, but in my opinion this also has to be treated as a complaint, in a sense.

About one and a half months ago, Firefox became unresponsive, that is, it became awfully slow. I experienced just about every issue with the browser that was mentioned in the following support pages and support issues (posted by others) and I read all of those :

Websites don't load - troubleshoot and fix error messages

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/websites-dont-load-troubleshoot-and-fix-errors#w_the-problem-only-happens-with-certain-websites

firefox is extremely slow or fails to load sites

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1550371

Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-extensions-themes-to-fix-problems

Secure connection and security warning error pages in Firefox https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/secure-connection-failed-firefox-did-not-connect

An oddball situation had occurred in which I couldn't for the likes of me go to my librarything.com homepage at each restart of the previous Firefox session, which also causes lagging when the session wants to connect to the other (normally unproblematic) website session tabs, and I also get multiple connection errors + insecure connection notifications for some of these websites. (sometimes refreshing a page does not help, sometimes it does)

I got bored reading all those support pages and trying out the solutions, because nothing seemed to help. In the long run, I decided to de-install the whole browser after backing up bookmarks, speeddial settings, passwords and the whole profile. Simultaneously, I also tested the connectivity to these websites in another browser (Brave) and this did not present me with any problem.

So I did the following :

1) deleted the whole cache and closed the browser 2) uninstalled FF with Revo Uninstaller (which has an option to remove all remnant files / folders/ registry items on the Hard Drive) 3) made sure to remove all cached leftovers from HD by using multiple cleanup tools in succession : 1) Wise Disk Cleaner followed by 2) Bleachbit followed by 3) CCleaner

Went to the mozilla website, downloaded and installed the last version of FF. Next, imported bookmarks, speeddial settings and passwords. Next, reinstalled the Firefox extensions I used before (without any lag until one and a half months ago). I also did NOT copy the stored profile but decided on starting afresh with a new profile.

Everything worked lightning fast and efficiently until a few days ago, when I received an automatic update of Firefox - 151.0.3 - and all of a sudden, the same problems are reoccurring. And again, I can't connect to an unproblematic website like librarything.com, whereas before the update I was able to without any problem !!!

What the hell is going on with these auto-updates ???

Yes, I'd like to use the same account on both of my profiles.

I understand that for some users, this may be confusing.

In my case, the only reason for different profiles is that I need to use a Proxy Server for some websites, and no proxy for other websites. Manually switching proxy settings is painful, and doing so causes traffic for my other tabs/windows to go to the proxy, which I do not want.

I have a main (set of) windows (and its tabs) going straight to the internet, then I have a separate window (and its tabs) configured to go through a proxy (SOCKS5 in this case). I want all other settings, bookmarks, passwords, etc. to be identical to both. I end up having to logout of my main profile, log into the other profile to sync settings, log out of there, and log back into my main profile.

Is there a valid technical reason why an account on the same FireFox installation cannot be shared between two profiles?

I can do this on multiple computers (same account, different computers/profile), seems odd it is restricted to not allow on the same computer.

I have an alternative solution: Install FireFox natively, then install FireFox as AUR or FlatPak, but not sure this will collide as this both uses the same profile directory. Hum...

Hi I use Firefox for years (decades probably). How on earth is it possible that after an upgrade (to 151), I had to manipulate about:config in order to allow unsigned extensions to keep working? Of course, I am not dealing with DIY extensions, but with small and unknown extensions as AdBlocker or uBlock origin... It doesn't seem I am the only one... Any explanation will be warmly accepted...
