I'm trying to replicate my windows setup in Fedora 42. I have been really liking the new vertical sidebar tabs option in windows. I have a lot of tabs and so rely on inertial scrolling to flick through them quickly.

However, there's odd behaviour with this in linux. With the window protocol set to xwayland, inertial scrolling on the sidebar tabs works, but inertial scrolling does not work in websites. Setting the window protocol to wayland (the general online recommendation to fix inertial scrolling), inertial scrolling in the tab list does not work, making them much less useful.

Long time ago it was the only thing we had: if you saved a file, you selected the folder. If you saved the next file, you selceted the folder, but the LRU (last recently used) was the default.

Now download folders depend on the domain, the filetype, the age of the user and the color of the T-shirt he wears. At least that's what I guess. Its so complicated, my IQ is not sufficient to understand it. And if you refuse to have it this way, its always stored to the Download folder.

After long research, opening the low level config page, identifying cryptic names of configuration properties and clicking away warnings I was able to deactivate domain specific download folders. It was so annoying, I immediately forgot how I did it.

Still I have to select the same path again and again and again for each filetype I want to store.

And the FileSelector has its own history, but the last folder I selected does not show. Why? Obviously its a fake history.

Twitch Fails to Load

When attempting to access the Twitch website in normal browsing mode, the page does not load properly. Instead of the site rendering, I only see a black screen with an infinite loading spinner.

This issue does not occur in private browsing mode (incognito), Twitch loads normally there.

I found that performing a browser reset temporarily resolves the issue, but after some time the problem returns. Continuously resetting the browser is not a practical solution.

Additional details:

   Browser version: 141
   Steps to reproduce:
       Open Firefox in normal mode
       Navigate to https://twitch.tv
       Observe black screen with loading spinner
   Expected result: Twitch should load normally
   Actual result: Page remains blank with a loading spinner
   Private browsing mode works correctly

Please advise on a permanent fix or steps to diagnose this issue.

Hi. News videos from www.bbc.com won't play. When I ask the BBC website to play a video, I get a blank area of my screen, with a play button. Clicking the button makes it go away, leaving me with just the blank area of the screen. Videos from youtube, movie trailers, etc play fine - it's just videos from a few sites (such as BBC) that yield nothing. I have autoplay videos disabled by default, but: I'm not trying to have the website autoplay; The setting doesn't affect other websites; and there's no way to disable autoplay for the website I'm on (no way I can find, at least).

Hi, I've seen others ask this same question in archived posts with no proper answer.

How do I select all tabs to be imported from a synced machine? I have the list on my sidebar, I can import or close one tab at a time, but there is no menu available to select them all (there are many). Right-clicking on the device name etc. does nothing.

Windows 11, Firefox 141.0

Many thanks for any help!

I have a Scotiabank account. Its login name is my CC or rather debit card number. I got a new card with a new number. FF will not let me change the old one to the new one. So I went through Safari and entered the new one by hand, which allowed me to do my online banking a day or two ago.

I want to use FF and to change the number, because FF is my default browser and I like it.

thanks, Shelly Errington [email address]

Firefox loads in some images very distorted where they are pixelated and in negative color. It's not all images, it's also not on specific websites, it's just in general. Some websites don't have any problems and others are practically unusable. The icons in my tabs are often desaturated from their normal color as well, see the youtube icon for example the color is very muted versus the actual color of the logo.
