Not sure if this is a silly question to ask, but I've noticed that when I use browser Instagram on Firefox it displays emoticons as emojis. For example if I type "<3" (less than 3) it'll display a heart emoji. It doesn't actually convert it In the message though, my friends say it sends what I type.

I'm just wondering why this is happening and how to stop it, I've checked settings for everything and cannot find anything about it. Thank you in advance.

There are times that I use the screenshot tool on X.com and the filename it saves to is WAY too long. Sometimes it tries to use the entire content of the post as the filename. I see this effect in the title bar as well. Is there a way to change it so it only uses a date/timestamp and nothing else? Attached is an example of this extremely long naming. Specs: Firefox 139.0.4 (aarch64) Mozilla Firefox for Raspberry Pi OS rasberrypios-1.0 OS: Debian 12 bookworm Kernel: aarch64 Linux 6.12.25+rpt-rpi-2712

idk when exactly this nonsense happen or with which update but thats outrageous.

why the hell it canceled in my setting the check mark at startup for opening previous tabs?! i haven't touched the settings in ages since i set them up so it had to be one of your stupid updates.

fortunatly chatgpt had a solution to bring all my tabs back otherwise i'd fucking rage out.

i'v been using firefox for ages but after this i was really thinking i should switch to something else.

I shop on several websites, and the customer review section does not appear on the product pages. Thinking extensions may be to blame, I tried opening those particular websites in a new private window. But I still was unable to see the reviews. It works fine on Edge. Is there any way to fix this?

Before the latest update whenever I made a browser window fill half the screen it would keep the search bar visible. Now it only keeps the address bar visible. Even after moving the search bar to the far left it still disappears unless I make the window slightly bigger, which is impractical. I just want to be able to quickly use other various search engines that I have installed as addons by pressing the up or down key, even when the window is half my screen again.

So, I was using "Firefox Color" to design my own theme. All the block colours seem to work. However, there's an option for custom background, which the preview within the creator app shows nicely. When trying one image type, it notified me that it wasn't compatible and to choose another. So the one I chose should therefore be compatible and therefore would assume it should work. Yet, when the theme is applied, the custom background isn't there, just the block colour. Perhaps the block background colour is overriding the custom background? If so, though, I have no idea how to stop it from doing that so that I can actually see my custom one. Plz halp!

Hello everyone! I’m writing to asking for help about an issue with the camera not working on Mozilla Firefox during video calls. When I try to join a Google Meet session, I receive a message asking me to grant camera permissions - even though the permissions are already enabled both in the browser and my computer’s settings.

Interestingly, the camera works perfectly fine on other browsers like Google Chrome, so the issue seems to be specific to Firefox. I’ve already checked the following:

- Camera permissions are all allowed for Google Meet in Firefox; - The system settings (Windows) permit Firefox to access the camera; - No other applications are blocking the camera. I know that 'cause I'm using this camera on WhatsApp and TikTok Live Studio.

Could y'all please help me resolve this? I’d appreciate any troubleshooting steps or fixes you can provide.

PS.: The images are written in portuguese. But it's all how I told you before.
