firefox shortcut "Ctrl plus up arrow" is defined as a "media" shortcut.

What pages are defined as "media"?

If a web page is playing audio, do the "media" shortcuts apply? It appears that this is so for only some web pages.

example: the site "https://wrti-live.streamguys1.com/classical-mp3" does not respect those commands. why?

As it says in the subject line, the `reopen closed tab` keyboard shortcut cmd+shift+T doesn't do anything on Firefox for MacOS. Weirdly enough, the keyboard shortcut for `new tab` cmd+T does work, as does the other typical shortcuts (search, cut, copy, paste, new window, reopen closed window, etc.). So I'm puzzled why this one is the exception.

I've also noticed that using the other shortcuts light up the respective menu in the top bar (File when cmd+T, Edit when cmd+F, Bookmarks when cmd+shift+O, etc.), but pressing cmd+shift+T does not. Not sure if that's a useful hint or not.

I can still right click the current tab and select `Reopen closed tab` option from there, which is what I've been doing, but it definitely interrupts the flow I have when all of the other usual shortcuts I use work and then this one doesn't.

Thank you, and have a good day.

I have been using Firefox for decades, and it just suddenly completely changed - I'm assuming after the recent update. I am no longer able to view the bookmarks toolbar. It will not allow me to customize the toolbar (it's a blank page). The drop-down menu for passwords does not work. The drop-down for history did not work, so I did a refresh. Now, there is no drop-down menu (three lines) for history and the home button is gone. The page looks very different and very basic.

Any help is appreciated. I would prefer to use Firefox, but am considering changing default browsers due to this.

Hello,

On Wednesday Windows updated in their monthly update. This update resulted in my Firefox browser losing all many capabilities in the top bar. I see the buttons for copy, download and star but can't select them. The download button works, the bookmark doesn't, the account button doesn't, the $ button doesn't, the extension button doesn't, the more features button doesn't, and the menu button doesn't.

Is this something you are aware of.... it worked previous to the download and that's the only change. I have other browsers on my computer (Explorer - No changes, Chrome - No changes) only issues with Firefox. I utilize your browser 98% of the time and would like to get this resolved.

Thanks

I've just updated my Linux Mint to 22.1 and Firefox to 142 on two computers. Both show the same behaviour. On websites of the Stackexchage family (Stackoverflow, Superuser, Crossvalidated, Academia...) the comment function seems to not work anymore. I am not offered a button to comment, and clicking buttons to see more comments that are already there don't show the comments but rather send me to the top of the page. I can still answer. The problem seems to be with Firefox 142 as it worked well before the update, and it still works well with Firefox 142 on Mac and other browsers on Linux.

This looks like a minor bug, not sure whether it is specific to Stackexchange or other websites are affected, too. Is there any help? If not, where can I file a bug report?

This is by now more of a complaint rather than a question, since I already "solved" my problem (manually, by redoing all the affected changes). I'm writing this here in the hope it gets considered/solved in future Firefox updates, and I couldn't find a better place to write (sorry, I also didn't look too hard, since I've already lost some time manually "fixing" the scramble).

The context: I use Firefox currently in three different computers, with a login to cross-communicate my settings, add-ons, and specially, my bookmarks. I use Firefox bookmarks so much that most of my job is saved within them. One of those computers I hadn't used Firefox in a while, and yesterday I had to, and had to log back into my account in that machine. First weirdness was when it took so long to sync my favorites that I gave up and went to do something else. Then this morning in my main computer I realize that old bookmarks from that computer had synced BACK to my main one.

The problem then, is that instead of syncing the bookmarks by the last changes made by me, it got old bookmarks from the old login. I wonder if I had been using a new computer if the system would consider "no bookmarks" as my new bookmark list... sorry, I jest. I know the system apparently only brought bookmarks back and (as far as I know for now) didn't took them away (but it should, since many were deleted or moved for being no longer useful), but I think this whole experience shows that the system should be looking at individual changes by timestamp to each one, not whenever the whole set was saved, and specially: do not save a set BEFORE syncing.

Plus, this made me wish for an option to undo synchronizations or save a current set for later reboot, so we could have more control over it.

I really use these bookmarks a lot, and they're basically the biggest reason why I stick to Firefox.

Firefox version 142.01. After the update I find that Firefox opens normally with tabs visible as normal. When I use the > button to scroll to tabs not visible, the tabs scroll as normal but as soon as I release the mouse button they immediately and rapidly scroll back to the original position. This means I am unable to access many of my tabs. I have searched for information on this but have not been able to find anything specific. I have cleared cookies etc., refreshed Firefox, used a different mouse all to no avail. Another issue is that when trying to select which topic best describes my problem, the pop up only flashes on the screen and when it does stay on, it vanishes again when I try to select an issue. I managed to select the one shown but it was the only one I could access. I don't know what else to do. Any help will be gratefully received. Thanks. Owen

I have an account with Songsterr. It's a music tabs site.

I moved over to Firefox as my primary browser relatively recently & I've noticed that the captions in Songsterr are all messed up. I've been on to Songsterr about it & they cannot solve it but, on a whim, I checked Songsterr in Safari & everything appears normal so I'm going to assume for the moment that this is a firefox related issue.

I've added 4 screenshots. The first two are from Safari & show how the captions should appear. The second two are from Firefox & you can see that it's all messed up.

I found an article on Reddit that may be related but I wanted to check here first & see if any of you could shed any light.

Hi,

I have an unusual request.

I have mistakenly used dictionary.com several times, but I don't want to use it anymore. I'm using cambridge.dictionary.org as it has more entries.

Problem is whenever I type dic--- dictionary.com always comes up. How can I delete this side off my autofill?

Thanks,

I've done all the troubleshooting I could find, including: Uninstalling, tried using beta ff, disabled hardware acceleration, disabled/removed all extensions, memtest, updated various drivers. Still frequent tab crashes Tried two other browsers and neither of those had any issues. No crashing on edge or duckduck.

Crash reason seem to be mostly EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION_READ and EXCEPTION_BREAKPOINT

Few crashes from today: https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/repor.../647f9599-8e18-417d-852e-b52300250827 https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/repor.../2001d7f1-4cfc-476b-9a88-4679a0250827 https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/repor.../b2101bae-a1cc-404c-b0d2-7b8230250827 https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/repor.../dede8925-55e3-484e-b2ab-3863d0250827

Hola, el problema es el siguiente: Al agrandar la pantalla a pantalla completa en videos en vivo, o sea streaming en vivo en youtube, de repente mi computadora empieza a consumir muchos recursos y el video para de reproducirse, y no responda al mouse, solo al teclado. Cabe aclarar que esto solo empezo a pasar hace algunos dias, antes podia reproducirlos sin ningun problema, y que esto solo sucede con los streaming en vivo, ademas de eso en otros navegadores esto no sucede, pero me gustaria poder seguir usando mozilla y no verme obligado a cambiar de navegador

Tambien otro problema menor pero molesto es que a veces al ingresar a youtube las miniaturas se ven muy grandes y a veces mas pequeñas, esto sucede de manera al azar, el zoom de la pantalla es siempre el mismo, y las miniaturas cambias de manera random de tamaño al ingresar a youtube. Muchas gracias!

Ok, this happens every so often. I use a Laptop running up to date Win 11. For the last several days, when I try to get on Facebook, Firefox doesn't log me in all the way. Pages are just frozen and I can't do anything. I back out, I reboot, but nothing works so just now I logged into Edge and am just flying around Facebook! I have changed nothing so it is not me or my machine. Why does Firefox do this? I love it and have used it for years but this drives me crazy!! Thanks
