Firefox Community Forum

Hello everyone.

When opening an image in a new tab, I get an image with a glitch in the background (attached). I've read forums and websites, thought about it, tried the suggested options with commands to disable certain settings, tried installing Firefox forks – nothing helps. The persistent stripes continue to haunt me. Then I installed a couple of other browsers to compare and verify. The same issue doesn't exist in them. In short, I've racked my brain trying to solve this problem.

I need your help and ideas on how to overcome this.

Thank you. Sincerely, Alex.

I have the following in stock: i5-10400F CPU @ 2.90GHz 32.0 GB RAM 64-bit operating system, x64 processor Windows 10 Pro Edition Version 22H2 OS Build 19045.2673 Graphics Card: ASUS DUAL-RTX5060-O8G

For many years, I've used a utility called DropZone in my menubar, which (among other things) allows documents to be automatically sorted into user-created locations (e.g., folders in the Finder).

Last night, suddenly, each time I drag a photo from Firefox to DropZone, a large window called "Action Console" opens, displaying a bunch of text. Here's a typical message that's displayed:

[Launching task with command line: runner.rb task-26498]

Task description file task-26498:

ACTION: "/Applications/- Misc. apps/Dropzone 4.app/Contents/Actions/Move Files.dzbundle" EVENT: "dragged" VARIABLE: "support_folder" "/Users/mervynwarren/Library/Application Support/Dropzone" VARIABLE: "dragged_type" "files" VARIABLE: "app_version" "4.80.66" VARIABLE: "apple_silicon" "1" VARIABLE: "os_version" "26.0.0" VARIABLE: "path" "/Users/mervynwarren/Pictures/iTunes art" VARIABLE: "tmp_folder" "/var/folders/7l/ldzhrwyx1v1dy2tky3c1_y640000gn/T/"

[Task completed]

Ironically, although the last line says "Task completed," the task I was attempting to perform (moving a photo into a given folder) is in fact NOT comleted at all.

Further observations:

This behavior is not displayed in Safari. In Safari, images continue to be moved to the desired folder, as intended.

I googled "action console keeps opening in Firefox," and I performed 4 troubleshooting steps that google AI suggested (including launching Firefox into troubleshooting mode). Unfortunately, in troubleshooting mode, the behavior persists, which suggests that this has nothing to do with any add-ons.

I also created a new, test profile—but even in the test profile, the behavior persists.

So, I'm stumped. After years of using Firefox, this behavior has appeared out of nowhere—and I cannot figure out why, nor how to fix it.

Any further suggestions?

Hi,

I discovered today that the installation of Firefox I have has modified some emoji, like the flag of Switzerland has been replaced with the one from Sark. See the screenshot looking at the same website with Firefox on the left, and Brave on the right:

There's a big mess in the flags' emojis apparently looking at a page showing all the countries. See second screenshot.

When I am scolling and the mouse hits an image, a large image preview appears. How on earth do I turn this off? I can see tab preview images to turn off but not this stupid image previre thing that covers everything I am trying to read or navigate on the web site.

Thanks very much M

Since one of your updates, all of my photo files now have your logo on them and I can see any of the thousands of photos I have What the hell did you put in your update? JUST STOP SENDING UPDATES EVERY DAMN TIME I TURN AROUND.

All of a sudden all of my photos in all of my photo files have only your stupid logo on them... I can't see the files let alone any of the photos. WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOUR DAMNED BROWSER AND HOW DID IT EFFECT ALL OF MY PHOTO FILES?

Firefox does not display thumbnails for some photos I've uploaded to Proton Drive. I can view the photos normally when double-clicking on the thumbnail placeholder, but the thumbnails themselves do not appear.

Note: this is not the case for ALL photos (all are JPG format), only some. Proton help desk claims this may be due to Firefox privacy protections, but disabling those protections for their web site has no effect.

Здравствуйте! Я попробую описать проблему на английском и на русском, надеюсь получить ответ и решение как исправить то что я хочу.

В версии браузера Mozilla Firefox 68.0 или Firefox 68.12.0esr прозрачность как в предпросмотре при наведении курсора на вкладку, однако в Mozilla Firefox версии 142.0 или 142.0.1 открыв вкладку, вы увидите замыленность или мутное изображение.

Как видите, на предпросмотре лицо девушки нормальное, прозрачность хорошая, но когда я открываю вкладку, лицо девушки становится мутным. Как сделать прозрачным? как убрать эту мутность?

Hello! I will try to describe the problem in English and in Russian, I hope to get an answer and a solution on how to fix what I want. In Mozilla Firefox 68.0 or Firefox 68.12.0esr browser version, transparency is as in the preview when you hover over the tab, however, in Mozilla Firefox 142.0 or 142.0.1 when you open the tab, you will see a blurred or cloudy image.

As you can see, the girl's face is normal in the preview, the transparency is good, but when I open the tab, the girl's face becomes cloudy. How to make it transparent? how to remove this turbidity in Mozilla Firefox 142.0 or 142.0.1?

I posted 2 files. Blurry is Mozilla Firefox 142.0 or 142.0.1 Where it's transparent, it's old version Mozilla Firefox 68.0

Everytime I drag a GIF image from one tab to an upload box in another, the file uploads as image.png.

I'd love to find a way to solve this so I don't have to go through the whole rigamaroll of downloading a file, uploading a file, and then deleting said file from my downloads folder.

Thanks!

Can someone explain why my PHOTO ALBUMS are not showing up on a website where I'm attempting to upload photos from these albums from my MacBook Air? It does allow me to drag and drop, but the actual albums are not showing up when I 'BROWSE." On my iphone and ipad the individual albums are showing up when I browse in the website to upload. It's only on my MacBook Air that the albums are not showing up. All my photos are there, but not the individual albums.

I'm experiencing an issue when copying PNG images only in the Firefox browser. Here's the problem: When I copy a PNG image and paste it into Photoshop or any other program, I get an image with a black background.

This didn’t happen before, but it started occurring after a few recent updates.

In other browsers, I get a “normal” PNG image with a transparent background.

To replicate this issue, an image from my device is uploaded to a website that requires an image file input; the resulting image displayed on the website becomes corrupted and unreadable. The theory forming currently is the website is having issues retrieving or reading the input images; however, this bug seems to be consistent with several other websites, indicating Firefox is not able to read the images correctly and thus could result in fragmentation. - The image posted is a .png file of a screenshot of an attempt to post a picture to social media, based on the functionality of this bug, I am predicting this image will be fragmented and will only show blue and black lines. The image being posted online is also in a .png file format.

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.

I upgraded my graphics card and monitors to the highest HD quality but Firefox is not rendering the graphics it actually makes the pictures jpegs look very bad. Every thing looks fine on another web browser it is only firefox with this problem. I love fire fox for its privacy so please fix this issue.

The images below are before and after I click on the pictures. When it opens up the picture it graphics go to shit.

Hi everybody, I need a bit of tech help! I have changed some images on my website but Firefox browser still displays the old images! Does anybody know how to correct this? I have the latest version of Firefox. If I use another browser the new images appear! Thanks for your help. Gazza

I'm reading on https://beginningaftertheendmanga.org and there's an extra white space between all of the images which is obviously not supposed to be there. Inspecting the page source shows that there are
tags between all of the images to make them stack vertically. Is there a way to remove the white space introduced by these line breaks?

I've tried switching firefox to compact mode, but it didn't help.

Basically google automatically updated my nightly a while back, and now copying to clipboard doesn't work for images. It works fine on other browsers, and I tried reinstalling too. Running Somy I V

This started today 16-July-25, when scrolling on a web page whenever I stop scrolling with either my finger or my Dell active pen Firefox brings up a window with the site's images with a view button. I don't recall changing any settings or preferences, any and all help is appreciated. Leonard R.
