Firefox Support Forum

Attempting to access BBC's "The Essential List": Information states

"This page is best viewed in an up-to-date web browser with style sheets (CSS) enabled.

What are they talking about and does it apply to Firefox?

Thanks. Appreciate help.

Merry Christmas & the rest . . .

Following is the link(as a example) and there are many other forms also which are not working in my browser, but are working fine in Google Chrome Browser. https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=8UXaNizdH02vE1q-RrmZIbWv986yhRlFvG4VkjASqEZUMUNSOUcxV1ZVQzJIUFY0RzlYVjdJSTdXUy4u

Recently my digital newspaper freezes after reading the paper for a while. If I use a different browser it does not freeze. I have 2 digital subscriptions and it happens on both subscriptions. The app starts and works fine for a while but then it starts freezing until it stops responding entirely. Eventually I have to restart the app.

I subscribe to a publication called Nikkei Asia. Their site is asia.nikkei.com.

I get regular e-mails from them with headlines. If I click on these to 'READ MORE' I cannot because the login box doesn't appear.

To access the content of the publication I have to log in, using the login box that appears on the first page of the site. BUT using Firefox, which is my regular, default browser NO login box appears.

If I use another browser (e.g. Safari) the login box appears automatically.

So what's the problem. This is an important news site for me so if I can't solve this, I will probably switch my default browser to Safari.

Any idea what's wrong?

This is an annoying, but kinda funny, problem. Every time I try getting to a website that starts with "gen", I get this url, gentlemansgazette.com that shows up. I've tried "shift + del", I've removed it from my history. It isn't book marked. It keeps popping up and it's incredibly annoying.

Can someone here tell me how to fix this? It's above "suggestions" so its not a part of that, I don't think. I did include a screenshot but I'm not sure if its going to show.

Thank you!

Greetings,

So I would like to elaborate on my original query. When one searches for text on a web-page (ctl-f), all visible occurrences of that text (any case, any wildcard) will be highlited nicely. In the search bar at the bottom, you can click up-chevron, or down-chevron to have the page move-to and present each occurrence of that text nicely.

However, if you click a chevron, and that next occurrence of text is NOT presented (the web-page does not advance to wherever that text exists), then you know that occurrence of text is hidden, perhaps "in a frame" somewhere. Firefox does not highlite which frame. You would essentially need to click on everything that needs a click-to-open/expand, in the entire page, in oder for the Firefox search to then reveal that text.

That *severely* reduces the usefulness of Firefox's search a page for text. We are astonished that this issue has not been raised by anyone else (afaik).

How does one ask Firefox coders to take a look into this? Thanks again. Jason.

Greetings,

Often when Searching the contents of the current web page for text, some words are hidden or backgrounded, and not visible, as we cycle through the search counter.

How can we reveal those words on the page, that are hidden like ghosts? Thank you. All Replies (1) cor-el cor-el

Are you sure that these results aren't hidden because of search settings like "Match Case" or "whole Words" ?

If you use Quick Find then these settings are hidden and you need to open the Find bar via Ctrl+F.

If the results are in an iframe and aren't visible (i.e. you need to scroll this frame) then they might not be found.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration or userChrome.css is causing the problem.

   switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Themes
   do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Safe Mode start window

Recently I have found that I frequently have to "clear all history" in order to have various websites work properly. Example: Facebook and my on-line banking. Occasionally when I try open my on-line bank I get the message saying it (Firefox?) cannot find any account information, or it will display some but not all of my account information. In Facebook, often now many drop down items will not work such as deleting a post, or none of the post pictures will display. It now seems that it is happening more frequently and has become a real pain to clear history and then reload a website. I never seem to have this problem using another browser, which leads me to believe the problems lies with Firefox.

I am becoming very disenchanted with Firefox and am considering using a new browser on a regular basis if this continues.

So why is this happening, and what is the solution to fix this monumental problem?

Hi Firefox,

I am not a fan of these pre-installled themes. I was given no choice with the update and then found the browser had switched to dark without my asking. I would like to have the same look I had before the change, which was Firefox default.

That's what I am used to and it is disrupting my browsing experience trying to deal with something that looks different, not to mention the frustration of wasting time looking through themes without avail to try and find one that takes to what it was.

So could I ask please can we either have the option to switch themes off and just have things work the way they used to be? Or else maybe an option where we could download and install a theme that is called something like Firefox Classic/Default? If such a thing already exists I would appreciate if someone could point out where to find it.

I use Firefox for Facebook game called Family Farm. My neighbors will not load and a few other glitches. I know it is Firefox because I had to download Chrome and played on it. Chrome loads my neighbors on Facebook. Also for some reason Firefox is hogging my memory then crashing. It takes a while to crash but still should not be happening. I cleared cache and optimized and everything to maintenance my computer. Any help appreciated.

Firefox is not rendering twitchy.com properly. (Checked against MS Edge, which works fine.)

Images are not loading.

Writing this feels a little like having a time bomb open as I'm using the Firefox browser. Of course, I’m not *certain* it’s Firefox causing the crashes, but it seems like it.

Using Firefox > seemingly on click (no specific type of object that I’ve discerned) but once in a while just if I have the browser open in the background > computer freezers > fans whir at max for about a second > computer crashes & automatically restarts

This happened once before. I’m assuming by the version number that it might be due to a new update. Before, I put up with it for a couple days then it went away on its own. This was months ago but fewer than 6 months. My computer is in good condition (no falls or rough treatment, it’s a 2019, the hard drive isn’t anywhere near full, etc) so it really SHOULDN’T be something failing, but the sequence of events is so weird.

Anyone else experiencing this on 95.0.1? Has anyone else experienced this before? Already tried a fresh install. Going to see if I can revert to 94.something to test my theory that it is Firefox… and save me from having to use some other browser. I have a text file of the crash output that gets sent to Apple but I do not see a good way to attach it here.
