Hi Why does the size of the images change when opening the images in the Firefox browser and larger images are displayed? This problem does not exist in version 100.

please check it
7% is added to the height and width.

I tested it in the version 100 of your browser and there was no problem

Something EXTREMELY STRANGE is going on. I'm not even going to pretend i understand why, but i know what weird stuff fixes it.

Youtube causes a ton of slowdown and memory/cpu usage on my laptop. Im not sure if its because of google making youtube run worse on other browsers or its because my laptop is an old macbook air. probably both.

Heres the extremely strange part, When i put the video into picture in picture and switch to another tab, the lag just stops and it runs perfectly smooth and causes no tempurature increase, fans spinning up, or anything else indicating heavy memory consumption.

It isnt even youtube scaling it down because its in a lower size in the picture in picture thing either. I can double click on the picture in picture thing in another tab that isnt youtube and it runs just as fine in perfect quality.

First image at 62% is youtube when in the youtube tab the second image is youtube when in picture in picture while not in the youtube tab

Hello!

Currently, I have a network printer added to my computer. When I want to print something with Firefox (either a webpage or a PDF) and the printer is online everything works fine. However, when the printer is offline (turned off) the printing dialog stays on "Preparing preview". I tried waiting for over 5 minutes and the dialog keeps loading on "Preparing preview".

I tried replicating this issue in Chrome. Chrome just switches to another printer if the currently selected printer is offline. The remote printer doesn't even appear on the printers list if its offline.

I found this issue which describes the problem I'm experiencing, https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=427285 However, it seems that it wasn't solve.

Is there any way to fix this issue? Thanks

When Firefox is in fullscreen, whenever I click on any toolbar item, bookmark folder or extension, the dialogue box only stays open for a couple of seconds before closing.

A similar behaviour happens when I right click (anywhere): the right-click dialogue box opens but only shows me options related to my extensions (for instance, ublock's "block element...") for a few seconds before disabling this section of the box.

The dialogue box from the item I clicked on only stays open for a bit before abruptly closing without me asking it to do so. Basically, it acts as if I click somewhere else to close the dialogue box, although I don't. The amount of time the box stays open isn't fixed, but rarely goes beyond 2 seconds.

The bug only happens when Firefox is in fullscreen. When it's in a reduced window, the box stays open as long as I do not click elsewhere.

Here is a video recording in which I try to show the bug. On the first half of the vid, I only click once on the items, and the dialogue boxes disappear by themselves. Second half of the vid, FF is in a reduced window, and the bug disappears: the dialogue boxes stay open until I clic

This only happens on Firefox. Even Librewolf and Tor, installed on the same computer, don't have the same behaviour.

The last couple of days I've had a couple instances where firefox crashes in a way that i don't immediately notice except for the fact that all extensions stop working until i either manually turn them off and on again via the addons and themes menu, or turn the browser on and off.

The crash id's ive gotten are

Crash ID: 4a65ed12-a5e9-46f8-82e9-ebc8a0221225

Crash ID: 7cdc00ad-139a-41a6-9b41-363e90221225

In the last month or 2 when i search in google (using mozilla) and click on any results that show in the top/ads section>>> I receive the following Bitly error.

"Something's wrong here. This is a 404 error, which means you've clicked on a bad link or entered an invalid URL. Maybe what you are looking for can be found at Bitly.com. P.S. Bitly links are case sensitive."

I never had it in the past and if i copy/paste in Microsoft Edge>>>it works. It is really annoying and if i can't find the answer> I will be forced to change browsers! (which i dont want to do/been with Firefox/Mozilla forever!)

Someone- Please help!!!

When I first open Firefox flashes open closes really fast then will open on 2nd try. This only happens on first time after start up from total shut down. It will not repeat if windows has not been turned off. No crash reports are found from about:crashes, and windows cannot find "%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Crash Reports\submitted" when I entered it. I just built this this PC after black Friday with good parts, my last build is 14 years old and still runs. This just started a few days ago. Thanks for any help you might me. Philip

I am using Firefox on a new computer and it IS set at the default browser. But when I am in other programs and click a link (Thunderbird, LibreOffice, etc.), the link does NOT open in Firefox. Is there a setting I need to change to fix this?

Hi I'm using version 108.0.1 and have noticed when trying to play videos on YouTube I get an error message saying "if playback doesn't begin shortly, try restarting your device." I have tried clearing all cookies, removing all add-ons, running the browser in troubleshoot mode and reverting back to an older version (107.0.1) with nothing seeming to work. I have encountered a similar problem when using Sound Cloud where the song i try to play doesn't load and it continuously skips to the next track until i press the pause button.

This also isn't an issue with the account I'm using as the same happens when logged out and playback works fine on the same account on different devices.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I use a mac mini with firefox

The menu bar on the right hand corner and Add Ons Close immediately when trying to open when the window is minimized. From research I thought it might be extensions. I checked and everything is fine. I also tried to refresh Firefox and that did not work. I did notice when I put the window to full view everything works fine. I am wondering why it does not work properly when the window is minimized to a smaller view. Your help would be appreciated.

Sometimes, unpredictably, the browser stops working in a way that the page stops working, and trying to reload the page, open a new tab, or even save the content on a page, simply doesn't work. The singlefile extension fails, and I can't just disable it, and re-enable it, the browser won't let me do that, either. The browser's built-in save function won't even progress to completion. That is inconvenient when I'm trying to save chat, or some other ephemeral thing, that won't be available after restarting the browser. I don't want this to happen anymore. I don't want this situation to recur. I'm not sure what to do to prevent it in the future. I'm not sure what causes this mess. I don't know what else to say about it. Please tell me what I'm doing wrong, and how to fix this?

The browser seemed to be in the throes a crash, but it just wouldn't finish itself off. So I killed the main process, which I thought should trigger a crash report, but it didn't.

I'm still using Windows 7. When I try to set up a GoogleGroup using Firefox and check "I am not a robot" it just spins and after 15 seconds or so just goes nowhere. But when I use Chrome, I have no problem being approved by Captcha. How can I fix it so that I can do the same via FireFox?

Every time I use the developer tools, as soon as a suggestion is shown, it blocks the complete UI and I cannot do anything anymore. Only closing Firefox and restarting makes it go away.

See also the image for an example, in that case I inspect an HTML element, try to add a CSS property, but once I type something, Firefox shows the suggested properties and from that moment on the UI is blocked. The suggestions don't go away anymore, I cannot click on any buttons, I cannot change tabs, nothing. The mouse over works, because I see tabs highlighting when I move the mouse, but nothing happens on a click.

This also happens in the other tabs of the tools. For example in the network tab, when I hover over a picture and it shows a thumbnail, it also freezes the UI.

This is on MacOS 12.5.1, FF 108.0.1 and with all extensions and plug ins disabled.

I have tried every solution on this issue from re-installing it to checking virus or malware but firefox seems to keep losing tabs.

I did notice how this issues started with me trying to press ctrl+F5 which seems to have messed Firefox up as well as Chrome broowser.

I have also made sure its up to date too.

Can anyone help please as it very annoying losing your tabs..

I thought again Id lost tabs but this time I tried pressing the ctrl+F5 and again strange but the tabs re appeared the screen also seems to go to teh left like its going to another monitor which I do not have any added onto this computer.

I have also pined teh tabs and still lose them

Using Firefox for years on MAC. Since upgrading to 108.0.1 printing no longer works. PDF using either printer icon on page or Apple& P keys, get waiting circle saying "preparing...) running indefinitely, can get out only by escape key. Same page can be instantly downloaded and printed outside Firefox, or printed on Safari. I have rebooted system to no avail. Since problem coincided with update to this update I am treating it as a bug in version. MAC OS is 10.13.6 High Sierra and exhibiting no other issues.
