This issue only pertains to the Chinese language and is not a website problem. In the startup settings, when the option to open previous windows and tabs is enabled, after keeping several web pages and re-entering the browser, Firefox will attempt to open the previous tabs. However, if a new tab is selected at this time, the search bar should normally display 'Use Baidu to search, or enter a URL,' but in reality, the characters for 'Baidu' appear as garbled text. This bug consistently occurs in this version. This issue only appeared after I automatically updated Firefox a few days ago; I have never encountered this problem before. May I ask everyone, how should this problem be resolved?

I can't remember what it was in previous version of Firefox, but want to know if it's safe to turn on permission, guessing there's a reason why it's now off, thanks

For the past month, out of the blue, I have been unable to play Spotify via my web browser. After troubleshooting with Spotify chat, it seems the issue is actually Firefox, because if I choose to play it via the app installed on my computer, it will play, but not via the web browser.

It was display "Spotify can't play this right now".. then it will skip through three songs, play ads & then will play the first 10 seconds of audio of the next song & then it will cut out.

Anyone else experiencing issues with Spotify via the Firebox web browser?

Hello, apologies if I've chosen the wrong topic area but the options felt a little ambiguous for my issue.

I had a pop-up on my Firefox today inviting me to sign up for the free 50gb VPN thing, it brought me to the accounts.firefox.com page which says "Activate Firefox’s built-in VPN for extra privacy", I press the blue 'Continue' button and absolutely nothing happens. I tried disabling all my extensions just in case one of them is causing an issue, but no success there either.

Is this a known issue, in which case I'll try again later when it's sorted; or is there another way I can redeem the offer?

I continuously have a problem trying to get the location scroll bar to execute when I bookmark an item. It never scrolls twice consecutively, and I have to keep opening and closing the scroll to get it to function properly. I bookmark several news articles, stories, etc. every day, and I get kinda snarly after awhile. Any relevant help would be welcome and appreciated. Thanks.

I purchased a new computer and I saved all my bookmarks from my old computer, as directed in the instructions into a html file and put it on a flash drive. When I go thru the suggested process to import these files from the flash drive, they do not go into the main 'bookmarks toolbar folder in the bookmarks drop down, they install as a separate file in the last section at the bottom as a separate file. Every time I attempt to import the html file of old bookmarks, it goes in the 4th section of the bookmarks drop down as a new folder called ' bookmarks toolbar'. Example: if I import the html file 10 times I then have 10 new 'bookmarks toolbar' folders in the 4th section. As I had before... for several years... I want all my book marks in the drop down tab in the 3rd section (see attachment) 'bookmarks toolbar' which sits just above the 'other bookmarks' file... not in a folder below in the 4th section. Help...

Firefox Add-Ons Store Throwing Error - Not Working

Hello,

When attempting to download extensions on the addons.mozilla.org site, I am continually met with a "An Unexpected Error Occurred." Sometimes clearing cookies fixes the issue, although sometimes I have to clear cookies and restart the browser. This is an issue that has persisted despite changing profiles - even when creating brand new ones to check.

I am stumped because every other mozilla page seems to work fine and about:addons seems to work fine until I try to download one of the recommended extensions there. It then throws the same error, or my inputs just don't work. When I try to open an addons' page in a new tab it just doesn't load. The site will not load in Troubleshoot mode either.

My extensions seem to be working fine! Thus I am really stumped and cannot figure out the issue. I have tried turning my VPN (Proton) off, but that has not seemed to have an effect on the issue. I perused the form but didn't see anything immediately that seemed similar to my issue. Can anyone help?
