I'm having issues trying to use the manage colors settings for contrast control. I've been experimenting with changing the boxes for text and background under the "link colors" column, but I don't understand what the second column of boxes on the right side are. I'm actually trying this as a work around for an issue with visited link colors under the use system settings option--they turn purple against a black background so they're almost unreadable. I've asked about this before with no solution. Thanks for any help Karen F,

Note: the following is an editted version. 20250706 13:02

when i MUTE some tabs (using the native FF tab mute icon on the tab) sound is muted for just that tab. HOWEVER, it also mutes ALL SYSTEM sounds.

This occurs both with my regular profile and using a default profile for my version (which has NO ADDONS).

It seems to depend on the type of delivery of the music. (Or something!)

This occurs for the following URLs:

   https://14223.live.streamtheworld.com/WRTI_CLASSICAL.mp3
   https://areena.yle.fi/podcastit/ohjelmat/57-llL6Y4blL

However, rather interestinly, it DOES NOT OCCUR for the "standard" WRTI radio station:

   https://www.wrti.org/classical-playlist-search
it seems UNREASONABLE THAT A WEB SITE SHOULD BE ABLE TO EXERT ANY CONTROL upon system sounds.   So, I must presume this is a FF bug; however, I have not posted it as such (having no confirmation from others).

Hi,

 Only in Firefox on my windows 10 pro pc do I have to keep on signing into Homedepot.com with a security code?
 So I looked up the problem and one of the solutions (I tried a few) is to clear the old chache and cookies?
 Trying to do this.... get link after link after link.....after link.

How do you do it?

  Wish I can upload something... but can't upload what you can't find?

Thanks, Julio

When opening Firefox, the screen turns white before page opens! There is a version that was updated for this issue however,at that time I did not have this issue! After downloading the newer version, I now have this white light issue! I like to mention, my computer never crashed! I believe (134.0.3), was the update that was a fix for the White Screen problem. And, I am using ver-139.0.4 (64 bit) (win. 10-64 bit) I appreciate any help with this issue! Thank you!!! geo (7/6/2025)

Page blocked by Firefox

Hello,

I have no idea who is going to read this, but I was in my Cell Phone companies’ site today and got an error message that Firefox would not show the bill details. Some stupid thing about other web sites and sealing my information. I needed that page and could not see so I had to use another browser (not Chrome or Edge) to get the bill to display.

I then had a coupon to print from an e-mail from my Pharmacy. Again you gave an error message but did download the coupon to where I save things.

I do not want to use Chrome or Edge as they track the S**t out of you. I have another that is laid out like Chrome but supposedly isn’t and I use that. I have to pay for that one. The main thing these browsers don’t have is the Menu Bar at the top and you cannot put it on. I use that to free up screen space that is lost the way they do things.

Can you PLEASE get things right in Firefox so I don’t have to waste my time or worse have to use this other browser I hate.

Hi, I'm trying to open pages in my old HP Mediasmart. I can access the NAS on my netwark but when I try to open most icon I get PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR.

I have my security software paused. Does this mean the NAS can't be used anymore?

I use Windows 10Pro, an Asus modem and I'm connect to the NAS by ethernet.

Of course happy to provide more details on request.

Cheers, John
