I'm using Firefox on Windows 11.

Frequently, copy-and-paste quits working.

I restart the browser and refresh the browser; sometimes it starts working, but most of the time it doesn't.

Restarting my computer seems to restore the functionality.

This has been going on for a few months now. Using version 123.0.1 (64-bit).

Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

Hi, I've always run dual monitors with no issues. Since some updates to FF I've had an annoying problem. When I close FF, part of the last page I browsed remains frozen on screen. If I open up any other app and move it over the part frozen FF image, the screen corruption is erased. The problem has remained through at least the last 3 FF updates.

I've been searching everywhere for an answer to this annoying isssue which only ocurred on FF shutdown and not Chrome. Last week I tried a solution which seems to have worked, but I kicked myself afterwards because I can't now recall the web page with the solution and need some help other could benefit from to explain what I did.

I remembered clearing certain caches (?) using FF settings, then deleting or renaming certain json files in a (?) profiles folder which I assumed would be recreated on the next FF boot?

Everyone says my audio sounds distorted in google video chat. I had been using it for months without issue on Firefox, and then I got a new Apple computer and people started to tell me I had this issue. In order to isolate the issue I tried going on Teams Video chat and Zoom video chat and people said my audio sounded fine there. Then I opened Google Video Chat in Google Chrome and people said my audio sounded fine there too. Lately, it's only when I'm on Firefox trying to use Google Video Chat (aka Google Meet) to video chat and people say my audio sounds way too distorted to hear what I'm saying. I restarted my computer, I even checked for the latest browser, which is up to date, I can't figure out how to fix this. Sounds like a firefox issue. Any ideas?

I'm using Kubuntu which uses the Dolphin file manager as default. When I download a file and use the download status icon at top right to check on a downloaded file "Show in folder" it comes up in Thunar.

A minor thing and it is not stopping me from doing the intended action, but the change throws me even so given I rarely use Thunar. I'm not sure it even gets installed with Kubuntu, but it has some special tools Dolphin does not have so I put it on my machine.

Any way to make Firefox show the location of the downloaded file using Dolphin? Didn't find anything where I looked using about:config

Can someone help me tell me what the current trick is to have a text-only (no icons) bookmark bar?

Mozilla, please implement this function so it's easily switchable between text with icon, icon only, and text only.

Thanks all.

I have trouble reading small, thin, and faint text.

I already use about:preferences, userContent.css, and userChrome.css to set my preferred fonts and font sizes. I think I can also use them to set font-weight.

But I want body text to be good and readable, and I still want bold text and header text to stand out. So I don't want to set *everything* to font-weight 500. So is there a way to set a range from 500 to 900, or a minimum of 500 but leave bolder fonts unaffected, or set everything which wasn't already bold to 500, and anything that was to 700?

Dear FF/Mozilla:

I've experienced a number of issues where I'm unable to do banking transactions using the FF browser. In one case, Wells Fargo bill pay does not work (but works fine with MS Edge); in another case, an international money link payment to a vendor in the UK would not go through using Firefox (but did first time with MS Edge). In yet another case, Firefox won't load webpage photos for items for sale on the site www.telescope.com - the page loads with descriptions but photos would not load (I just tried it and, nada). This remains the case even after my VPN is disconnected.

I've used FF for several years now without too much trouble but with this ongoing non-functionality of FF, I'm tempted to migrate to MS Edge or a browser that is supported more widely.

Any help or advice? Thanks, Blaine

The "page info" window showed up when I used ctrl+i to italicize something in a blog post. This has never happened before.

I assume I did something to "enable" it, because right before that I had been typing looking at the screen and not the keys and felt/saw my hands going wonky, but I'm not sure what on earth I did! I asked a friend about it and they said it just seemed like an issue of the browser and website commands fighting, but they weren't sure what to do about it.

Thanks for any insight!

I have three accounts on X/Twitter that I frequently have to switch between. I've just recently migrated to Firefox, but I've found that I cannot switch between these accounts. Whenever I click on another account in the account switcher, it stays on the account I am currently logged into.

Attempted solutions:

  • Refreshed Firefox (temporary fix)
  • Uninstalled uBlock Origin (temporary fix)
  • Uninstalled all extensions (temporary fix)
  • Clear cache/cookies
  • Troubleshoot mode
