I collected screen shots for doc. I get the message that there is a problem sending the report to Firefox. Website is: https://signin.guardianlife.com/signin https://customeraccess.guardianlife.com/overview

I tried starting with all extensions disabled - same results.

Is the development crew monitoring this? Something changed with this release that's causing this. I wouldn't mind if it didn't work, but crashing the browser is a no-no.

Hello,

First off, I have been trolling the internet for a few days trying to find the answer to this with no avail.

I want to be able to keep Firefox up to date without any user interaction, or having to launch the application. I DO NOT want to see "Firefox is installing updates" splash screen when i try to launch the browser, i want this installed already hence what the background installer is suppose to be for.

When I launch Brave it NEVER asks me to update, nor do i see any screen that says installing updates, etc.. , yet it is always up to date. This is the behavior that I want in Firefox. I should not have to see a splash screen when i launch Firefox saying installing updates when I have it set to background updates which should be silent. So, Firefox will never be up to date unless someone opens it.

I have set install updates, when not running and use background service to install.

I also changed the config IF needed for the following in about:config: user_pref("app.update.langpack.enabled", false); user_pref("app.update.auto.migrated", true); user_pref("app.update.background.enabled", true);

I completely installed nightly version for the first time to test out settings as it updates frequently and is using a new profile( FF profile that is). Yet this issue continues to happen where I see a splash screen, sometimes the browser launches, then closes, then that splash screen pops up saying that it is installing updates then the browser re-opens again. This is sloppy behavior and needs to be corrected

What is the point of having a background installer if it does not work as a true background installer?

As I have stated This happens on three different machines and version versions of Firefox. I have not found anything for this as all my search results come up regarding installing Firefox silently from cmd, or enable auto updates. I want a completely silent update similar to how brave/chrome works.

Thank you for your time.

After the last update whenever I use the Firefox browser are extremely zoomed in.

Using a viewport checker, its showing for some reason Firefox is displaying my DPR at 1.40. Default settings should usually have it at 1.00

However going into the setting shows everything with Firefox IS set to default (for example zoom is set at 100%, etc)

After trying to find a fix myself I found old Firefox forums suggestions to go into the config and adjust a certain value (the layout.css.devPixelsPerPx) which defaults to -1.0. While adjusting this value to about 0.75 made what appears in the browser window return to normal, the actual parts of the browser (the address bar, tabs etc) were made unreadably small.

I'm having to use Firefox with every single website zoomed out to 70%-80% cause whatever that last update did broke my broswer. Apart from the above fix I tried normal fixes such as clearing cache, doing a "refresh" of Firefox install.

To put it in short: Everything on my screen, when using firefox, from the bottom of the address bar down to the bottom of the screen, is about 40% zoomed in, however none of the settings are shown to have been changed from the default values.

I am doing some web scraping, and i noticed a problem i am having. When i set the advanced preferences at about:config as such: print_printer = Mozilla Save as PDF and print.always_print_silent = true , then a pop up shows up and exclaims : The selected printer could not be found. If print.always_print_silent is set to false, then it works, or even if is true, if i set the print_printer as something else like: Microsoft Print to PDF, it works. Just the combination that i need isn't working. Is this a general problem or is it something else. Here are all my current customized preferences.

I would greatly appreciate you help.

I have Windows 10 scaling set at 140%. This morning when I started Firefox, the scaling jumped to 175. If I change it back to 140% in Windows 10, it changes to 175% as soon as I start Firefox.

Is there a way to stop this?

Can I revert to the previous version of Firefox pre-this update - I find this GUI very difficult to manage. Everything comes up too large - and websites I'm accustomed to operating on are totally reorganized and have become hard to use.
