Hi,

I've been trying to solve this issue for the past several months with no avail. I tried configuring some settings via about:config with:

gfx.webrender.compositor - false widget.windows.window_occlusion_tracking.enabled - false


I also unchecked both "Use hardware acceleration when available" and the "use recommended performance setting".

Essentially, I want to be able to watch movies/videos on sites like Netflix and Hulu. Right now only a black screen shows with the audio playing or the screen is frozen in one scene and the audio continues playing.

Does anyone know what else I can do to solve this problem?

I have a Netgear ReadyNAS RN214 and I can no longer access the admin login of this device. Other browsers can access it. It's accessed via http://IP/admin/. Changing it to https://IP/admin doesn't work either. Seems like this started after firefox updated beyond V135.0.1 as I have a PC still using the old version and it works.

Either way that I enter the address Firefox does nothing just sits there showing the busy icon on the tab. No error message or code. Sure would be nice to get a little hint about why it can't load the page.

   The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
   Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem.

What is the problem with Firefox? Is it s dangerous un-secure webpage now? Can Firefox still be trusted?

Hi,

On my company's Outlook (365), when I start a new email the font on the first line *says* that it's Calibri - like I set in my email settings - but it appears to be an entirely different font. Also in Outlook, when I type 1st it changes the '1' and the 's' to superscript, makes the 't' regular sized, and will not allow me to place a space after the 't'. I have to hit 'enter', then space, then continue typing and then go back and remove the 'enter'.

In OneDrive, I'll open it from the 9 dots at the top left of Outlook and OneDrive will load. However, a moment later it often asks me to 'sign in', even though I've clearly been signed in for some time. Sometimes I can bypass it, but often the page won't work right until I click the 'sign in' pop-up. Then, it disappears, refreshes the page and it works fine; without me actually signing in.

I bring these two issues up at the same time, because they began at the same time. I believe it started in January or early February, if that helps. I waited to seek help, expecting it could have been caused by a recent update that would be corrected later. I recently saw that Firefox released an update and my browser auto-updated, but the issues persist.

I've reached out to Microsoft for support on this and we found the issues only occurred in Firefox, so I'm here to ask for some help, please.

Thanks.

There are site links that won't open or work in Foxfire but will in Chrome, using Windows 10

Sometimes the site will give me an error sometimes they don't. One recent try said "captcha failed" but there was no visible captcha to act on.

This seems to only happen on a "submit" link.

Are there any settings in Firefox that would fix this? I prefer using Firefox over Chrome.

Thanks, Rick

We have been using firefox as our default browser for over Ten years. We have several internal web pages created with google sites, with simple google sheets containers that have been working fine in that period. As of two days ago, the pages started displaying incorrectly in firefox as shown in attachments. Have tried disabling trackers and extensions and emptied cache as well as making sure firefox is fully up to date. This is happening on multiple terminals at several locations. Safari and chrome browsers work fine. Any troubleshooting help appreciated or if this is a known bug?

You are fools. With the new desktop version you destroyed all my settings, all the sites I have remembered for years, without asking me if I wanted it because you turn off all my extension. You shameless idiots, you have destroyed all my years of work. And now I have an empty Firefox. Since it is empty, I will never work with you again, because I do not know what you fools can do, and you do not even ask me. I will switch to a new, smarter browser.

Hi there folks,

recaptcha pop up window does not appear even though I know its there (in comparison to chrome). The result is that the main window may be slightly greyed out or look normal but I cannot move on in the dialogue (for example when I have completed a form and want to submit).

Very frustrating because: 1. I have to move over to chrome where there are no such issues 2. I am increasingly having to default to chrome which I don't want to do

Any help most welcome! Copper 102
