I am using version 140 on Linux and now two company sites do not work properly when "enhanced trakcing protection" is enabled. The 2 companies are "public mobile" a Cell phone provider and "Voip.ms" a phone provider.

When I log onto public mobile I cannot view my specific account information, I can see other menu information. voip.ms I cannot log on either chat or the main customer portal. This only recently changed within the last 4 days and I am using the same version of firefox.

Can you provide an explanation as to why this is occurring?

YouTube videos encoded at 60 frames per second are extremely choppy in Firefox only. Microsoft Edge plays the same videos perfectly.

I have deleted my profile and reinstalled Firefox, updated graphics driver to the latest version, and toggled hardware acceleration on and off. Nothing helps.

The app sizes two adjacent images to the same height. Maybe there's a better approach?

This works, in that I see the original image displayed at the wrong size:

   //img.src = imgsrc.src;

This sizes the image but without the data (black square for toDataURL w/ image/jpeg) in FF, but not Chrome and Safari:

   var canvas = document.createElement( 'canvas' );
   canvas.width = width;
   canvas.height = avail_height;
   var context = canvas.getContext( '2d' );
   // Tried/failed: Fill white background for JPEG export
   //context.fillStyle = '#fff';
   //context.fillRect(0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);
   context.drawImage( imgsrc, 0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);
   context.lineWidth = 150; // ??
   img.src = canvas.toDataURL('image/jpeg', 0.92);
   img.onmousedown = disableDragging; // for FF
   img.style.opacity = "1.0"

The page is the view.html one gets to via Enter on phobrain.com.

Images from canvas black or transparent: img.src = canvas.toDataURL(); // FF: 'image/jpeg'=black. Png,webp,default=transparent.

I don't know if this ever worked in FF, since I've been on Chrome a while. I tried canvas.toBlob() in FF without a solution.

The behavior is the same whether the served image is jpg or webp. A Servlet delivers the image data, here in webp:

          response.setHeader("Content-Type", "image/webp");

On page, I use a canvas thus => see '// FIREFOX'

     var canvas = document.createElement( 'canvas' );
     canvas.width = width;
     canvas.height = avail_height;
     var context = canvas.getContext( '2d' );
     context.drawImage( imgsrc, 0, 0, width, avail_height);
     context.lineWidth = 150;
     // FIREFOX: canvas.toDataURL('image/jpeg')=black, png,webp,default=transparent
     img.src = canvas.toDataURL('image/jpeg');
     img.onmousedown = disableDragging; // for FF
     img.style.opacity = "1.0";
     console.log('setImg ok');

Inspecting a black jpeg:

        data:image/jpeg;base64,...

Thanks!

All of a sudden Firefox started to use alt+number (e.g. alt+3) to switch to that tab (i.e. tab 3 in my example).

Why? How do I disable this? It prevents me from typing any of the special characters that are located on alt + any number key. E.g. I can type the at-sign, not the dollar, or any such character which requires the alt-modifier and a number.

I was asked to create a new profile in order to keep using Firefox, despite never having an account. After I clicked okay, it opened the new version of Firefox, but without all the passwords, bookmarks and history of the past few years. This is really inconvenient. I have since then made an account, but the fact that I can't find any of this data anywhere has me worried that every time I update Firefox it will wipe my account.

I keep a lot of tabs open (~60) in any particular session - I find it's faster in this way to get back to a site.

About every six months or so, I lose *all* these tabs because of Firefox's inadequate session backup system. It only saves two or three total backups, some of which are completely out of date. But the worst scenario is when (1) some site pops up a new window; (2) I mistakenly close my main window before the new window; (3) I open this new saved window once or twice by accident, causing my 60-tab session backup to be overwritten.

Using a third-party session manager (I have tried all the well-known ones) can mitigate this problem, but doesn't really solve it because the re-opened sessions aren't quite in the same format as Firefox sessions and so lose information. In particular, I often lose each tab's icon as well as metadata for Tree Style Tab.

Could Mozilla please consider a more robust session backup system for Firefox? All it would take (I think) is to allow the user to choose the total number of backup sessions and the frequency at which a new session is added. Thank you!

I have Firefox running on 3 machines, only one of them is synced to my Firefox account, so that means that I am not running the same addons on all of them. I have Firefox running on Windows 10 and the two other are running on Windows 11. From time to time, I notice that Firefox is running slow and its unable to open normal websites like facebook, instagram, youtube, or any other website that I normally browse, and when I check the Task Manager I can notice one unusual exe running named "crashhelper.exe" which is located in the Firefox installation directory and its signed by Mozilla. Once I kill this task Firefox continues working as nothing happened. This is happening since the last update which was few weeks ago (if I remember correctly). What is this app doing and why it is making Firefox stop opening websites?

So I've got 6 tabs open in Firefox, all working properly. To help me focus on another task, I open a 2nd window in Firefox. It is, however, blank and unresponsive, doesn't show any extensions in the toolbar, but does show "Firefox View" which I don't normally have showing. I can only close the new window by using Task Manager to shut Firefox down completely or by right-clicking in the Taskbar on the dead window and selecting "close window". What's going on here? First image: working tabs, Second image: unresponsive new window. Regards, Ian Firefox 140.0b2 (64-bit) Windows 10 Pro
