This is a privacy problem, because most of the time when I open a website like google.com, I don't want to be logged in so the website can identify me. I only keep a container tab for such a website around, so I can open it if I explicitly want to be logged in.

I recently tried to connect to two different meeting sites. Both times I got a pop-up noting (correctly) that camera and microphone are blocked. I'm able to click to enable the microphone but I never get the option to enable the camera.

I tried going to Settings>Security&Privacy>Camera but that only allows me to remove previously-enabled websites.

Clicking on the settings button in the address bar shows audio and recording settings but no camera.

What am I doing wrong?

Hi Community,

Whenever I am shopping online on my Macbook (MacOS Sierra 15.7.2) Firefox will begin to freeze and then hang on the checkout page. I notice this happens most often with Shop/Shopify websites. Can someone help? This behavior seemed to begin this year about 6 months ago. I end up having to go Safari and reload my page, find the items again, and then I can check out. So problem is something about Firefox and my machine.

Thank you,

SAnd

Today, all of a sudden, I lost my usual browser window that displayed all my bookmarks. The browser window looked completely different in a bad way and I have lost quick access to my most familiar sites. Moreover, the page displays sponsored ads, none of which is either of my choosing or of my liking. I am completely disoriented and Firefox has greatly disappointed me. Please help!

Hey Forum, 2 problems.

  1. 1. - I have been having some problems w/my paypal account. Someone has been trying to hack into it. Twice in two weeks. I talked to a paypal tech and was told that they are accessing my emails. And she advised changing my email password. I have use Tbird for several years and don't remember having a password. But if I do, where is it, and how do I change it?
  2. 2 - For awhile now I have been getting an error message when trying to send an email. (I can recieve, but not send). it says: "Enter your password for ***********@suddenlink.net on smtpsuddenlink.net" Where would I find such a password and where is smtpsuddenlink.net? Also could the above problem be related to this one? They started about the same time.

Can't create or use Passkey in Firefox Android, Waterfox or Firefox Nightly

I have a Pixel 8 Pro, I 'see' Paypal passkeys created by my Win 11 machine and by Chrome on my Pixel 8 Pro. The passkey page on PayPal says passkeys can't be created on 'this device or browser'. Exact same screen on all three firefox browsers.

Tried creating a passkey for www.yahoo.com and it says 'Passkey could not be created. Try Again' So that says it's not specific site related. Can a site dictate what's allowed? ( I have no idea)

Most sites seems to specify the browsers accepted but I assume that's just regurgitating the specs and usually out of date?

I saw the post from September that said it was fixed in Nightly, but that doesn't seem to be the case in the current Nightly from the Play Store.

Firefox on Debian 13 with XFCE: Firefox doesn't respect my GTK theme, except if the theme's name ends with "-dark"

Hello,

I just set up a computer with Debian 13 'Trixie', and I downloaded and installed the latest Firefox for Linux (version 145) from Mozilla's site.

Then I noticed at first that it wasn't following my GTK theme. Then after testing a bit, I discovered it would respect only themes with names that end in "-dark". I've taken some screenshots and attached them to demonstrate the problem.

firefox-esr from Debian's repositories didn't have this problem. But also, I've got another computer that still has an older distro (Debian 11) installed, and I'm running the latest firefox 145 on that too, and it always respects my GTK theme regardless of whether its name ends in "-dark". So, perhaps this is a GTK/GTK4 problem or something?

Does anyone know about this issue, can anyone help? I would really like Firefox to respect my choice of theme regardless of whether the theme's name ends with "-dark" or not.

Hello,

I had been using Thunderbird as my email App for very long time. About a few years ago I stopped using it, due to some annoying errors.

I installed the new version a few days ago, however I am some issues:

1. I want to change the default email composing font type and font color. I made changes in the setting and config editor as well. When I start creating an email the font type and color shown is correct. However, as soon as I start typing the default takes over.

2. I have about 50, 000 emails, which I keep for references (ATT-Yahoo). Every evening all the messages disappear, except for about 2000. Then, in the mornings, I have to restart the app and it starts to download "AGAIN". Please advise.

Not receiving email from certain "institutions;" seems OK from individuals, but can't be sure. Use Outlook address as main "give out" address. All mail is autoforwarded to a Gmail address where Tbird picks it up. Been happening for a while, but this is todays experience. Intermountain Healthcare (IHC) sent me an email with a verification code for my email address. Never arrived. Went to Outlook.live.com > not there. Went to Gmail.google.com > not there. Does this imply it's IHCs fault? REALLY having trouble resolving this. Suspected it has happened with other "institutions" as well, as phone calls indicated emails had been sent. Have created "Message filter" that runs before spam classification that moves messages from IHC addresses to my inbox, but doesn't seem to help. Any help appreciated.

Hey folks,

I’m not a great user of “forum solutions” simply because due to an accident and head trauma I have developed quite severe concentration issues, or lack of concentration issues however you would like to look at it.

So if you have an idea about my problem give it to me like I’m a 10 year old.

My situation started about three updates ago, and is as follows.

If I open up a new tab or I open up a link into a new tab or window that tab or window will often not scroll. I did eventually discovered that if I click on the “ reload current page” icon up on the toolbar it then scrolls with no issue whatsoever.

I do understand that this is not an end of the world situation, but is happening with greater frequency and it is an irritation which at times really starts to grind that every time I open a new tab I then have to reload that tab in order to get it to operate.

Suggestions welcome.
