Now I know what may be causing it but you offer no solution.

Hi,

I'm using Firefox 155.0.1 64bits, in Linux Mint Debian Edition 7, x11, XFCE4. I have a Belgian keyboard. I have noticed that the dead keys aren't working any more when typing text / messages from within Firefox. I don't have this problem in other browsers or applications.

I used xev (x11 utility) to check if the dead keys were working and tested a different keyboard, all work. I tried to start Firefox in safe mode or by starting Firefox from a terminal with the following commands: - env GTK_IM_MODULE=xim firefox - env GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus firefox

But nothing worked. The dead keys aren't working. The issue must come from Firefox for it is not an hardware issue (tried different keyboards) nor software (dead keys work in other applications).

Any idea to fix this ?

After updating from Firefox 154 to 155.0 on Windows 11, the download progress indicator on the Windows taskbar icon no longer appears at all.

What I see: - While a download is in progress, only the circular progress on the in-window Downloads button is visible. - There is no progress bar/fill on the Firefox taskbar icon, even when the window is focused and the Downloads panel is open. - In Firefox 154 this taskbar progress worked. - Chrome on the same PC still shows download progress on the taskbar correctly.

I checked about:config for anything related to taskbar/download progress and found nothing that controls this.

Is the Windows taskbar download progress still expected to work in Firefox 155, or was it removed/changed? Has anyone else noticed this?

Thanks.

My font on some sites is being forced to this horrible condensed font and it's seemingly nothing to do with my font settings in browser. Thing is, I VAGUELY remember changing a setting SOMEWHERE to actually do this, but it's not the main font setting in accessibility. Furthermore this issue has only started happening in the last day or two and my vague memory of setting my font somewhere was years ago.

Is there any other setting in Firefox that affects default font for certain sites?

[Images attached from terraria.wiki.gg in a normal tab (with bad font) and private browsing tab (with the font it SHOULD have) for comparison]

My browser window (not my private browser window, however, is starting to show text in web pages as a reverse Hebrew font. I can't figure out why. Translations are turned off and it happens on a lot of different sites. There is a screenshot attached. How can I make it stop!!!

Since the last update (I know that Firefox DE is a beta/semi-nightly release, I just want to know if this is my mistake or a bug), only my first firefox window has address bar, all the other windows don't. And when tabs are vertical, the rest of the windows don't even have a title bar. (This behavior doesn't apply to newly created windows) Also, non-primary windows also lose the capacity to resize the vertical tab bar. ¿Did I do something wrong or is this a bug?

Where is a link, icon, or ANY WAY to add a shortcut site to my Ubuntu FF **DESKTOP** homescreen?

I already have 4 rows (since 2013 over many Linux laptops. Ubuntu, Mint, popOS, and now Ubuntu 26.04 LTS).

There is room in the fourth row for a few more. BUT I don't see any icon or link or right-click option to add another!

Phrasing the article search various ways gets me a lot of unrelated stuff.

EVERY help article, of which there are few, seems to have a BIG-ASSumption that everyone is using mobile Firefox.

NO! NO three dots. No right click brings up anything. NOTHING in settings. I've been through everything in the 3-bar menu, and there is NOTHING. (I already use it to sync, go to OTHER settings, go to help, etc.)

This is a day after an update, though I don't know how that affects it.

Usually if I forget how I did something, I just explore and find it. BUT --

My way of adding new shortcuts seems to be GONE.

There is seriously something wrong with the way Firefox operates. There is nothing wrong with the following site so why am I seeing this message?

Be careful. Something doesn’t look right.

Firefox spotted a potentially serious security issue with news.sky.com. Someone pretending to be the site could try to steal things like credit card info, passwords, or emails.

news.sky.com has a security policy called HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), which means that Firefox can only connect to it securely. You can’t add an exception to visit this site. Advanced What makes the site look dangerous?

The site is set up to allow only secure connections, but there’s a problem with the site’s certificate. It’s possible that a bad actor is trying to impersonate the site. Sites use certificates issued by a certificate authority to prove they’re really who they say they are. Firefox doesn’t trust this site because its certificate isn’t valid for news.sky.com. The certificate is only valid for: . What can you do about it?

For the past few weeks, I have been having problems playing certain Facebook videos. It seems to only happen when I try to play a video that was recorded live. I have tried clearing the cache, I've tried a private window, and I've tried safe mode. I still can't get the video to play. However, when I copy and paste the url to Safari, it works fine. I have been able to play "live" videos while they are actually "live"; it's just that they will not load when I try to play them later. I don't have any problems playing videos which have been uploaded to Facebook; only those which were recorded live. The videos just show a circle in the middle as if they are trying to load but nothing else happens. The length of the video does not matter; it happens with short videos as well as long ones. The screenshot image (of a random "live" video I found) I am uploading shows a partial black circle in the center, which is a spinning circle in realtime. I have circled it in red.

The last response was 14 August for numerous queries. All still outstanding in my support log. Am I looking at yet another failing brand that didn't adapt and whose market share crashed ? Just looking to get out now and find another browser. Astonishing. The bad moves and mismanagement... All there to read about from business analyses sites. Unbelievable.

Hey! Hope you're all doing well. This is a request more than a question. Is it possible to include a short notes field in the stored passwords area? Often, the login address for a service/website/account is completely different than the name the the business service/website/account name. And if a user can't remember what the sign-up login link is called, it can be an enormous pain in the memory banks to try to remember what it is or think of a way to find the info.

Is it possible to add a field for notes where users can note details like that? Or does that introduce safety risks?

I just thought I'd put that out there, cause there's nothing more frustrating (maybe) than having to stop when you're on a roll to reconstruct how you access an account. On top of having to send out 2nd verifications to all our devices, set up special all access pins, etc.

Honestly, its getting crazy out here with all the steps it takes into to log into our digital worlds. That one little step, would make accessing our digital lives a sliver more simple. At least for me. I have no idea if anyone else feels this way.

That's my 22-cents (inflation). Hopefully this will make its way into your suggestion box. Thanks!
