Same issue as reported in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1389882 However, since that has been archived with no solution, starting a new post.

Any fix or workaround? Went back to using other browsers for a while, came back and can see it is still an issue where you can't view any password protected PDFs over on https://outlook.office.com/mail/

When I enter a text in the address bar and press the 'return' key nothing happens given that all of these are true:

1. I'm connected to Mullvad VPN
2. I'm using Firefox
3. Address bar default search engine is set to 'Google'.

So to give some examples: 1. If I'm on chrome and everything else is the same as above, it works. 2. If I'm disconnected from the VPN, and on firefox, it works. 3. If I'm on VPN, and using firefox, but I set the default search engine to 'duck duck go' it works.

I tried all the steps in the troubleshooting guide here - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-and-diagnose-firefox-problems and none of them worked for me. I'm quite confused about the issue here.

What could be wrong here?

I'm attaching a screenshot of what happens when I type text and press 'return'. Literally nothing happens, not even a 'webpage loading spinner'. Also attaching screenshots of network settings.

If you need any other information that can help with the troubleshooting please let me know. Thank you for taking the time to help me!

When posting on vBulletin forums, Firefox (116.0.2 on Windows 10) inserts and extra line upon pressing the Enter key. The fix for this is reported on the 'Net to be to alter variables in about:config.

I've attached a screenshot of settings on my system as reported by about:config. My questions are . . . 1) What, exactly, does the bottom line in screenshot mean? If I display All in about:config I find no Newline entry? What effect, if any, does changing values among the choices do? Do they affect the other settings? How? 2) What effect do the other 2 settings as shown have on entries typed in Firefox? 3) Are there changes that I should make in the top 2 variables that will stop the extra line insertion?

TIA

Hi all, Since I've started using Firefox, at the few forums I visit (phpBB) the direct links to 'last post' don't work. In any other browser (mobile, laptop, computer) if I click the button to go to the first unread message, I go to the first unread message. In Firefox, it depends.

- Most of the times it will just go to the top of the last page of the thread, even if there are 2, 5 or 25 messages that I've read earlier. It will not go to the actual first new post. - If there's a new page of the thread (let's say page 4/4) with posts, but there are unread posts at page 3/4, Firefox will go to the top of page 4/4 anyway. And I'll have to manually find out if I missed new messages at page 3/4.

This week I bought a new laptop (Windows 11) and I logged in at Firefox with the same profile, hoping that the new device would erase this 'unconvenience'. However, it didn't. This makes me believe that there's an option I clicked once on my older device (Windows 10), but can't find back. Can you wizards maybe tell me where to find this box I need to (un)tick to stop Firefox from doing this? I tried using Firefox on my Android mobile once, but it had exactly the same thing, so I stopped using that and swtiched to another browser.

Something strange at these same forums is that if I click "Show threads with new posts", it will give me a list. If I visit one of the threads, go back to the list and hit refresh, sometimes not only the thread I just read will go to 'read', but randomly one or more other threads will also show up as 'read', while I never touched it. Bug?

Thanks in advance!

I downloaded a app on my Macos Big Sur workstation (https://kevin-de-koninck.github.io/Clean-Me/) and I ran it (I did not have the option "User Preferences" Selected) Somehow, after rebooting my computer shortly after, it had logged me out of my Firefox account. That shouldn't be a big deal right? Somehow at the same time my Lastpass password program does not have that account saved in it. It has a secondary account ( that used to be the primary, but I guess I switched it at some point) that I can login to, however whenever I login to it, it says

Hi everyone,

[when using CTAPHID] newer versions of Firefox seem to issue a u2f version request after INIT if you choose the non-passkey login method (e.g. on Github). I wanted to ask what Firefox expects as response if I want to tell it that I don't support u2f.

The CTAP2 spec states that "The U2F_REGISTER and U2F_AUTHENTICATE commands MUST immediately fail and return SW_COMMAND_NOT_ALLOWED" if I've disabled u2f but I can't find anything about the VERSION command.

If I return "U2F_V2\x90\x00" (without quotation marks) atleast I get a response. Just returning SW_COMMAND_NOT_ALLOWED (which should be "\x69\x86") doesn't seem to work (Firefox doesn't issue any further requests). I've also tried something like "FIDO_2_0\x90\x00" without success.

Can somebody tell me what Firefox expects in that case or can give me link to the related source code?

Best regards david

I'm developing a PWA website that relies heavily on the sqlite.org wasm libraries and origin private file system (OPFS). On firefox-dev 116.0b8 my website at app.kumaflash.com stopped being able to read the database it had been successfully using for months prior to that. I've also asked on the sqlite.org forum here: https://sqlite.org/forum/forumpost/3bb8b83c45 but haven't found any solutions yet.

You can see a thrown together video of the app working normally here: youtube.com/@kumaflash

and the error I receive is: OPFS syncer: xRead() async error: GetSyncHandleError: Error getting sync handle for xRead(). 6 attempts failed. kumaflash.db : NotFoundError: Entry not found

If I manually open the OPFS in the console I can see that the file is there with this helper function in my app: var p = await _app.xdcards._lsOriginPrivateFSDir("/"); //that's an L for list ListOriginPri...

Additionally I can't debug because the firefox debugger crashes whenever I try to inspect my app. The debugger crashes on firefox-dev and release versions on every computer I've tried (with this app only). The chromium debugger works but the error doesn't happen there.

Any ideas on what I should try?

I found a solution for that issue under Firefox flickering issue with NVIDIA graphics card under Wayland .

This has been the only working solution I found after long research. Could You please integrate that information somewhere.

Firefox recently updated to version 116.0 (64 bit) on my Win 10 PC desktop. Now all typing into Firefox is garbled and the letters I hit on my keyboard result in different letters in Firefox. Typing works properly in all other applications such as WORD and Microsoft Edge.

I saw that this is a known problem on one of the forum pages and that it is related to zone alarm's anti-keylogger, which I have installed. The posted solution was to disable the anti-keylogger which is not an acceptable solution since it undermines security. Disabling a security feature because of a bug that appeared in a recently updated Firefox should not even be suggested as an acceptable solution- fix the BUG!

I have used Firefox for years and want to keep using it but until this is fixed I have to use Microsoft Edge. This appears to be related to the recent update to version 116. How can I return to a prior version which I know worked? Also, when will this bug be fixed so I can return to using Firefox?

Thank you

I want the version (which i assume is the ESR one) OFF my computer. I have downloaded a "regular version" (116.0.3) and have followed all instructions I have found on this site. It gets to a point and says it can't find the file. There is no README or Install file in the download so I am stuck. Please help me because I want the ESR version GONE!!! Thanks for any help! R

I am trying to log on to Walmart.com and Firefox requires me to sign into my Walmart account in order to access their web page. Is there a setting in Firefox that will enable me to go directly to their webpage without having to enter my Walmart account sign in/logon information each time I want to search for a product on their webpage? In the past, I was always able in the past to access walmart.com without a sign in but I suspect that a recent update to Firefox on my computer now makes me log on to my Walmart account rather than going directly to their webpage. A Tech Support person said that I will have to use Google Chrome rather than Firefox. Is there a way I can access walmart.com directly through Firefox? I really don't want to use Chrome or Microsoft Edge.

Thank you,

Hello,

I have an active Pocket subscription for more than 8 years now. I wanted to migrate it to use Firefox accounts. However, by mistake I created a new firefox account using the signup journey - and I used a different email for this. When I logged into my Pocket account, it asked me to update and I did. I said I'd want to login to my Firefox account using my new account - so typed in my new email address and signin. It was actually prompting me to just enter password and continue using my old account - but I declined and changed the email to login to my new account. I was hoping both these would be merged. But they didnt' and after a bit of to and fro, I changed my new Firefox accounts email to the one that I'm already using for my Pocket account and did the same signup journey. They are merged now but I've got no data in my pocket - it's like a new account.

Please can someone help?

Thanks.

Khmer language text words that overflow do not wrap/break properly. I have attached screenshots of 1. Firefox and 2. Chromium browser to see how the word wrap is done properly. Apologies if I'm not using the correct technical terms to describe word wrap or break. Thanks!

When pressing enter after typing in the search bar, nothing loads, the screen stays blank as it doesn't start searching. I have to click enter on it again for it to load immediately. This just started happening out of no where and happens every so often.

I have tried to make sure cookies are enabled at BigFish.com website but I have probably made things worse or did it wrong. Both problems follow me around and please understand I have also been in contact with BigFish techs but I am not getting far in any solution.

I was told to clear the browser cache which I have done both for Firefox and BigFish but I can detect no difference at all. I am still told at the BF website that cookies are needed in order for me to enter.

I am at my wits' end with this and at my age of 83 I feel like I am rushing on that downhill slide much more quickly due to this problem. I feel that I have made some error in my wildly clicking around but I don't always understand the terminology exactly.

If anyone knows how to explain this to me in perhaps easy steps I would be most appreciative.

Thank you,

Gail

I ran a program on my mac (https://kevin-de-koninck.github.io/Clean-Me/) without the "User Preferences" option and it still signed me out of my Firefox account .Usually shouldn't be a big deal but somehow my Lastpass account doesn't have the password saved (which I use to login to getpocket.com every day, so I literally don't understand what is going on with it not being in there) so I can't login to it. It's the main account, and I can login to my other accounts attached to it, but I get the error "login with main account" after I sign in successfully.

So, I can't login to my main account (main@example.com) but I can login to my attached account (not_main@example.com). Also, on my phone i am logged into main@example.com, but I can't change the password without knowing the password. And if I change the password to main@example.com it will reset my account which I really don't want as I have years and years of bookmarks and history on there.

Can anyone help? Please, and thanks in advance.
