There are certain websites that, on firefox only, display apostrophes and quotations as Russian letters. For example, on google docs, if I type "He's such a great friend" it will display уHeТs such a great friendФ. When I open the document on the app, it is normal, but I haven't been able to figure out why it does this on my computer. I use Mozilla Firefox for Fedora 149.0.2 for reference.

There have been a reoccurring problem with Firefox that seems to show up in Linux, Windows, and MacOS. When I log into icloud, I get an error message that the icloud username and password is incorrect, even though the same password has been enter in Safari and other non-firefox browser without issue.

I have tried

• Run Firefox in safe mode.
• Clear icloud site data.
• Clear all Firefox browser data.

The only fix seems to be to create a new profile, which seems to point to a profile corruption issue. The problem is that the problem return after a while.

I was getting popping in audio both in Smplayer & videos on other sites. I discovered the problem went away completely when I closed the X tab. When it was open, I noticed another glitch. I keep a small video windows to keep track of my sleep time. The elapsed time is displayed on them. Only when X was open it was throwing it off by about 3 seconds a minute. I closed it in Firefox & signed onto X on Chrome & all these problems went away. This is the only web site that has ever done anything like this. What is Firefox's problem with X?

Description of the issue: I am experiencing an issue where I cannot paste images from my system clipboard into the chat box of Doubao (a web-based AI chatbot: doubao.com).

Steps to reproduce:

   Copy an image to the clipboard.
   Open doubao.com in Firefox.
   Click on the chat input box and press Ctrl + V (or right-click and Paste).

Expected result: The image should be pasted into the chat box and ready to be sent.

Actual result: Nothing happens. The image is not pasted.

I'm stuck in an endless loop in Firefox for Linux (MX Linux) whenever Cloudflare is used as security.

"Performing security verification

This website uses a security service to protect against malicious bots. This page is displayed while the website verifies you are not a bot."

I click "verify you are human" and it just loops back to the very same challenge. It isn't broken in other web browsers like Vivaldi for Linux. Or Firefox in Windows 11. Just Firefox for Linux.

It has been this way for months.

replaced a windows 10 laptop with a Linux Mint 22.3 laptop. Used Sync to transfer profile to the new laptop. Logged into the banking account (BECU.org) successfully. When trying to transfer money from checking to savings, the transaction failed with a statement that the date was invalid. The date was valid. A separate Linux Mint computer that never had a windows profile synced does not show this problem. Disabling all extensions did not fix this problem.

Here are the dpkg/apt logs for update:

The problem is that when I tried opening gmail in my ubuntu, it is stuck at loading page, but other browsers like edge can open it without any problem (on the same system).

I tried every thing I can in the support forum of gmail/mozilla/others, but it's still stuck at loading.

That's all.

Sorry folks, this is really confusing for me and it kind of snuck up on me like fading breaks on a car.

"This" computer is my main one and I use it the most.

I load youtube and get the usual list of suggestions. If I moved my mouse over any, they would start to play and I would "preview" them on that screen. I could select if I wanted the audio and subtitles.

All was good.

Fire fox has updated and the O/S has also over time and "recently" the "preview" stopped. (Oh well. Such is life.) I didn't think much of it.

Then the other day I was on ANOTHER machine (different O/S, similar/same plugins) and loaded youtube just for the sake of it and as I moved the mouse over the clips: I got the "preview".

I've shared the data from this machine. Kind of difficult to do it in/on THIS post from the OTHER machine also.

For clarity: It used to work. I didn't change any settings in any of the plugins/addons or FF settings. They were "working" as I wanted and so there was no reason to change them. I am guessing this is a "easy thing to fix" but the specifics of what I need to do is beyond me at this point.

I'd appreciate some guidance in how t find the difference between the two machine's settings so I can get the preview to work again.

Just to put it out there too: I have a "squillion" tabs open. They all seem to work and unless I really get carried away with things, Firefox 95% of the time behaves itself. Now and then it "locks up" and stops responding. The best solution is a total reboot and restart.

Hi, mi machine runs Ubuntu Mate 24.04, kernel 6.14.0.29 and Firefox 141.0.3 . Starting from the end of last year, 2024, I get a strange situation: in Google Sheets I can invoke certain functions only in the range 5:00 am to midday, actually I never tried earlier. I asked for help to Google and we realized that the malfunction doesn't appear with Google Chrome browser or Brave. So I'm here to ask for support, how can I fix this?

While playing chess at lichess.org, browser power management inhibit messaging to the system gets stuck on its current status. That is, if power management is inhibited by media playing on another tab while I play a game, it will get stuck in the inhibited state. If power management is uninhibited while I play (no media playing), it will get stuck in the uninhibited state. This persists until the browser is restarted even if all tabs are closed.

I don't believe it to be a system issue, as the problem clears as soon as the browser is closed. Chrome based browsers do not exhibit the behavior for me, but I tried a Firefox fork (LibreWolf) and it has the same issue. I don't experience this issue at any other website I visit.

Only certain areas of lichess.org cause this behavior, primarily playing a game against a human opponent. I tried progressively blocking media and script requests to narrow down offenders, but I always break site functionality before I can pinpoint anything.

I'm not so much looking for a solution (although that would be great) as I am troubleshooting advice. Is there any way to narrow down exactly what it is about this specific website that is causing the issue?

Firefox for Linux can never get past Cloudflare's security captcha. Not just the latest version, but several versions in a row. The page reloads over and over again. Eventually, I launch a different Chromium-based browser and open the page there. Firefox for Android usually handles this issue.

Hello, since the latest update (143.01) I cannot play any audio file on the audible player from audible.com.

Before I did the update, (version 142.02 I supposed) meaning until last week, I was able to play without problems with the pop-up window player it produces the browser version of audible. Since the new release I'm forced to use Google Chrome for the player to work without any issues. I have several desktop computers running on various Linux distros & on all of them has been the same issue, as soon as I updated Firefox the audible player reports an 'issue' & doesn't play anymore forcing me to install & run on Chrome to be able to listen to any audio file there (audio-books mostly)

Would you let me know if there is something to do apart of simply continue on Chrome :-/ or trying to revert to a previous version of Mozilla with the problems that will carry?

Anticipated thanks, Cheers

So if you go to My documentation page , go down to point 8 and try and copy the Systemd unit file from the browser to an editor, the line returns are not preserved and instead spaces are substituted. If I copy the text from a chrome browser into an editor, the new lines are preserved. I've copied the HTML source code below.

       [Unit]
       Description=Apache Tomcat 11.0 Web Application Container
       After=network.target
       

       [Service]
       Type=forking
       

       Environment="JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.25.0-openjdk-amd64"
       Environment="CATALINA_PID=/opt/tomcat/Base/temp/tomcat.pid"
       Environment="CATALINA_HOME=/opt/tomcat/tom11/"
       Environment="CATALINA_BASE=/opt/tomcat/Base/"
       Environment="CATALINA_OPTS=-Xms512M -Xmx1024M -server -XX:+UseParallelGC"
       Environment="JAVA_OPTS=-Djava.awt.headless=true -Djava.security.egd=file:/dev/./urandom"
       ExecStart=/opt/tomcat/tom11/bin/startup.sh
       ExecStop=/opt/tomcat/tom11/bin/shutdown.sh
       User=tommy
       Group=tommy
       UMask=0007
       RestartSec=10
       Restart=always
       [Install]
       WantedBy=multi-user.target
     

So the code is rendering correctly in the browser, but is being incorrectly copied by Firefox. Note if you copy the above from this forum across to an editor the new lines are preserved, but if you copy it from the website they are not.

1- I am forced to abandon firefox browser on desktop 2- I wont quit using firefox until mozilla keep fighting against google's discrimination 3- I am forced to see no proper error message 4- No proper reason is told to wait and try later 5- This war wont end

I hate google more than any company in this world.

Now every (not just any random ) video when play for 10 seconds shows me same ugly annoying message

"Something went wrong. Refresh or try again later"

NO refresh works later after one day or even after removing all the history and saved site data. Even re install of latest firefox has no effect on google. Changing user agent is not working either. Tor browser is the only way to watch any youtube video. BIG, GREAT AND MANY THANKS TO TOR NETWORK.

Tor is left for the only way i can have a little freedom to watch youtube videos.

My pain point is that why i am forced to abandon firefox. I have been using it for decades. I love it. Its my best browser ever.,

Why chrome is the only browser to be allowed to watch videos on you tube.

Even safari when used there is always warning saying your browser will not be supported in future.

Google is creating same kind of problems in Android OS too.

My friends, Let me ask, what our future under google umbrella?

I strongly encourage you to raise voice for browsers other than chrome especially for firefox.

I use updates on linux and my firefox is always latest. There is no chance of any corruption or security risk with firefox on linux. Google intentionally forcing me to use chrome.

I want you to help me if have any clue what is going on.
