Hello
I am currently using Ubuntu 18.04 and Firefox Quantum 59.0.2 64-bit. On some websites, I am unable to select the password field either using tab or a mouse click to be able to enter a password. This leaves me unable to login. However, this doesnt seem to happen on all password fields.
For example on https://reddit.com I can enter username and password on the field on the right. However, if I click on Login hyperlink on 'Want to join? Log in or sign up in seconds.', I get a popup which I am unable to click the password field on.
I have also seen this problem on https://abnzb.com
I have tried to run in safe-mode but the problem persists.
My addons are Gnome shell integration, Enhanced Steam, HTTPS Everywhere, uBlock origin.
Also, to add to this. When I right click on the password text fields, I do not get a menu popup. I am not sure if this is related or not.

Prior to Quantum there were add-ons such a "Clear Fields" or "Xclear" that provided buttons to click to clear the URL field. I cannot find anything to do that now. Is there something about the new interface that is stopping people from providing this capability? Ideally, I want a button just left of the URL field that can clear the field so that I can paste my clipboard contents into the field. Thanks.

EDIT: I have posed this quest over on Linuxquestions.org's forum for it can be as much a Linux question as it can a Firefox question. Let me add, the command name used is "firefox" in the Terminal. Add also my computer is : IBM System X Server (4362), 64-Bit 2-Core Intel, 4 G memory./EDIT
Launching Firefox from the command line terminal generates various-numbered errors while otherwise successfully launching normally. It's always a pair of lines containing all the same text except for reference in one to "ref" and the other to "unref."
Today I launched Firefox from Terminal twice and saw a different-numbered error, but the same text:
First launch: (firefox:6676): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_ref: assertion 'object->ref_count > 0' failed
(firefox:6676): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion 'object->ref_count > 0' failed
And: (/usr/lib/firefox/firefox:6756): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_ref: assertion 'object->ref_count > 0' failed
(/usr/lib/firefox/firefox:6756): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion 'object->ref_count > 0' failed
Second launch: (firefox:6944): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_ref: assertion 'object->ref_count > 0' failed
(firefox:6944): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion 'object->ref_count > 0' failed
and: (/usr/lib/firefox/firefox:7016): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_ref: assertion 'object->ref_count > 0' failed
(/usr/lib/firefox/firefox:7016): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion 'object->ref_count > 0' failed
Running 64-bit versions of Linux Mint 17.3 and Firefox 59.0.2.
Firefox launches a profile dialogue from which I optionally choose an empty profile or go ahead and start the browser using my usual profile. I could skip the profile manager, but it's there if ever I need it for some reason. And I don't have to remember how to access it if I need it.
Thank you.

hey, I have two questions:- 1. The arlier version of FF(59.0.1) used to report when a website was trying to canvass the browser; that message seems to be missing in FF 59.0.2. The message that used to get displayed was " This website (<website name>) attempted to extract HTML5 canvas data which may be used to uniquely identify your computer. Should Firefox allow this website to extract HTML5 canvas data?" This message/warning isn't showing up on Mozilla Firefox 59.0.2 after I upgraded. Could you elaborate?
2. Bonus question: DailyMotion website/videos don't plan on mozilla firefox; Youtube, Vimeo work just fine. For info, I use HTTPS Everywhere, PrivacyBadger, Ublock origin and No Script add-ons but I adjust them depending on the website. Tried all of it but DM does not work.
Thanks!

In some of the text fields (most of the password, but some other fields too) when I hit the Shift Key, it select all the text. So I cannot use uppercase letter.
Same problem occurs with rigth and left shift key.
I'm using Firefox 59.0.2, qith Ubuntu 16.04.
It's a new computer, so it never worked. I tried to restart in Safe mode, to refresh, to re-install firefox.
Still the same problem.
No problem with Chrome or other applications.
It really look like these problems, but I have no solution: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1194501 https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1175155 https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/7jdmll/firefox_57_issue_shift_key_deleting_text/

when media starts playing on my computer without my consent, this should be considered a cybercime.
The only way for a video to start playing should be `right click -> play`
cut the nonsense with the *media.autoplay.enabled* switch. it doesnt work and it never will. as soon as the website uses any kind of scripting, this switch is ineffective.
which extension do i need to install to stop this autoplay nightmare forever?

Hi,
Summary :
Firefox doesn't save password. On form login webpage, the dialogbox asking if I want to save my login/password appears, but it is not saved (when I logout, no remember data is displayed on loggin form as usually. Nothing appears in Preference/Privacy & Security list of saved login/password : empty).
Environnement :
Mozilla Firefox 59.0.2 Ubuntu 17.10 64 bits
What I do to try to solve this problem:
1. I read the mozilla knowledge database https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/usernames-and-passwords-are-not-saved
All is ok ( "Remember logins and passwords for websites." checked, always remember history... )
2. I check file permissions (chmod, chown) of .mozilla folder, read & write privileges for user (the profile folder cames from a windows installation : user switching to linux... )
3. A message error on console log
(/usr/lib/firefox/firefox:2827): dconf-WARNING **: Unable to open /var/lib/snapd/desktop/dconf/profile/user: Permission non accordée
This message appears when I load a webpage with the empty form loggin, (not when the dialog box asking to save appears...) . Pearhaps, do not relate this problem.
But this bring me to a similar support for firefox with this error https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=156416
So, I disable extension : same probleme. I empty extension folder : same problem
4. Rename file in profile folder : A solution suggested to solve no registering password I can read is to rename key3.db key4.db and login.json. Same problem.
When I ask to register login/password when the dialogbox appears, only login.json seams written.
List of profile folder modified file during theses tests : saved-telemetry-pings crashes prefs.js sessionCheckpoints.json webappsstore.sqlite favicons.sqlite SecurityPreloadState.txt AlternateServices.txt xulstore.json addons.json addonStartup.json.lz4 extensions.json extensions search.json.mozlz4 compatibility.ini permissions.sqlite logins.json
A solution finded
I run firefox --safe-mode option : all works fine : can register new passwords, and old user password (from his windows firefox installation) appears in preference/privacy dialog.
Can you help me ?
Thanks !

When I go into Firefox settings and click on Saved Logins, it takes several minutes for the window to open up. Afterwards, the searches are relatively fast. Deleting an item likewise takes minutes. I believe this also affects the auto-fill of passwords when Firefox first starts up.. It does not auto-fill at first.
Is there any way to optimize the saved logins database? PS: This is under Fedora Linux. Firefox 59.0.2 (64-bit)
