Firefox gemenskapsforum

Currently Running Firefox 158.0(64-bit)mint-001 - 1.0 Linux Mint 21.3. This actually started with 157. This peculiar to the System Package version ONLY. The versions on Flatpak Mint, Windoze, iOS or Android have the problem.

In brief, If the text in a Youtube post exceeds approximately 150 characters, excluding the dots(periods), when the preview is clicked on then the post itself only shows that text and the expected "Read more" is missing. What is visible are three dots in what appears to be a far smaller font thus making me believe the link to the script that does the reveal has been suppressed.

Unless there is something hidden in about:config to cure this there doesn't seem to be any way around this.

Ideas would be welcome

Good evening,

I am using Linux Mint (version 22.3 Cinnamon) as my OS and Firefox (version 157.0.1) as my browser—both 64-bit.

For some time now, I haven't been able to use the map on www.naviki.org; when the page loads, the map appears briefly but then immediately becomes invisible.

I suspect this has something to do with my Firefox settings. I’ve tried everything I can think of—enabling third-party cookies (for Google and OpenStreetMap maps), toggling tracking protection on and off, removing all browser extensions and add-ons, and verifying that WebGL and WebGL2 are both set to "true"—but nothing works. The maps remain invisible.

Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this? I'm at a loss...

Thanks in advance for any suggestions, Phil

There's three images on the page, in FF only the top one shows, but if I hit refresh, all three show, but only for half a second, then they wink out. All three show in Chromium just fine.

140.16esr under Debian 12.

When i try to log in on my own website jgtransformer.dk in Linux i got a 455 incident. This happens not on Firefox with my android phone, and also not on other browsers.

I play https://crazyshooters.com/ and https://crazyshooters2.com/ a lot! But the game became laggy since Firefox 148 and my ping spikes up. Other browsers play fine. I am on Linux Mint if that helps. (147 and below run fine)

I'm finding more and more sites no longer work using Firefox. I've confirmed all software is up to date, and tried different settings such as turning off ad , tracker and fingerprinting protections, but nothing works. Even sites at which I have an account have stopped working. Sometimes I can still log in to the account, on others I can't even do that. If I can log in, using the account for what it's intended such as searching for and saving lists of things or following links to saved items doesn't work. I value Firefox for it's security and privacy features, and being able to sync saved information in the account and across devices, but if a site won't all that benefit disappears.

I have reproduced a persistent Firefox/Linux emoji rendering issue in ChatGPT and found a small CSS workaround that fixes it.

Environment

Linux Firefox 155.0.1 The problem also reproduces in a completely fresh Firefox profile Noto Color Emoji is installed

Symptoms

In normal ChatGPT conversation text, some common emoji such as:

😄 😂 😀 😁 🙂 😊 🤣 ✅

render as monochrome or outline glyphs.

Other emoji such as:

🚀 🔥 ❤

may render correctly in the same message.

A particularly useful clue is that the same affected emoji render correctly inside ChatGPT code/copy boxes, while failing in ordinary response body text.

Firefox DevTools Fonts inspection showed ordinary fallback fonts including DejaVu Sans, FreeSans and Nimbus Sans being used alongside Noto Color Emoji.

Updating Firefox from 155.0 to 155.0.1 did not fix it, and neither did creating a completely fresh Firefox profile.

Diagnostic test

Running this in Firefox DevTools Console on chatgpt.com immediately fixes the affected emoji throughout the page:

document.documentElement.style.setProperty(

 "font-variant-emoji",
 "emoji",
 "important"

)

Permanent workaround

Using the Stylus extension, scoped only to chatgpt.com:

html {

   font-variant-emoji: emoji !important;

}

This survives a complete Firefox restart.

This appears to be a font/emoji-presentation interaction where some emoji-capable Unicode characters are being satisfied by ordinary monochrome text fonts before the colour emoji font is selected.

Mozilla Bug 1971053 describes closely related glyph-selection behaviour and mentions font-variant-emoji: emoji as a remedy: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1971053

I am posting this both in case it helps other Linux/Firefox users and to ask whether this remaining behaviour on Firefox 155.0.1 is expected or should be tracked as a current Firefox/web-compatibility issue.

... click on (eg.) 'Interactive Map' and nothing happens, at least not here. Chromium has no problem.

I use Ubuntu Linux on my laptop: this OS was updated two days ago, from 24.04 to 24.04.2. Since then I have been unable to access my daily favourite website. A banner showing ACCESS DENIED is displayed, citing "unusual activity". I have attached a screenshot. I have discovered that I CAN access the website in the Brave browser. But Firefox is my preferred browser. I have tried deleting browsing history, opening a Private Window, rebooting the laptop but nothing has worked. I do have some Firefox folders, on containing stored passwords, another containing a recovery file but I don't know how to safely proceed now. What is the best way forward for me to allow me to access my favourite website? Should I create an entirely new account and if I do would I be able to import all my passwords and add-ons, etc.?

Firefox version 152.0 : Firefox is continuously refreshing the page on a particular Website, in both Windows11 and Linux versions, making the site unusable ( unable to click anything ). The website loaded ok previously using Firefox and still loads ok using Chrome. Disabling extensions doesn't help, neither does deleting the cache and cookies. What changed and why? Is there anything else to try?

Unable to load https://fingtrainer.com as of yesterday. Been downloading the flingtrainer for single player games for a long time now and there is no issue. Try to disable/change enhanced tacking, dns, site were included in exceptions and reinstalling firefox does nothing. While the learn more link provide image solutions, none of them does anything and the disable button for the enhanced tracking is not working. Other browser like opera gx is able to load without any issue. Please assist with a solution or kindly revert the settings.

Server Not Found

Firefox can’t connect to the server at flingtrainer.com. Did you mean to go to www.flingtrainer.com? What can you do about it?

   Check to make sure you’ve typed the website address correctly and try again in a few moments.
   Check your network connection.
   Check that Firefox has permission to access the web (you might be connected but behind a firewall).

I am using Firefox on a LLinux Mint 22.3 - MATE 64-bit operating system.

Recently, I went to www.homedepot.com. The page did not fully load. It just kept trying to load the page. I waited for a few minutes and tried to do a search for an item I wanted. I got a message that indicated: "OOPs! some went wrong. Try refreshing the page."

I tried refreshing the page. I got the same situation. The page would only partially load and each time I did a search, I got the same "Opps!" message.

So, I went into setup and deleted my cache. This did not help. I also uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it. That still did not help.

I started up Google Chrome. I went to the site and it worked just fine. So there is something wrong with Firefox.

Hi. I'm taking an online course for HVAC certification. Some test questions require to arrange the answers in a logic sequence. When I try to move the answers up or down, they 'snap back' into the original (wrong) position. Is there a solution to this issue? I'm using FireFox with Linux Mint Cinnamon.

Greetings, Matt
