Hello, this is the basic problem:

The short version is that there is a problem with Firefox not interacting with the scrub bar and volume bar. (all other controls work fine) We know it's a Firefox thing because everything works with Brave. (or an interaction between Firefox and the OS at least, Firefox is heavily involved)

There is more detail and we have done some work on it here: CashyOS forum post

You can use the Firefox manifesto V0.2. video for an example, as it displays all the above problems for me.

I can get you guys whatever other data might be needed, but I kinda need an idea where to look to try and fix this, as all the other posts I have managed to find don't seem to have similar enough issues to work.

I have issues discerning where each of my desktop windows are. To help with this I use gtk.css styling to add a border on all of my desktop windows. For some reason, Firefox does not draw this border.

Is there any way to apply a border around the Firefox window?

I was able to get a border around the navigation area of the browser by adding a userChrome.css file but I don't see any way to do the same thing for the whole window.

Can this be done in userChrome.css? Using gtk.css styling? Any other setting or file?

I am running Firefox 155.0.1 on Ubuntu Linux 26.04.1 LTS using the Gnome 50 desktop.

My laptop seems to be on the correct time zone, but when I access websites through Firefox they seem to see a different time. For example, it's currently around 6 p.m. where I live and that's what my laptop says, but when I open my email in Firefox it thinks it's already after midnight. This discrepancy has shown up with multiple websites, so I'm pretty sure it's something going on with the browser. It only happens on my laptop though, not on the mobile version of Firefox. There is no setting to change time zone in Firefox settings so I can't fix this. Please help!

Firefox under Linux (X11), dead keys don't work any more.

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 ?

auto-fill fields not properly submitting

I've seen this on a few sites and it sounds like this person also experienced this. It happens on Linux and Window. I don't think it's a new bug/behavior.

I'll use vanguard.com as an example.

1. Visit investor.vanguard.com site. Click that you'd like to log on. 2. I'll be placed on a login.vanguard.com page that displays a Username field and a Password field. Because I've logged in before, those fields are yellow and filled in with the proper values. (In the case of the password field, it's all stars, but when I click to reveal the password, it's the correct password.) 3. Click on the "Log In". 4. The browser rerenders the page claiming that the userid or password is wrong.

But if I follow the above steps, but add a step:

2.5. I slightly edit both (one is not sufficient) fields, removing a character and putting it back in so the values are edited but not changed. As I do this the fields become white instead of yellow.

Now when I reach step (4), I'm actually logged in without complaints.

The underlying AJAX request is pretty cryptic, so I can't quickly spot/debug what happens at that level, but I assume the page is not passing the field values visible as yellow. on the page.

Am I misunderstanding how the yellow auto-fill works? (On most sites it works as I expected and no reediting the autofilled fields is necessary.)

Can this be fixed or should I put up with it?

I created a Gmail account so I could use it to sync my mozilla browser but I tried to you it too quickly and it was temporarily blocked by google.

I submitted an appeal and they unblocked it, but since then I have been unable to receive any verification codes that are sent to that email address.

I assume it's on some kind of list that is suppressing being able to send to it.

I've been a user of Firefox for many, many years but I think I'm ready to switch to another browser. Every time Firefox updates, it deposits a shortcut on my desktop that I have to delete. I already have it installed in my start toolbar so I do not need it on my desktop. People will say "no big deal, just delete it" That is my point, I shouldn't have to, give me the option in Settings to install it or not.
