You haven't provided an off switch for this "thumbnail preview image of the webpage" on my taskbar? I don't want anything dropping down from my task bar on hovering over it.

This is a new thing, that Firefox for some reason thought was a good idea. Mouse hovering on my taskbar, and have a drop down thumbnail preview image of the webpage?

Thank you all in advance...  :)

The bank for our online HOA accounts wants me to allow "third party cookies". How do I allow that on my MacBook Pro?

Also, the videos that are implanted in news articles on msn.com won't load and play. How do I allow them to load so I can view them?

Thank you.

Recently, as I was writing a comment, spellcheck flagged "sexualized" and "unrelatable" as being spelled incorrectly. And when I looked at the list of words it was suggesting, and didn't see these words, I had to google them just to make sure these were official dictionary words, and not regarded as slang or something (like the word appearify, coined, apparently, by the homestuck creator). These aren't "bad" words either. I mean, I assumed that maybe "sexualized" wasn't included for some sort of censorship reason, but "unrelatable" ? How old is the dictionary Firefox is running its spellcheck through?

Whenever I start a Youtube video ever since turning on Dolby Atmos, there is a good 2-3 seconds of audio cut out of the beginning of every Youtube video launched. This doesn't happen on Edge or Chrome. I have tried turning off hardware acceleration in Firefox and restarting Firefox but this does nothing. Even when I rewind the video, the audio is not there even though the video is playing.

Suddenly blocked from Etsy only on Firefox today. Still works fine on all other browsers. I get this error message when trying to sign into Etsy on Firefox.

Why? Something about the behaviour of the browser has caught our attention.

There are various possible explanations for this:

   You are browsing and clicking at a speed much faster than expected of a human being.
   Something is preventing JavaScript from working on your computer.
   There is a robot on the same network (IP 73.43.0.132) as you.

I've been searching for an answer to this for weeks to no avail. It concerns YouTube videos "autoplay"ing on YouTube. Many have asked this question and most responses state to shut off Autoplay. These are two separate issues. AotuPlay means the next video on YouTube will advnace automatically requiring no user input. If Autoplay is off, streaming stops at the end of the video. The issue I am having is when I open a YouTube video to a new tab (but do not switch to that tab), the video WILL start playing as soon as that tab is in focus. This never used to happen and indeed, on two other computers with the settings and extensions all sync'ed, this doesn't happen, except for on this one computer. Today I found someone that posted the exact same problem 5 years ago and didn't get an answer. He seems to describe it well:

1. Okay, so before, when I loaded up 100+ Youtube videos, they stayed when switching tabs - no autoplay. Suddenly they decide to autoplay when switching tabs - note, I've not done anything to my settings or plugins. Fair enough, maybe you changed something (which you often do, without informing). So I check the options. It was on "Block audio", which obviously didn't work, so I tried "Block Audio and Video" - which WORKS, but now both the video is paused (which I want) AND the audio is set to mute (which I DON'T want) - so... what does it take to have Youtube wait for a click to start playing a video loaded in a background tab, but KEEP AUDIO ACTIVE, so I don't also have to unmute the damn video?

One person posted a possible solution: Maybe check this pref on the about:config page.

   media.block-autoplay-until-in-foreground 

This setting describes the issue kind of. If you have this set to false, the moment you send a link to a new tab, YouTube starts playing in the background. Setting it to false keeps the video paused until that tab is in focus. That is how mine has always been set. What I am looking for is a setting that would say something like: "block autoplay until play is pressed"

Thanks in advance and sorry for being so long-winded

I've noticed recently after system reboots that Firefox forgets the "Open previous windows and tabs" setting and restarts with only a blank tab. I've confirmed that this setting is ticked prior to the reboot. I know I can restore the session under History but why isn't Firefox remembering this setting and re-opening the windows & tabs like previously?

Running Firefox 135.0.1 and Mac Sequoia 15.3 (but has been happening in recent previous versions of both).

I have tried to up date the firefox program as requested. When I go hit the "update now" button, I get a screen and when I try to save it says " firefox installer already exists" and it takes me back to the first page with a message in a box at the top of the page that says Your download should begin automatically. Didn’t work? Try downloading again."

I have tried several times but I find that I'm stuck in a stupid loop where nothing gets installed. The message is that I have till March 14, so this needs to be done soon.

I am not particularly computer savvy, so any clarity on this will be helpful.

I used to work and used zoom with my works account. Now that I'm no longer working I'm having trouble logging into Narcotics Anonymous meetings provided around the world. How do I delete my work account and just open a regular zoom account ?

I am recently having problems with Firefox not opening my tabs when I log into my computer. I can get them back by using history but it's fiddly and not all of them appear (and often not the most recent ones.) Can anyone tell me what the problem might be and how to rectify this. I am also having problems with Onedrive which started at the same time. I am not sure if the two things are connected or not.

To Whom it may concern,

I have a few store credit cards all issued through Citibank. The password manager in Firefox only allows the first part of the website address, not allowing the distinction between say a Home Depot account and a Best Buy account for the login. By only allowing the address "citiretailservices.citibankonline.com", it does not auto fill the different passwords for the different sites. Can something be done about that?

Thank you for your time
