If the browser privacy is supposed to block cross-site cookies, EVEN WITH enhanced tracking prevention and permanent browsing mode enabled, why doesn't it do its job? I still have to go in and revoke the cookie and place that address in the "exceptions - cookies & site data" to block and the same address STILL comes right back. If that feature isn't going to work, there's no point in offering it.

I love Firefox (use it on all devices), but unless an option will actually do what it's supposed to do, don't offer it.

Video playback stutters in Firefox and Firefox Nightly but not in an external player (mpv) or Edge. Hardware acceleration on/off makes no difference. Using the latest Radeon driver 22.11.2. Most noticeable during slow pan like this https://youtube.com/clip/Ugkx7jP_XuVB7i-O6ljGHQ_NjPmEakzvD7yM

The video playback stuttering isn't new but I only stated looking into it now. No idea how long it's been like this. At first I thought it might be caused by running my monitors at true 120Hz and 60Hz instead of a fractional framerate but then the stuttering should be visible on other apps too. Switching to a fractional 60 didn't change anything in Firefox.

I am a WordPress website developer and I am trying out the Elementor page builder. When I edit a page in Firefox the Elementor app hangs on loading. Wheb I try to edit the same page in Chrome or Edge Elementor loads as expected. I confirmed this with a different website on a different theme. I performed all optimizations on https://happyaddons.com/fix-elementor-editor-not-loading-issue/and checked all system requirements on https://elementor.com/help/requirements/, but no avail. I cleared the Firefox cache, turned off protection for the site. But with the same settings and environment the pages do load Elementor in Edge and Chrome. Any ideas what else I can try to make this work in Firefox? I use all the newest versions of WordPress, themes, plugins, and the browsers Firefox, Edge and Chrome. Running Windows 11 on a brand new laptop.

How can I STOP MS from updating software when I am NOT FINISHED with my work, but I have to get some sleep?

Hi Knowledgeable People! I hope someone can help me out here. I'm gonna explain this as best I can and I hope someone can suggest a way to get thru this issue. I am so tired of MS coming in & telling me that they are going to update my system that night when no one will be using it (assuming that I sleep at night). There is only an OK button or the "X" out of the notification (which is what I usually do). There is NO button that says "NO You CAN'T DO it until I say it's OK". I usually then put my POWER option into SLEEP mode. Sometimes I use Task Manager to "crash FF" so I don't lose any tabs from any windows that are open. I've had it work before, but last night I forgot to shut off the WiFi in Windows (not the hotspot)—I'm not even sure that that's the reason it worked the last time.

Here's the usual scenario: I spend 2 days or more on taking a bunch of screenshots from a webinar so I can understand the process that I'm trying to learn. Those screenshots are cropped & put in the application folder (an older version of PaintShop Pro). I use the older version, b/c I can do it much faster than I can in the newer version. They send me this pop-up that they're going to install the updates "when no one's using it after hours."

So surprise, I come out here this morning and I've lost all my work (just under 100 shots) that was located in PSP's temp folder. ALL MY WORK is gone!

What can I do to STOP M.S. from installing updates when I'm not finished with the work I'm doing and I need to go to sleep? Thanks for your help!

I lost my logins out of nowhere, good thing is that autofill keeps working so I can still log in. I don't really get why it happened, but I would like to recover them. I still have all of my bookmarks and history, etc. When I looked out in the profile folder, I found out that the logins.json file actually has all of my logins (halg of them doesn't have the password, but I guess it's because it's encrypted or something), so I don't really get why they aren't displayed when I open view passwords and logins.

OK, I am very angry ....

FF asks me to update, when i launch the browser, and it continues doing so when browsing. I HATE THIS BEHAVIOUR and I know how to use a computer.

     I do not need to be mollycoddled by some 2bit computer company that has no idea what Professional computer users need. 
         Bare in mind I am in the mood to migrate away from FF completely without a tick button answer. 
         I am also in the mood to take drastic action if this is not resolved. IT SHOULD BE IN THE SOFTWARE IF I SELECT IT.

I want to use FF without an automatic update, which the software DOES NOT ALLOW (removed threat as per [rules and guidelines here).

I am running FF 107.01 (i don't care if its out of date).

Previous .json answer did not work. neither did going into settings.

only a complete ban on updates will suffice. (i will update myself as i feel like it.) I will not tolerate another answer.

FIX IT NOW!!!!

Is there a way for the new window animation in Firefox for Mac to be disabled?

Safari does not do this, but firefox has a... ~100ms animation for new windows that's extremely frustrating for those of us who do not use tabs (Apple's Exposé/Mission Control obsoletes them).

I haven't found a configuration in about:config, although I've been able to disable a few others.

I am, for the last two to three weeks sufferering limited access to my Barclays online banking if I use Firefox. My bank eventually told me to use an alternate, more popular browser to access it, which I was loathe to do but it worked first time! This is not the first time Firefox has had these issues either. What are you doing about it?

Dropbox has a feature for creating and saving GoogleDocs within Dropbox folders. This feature can be accessed via the Dropbox website interface (e.g. "Create->Document->Google Docs". This works well when using Chrome and Safari browsers, but I cannot get it to work with Firefox. When I create or try to edit an existing GoogleDoc via the Dropbox website, I am prompted to sign into my Google account, however clicking "Sign in" only refreshes the page, so the Google Doc cannot be loaded.

I have tried the following fixes: - Turned off "Enhanced tracking protection" for dropbox.com (via the shield icon to the left of the address bar). - Allow all cookies and trackers (Firefox preferences -> Enhanced tracking protection -> unchecked cookies and tracking). - Allowed cookies and site data from dropbox.com and google.com (Firefox preferences -> Cookies and Site Data -> Manage Exceptions).

Advice would be welcome, thank you!

Just the last month or so, when I preview an attachment then download it, I find that my Yahoo email session has been closed.

A recent Firefox update made it easy for me to re-open the mail session but it never returns to the email I had open at the time.

Is this a Yahoo issue or a Firefox issue? And more importantly, how do I stop it happening?

I notice similar questions last year had no response
