I am trying to disable the text segmentation behavior in latest Firefox(v151), but I have encountered an issue where changing the preference in [about:config] does not seem to have any effect.

Details:

   Target Preference:  intl.icu4x.segmenter.enabled
   Current Setting:       false

   Problem: 
   Even after setting this to false (and restarting the browser), the text segmentation behavior (such as word selection logic) remains unchanged and appears to still be using the ICU4X engine.

   Reference:
   https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1440483#answer-1638092

I would like to know:

  1.  Has this preference been deprecated or hardcoded to true in recent versions of Firefox?

   2. Is there any other way to disable the ICU4X-based segmenter or revert to the previous segmentation logic?

   3. If this is a known change, is there an alternative preference to adjust how word selection handles specific languages (e.g., Japanese)?

I am using the latest version of Firefox. Any insights or workarounds would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi!

I’m feeling very … filtered by google or safari search engines and haven’t done any research into other search engine options, though I’ve heard other people mention other search engines that are less filtered that I didn’t remember the name of. I hadn’t even really thought of this before but someone recently talked about how all the information is out there on the Internet (which I knew, Duhr 😂) but like a pair of craftily sculpted goggles, each device, OS, search engine simply filters the results I have access to and yet, I still search using Chrome. Wtf? Can you help me? Help me snap out of my bubble?! 😂 I keep falling asleep and forgetting to find a way to be more safe (as I know I’ve been with you on my laptop for yeeears) and also be “allowed” to have access to more info in the big wide world on the Internets? 😜 Do you guys have a search engine? And/or do you guys know the direction to point me in to become a more aware and present human being on the internet who remains safe from all the bs and is also not filtered down into a granule of human pellet feed that they can dissolve into lusch and control, limit, feed off of for profit, leaving me in a vulnerable position to blackmail or destroy? LMAO! 🤣 🥹😳 Really though… I trust Firefox and have used this browser for years. For years now though, I’ve been only on my iPhone and forgot about Firefox until just now because I just “went with this”, brainlessly, on my iPhone and there are certain options one is fed when adopting the iPhone (and Firefox is definitely _not_ one of them!). Would you, could you please expand my horizons, safely with you guys? Or whatever you recommend, please? I’d be so grateful for any pointers, help, info, education that you can offer me! I’m ready to learn and adopt excellent practices and safe apps and systems, if you’re ready to help me! Thank you so much! Sincerely, Annie

Hi everyone,

I'm having trouble accessing my local network devices (a 3D printer and Raspberry Pi) using short hostnames like "http://impressora3d" or "http://impressora3d/". Firefox keeps blocking the connection with the "Looks like there’s a problem with this site" error page.

I've captured a network log using 'about:networking' and I can see that: 1. DNS resolution works perfectly and points to my local IP:

  "CompleteLookup: impressora3d has 192.168.1.10"

2. Firefox is upgrading the request to HTTPS (port 443) automatically:

  "nsSocketTransport::ResolveHost [...] impressora3d:443" -> "pushing io layer [0:ssl]"

3. The device rejects it because it only listens on HTTP (port 80):

  "Bad Socket 804b000d" (NS_ERROR_CONNECTION_REFUSED)

What I have already tried: - Disabled "HTTPS-Only Mode" entirely in settings. - Checked "Secure DNS" (DoH) settings (set to Increased Protection and added exceptions). - Cleared history and used "Forget about this site" on the hostname. - Typed "http://" explicitly.

Firefox still refuses to connect via plain HTTP (port 80). Is there any hidden 'about:config' preference or HSTS cache forcing this behavior for local unformatted domains?

Thank you!

I'm trying to import my bookmarks from an HTML file. They say to click the menu button but there is NO menu button with 3 horizontal stripes. I'm using a Chromebook laptop.

Hi everytime I use the translate option it seems to flip my previous choice and selection...I live in Austria but speak only english...but i even get russian options and sometimes im on a german site and it asks to translate english to german....it makes no sense

Eliminating 40% from the zoom options was a change that seems quite unnecessary and is, moreover, extremely inconvenient! The previous zoom percentage options of ...80-70-60-50-40-30 were (more logical and) *far* more useful than the current options of 80-67-50-30. If for some reason you are limited to four values in this range, then I'd much prefer choices of 75-55-45-30 percent. The two images attached are saved at (resp.) 50%, which is too large for my purposes -- namely, inclusion as in-line e-mail images -- and 30%, which is too small.

am facing an issue with Firefox where every time the browser updates, all of my accounts get logged out, including YouTube, ChatGPT, and other websites. I have already tried repairing, uninstalling, and reinstalling Firefox, but the problem still persists.

Can't "Save as PDF" on Mac with Firefox Developer since upgrading to OS 26.5 on 5/22/26. It has worked perfectly until yesterday. Previously, just saving to pdf didn't download backgrounds. But clicking on "Print using the system dialog" and then "Save as PDF" would download backgrounds. I have restarted my computer, removed and reinstalled my printer, but "Save as PDF" still isn't saving, only sending to printer. I was just able to "Save as PDF" on another browser. I am hoping I don't have to switch default browsers from Firefox Developer. Others I know are having the same issue using Nightly, but I was not able to find anyone having this issue on the internet.

Hello! I really liked the vertical tab panel management before, if I wanted it to disappear I've pressed ctrl + alt + z and if I wanted it to show only icons of the websites - I could press ctrl + alt + x twice and had the mini version of it. For some reason, now it's gone, when I press ctrl + alt + x twice the panel is gone completely. Could you help out here? Essentially, I want to be able to make it look like that (screenshot attached), only without the AI Assistant.
