The new Firefox built-in VPN, rolled out to Australia this week, is not redirecting to the chosen country location.

Despite selecting either US or UK in the country list, websites are still identifying me as located in Australia.

For example, despite VPN being on and US selected, cunard.com still redirects me to my home location of Australia (see https://www.cunard.com/en-au in address bar). Screenshot attached. Other websites similar.

Whenever I search for images on Google, it completely breaks Google search completely. For example, if I search for "bananas" then on the main Results page it has some results and then some sections with drop down menus for more specific questions like "What are the benefits of bananas?" etc. But if I click on the "Images" tab, then it only loads around 6-7 rows of images before failing to load any more, clicking on the images that it does load will not open a website or the typical preview panel, and going back to the main results page from that broken images tab results in none of the drop down buttons working any more.

If I sign out of my Google account completely or even sign into a different Google account, then everything works as normal. If I sign into the same Google account and attempt the same process in a different browser (Edge) then everything works as normal. I initially thought this must be an issue with my Google account since signing out/into a different account caused the issue to disappear, but the I only have this problem specifically on the specific combination of this one particular Google account and the Firefox browser.

I have tried clearing site data, disabling/deleting extensions, and even fully uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox so far and nothing has helped.

Recent update from MSFT (?) anyhow, suddently Firefox has crashed and can no longer access - can no longer uninstall and reinstall. Simply does not work & I am hoping to be able to correct this so all my various bookmarks, passwords, etc are not suddenly gone

The summary says it all, I think. My desktop runs Win 11, Firefox as default browser, synced to all my devices. My emergency backup (very old/slow) laptop runs Win 10, Firefox default browser, synced. I can login to my Etsy account on the laptop. Desktop login attempt, I get an "error occurred" failure. Have emptied cookies/history/rebooted and have changed email & password for account (using laptop) to no avail.

Is there a Firefox setting I should look into on my desktop ?

My internet connection is with Comcast, whom has told their customers that they will no longer be allowing email addresses with their company’s name. To this end I have been trying to move my old email accounts over from them, and I'm facing a lot of problems. However, since I was able to change the email in the Mozilla account today, I may be able to do it now. Also, please update my computer info to windows 11. Educated guesses below are correct.

Thank you V

Hello,

At the last FF update, I discovered that I had VPN on my top status bar but what does it do?

I have v. 150.0.1 (64 bit). Also Windows 11. I live in France and the only reason to use a VPN is to watch a UK soap which I cannot watch by any other means unless it's live on the TV. I know how to turn it on (obvious), so when I use the BBC website, this is what I do. But it makes not the slightest bit of difference as I am still recognised as being outside the UK.

Am I not doing something please?

Recently, I've noticed that, when I Google something, and it shows those AI-created drop-down options (highlit on the screenshot), clicking on the drop down arrow does nothing; no error, no "dropping down", nothing.

I have installed Firefox's free VPN. It shows in the toolbar, as a grey X and a grey "VPN". When I click that, I receive a series of promising, colorful dialog boxes that ultimately change nothing. I can only click the grey VPN and run through the same cycle again with the same results (opening yet a new tab). I have looked in Extensions and Themes > Manage Your Extensions, and can't find the VPN. How do I turn it on?

Estoy observando un comportamiento específico en Firefox que no logro reproducir en otros navegadores basados en Chromium.

Escenario de prueba:

Sitio web con un visor panorámico personalizado. Imágenes panorámicas de aproximadamente 4.500 px de ancho. Movimiento horizontal continuo y lento. Sin reproducción de video ni elementos pesados adicionales.

Resultados observados:

En Chrome, Edge, Brave y Opera el desplazamiento es fluido desde el primer instante. En Firefox el desplazamiento comienza con pequeños tirones o saltos visibles. Los tirones disminuyen progresivamente y desaparecen después de aproximadamente 4 a 12 segundos, dependiendo de la cantidad de panorámicas activas. Una vez estabilizado, el movimiento es completamente fluido. El comportamiento se reproduce incluso utilizando una sola imagen panorámica. Si existen varias panorámicas, el síntoma vuelve a aparecer cada vez que una nueva imagen entra en pantalla.

Pruebas realizadas:

Se descartó que el problema estuviera relacionado con transiciones entre imágenes. Se descartó que estuviera relacionado con programación o temporizadores. Se probó con una sola imagen activa. Se probó utilizando distintos métodos de desplazamiento. El comportamiento sigue siendo exclusivo de Firefox.

La impresión es que Firefox requiere algunos segundos para estabilizar el renderizado o la decodificación de imágenes panorámicas anchas antes de alcanzar una animación completamente fluida.

¿Existe alguna recomendación específica para animaciones panorámicas continuas de gran ancho en Firefox?

Every time I open up my computer something has changed. My favorites in the little boxes are a nightmare. one day they make a new box for everything I have been on that day. well this morning they were all gone except for 1. very disappointed with u

Hello. I added some controls like zoom control to firefox toolbar and it's work while firefox is opened. after closing and re-opening the firefox, those controls will disappear. what's the problem?

Hello, I recently used Firefox to either open, save, or both screenshots (using windows key) that changed the files to png. Png will not print on the printer I used so I've tried searches online, Mozilla, pc settings, but can't seem to undo, that is restore the screenshot to its original setting*. I have used an app to convert some png back to jpg but that's just one more computer hassle I don't need. *I've thought about restoring all settings to default but I couldn't begin to say what other acceptable changes I might have made.

The PC used to save as jpg or pdf but either one would work.

Yes, I have carefully followed whatever directions were given, pretty sure, anyway. This note is two hours after my first question. And, yes, I am a simple person.

Thank you.
