Hello, I'm a blind, screen reader user. I've used FireFox and Thunderbird for years. In the last month-ish something has changed in the Update Dialog for both apps, that asks if you want to allow the app to make changes to your hard drive. With Jaws and NVDA screen readers, this dialog has normally spoken, so I can Tab to the Yes button, press Enter, the update happens and all is well. Suddenly, this dialog doesn't speak... not a word. Don't know where I am at all. I've tried pressing Alt-Y, which is a Windows accessibility standard for pressing a Yes button, but that hasn't worked in the past, and doesn't work now. I am blessed with a sighted husband. When this dialog has come up in FireFox and Thunderbird the last month, he has kindly bailed me out and clicked Yes. But this is a nightmare accessibility problem. Using only a screen reader there is no way out of this. Escape doesn't get rid of the dialog and just not update. The dialog sits on the screen, not speaking until you take some action. In fact, the first time this happened I couldn't figure out what was going on, but tried to handle it myself. Nothing talked, so in the middle of things, I used the power button to shut down. Well... we think I shut down in the middle of the app attempting to update. So my laptop came up with an error on the screen, and we actually had to use my husband's computer to get into my Microsoft account and dig up a huge numeric code that would allow my laptop to boot. It was bad and took a long time, and my husband is a saint. So... something changed about a month ago in the Update Dialogs for both FireFox and Thunderbird, that causes them to no longer be readable by screen readers. There is not a keyboard way to just press Yes. There's not actually a way to know for sure that the reason the computer won't talk is because this Update Dialog is sitting on the screen. The developers need to know this has happened and fix it. I don't know any other way to reach them. Thanks!

I use several browsers and when it comes to functionality I consider FFox to be the best however with 1 major drawback - it's speed / lag issues which is why I stopped using it as my primary browser and only as secondary one

I can have 2 different Chromium based browsers open simultaneously and while this impacts the performance somewhat if I open Firefox and another browser responsiveness grinds to a halt (sometimes even crashes)

Even just starting Firefox by itself takes 5x as long as other browsers

So I'm wondering is Firefox just more resource intensive or is there something wrong with my setup?


The main difference between my Firefox install and my other browsers is the number of Bookmarks (10000s) due to me having it installed for much longer so is it possible for a large number of Bookmarks to slow the browser down even when not open ?

Other possible causes I read elsewhere are 'Cookies and site data' (currently around 50mb)

I clear the 'Temporary cached files' & 'Browsing history' on regular basis so they shouldn't be an issue


The add-ons I have installed are NoScript , Ublock Origin & Firefox Color


In regards to troubleshooting is it possible to install a 2nd install on the same system simultaneously without overwriting the current one ?


Thanks

Previously I could change the color of ONLY visited links. 138 broke that ability and replaced it with a contrast setting that changes every kind of link color and the page background color/design too. This totally stinks and makes the visited web pages look terrible and hard to read too.

Is there a way to set FF so that ONLY visited link colors can be changed to the preferred one?

Hello everyone. Google keeps telling me there is unusual traffic coming from my computer and requires captcha all the time. It only happens with Firefox and only when I launch a search from a blank tab, not from bookmarks. Environment : Firefox (last version) Windows 11 Family (updated), antivirus Bitdefender (support team does not detect any problem).

Please can anyone help me fix that ?

Thks a lot. Edms

Dear Sir or Madam, we have had a major problem with Firefox since today! Our specially programmed software, which displays HTML 4/5 with onClick and forms and submit, has stopped working since today! We can no longer work properly!

Example: We click on a button with onClick, an input form is created, e.g. for a construction site with Jquery query and submit button (OK up to this point) and then another input field opens, e.g. for entering hours, and we enter a number/value. - From this point onwards, you can no longer press Enter on the keyboard and there is no (Submit) button in the form to click on.

So from the second form controlled via IFrames onwards, clicking is no longer possible!!!

It is affecting more and more users who use Firefox! Please check urgently.
