When I press a hotkey that involves Ctrl (ie. opening a new Tab via Ctrl+T or closing one via Ctrl+W) Ctrl sometimes remains stuck until I press it again. This will cause issues ie. when I open a new tab and try to type a new address (or search term), and Ctrl causes new hotkeys to be executed.

I've even tried launching firefox with a new profile, and on safe mode (firefox --safe-mode -p <something-else-than-usual>), so no bookmarks, cookies or extensions should be causing this, and it will still happen sometimes. The annoying part is that this seems to be an issue with performance. It happens less-often with the empty profile and safe mode, but it still happens, especially if I had just opened a new page some tab, causing the most minute thing for firefox to process.

The problem is probably not the computer specs either (below my specs). Indeed, from what I can tell, firefox does not even seem to function particularily slow in any case. Just this ctrl being stuck seems to happen.

I have also tried disabling hardware-acceleration (and explicitly enabling it), no effect.

Other interesting facts I've discovered: - This for sure does not happen in other programs and - This does not happen with the Ctrl for all the keybinds within firefox. For example, Ctrl+A (for select all) does not trigger this

From neofetch my setup is OS: Arch Linux x86_64 Host: MS-7C56 1.0 Kernel: 6.12.8-arch1-1 Uptime: 2 hours, 10 mins Packages: 2370 (pacman), 7 (flatpak) Shell: zsh 5.9 Resolution: 3840x2160 DE: labwc:wlroots WM: sway Terminal: alacritty CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5900X (24) @ 4.951GHz GPU: AMD ATI Radeon RX 7900 XT/7900 XTX/7900 GRE/7900M Memory: 5531MiB / 32015MiB

(I have no idea why it's reporting that I'm using Sway, I'm most certainly only using labwc, maybe labwc just reports sway for some programs for compatibility) I've installed firefox from pacman, and my current version is firefox 134.0.1-1

And finally firefox --full-version Mozilla Firefox 134.0.1 20250113214611 20250113214611

I'm not sure what else I could share at this point

Anyone know what's needed to style the text color in *PDFviewer's highlighted "Find" results, AND make it readable?

It's easy changing PDFjs' highlighted background colors of "Find" results (Ctrl + F). Due to "textLayer" use in pdfjs, may not be easy to change text color for the same results (and be readable).

/** userContent.css **/ .pdfViewer .textLayer .highlight { background-color: rgb(239 15 255 / .3) !important; }

.pdfViewer .textLayer .highlight.selected { background-color: rgb(0 255 255 / .3) !important; }

Adding the property, "color: red !important;" to both rules creates a RED text layer in highlighted results (misaligned w/ original text).

Hi,

On my desktop, thunderbird does an awesome job cutting spam. While on the mobile its terrible, not just are most spam mails coming thru but some legit emails are getting flagged. Is there some way to make it mimic the desktop.

Thanks in advance

I just setup this firefox extension to help me manage my 800+ tabs - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/simple-tab-groups/ . This might have even been causing Firefox to crash and my computer to restart, but I'll save that for a separate issue. The extension has some suggested shortcut keys, particularly Ctrl + Backtick and Ctrl + Shift + Backtick to switch between next and previous Tab groups. I tried to go to Manage Extension Shortcuts in settings, and tried to specify the keys Ctr + Backtick, but the input box would not accept the key. In fact it only seems to accept Ctrl + <alpha-numeric> key. or Ctrl + Alt + <alphanum>

Is there anyway to enable this? Most keys like Ctrl + alphabets appears to be already mapped by firefox's default mappings. my Ctrl + numbers are also similarly mapped by another tab extension to switch tabs.

Thanks, arun

Firefox is my default browser and I use Yahoo Mail. In the past, while writing an email, I would copy text from MS Word file (ctrl+C) and paste it (ctrl+V) in Yahoo Mail. These commands do not work anymore. Need a solution.

Hi,

On MacOS, in order to set keyboard shortcut, I need to know the exact name for the feature. But I can't find tab navigations in Firefox's menu.

For example, in Chrome, they have a menu called "Tab" and there is "Select Next Tab" and "Select Previous Tab" in the menu. That are the names I need to set keyboard shortcut. But I can't find the equivalent in Firefox.

From the screenshot, the keyboard shortcut works for Chrome, but not working for Firefox as I don't have the exact name for tab navigation.

Much of Thunderbird is too small, too faint, or in fonts that are too hard for me to read.

I've found some user css that helps with some of that. It helps with the headers and lists. But it doesn't affect message contents, even in plain text mode, or settings.

Okay, so why don't I just use the built-in font settings? Because:

1. There are different settings for different parts of the interface, and it can be hard to predict how they'll interact.

2. I need to increase the size of most text, not all. I don't want or need to increase the sizes of some larger text. I don't have enough screen space for it either.

3. I need to increase the *weight* of most text. There's a fad for thin "elegant" fonts, and I just can't read these. I currently use css to make headers bold, and make unread headers red for contrast.

4. I often need to change the fonts, too. Thunderbird seems to use the "Other Writing Systems" for message contents, which is a pain, because I need to use that for another writing system, too.

I would like to be able to view the names of tabs and the address bar. I am able to adjust the page views and all is well there. I do not want to use stronger glasses just to view the tabs and address bar and then switch to another strength of reading glasses.

Hey guys! I believe that if you enable MIR card payment acceptance, you'll see a significant increase in donations. I wanted to donate but I couldn't because my MIR card is not accepted by your payment method. And I don't have another card...

I am unable to add new contacts in my contact list. It definitely is creating a problem. Why will it not let me add them, please and how do I fix the issue? I did not have this problem until I got a new computer and using Windows 11.

Tested on different browsers with different phones. Firefox for Android overlays keyboards on top of the webpage instead of resizing the viewport. This partially blocks the view of responsive webpages and most times blocks the view of text input boxes while typing.

Image attached shows how the keyboard is overlaid on top of the end of the footer of the Mozilla website. Last image shows a Chrome screenshot for comparison.

Now, after the latest update (October 18 – 144.0 (Build #2016119303)), keyboard isn't "detected" by pages. So when KB is open, can't scroll to the bottom of the page. Or similarly, pages which have a message box at the bottom, KB overlays that box and everything below it. Quick test shows that only the New Tab screen and URL bar know about the keyboard status.

I have been using Dashlane Password for a long time. For several weeks it hasn't worked. The program used to ask for my address and master password, but it no longer does. Now it asks for a code number of 6ix digits instead, stating that the number has been sent to my address. However, I never receive the number. My address has never changed and is the first thing it asks for. Then, no code arrives.I have sent many requests, including specifics about the change and lack of access, but have not gotten a reply to any. I think Dashlane died and customer support also did. My 147 passwords, financial information, personal address and SSN are all still there at Dead Dashlane. If they won't answer Mozzilla either at least I tried.

All of a sudden, the text in my Bookmarks bar has turned black making it unreadable on the black background. Any idea why this happened and how I may revert the text back to white? Thank you for your help.

I'm looking for an Android email client that only shows the headers and optionally shows/download the body of the email and any attachments. The reason is that this way I can save space on my phone while maintaining the convenience of a mail client. I read that K9-Mail, now integrated with Thunderbird, has this selectable feature. Is this true? If so, I'll proceed with installing Thunderbird.

When I installed Firefox, I struggled to find a theme that was easy for me to see. So many had dark borders/backgrounds or busy backgrounds or transparent. It appears that I'm using the default at present and am happy with everything but the visibility of those little icons. Is there is a way to make them darker? Thanks

Windows 10 on PC with Thunderbird 140.1.0esr (64-bit) Since the last update, the background on my Tbird messages list, email panel and in my compose email panel have turned from my eye-friendly light grey to glaring white and this is literally causing me a headache and a "flimmer" in my eyes (common in people with blue eyes). All other programs in Windows show me the light grey background as they should, it's Thunderbird itself which isn't picking up the light grey. The only place in all the tools and settings menus that I was able to find ANYTHING about background colour was (three bars) -> tools -> Settings -> HTML Style [ ] Use reader's default colours <- makes no difference whether this box is marked or not Beneath that: Text Colour is set to black. Background colour is set to light grey. There is no way to Save the settings page, so one presumes they are automatically saved. Restart (done several times) Thunderbird - still this blasted white background. I do not use HTML for emails, I use plain text. Could someone please tell me how I can get my light grey background back ?

Hello, everyone,

Tried to download Firefox onto my android mobile, but it kept saying I have to get the app from google.

Due to my ‘thing’ about internet security, I will not use google at any price!

Can you direct me to where I might get the app elsewhere, please?

Thanx very much,

KR CJAB
