I have deleted the two accounts and added them back, restarted thunderbird but still be the same message. I'm sure this has happened since i updated the thunderbird version

The picture in picture option just stopped working one day. I checked absolutely everything and nothing is out of place. When I leave the browser with a video on it just starts as it would if the PiP worked but then it abruptly ends and when you come back into the page the video is off and it's usually back to home page on YouTube. Like I didn't put a video on in the first place.

I've had ongoing issues with both TB and Firefox so I finally broke down and did a fresh install of Windows 10. OS is updated except for one KB downloading now, all drivers are updated, and I am basically running a fresh install with only Firefox and TB installed (no other apps). Firefox (137.0.2) continues to crash with these crash reports having been submitted - all today. Can anyone discern a common thread in them please?

Numerous sites, most recently Etsy, will not give me access. The message is always this or some variation: "We detected unusual activity from your device or network. Reasons may include: Rapid taps or clicks. JavaScript disabled or not working. Automated (bot) activity on your network (IP 71.217.57.171) Use of developer or inspection tools."

This happens even if I disable Ublock Origin. The only other extensions I have are 1Password, Zoom and Undo close tab. How do I fix this? The problem does not exist if I use a different browser. It is VERY frustrating!

Hi,

I'm on a fresh Windows and the CPU usage is waaaaay too big. When TB is out of focus, it uses about 10% of my CPU. This can go up to 15% when the window is active. It's not doing anything, not downloading or compacting or anything.

Thanks !

When I open a crossword to print, the black squares do not show. In general, I cannot fill in any squares or circles. Thee is something wrong with the computer.

Recently I was distro hopping and changed from biglinux to deepin, then changed back to biglinux. Everything seems normal as usual, but firefox: I'm having issues with the scale of the app and the content as well. It should show things bigger and it's very hard to see icons, buttons and content, besides being aesthetically unpleasing.

I've tought it should be a problem with GTK apps, but I've tested others and the issue only shows on firefox. Can someone help me with this issue?

After using Firefox as my default browser with no issues now for at least 6-8 years, suddenly within the past 90 days I am being signed out of Firefox without my knowledge or consent almost every day. Thus, websites are not recognizing me that always did prior to these issues (Facebook, Amazon, local grocery store chains, etc.) and I am having to go thru full security log in procedures over and over again, day after day. In the past I NEVER had these issues unless I ran a CC Cleaner scan or other PC clean-up software and, even then, I would simply go thru the security procedures and sign in to their site or account one time, then would be fine for week/months until I ran a cleaner scan again. What do I need to do to keep myself signed in ongoing with Firefox so that it does not disconnect me every day and I can avoid so much wasted time with all these security measures for my commonly visited sites (incl YouTube)? If this continues I am strongly considering using a different default browser that hopefully can eliminate these very irritating daily issues. Thanks for your help, Jim S.

After updating to the latest version, the following occurs when I login to microsoftonline.com:

1. I enter my username and password at the prompts provided by Microsoft.

2. Instead of going directly to the page requiring that I enter the code generated by an authentication app I get a pop-up window asking me to choose a certicate: "The firefox Focus app has requested a certificate...The app has identified the requesting server as microsoftonline.com." The two choices offered are gak_ec_alias and gak_rsa_alias.

3. If I pick the right one, the process proceeds to authentication and login successfully.

The problem is that this now happens every single time I login. I've been using firefox Focus for several years and I can never recall this happening before. Perhaps there was somehting wrong with the update? I'd be grateful if this could be investigated.

Seems I've noticed an issue with playing of YouTube videos the last few days. It seems that either the video(s) is slower to load and/or is slower to play. While it's not terribly slower in human time it's slower than normal in computer time. I'm not having this problem in Chrome. Cookies and cache are cleaned multiple times a day. So, I'm a little stumped as to why I'm having this issue. Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks

Earlier I had a problem with Facebook. When I clicked on the Firefox icon on the task bar Facebook would open to my home page. Then, out of the blue, this afternoon, when I open Facebook, a small page would show up then Facebook would load. When I would close FB (x in upper right corner), that mysterious page of FB was there. Had to close it by clicking on the X in the upper right corner. Tried several things but could not get it to go away. So, I uninstalled/reinstalled Firefox. Got everything reinstalled. Now,when I click on the Firfox icon on the task bar, what comes up is the Facebook log-in page where I have to enter ID/password. Before, Facebook would open automatically. Any idea why this is happening and how do I get FB to open automatically like before? Thanks

If I use the close window shortcut (ctrl+shift+w) in Firefox it fails to close the window and treats every action I try to take as if the shift and ctrl keys were held down. For example, clicking on a tab will select it as if I were trying to move it as a group, rather than switching to it. Or, pressing only the T key will reopen closed tabs as if I had pressed ctrl+shift+T. This behavior will persist in Firefox until I close out of it completely and reopen. This does not occur when any other application is focused and ctrl+shift+w is pressed, and the effects are isolated to Firefox only when it does occur. Due to this, I do not believe that it is a hardware issue, eg. my keys just getting stuck. I haven't seen anything online that even vaguely resembles this issue. Any solution would be appreciated, even if it is disabling the ctrl+shift+w shortcut, as I keep pressing it out of habit and needing to close and reopen all of my tabs.
