Hi everyone,

I'm running Firefox which I compiled with vaapi support because I was trying to use hardware acceleration for videos, so I think this bug may have something to do with that. Every time I open a pdf file my browser instantly crashes. When I use troubleshoot mode I have no such issue. I then tried with a fresh all-default user profile with no add-ons, nothing, and still I crash when loading a PDF. Any pointers would be appreciated.

I have reviewed the previous forums on what changes to make to the outgoing stmp for outlook and have implemented them however, I am still unable to send emails. Please see attached for the edit smtp settings I am using. According to the forums these are the correct settings. The only difference is that I don't seem to have the ability to set authentication method to login as that is not an option for me.

What am I missing?

Dear,

I have been using Firefox Developer Edition for many years without any problem. I sync Firefox on my different PCs, so they are basically all the same in setup. Unfortunately, Firefox now crashes constantly on my main PC. I have therefore temporarily switched to the default FF variant.

Of course I have tried all the steps shown here on the forum but without any result that I can see. Both in safe mode with or without addons. No matter FF crashed.

The error ID: Crash ID: bp-20d91ca4-1f79-4211-a3d5-4fd7c0240507

I hope someone can help me on my way ,

Regards,

Reinder

Very similar to -> https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1427103

My firefox now freezes when I click in the URL bar. NO solution I have found so far other than task manager -> end task and restart the browser. Occasionally that will work, other times it will immediately freeze again.

Historically I have had a LOT of tabs open, more recently less than 20 tabs. I have never seen the issue before.

Windows 10 22H2 Ryzen 3600 32GB RAM Nvidia RTX 3060 LHR 3 Monitors 2 - 1920x1200, 1 - 1920x1080

What I have tried so far: - reboot - restart firefox - "refresh" firefox - troubleshooting mode - removed all extensions - removed some extensions - reduced tabs down to a few - tried to click in the start page search instead of url bar - turned off hardware acceleration - turned on hardware acceleration - turned off TLS DNS - using only 1 window at a time instead of 2 or 3 - waited for an hour or so and window did not become responsive

None of these solutions fixed the issue. A screenshot would be useless as the window looks fine, but the UI is unresponsive.

I solve it manually by resizing the page, so they load.

Is there a way to turn off tracking URL fragment insertion from the release notes page when clicking "What's New" in the Firefox update modal?

When I click "What's New" in this modal (see Screenshot 1), it loads the release notes page for my current version (although it really should load the release notes page for the version it wants me to upgrade to, but that's another issue altogether), and inserts a bunch of tracking URI fragments onto the URL (see Screenshot 2).

Is there a way (in Settings, about:config, Windows Registry, etc.) to disable that fragment insertion?

How do I transfer all the old emails & folders from the old laptop to the new one? Or is it a settings issue I need to go into on the old laptop to make it so they appear in the new laptop?

I'm afraid the same thing will happen when I start using my windows desktop. Should I poll the network cable and delete my firefox sync data, so I can hopefully save my containers setup? Or is this not going to help, and I'm fucked anyway :)

I have come across an issue when replacing hyperlinks in emails.

The scenario is: I have an email that I have sent that includes a link (a zoom meeting).

I wish to send a similar email so I go to my sent items, find the previous sent email, and highlight, copy and paste the contents of the email that was sent to a new composed email.

I then copy the new link, highlight the existing link and paste the new link in its place.

I then confirm that I have the correct new link showing - I can see the meeting number within the link and it matches the new link.

However after sending the email, it is then converted to a hyperlink, and when hovering the mouse over the link, it shows the destination as the previous link that has been deleted.

This only appears to affect the html version of the email, so the plain text part is still correct.

Understandably, the problem isn't immediately noticeable as the link still looks correct, and it is only when clicking or hovering over the link that the discrepancy is evident.

I realise (now I am aware of the issue) this can be resolved by deleting the previous link first, then pasting the new link separately, but it would be helpful to know if there is a way to prevent this happening in the first place as it means having to remember that Thunderbird is quirky with swapping links.

Hi there, thanks for your attention I'm a web developer and new to using firefox. I was using chrome for years and now just because firefox on android let's us install add-on like it's desktop version I'm switching to firefox. as a developer I need to learn about the features firefox offers to developers or ask for any features that are missing right now, so my current issue is about the pictures I will attach. I want to have more information about the element that I'm inspecting right in the tool-tip over it for example it's active font-family or things like that. It took me sometime to figure out how to find the active font of the target element thanks to This post. but in chrome it's showed in the tool-tip.

My Firefox browser is somehow corrupted with foreign language features. See in the picture that much of the text is in English - the selected and preferred language. It is what the Settings are set to. But notice that bits and pieces are in some other language. I recently made a trip to Spain and used translation features while there - but those was all reset to English. I've gone into Troubleshooting mode; I've restarted; I've reset and restarted. But I can't seem to get rid of the gibberish. WTH!!!! All copies of Firefox, on all owned Mac machines (i-Phone; Mac Mini; I-Mac Pro; I pads) are set to English. About the only thing I haven't done it uninstall and reinstall Firefox. Thanks for any help you can offer.
