Firefox does updates constantly. You can have an update happen within a few days of each other. At least that's what appears to me. I don't update apps unless I really need to. But this constant reminder to update is so annoying! So I'm forced to update, even though I'm not experiencing any issues with Firefox.

That being said, yesterday, I finally decided to update Firefox. Says there is a 109.x.x update. Fine. I updated. This morning, I get another update reminder. This time it's for 110.0.1. Turns out, this "latest" update was release Feb 28. So my question is, if I updated Firefox on March 7, why did it NOT update to the "latest" version of 110.0.1? Instead it, just updated to the second latest.

It seems that Firefox browser, and Firefox devs aren't very savvy, in getting the browser to update to the "latest" version. Like most apps would. With Firefox, it appears you have to update the version right after the current version your using. Which in my case, is still an older version of the browser. So after it updated to a newer older version. Then it was able to update to next update after that. Which I'm guessing is 110.0.1. With other apps, you don't have to download ALL the updates one at a time, to get to the latest version. You just update to the latest version, and ALL previous and current updates happen at once. That's smarter and more efficient.

This seems to track of how not very intelligent Firefox is. At the very least, make the option to NOT GET REMINDERS TO UPDATE. Give users the option to update when they want to, without getting annoying notifications. AND/OR when users finally do decide to update, that they would UPDATE TO THE LATEST version. And not have to do multiple updates just to get to the latest update.

Whenever there's an update for Firefox (which is OFTEN), there's no notification or indication, the browser just... stops working. I use a Macbook running Big Sur.

I spent two hours this morning assuming that Google Docs was messing up or that my connection was bad, until I checked Firefox. Turns out that, once again, the browser update caused the browser to just stop functioning. This is far from the first time this has happened, and I'm really fed up.

I also hate this new thing where companies don't allow you to submit a support request, instead they want you to read through the help articles and post on the forums and do ANYTHING except contact them directly. I work in a customer support environment, so I know how dumb customers are, but making it impossible to contact you is not the solution.

I've just discovered, that by typing text into urlbar and then clicking enter while holding SHIFT or ALT leads to a different behavior by opening tab in new window or new tab respectively.

But I have custom layout with caps+space acting as enter via xkb 8-level mapping, and that enter always opens new tabs. I suspect what is happening is that firefox thinks that I have alt down when the keyboard state is in third level. But I don't really use those modifiers so is it possible to just disable this behavior and open everything in same tab?

Hello, I've been dealing with this issue for some time now, but I don't know when it started. One day pages started being displayed with Impact as my body copy, but I never changed anything about my fonts in Firefox. I thought it was something with my system fonts, but I've since uninstalled copies of Impact on my Windows 10 PC. I'm not sure where else to look, but Impact is a difficult font to read as it's super bold & condensed. Makes reading body copy, especially small type, hard to navigate.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you in advance!

I accessed the RedHat 7 Administrator Guide (in PDF form) from a RedHat web page. Firefox shows it as 603 (or so) pages long. If I print it from my Windows 11 Acer laptop from Firefox, somewhere between 40 and 58 pages print. The times that Firefox pretends that the document is 58 pages long, there is an error pop-up (attached) - an error message that provides absolutely no useful information. Other times, there is no error message, but only the first pages of the document print. In "normal" (not debugging mode), the Windows 11 printer status page shows the page status as a fraction, with the denominator climbing as Firefox seems to be stepping through the pages of the document, and with the numerator seemingly climbing as pages are sent to the printer (on my LAN). The denominator stops at between 40 and 58 pages. If I run Firefox in debug mode, the status shows only one number. Judging by its speed, I assume that it's the number of pages sent to the printer. If I copy the same pdf document to, say, my CentOS Linux 5.8 box and print it with lpr, the entire document prints. If I open the document (on the WIndows 11 box) with Bing, it prints many pages. [I stopped the print job after 70 pages or so. I don't KNOW if it would print the whole document, but it gets farther than FIrefox does.] It doesn't matter if I print from the Firefox print dialog or the system/driver one. And, both are set to print ALL pages of the document.

I synchronise open pages to and from multiple devices that have diverse operating systems and OS versions.

My default search engine is the same on all devices, and it is not google search -- which I do not want to use.

When I open a synchronised search page on any of my devices, the URL is rewritten to use google search with my search string.

I have not found anything in the config page to resolve this (that doesn't mean it isn't there; it means that I haven't found it).

How do I make it stop?

n.b. if I modify browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.improvesearch.topSiteSearchShortcuts.searchEngines, it not only reverts to google, but it creates a duplicate entry for itself (which is also set as google).

And for some reason the fonts just look like this... (everything works fine)

Is there anything that can fix this?

Tried method: using another version of firefox [stable,beta(current),nightly] Use revert to roboto fonts on miui themes

Chromium dont have this issue

There is temporary fix for it by using font changer add-ons

Using Firefox Developers edition since the update to 109.0b3 (64-bit). The scroll wheel doesn't work, the mouse button I have mapped to the back button no longer works. If I launch Firefox in troubleshooting mode everything goes back to normal and the mouse performs perfectly in troubleshooting mode. Back in normal mode I have tried disabling all three of my extensions and the problem persists. Mouse performs perfectly in every other application. Sounds like a bug, but I can't find anyway to report it. Any ideas? Thanks

It would be helpful If FireFox would remember the previosly selected location.

Hi guys! Currently I'm working on a project which renders video with webGL. The result works on all browsers as expected but not with Firefox vers 109 for Apple Silicon devices (m1, m2) - the video animation is just lagging,it takes cpu usage up to 160% and the video itself is stretched. Comparing to that Chrome takes 22%, Safari 14% of cpu usage. It's just regarding to this devices, it works fine on Microsoft so I think it's a browser bug regarding to osx verision. Could someone pls help me with that or have a look over?
