This is a 2019 bump to https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1221476 .
Firefox renders text incorrectly. It uses DirectWrite, which is incorrect, it should use GDI to render text. In all the next updates please immediately rewrite the Microsoft Windows renderer sourcecode to render all text with GDI.

Yesterday morning my computer crashed.After rebooting and opening Firefox again all I saw was a blank new tab page(first picture).I copied my profile folder before doing anything else.After doing some googling and trying things I saw in forums including copying the contents of the backup to the currently used folder and deleting the sessionstore.jsonlz4 file and renaming a few of the sessionstore-backups folder files and the recovery.jsonlz4 file and using them in it's place all I could get was a blank about:sessionrestore page(the second picture)Is there anything I can do?

I noticed that after a firefox refresh a file called "old firefox" is created. Does this file represent the entire configuration of firefox? if I restored the file to its original location would ff function exactly as before?
I noticed that the add-ons are removed would they also be restored?
Firefox cannot locate my profile. Unable to open profile manager.
Already tried uninstalling everything.
I was doing some command line stuff and afterwards Firefox stopped working.

Running Mac OS10 and Firefox 68.0.1 on an iMac. I am able to log into Facebook but only get a blank, gray screen with the Facebook search bar at the top. Facebook loads and operates fine using other browsers on the same computer. Strong Internet connection. Other sites load just fine using Firefox. Here is what I have tried: disabling all Firefox add-ons and extensions, restarting in safe mode, clearing cache and cookies, clearing recent history, doing virus and malware scans (McAfee Total Protection 4.5.9), and even signing into Facebook as a guest. No luck. Any additional advice?

I have (or had) several sites pinned so that they would always appear when I opened a new tab. I use them like bookmarks. Rather than add them to the bookmarks bar, I keep them there so I don't have to expand the tool bar menu and can see everything at once. Unfortunately, all the tiles on my new tab page are now missing, and there is also no cogwheel present where I can adjust the settings. I did not have Firefox sync before but recently turned it on. However, the tiles were still there initially after I signed in. They didn't disappear until the next day. Any ideas how I can fix this? Thank you!

Blocked by Content Security Policy
An error occurred during a connection to www.scribd.com.
"Firefox prevented this page from loading in this way because the page has a content security policy that disallows it." On IE, the message said it cannot be loaded in a FRAME. It's a letter!
I looked at and tried some instructions in Content Blocking. No solutions are there. Thank you.

I've been having an issue with Firefox for some time now, like when I load up a video on Youtube or look up pictures on Deviant Art, rather than the page being placed at the top point of the web page, instead it's been moved down the page, even though it's only slightly for Youtube but it's worse on Deviant Art. Like for some reason when I'm browsing, the pictures on the top of results load up at the top correctly but when I go down the results page and click on any picture, the page starts half way down passed the picture and near the comments. I don't think web pages are supposed to start from the middle of the webpage when you load it up.

Firefox is now displaying this error message with every site that IN FACT they have https connections.
Two things happened since last night.
1. I received a Firefox update last night. 2. I clicked on a link to a bogus news article that Malwarebytes stopped, yet Firefox was affected in that a false Microsoft tab opened and required task manager to kill the Firefox session.
Virus scans were clean.
But something was set in Firefox to automatically open to that tab, which, of course required Task Manager to terminate. Uninstalls, re-installs, blah, blah, blah I was able to stop Firefox from automatically opening to the offending web page.
However, I can not go to any web pages without getting the error warning :Did Not Connect: Potential Security Issue"
Any ideas? Is this a regedit thing? Would there be some entries under Firefox to delete? Is there a list of good things and therefore anything else would be worthy of deletion?
BTW, it is the latest version of Win10 Firefox as of 7/12/2019 and 7/13/2019.
Thoughts pertinent comments appreciated.

Hi there The most recent update for #Firefox has a "bug fix" (1565315) for which the access to details are denied. That's peculiar for an open source project. The bug is about Russian users having their default search engine changed. Is this just a geolock? VPN didn't work. I like to be able to view the details of any update I'm installing, for obvious privacy reasons. When will these details be made available so I can update? Thanks.

Hello,
I notice on ubuntu with FireFox 68.0 64bit that some times after starting the browser that a small Ubuntu Notification appears: FireFox displays some recommendation to visit, f.e. did I received today a popup, displaying a new Reddit Post.
This is a huge issue, because: There was NO Reddit Tab open There was NO Tab loaded (browser started fresh) - the last selected Tab opened, which has nothing to do with Reddit There is NO cookie of Reddit on this computer / I use addons to auto-delete cookies after closing a Tab There is NO exception rule in this Addon for Reddit
To me this is some serious issue, that FireFox is doing something (like checking on websites) without my explicit command for it!
What is it by name and how to stop this? Are you aware of any other features like that, calling "home" or calling other servers (exept of update server) without my knowledge?
Thanks
