Prior to FF 69, I could zoom to HUGE font sizes in Reader Mode. As a user with low vision (macular degeneration) this was very helpful. However, in FF69, zooming is extremely limited. The maximum font size appears to be about 24 point - which is next to useless for those with low vision. Is there any way this can be fixed? I tried the Reader addon, but its zoom isn't much better.

I have been using Firefox since it first came out and replaced the old Mozilla browser. When Firefox Sync first came out, I used it a few times and it messed up my bookmarks. As a result, I went back to manually syncing my bookmarks by exporting them on my primary computer and then deleting and importing them on my secondary computer. I recently tried Firefox sync again and it messed up my bookmarks again. The result was double the bookmarks and folders. I have a first set of bookmarks and folders that appear the be synced followed by a second set of bookmarks and empty folders. The second set follows the same order as the first set above starting with Bookmarks Toolbar, Other Bookmarks, Recently Bookmarked, Recently Tagged, and then a bunch empty folders. Also in the first set, many of my favicons are missing. What is going on and how can I fix this?

On some sites, the video controls flash intermittently while playing. On one in particular - theguardian.com/uk - embedded video content will not play. The sound will, but the picture won't. I've done seemingly everything - disable hardware acceleration, messed about with tracking, blocking, permissions, extensions, plugins, reset that site, refreshed Firefox. Nothing works. I've been using Firefox happily for over a decade, but this is severely testing my faith and allegiance. I'm using a 2019 Mac, but Apple say it's not their problem. The protracted steps I had to take to even get to this page on this forum have seriously tested my patience. Please, Firefox - how can I fix this?

I kept trying to select Restore Previous Session but Firefox option is grey and unable to access. I made a copy of the sessionstore-backups folder, then closed firefox, replaced the new sessionstore-backups folder, then restarted firefox and problem continued to persist. I noticed this morning when I started up Firefox that the amount of windows I normally have open for session restore doubled and where all blank. Can anyone help me restore previous session?

Mac OS X High Sierra 10.13.6
Here's the routine with FF on this machine: If FF 68.0.2 is running, after a while I will try to open a new tab and be told "Sorry we need to do one small thing to keep going, FF has been updated in the background, Restart FF" I do so. It opens up a new, clean profile in a new window (About FF now says 68.0.1 in this version of FF, and it downloads 68.0.2 and prompts to Restart FF (again)). At which point it runs "a new helper tool" and re-updates FF to 68.0.2. I then have to mess with about:profiles to go back to my profile. Things then run routinely for a few hours or a day, before the whole routine starts over again.
Alternately, if FF 68.0.2 is not running, if I open it (after opening and closing it several times without issue), I will get a message that "You've launched an older version of FF, Create New Profile or Quit". Create New Profile leads me through the routine above.
Versions of the above routine have happened not just between 68.0.2 and 68.0.1, but also between earlier version updates. That is, this has been going on for months. It does seem in the last couple of weeks that the interval of time has shortened and I'm having to do this routine everyday or even multiple times a day. I have no problems like this with FF on any other machine.
I've tried:
Trashing FF and re-dl'ing from Mozilla. No dice. Trashing FF, trashing Library/Cache/Mozilla and Firefox folders. No dice. Trashing FF, trashing Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles (and re-signing in to retrieve my existing bookmarks etc and re-setting up View and other Preferences). No dice.
If anyone has any ideas, I'll be grateful, thanks in advance.

Thought problem was just on MyPoints when viewing videos but occurred yesterday at InBoxDollas while playing a game.
- 9/15 - Attached is one of the video screens with the website slowing...... In this group Postables - almost all had this come up. Sometimes just froze there & when I refreshed screen this ... website slowing.... came up & I had to StopIt for video to continue. {Often the screen would be Black as attached shows, sometimes black with an x in the middle so I refreshed}**
Last night I deleted History (except for personal.). Opened MyPoints this morning & went to Postables where half or more of the videos had this popup line stating Website slowing...... & I had to keep clicking on StopIt. I went to the video in image I added but the 2nd from there had this popup - slowing website.... So I guess deleting history helped some perhaps - but is still there. {Searched last night & all the ideas/thoughts listed to stop this went back to 2016. Before deleting History, I went to registry & searched for Firefox Pioneer and also Shockware - None were found.

I've researched and tried just about everything I can to get drop down menus to work on a certain site...turned off hardware acceleration, tried loading the site in safe mode without any add-ons or themes, disabled all content blocking for the site, deleted all cookies and cache, reinstalled flash, etc etc etc. Nothing works. I have verified that the site functions properly using other browsers so I'm at a dead end now. Any help would be appreciated.

No issues when using another browser to upload an image. After completing a sync with MS OneDrive, my Firefox's File Upload folders are all empty despite my MS OneDrive being up-to-date. Every folder stills how the "still syncing" symbol, yet they there is no syncing going on at all. Why the incompatibility? Not happy with FF. Needs attention for a fix.

Problem started yesterday afternoon when trying to upload photos to Walgreens.com for printing. Kept getting message "Firefox has stopped working. A problem is preventing the program from working correctly. Windows will close the program...." Tried uploading using Chrome & no problems at all. Problem continued today -- also getting the same error message in firefox options/add-ons/security, etc. Have restarted computer, refreshed firefox, ran in safe mode -- same thing happens. Bitdefender security is up-to-date Checked Mozilla Crash Reporter -- NOTHING shows for yesterday or today.
Bitdefender does show this info at approx. same timeframe as some of the crashes (although it only shows 3 instances & firefox crashed many more times than that) -- Potentially malicious application blocked 2 hours ago

Hello,
I am having bit of a problem with the cookies in the latest Firefox 69 and the 69.0.1 update that I had just now. In the Firefox I had Cookies and site data permissions set to allow specific sites for the current session and now after the update looks like those cookies are getting blocked... I always have been using private mode and I had disabled all the cookies. Looks like a bug, right? I think I could try add exceptions to the Content blocking, but then again, other stuff apart from cookies will be allowed. Running browser in the safe mode gives same result.
I would appreciate some help to resolve that issue. Thank you.

Google Maps keeps showing information, that the Earth 3d view is not available. It worked for two days or so, just after the system reinstallation (Windows 10), but suddenly stopped. Firefox Quantum 69.0 64 bit, system Windows 10 installed a month ago (updated daily), GTX750 Ti, CPU i7-3770, 16 GB RAM. I've tried to clear cache, cookies and google for the solution, but nothing helped. Months ago, when Firefox showed "Earth 3d view is not available" (in the right bottom corner of the map) I could just click that link, and choose "Other versions..." and "Open Maps in 3d" but it doesn't work any more. Earth 3d map view works in Chrome. Please help!

Dark theme can be tested by reversing the foreground and background colors in the HTML.
For reference, here is the correct GDI rendering of this website:

In Firefox ESR 52.4.1 (32-bit), text renders correctly:
https://i.imgur.com/InrXmeI.png https://i.imgur.com/kn3bZra.png
which is the same as the GDI rendering of this website, except for some line spacing issues.
However, in Firefox 70.0b6 (32-bit), the rendering regressed and text no longer renders correctly:

Line spacing is correct, but don't let this distract you from how profoundly unsmooth the rendering is in the light theme version. The dark theme version is nearly identical though.
