I-Firefox Isithangami Sokwesekwa

Hello, I've noticed a change since the last update and don't understand why?

When opening the bookmarks tab I would get the drop down of a long list of links I have saved. I sometimes bunch them into groups so when looking down the long list, I can see the link I want better when more than one are from the same website.

But my issue is that when I went through the list and found that group of links, I could click onto one to open the page. In the past before the update I could click on the bookmarks drop down again, and still see the same area of links I had just clicked on.

Now when the bookmarks drop down closes it defaults to the top of the list and I need to scan down to find the links I was looking at again. Why? Yes when I closed the browser off and reopened it the bookmarks list would start at the top again. But if left opened I could click on the bookmarks tab and it would open to the same link area I clicked onto last.

Is there a way in settings I can reverse this annoying, unnecessary change.

A word to the Firefox workers that like changing things for no reason. I use Firefox because I like the things your browser has that the others don't. Keep taking the little things away that people like, which you seem to keep doing, then my favourite browser will just become "The same old s#*@" like all the others.

hello , I have win 11 laptop where Firefox is my default browser , and recently it seems that I can't play any videos on Firefox and I keep getting this error : if playback doesn't begin shortly, try restarting your device Youtube seems to be working on other browsers and I tried every single suggestion out there to fix this but nothing helped ,examples:

1. Retarting device , browser 2. updating device , browser 3.disabling hardware accleration on FF 4.checked for driver updates for my GPU 5.disabled any extensions or add-ons 6.run FF in tshoot mode 7.checked that windows media fetaure is installed

it only works when I run FF in compatibility mode /windows 8 , which is not ideal for me. can you please help ? 

Regards, Haneen

Try this test first. Go to About:Config, write TLS , change the setting to max (4) . Then attempt to download the firefox installer. The website won't load, as the webmasters did not enable TLS 1.3 , which in 2023 is kind of a shame. The browser cannot update itself either automatically if only TLS 1.3 is allowed, and TLS1.2 is disabled.

The can be an easy fix. I wonder why Mozilla did not solve this already years back. I also wonder why fans, and security researchers did not scream about it in the past..

For the download.mozilla.org the cipher suite Key Exchange is P256, while the Signature is RSA-PKCS1-SHA512, for Transport Layer Security 1.2

I'm sure Mozilla can do better then this, so kindly review these items, and update your website with stronger / modern encryption standards. Decommission the legacy ones please. While you are at it, please also enable HSTS. ;) Cheers!

For last few weeks something keeps changing my default browser from DuckDuckGo to Amazon and I have no idea how or why. Is there a way to lock the default so Amazon can't change it?

Having a long list of bookmarks, I used to be able to scroll to the bottom, chose a bookmark there and after closing the page and opening bookmarks again, it has stayed focused around the last used one. Now, when I open bookmarks again, it has reverted back to the top and have to scroll all the way down again to the one I want. This happened since the latest update. I have not been able to find any solution in settings. Can anyone point me to a solution?

Best regards,

Mouse scroll wheel not scrolling web page after installing Firefox version 110. I installed an older version, 98, and it worked again, but that version would not use my profile and it seemed to update itself to 110 and then scrolling was broken again. Am I alone or is everyone broken at version 110?

Hi, I want to sign in to icloud with my appleId via https://www.icloud.com/ with my security keys YubiKey 5C NFC, but the page states that this browser does not support security keys. Every other service as Gmail or Facebook etc ... works perfectly and the security key pop-up will show up but not for icloud. I have hardened my Firefox with uBlocker and disallowed cookies. Can it be because of this? I attached screenshot. I am running Win10 with firefox 110.0 (64-bit). I have contacted apple support and they told me it is Firefox issue. Thanks for reply.

Almost daily I get an intrusive update notice which is invasive and unacceptable.

If your browser is so flawed that updates are done daily (during most weeks) then you should just plain GIVE UP!

At least have the courtesy and brains to schedule this ever 2 to 4 weeks at most. Stop invading my privacy and get your act together!!!!

I do not understand this data breach notification. It says I have a data breach, lists several things compromised, including email address, partial credit card, etc. But I have no idea how or with what login, if any, the breach occurred. How does the advice to choose better passwords go toward "resolving" the breach? It's more frustrating than helpful.

Why are bookmark folders resetting to the top each time they're used? Instead of the folder holding it's place, it now goes back to the top of the folder. So if I used a bookmark that was midway down a folder, and I want to use the bookmark directly below it next, I have to scroll down the folder back to it, instead of the folder holding its place. Why? And how can I make it stop? Thanks.

Since my Firebox browser automatically updated on Feb 20, 2023, it crashes several times a day. Is this a known issue? Will there be another update released soon to fix this issue? Or how can I fix this on my end? Thank you.

I do not know what I'm doing wrong but my main pc won't sync it's tabs to my other devices. It just says "no open tabs".

I'm able to see all the tabs open on my other devices but not my main pc's

I have noticed this happening and dug a bit to find a quirk.

Opening a link in a new tab: Doesn't work if the men hits the top of the screen.

See attached video via link.

(Of course when I recorded it, it worked, but it took some effort.) Multiple clicks to get it to open.

But if you watch a bit more of the video: if I scroll the screen so the menu is NOT at the top of the screen and I select "open in new tab" it opens straight away.

WARNING! TURN DOWN THE VOLUME! Sorry, but I only realised that the sound was also captured and ..... Anyway: Please turn down the volume!

Now, not the DEFINITIVE proof, this has been happening to me a lot lately, and it was only by chance I noticed the quirk about "top of screen".

Is anyone else seeing this?

I use Mozilla firefox browesr on 4 PCs Recently Firefox on one pc that runs windows 11 OS is very very slow. Other browsers work Ok on that PC Tried the following 1) deleted all cookies 2) in the process of uninstall (via add remove) I opted for the refresh option. No improvement 3) Uninstalled REBOOTED and reinstalled by downloading latest No change

When I reinstalled, system informed me that i previously used F/fox so the removal was not 100%

Would a full removal resolve? And if so how it achieved? If that is not the solution, please advise what to try next

Hi!

There is no way to give any feedback eve tough I am logged in. As you can see from screenshot. I can only read others. Could someone share here screenshot showing where to find some button/form to leave a feedback?

PS if you are FF website maintainer then for your information: It is a bad design if people need tutorial on how to leave a feedback.

The blocking of mixed content is stopping me from using Ebay. I can't expand photos of items or look at any a additional photos . Most importantly I can't bid. Which is VERY, VERY, VERY frustrating and annoying.

I have followed your help guide as to how to turn off this annoying feature, but they are incorrect!

When I get to the appropriate screen which say 'You are not connected securely...' the tab to turn off blocking protection for mixed content is missing. It doesn't exist! Consequently I can't tun it off and can't bid or look at photos on Ebay.

Please correct this asap please.

Hi

To be honest, I'm not sure if this is exclusive to Firefox as the same problem is happening in Chrome as well. I'm pretty sure it was working earlier, but at some point this evening the Google search box is no longer displaying my search history when I click in the box. If I type something similar to what I've searched for, those searches show. But before, the most recent searches would appear just from clicking inside the box, like in the saved image.

I've tried various things, but nothing is working. I don't appear to be in Incognito mode and I've checked the relevant options are enabled. Remember History is on and I've cleared the cookies for Google.com and Google.co.uk and signed back into my account, but nothing appears to be working. I've even tried restarting Windows (11).
