Hi there!

Is there a way to define the view in which pdf files are opened by default?

When I open a pdf file it opens in "Automatic Zoom." Is it possible to set pdf's to open in "page width" or a different zoom setting?

Kind regards

Hello, I've got a bit of an issue with Sync. So, my current sync profile is outdated by ages, and I'd like to delete it completely and update it with all of the information on my desktop browser. But, when I try to enable sync on my desktop it overwrites my desktop profile with all of the outdated information saved on Sync. I can't seem to find anywhere to delete the saved Sync data so that I can upload a new copy.

I hope someone can help, thank you!

Hello,

There has been an upgrade of Firefox ESR to version 128.3 on Debian 12 bookworm.

Before the update, I could play videos, now I can't.

I precise I can play videos on Chromium, or with the video players.

I have libavcodec58, libavcodec-extra59, ffmpeg 5.1.6 packages installed.

There is an error in the console: Media resource xxx.webm could not be decoded. Specified “type” attribute of “video/mp4” is not supported. Load of media resource xxx.mp4 failed.

This command seems to indicate the session is X11 and not Wayland: ``` loginctl show-session 1 -p Type Type=x11 ```

When I'm composing a message there, and copy some text from i.e. that thread page, this thread page, a google search, etc. in the Firefox browser, and try to paste it into my message, nothing happens.

However, If I paste the item elsewhere, i.e. in my test editor, and copy it from there, then I can paste it into the answers.microsoft.com. thread message.

I initially thought this was some Microsoft site restriction, but I don't experience this in Chrome. Not only can I paste into a thread there, but I can copy something on that page and paste it into that Microsoft thread in Firefox.

So I suppose. strictly speaking, this is a pasting problem.

Here's an example of a thread there link text

I've noticed recently that some Unicode characters are not rendering properly on some websites. Specifically the Unicode characters for Mathematical Bold Capitals, though there may be others. I've noticed this issue on Twitch and GitHub. Screenshots for the repository sainnhe/everforest are attached along with the Inspector. Notice the characters do not appear properly on the webpage but are rendered just fine in Inspector. I also attached the screenshot for Unicode Mathematical Bold Capital E.

I am running Firefox version 132.0 on macOS Sequoia 15.0.1. The problem remains in Troubleshoot Mode. The problem does not appear in Chrome or Safari. The problem does not appear on my iPhone or Android tablet.

In posts with similar issues I've seen the suggestion to toggle "Allow pages to choose their own fonts", the issue does not respond to changing this setting (it is on in all the screenshots).

The latest version of Firefox desktop has changed the "custom history" settings lumping forms and history with browsing history and downloads history. Before these were all separate options which was much more useful. How can I get the old menu back?

I don't want to just untick the higher menu "remember search and form history" as I want firefox to remember form and search history during a session - I often have firefox open for several hours at a time. But I do want to know when I close firefox that it will purge form history, but keep browsing and download history.

Firefox-132 fails to start GUI on Linux Fedora fc20.x86_64

duplicate of /questions/1472253 thread

Since Firefox version 100 the last argument for firefox-bin (last argument for its option -appDir) is `true 1 socket` whereas in previous versions Firefox 95 and earlier this was `true tab` In Linux Fedora fc20.x86_64 the version 95 and earlier work but starting from the version 100 Firefox fails to display GUI (there appears only empty window created by Gnome and titled Firefox). All the requiremnts concerning software versions have been satisfied. Therefore I suspect that this difference in the last argument may indicate the cause of this problem. Hence my question: Is it possible, without recompilation of Firefox (now 132), to provide this last argument as `true tab` instead of `true 1 socket` for option -appDir of firefox-bin ?

At the end of output from command, ps -flu username
all the options and parameters provided by the binary firefox to firefox-bin
are displayed eg.,
for Firefox-132:
/usr/local/lib64/firefox132/firefox-bin -contentproc -parentBuildID 20241021175835
-prefsLen 24975 -prefMapSize 253763 -appDir /usr/local/lib64/firefox132/browser
{1ac1038c-19a2-4a74-8e03-83da21315c92} 15183 true 1 socket
while for firefox-95:
/usr/local/lib64/firefox95/firefox-bin -contentproc -childID 1 -isForBrowser
 -prefsLen 1 -prefMapSize 240375 -jsInitLen 278884 -parentBuildID 20211218203254
 -appDir /usr/local/lib64/firefox95/browser 7726 true tab

I have already signaled this problem in relevance to Firefox-128; without solution.

Hi there, since yesterday I'm dealing with numerous functionality issues when I use Mozilla Firefox on my laptop. I've noticed that the last update was on 29/10/2024, so that could be the problem. The problem is that when I browse the tabs are crashing and that happens almost every time I browse after a few minutes (sometimes seconds) and it happens with many different web sites. Since mozilla is the browser that I use most this is making my life real difficult. Thank you in advance, Sotiris

Hi,

am running firefox 127.0.1 on a windows 11 desktop. Numerous sites that use a captcha to login fail. In other words, the captcha never loads and I cannot login to those sites. Such sites include teamfaderpro, Coursera, and bandcamp. All logins fail as the captcha is required to be passed prior to logging in, but the captcha never appears and so when I try to log in, nothing happens and I cannot login.

I have tried the above same sites on the Edge browser and have no such issue, the captcha shows and I can login.

Just FYI, the agent switcher setting change recommended by others previously is not suitable. When I tried that fix I was unable to access a considerable percentage of the internet due to some cloudflare issue, so the agent switcher setting is not an option. So far, I have tried all recommended settings to fix this issue and nothing has worked.

I am surprised no one else is having this issue.

Any help is appreciated, or at least inform google/mozilla about this issue as it has been ongoing (on and off) for me for many months. And yes, this problem is persistent for me at the moment, it remains despite rebooting windows, despite clearing cookies and cache (which I have set to automatically delete when exiting firefox).
