I-Firefox Isithangami Sokwesekwa

Today, after browsing about whether or not I should continue using Firefox as my password manager, I decided to mitigate the most important security flaw in browser based password managers, by setting up a Primary Password. I choose to use an easy to remember 8 word long passphrase as my Primary Password. I noted down the passphrase in my diary. Due to problem while loading YouTube, I decided to restart Firefox by going to about:profiles and selecting "restart normally". This issue where Firefox starts to struggle connecting to internet is a relatively common occurrence on my Firefox install, and restarting Firefox fixes the issue. When Firefox restarted, I was prompted to enter the primary password. I confidently entered my passphrase, but it was rejected. I tried to typing to it more carefully several times. I got my diary and checked it to make sure I was entering the passphrase correctly. Following troubleshooting steps on a similar thread, I restarted firefox, no luck. I than rebooted my computer, issue persisted. I decided to restart Firefox with extensions disabled, and also in troubleshooting mode. Firefox still rejects my passphrase. I have my Firefox account synchronized with two Android phones. Will reinstalling Firefox and syncing with my Firefox account solve the problem? In a similar troubleshooting thread, renaming key4.db and logins.json is suggested. However, it has not been explained very clearly. My logins.json file was modified an hour before disaster, even though I had made no changes to any of my logins or the master password. Is my logins.json corrupted causing the issue? I will like to point out a design flaw in Firefox which might have caused the issue. I usually want to see what I am typing when I am entering an encryption password. This is to make sure that I don't mistype something. However, in Firefox Primary Password configuration window, there is not option to see what you are typing. Firefox relies on low probability of typing the wrong password twice. I don't think devs should be so worried about shoulder attacks to not even allow users option to view what they typing. My case might be that low probability situation where I made the same mistake while typing the passphrase twice.

I'm getting popup notifications from customer-service25.higherincomejobs.com and jobsflag.com, even though I've gone to those sites and unsubscribed. Is this a virus? Is there a way to get the popups to stop?

I'm attaching a screenshot showing one of the notifications in the lower left corner of my screen.

Any help would be appreciated.

Firefox Developer Edition - Developer Console is killing my productivity. It started opening in Full screen mode about a week ago and will not exit full screen. I have to F12 and exit developer console. This is a major issue because, I work with the console not docked. Docking blocks my productivity. F11 only puts it into some very weird outline mode where all I see is a rectangular grey outline on my full screen. If I click on it, it repaints the console in full screen. There is no option to drag and expand or contract. Nothing. Nada. Please help. This is my primary browser, er -was my primary browser. I'll continue to work around it until my patience is completely exhausted. Almost there now.

Sorry about the terrible markup on the screenshot. It's hard to encircle a big gray full screen empty frame. Thank you.

Since Firefox 109 and 110 also you can not login to hidive.com. It just loads a blank page(empty source) but not logged in. Firefox Developer Edition does work. 110 and 111. Tested on both linux and windows without extensions and tested with tracking prevention turned off. I reported this after 109, but I could not find the report.

Yesterday, my scrollwheel stopped working on my mouse in Firefox. The mouse moves the cursor fine everywhere, including Firefox, but the scrollwheel only works in other browsers/programs.

Does anyone know how I an shift the icons for the add-ons back towards the left? As for some unknown reason, they have magically appeared towards the middle.

I have attached an image and the problem is highlighted in red.

I just installed a fresh copy of Windows 11 and last Firefox, and get some weird rendering of letters on some websites. It seems that the end of a letter is bolded so to speak (screenshot attached). Also, there is an unnatural widening between the lines of text on the same websites (screenshot attached). This does not appear on other browsers. What can I do to correct it?

It only happens in Firefox. I can't open any website on Firefox , even google.com . However, the following link is what opens instead : "http://www1.cdnsure.com/?tm=1&subid4=1677529420.0141530000&KW1=Google%20Cloud%20CDN&KW2=CDN%20Solutions&KW3=CDN%20Video%20Provider&searchbox=0&domainname=0&backfill=0"

idk what's that "www1.cdnsure.com" website .

When playing any youtube video in full screen, all I get is a black screen. Issue does not appear in private mode, firefox developer build or chrome. Other sites ex. go pro media plays videos in full screen without any problems

Help? I rebooted my machine and lost all my open tabs. any attempt to re-acquire them shows just the ones I have open now. It doesn't show any of the ones that were lost. Thanks Monica

I really often need to copy/paste from a terminal opened in my browser. Because the shortcut for copying in a terminal is always Ctrl+Shift+C, it's a mess to have instead Firefox opening Inspector from devtools.

How can I disable this shortcut ?

I've tried to update some about:config settings but it doesn't seem to be helpful and old working correctives add-ons are not supported anymore.

my scroll wheel stopped working on firefox, so i launched in safe mode and my scroll wheel was perfectly fine so i disabled all of my addons but it still doesn't work

I've been getting funny glyphs on my google engine searches. See png. Turning off add ons and reinstalling software doesn't seem to clear the issue.

The funny text when copied and pasted is revealed to be the actual text it was supposed to be.

This is very very weird... and its only on firefox, no issue for chrome or safari. Happened just a few days ago. Don't remember installing anything. Could be malfare from a font site?

After a recent reinstall Firefox seems to have a problem. This seems to be only Firefox specific and I can't find a working solution online after googling.

Youtube videos work, although they do give errors sometimes. A refresh always fixes those. However Twitch/Youtube live streams do not, and display a generic error message. When trying other browsers the live streams work fine.

And old Bugzilla post (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1467495) describes what I believe to be a possible reason for the problem, however following the solutions in that thread have not yet lead to a solution.

Any further insight or solutions would be appreciated.

Since installing Firefox 110.0.1 on Windows 10 machine, my search bar is only about 1" wide. When I enter Troubleshoot Mode, the search bar is normal. So, I disabled every extension and am now using the built in Firefox Theme. I even went so far as to remove my chrome folder from the profile but the problem still persists. What can I do to correct this?

Thank you, Reynaldo
