Please create a new version of the browser app that supports the ability to use FileSystemAPI on directories, this is essential for working with a BeatBuddy project and SD cards that are saved on my computer using the online editor. Regards, Guy James

I have had a series fo problems over the last 2 months. All different, but on closer inspection, all connected to recaptcha and login security.

I have not been able to log into my wordpress admin website for 2 months. It just hangs with"Verifying you are not a robot". I can login using Chrome.

Now I have just taken out insurance for my car and have set up a login for my insurance portal - and can't login because "Recaptcha cannot determine that you are a human".

I have searched and found that there was a bug with recaptcha and firefox, but that this was fixed. In any case, this fix did not work for me.

Can anyone please tell me what I should do so that I can login to recaptcha sites?

Linux Mint (up to date) Firefox 130.0

For the love of God. Effective yesterday, why can I no longer open a new tab in Firefox browser on a Windows laptop? Is this a bug or was it an intentional update to delete the visible 'open a new browser' plus (+) icon, and make it elusive, frustrating, and impossible to open a new tab? I found a workaround (right click and select the new "New Tab to Right" option from the list of drop down options), but this circumvention is mindboggling and inefficient at best. Please help. One of the things I have loved about the Mozilla organization for the last nearly 20 years of using Firefox has been the organization's dedication to make internet browsing simple and safe for users. Replacing the 1 step 'open a new browser' plus (+) icon with a 3 step right click move is the opposite of simple. Please troubleshoot.

I run the latest version of Firefox.

Lately it refuses to open on first attempt - be it from a start menu link or double-clicking the shortcut on my desktop or trying to open a html file directly.

It's annoying and i'd like to fix it.

I've done all the usual stuff like clearing the cache.

tia.

I took a look today and I had 237 MB in cookies! This was after clearing the cache of all files. I've only had this (new) machine a couple months.

Short version: Sites have "cookies" from 200kb to as much as 34MB! For many of the sites over 3MB I have no account and have visited them only briefly.

To be clear, I don't care about the space being used. It's trivial. But what the heck is FFox storing and calling it "cookies"? Last I checked, a site was still limited to 4K size cookies and perhaps 50 per domain. So how are we getting to MB+ sized "cookies" per site? Again, the cache was cleared, so what's left aside from trivial cookie files of <4KB?

Desktop; Windows 11; Firefox 139.0.4 64 bit

This topic appears to show up a few times, but none of the solutions work for me (e.g. they were using A/V or "it just worked"). The error I get is also different.

This a pretty fresh install (migrating from Chrome so I'm currently re-logging into all my sites to ensure I can access everything I need.. and going through MFA hell heheheheh).

Everything is mostly fine, except for Synchrony Bank.

I go to login at https://auth.synchronybank.com/account/login, enter _any_ username or password (doesn't matter if I enter the right details or the wrong ones), and as soon as I click "sign in" I get an error page

Looking in developer console, the error reason given is NS_ERROR_NET_INTERRUPT while trying to POST to auth.synchronybank.com. Every so often I get PR_IO_TIMEOUT_ERROR but over 90% of the time it's NET_INTERRUPT.

This occurs also in private browsing and also in safe mode. I even created a new profile and tested it from there; same issue.

I've tried lots of things related to this (e.g. setting network.http.http3.enable to false), added the domain to the advanced tracking exception list, and I'm running out of ideas.

I can see traffic flowing to akamai but (it being https) I can't see what's inside the traffic. Could akamai be objecting to something in the content?

FWIW, I can login with Chrome on the same machine.

There a way to cast videos from my firefox desktop version to my chromecast?

I use a extension (fx_cast) but wihout sucess.

I need to use another browsers (chrome, chromium, edge) all theses works well.

Any solution?

as title says, what the [expletive] hell is this [expletive], why the [expletive] is it enabled by default and how the [expletive] hell do I get rid of this [expletive] [expletive]

When I go to view an already open tab it will sometimes randomly move it to the very end of my tabs all the way to the right. I don't want it to move tabs without my intervention. Clicking on a tab should keep it in place.

This has been an issue for about 2 months now. I'm not sure what's causing it or even if it's entirely a Firefox issue as I have noticed something similar happen in another program with tabs that I use often. It still seems like a Firefox issue in that moving a tab all the way to the end is a very specific task that can't normally be done accidentally.

Is there a way to prevent this from happening or has anyone figured it out?
