I-Firefox Isithangami Sokwesekwa

Hi Folks,

"Block pop-up windows" is enabled in Firefox, but I still get popups from www.smh.com.au Maybe you have time to investigate - a different type of popup needs blocking.

Sample page https://www.smh.com.au/politics/federal/inflation-tipped-to-fall-while-rent-costs-to-buck-trend-with-15-year-high-20230721-p5dqbj.html

Thanks

Firefox 115.3.0 esr has a border between the tabbar and the urlbar, how to I remove it? I have tried border: none !important; in several locations in userChrome.css that I used for FF 102 esr and the border was removed.

Dear friends at mozilla.org,

Thank you for your excellent web browser, which I've used for decades.

Can you suggest how I might compile the source code for firefox?

I'm an M.I.T. graduate who has been programming computers for half a century.

I have untgzed the file, from your web site, firefox-115.0esr.source.tar.xz .

/--- The build fails with the message ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '_sqlite3' \---

To try to fix this problem, I've installed:

db5.3-sql-util dbconfig-sqlite3 libsqlite3-dev libvsqlitepp-dev libvsqlitepp-doc node-sqlite3 php-sqlite3 python3-bottle-sqlite python3-database python3-minidb python3-minidb python3-persist-queue python3-sqlitedict python3-sqlitedict python3-sqlitedict pythone-utils ruby-sqlite3 sqlite3 sqlite3-tools sqlite-utils

The compilation of firefox still fails with the same error message. Can you recommend what I might install, in order to make it possible for me to compile the firefox source code?

I'm using

   gcc 12.2.0
   perl 5.36.0
   python 3.11.4
  GNU make 4.3

I'd be pleased to help you in making available documentation that would help others to compile firefox.

I invite anyone to email me or to telephone me about this.

Thank you kindly for any suggestions.

Very truly yours,

Firefox makes an extra blank page when I click on any link the first time after opening the browser. It does not make an extra page with subsequent clicks on links. What is the fix for this?

I visit antiwar.com, read an article, read comments, then try to give a thumbs up on a comment I agree with. I click on the Disqus box to log in, but the vote count doesn't go up. I've already tried setting NoScript to allow everything on that site, but nothing changes. I've already tried uninstalling Firefox then reinstalling it on my Debian based Linux computer, but the settings are remembered. I have also tried to refresh Firefox like this page says: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/refresh-firefox-reset-add-ons-and-settings But the instructions are apparently for an older version of the browser because step number 1: Click the menu button Fx89menuButton, click Help and select More Troubleshooting Information. does not lead to what is shown on step 2. No "Refresh Firefox" boxes appear.

Is there some setting I need to change in about-config?

Firefox 115.3.1esr is not compatible w/ Windows 10 3 toolbars take up 1/2 screen as it appears to size icons to desktop icons Zooming out makes fonts unreadable as FF zooms in and out unpredictably as I browse I restored W10 3x as it kept reinstalling until I found the right file to delete I will try update when I get news that toolbar sizes and auto-zoom are adjustable

I live in the mountains and the end of 3G with no infrastructure for LTE/5G means I have to drive a few hours to internet/cell phone signal 3x a week. So I need my computer and phone to work and not have these display problems!

Thank you.
