Hello,

I’m the developer of SnakeGame.Live , a browser-based multiplayer snake game with mouse steering on desktop.

I would like to understand the difference between Firefox’s F11 fullscreen mode and fullscreen activated through a website’s Fullscreen API.

For a mouse-controlled game, do these modes behave differently when the pointer reaches the top edge of the screen? Is there a recommended way to let players use fullscreen while keeping Firefox’s normal exit controls available?

I’m using Windows 10. I would appreciate guidance on the expected Firefox behavior and any relevant support documentation.

Thank you.

When I use Firefox, I use CTRL key combinations to cut, copy, paste, and delete. I also use F5 to refresh a webpage.

Firefox uses many, many other key combinations and hotkeys, and a great number of them have caused the instant erasure of all the hours of work I had done on a webpage: The browser jumps to another tab, or it goes fullscreen (one of the Function keys does this), or it opens a new window, or it opens a History window, or it does any number of things which I neither want nor need.

I require only to use the key combinations and hotkeys to perform the functions that I have listed, above. But if I must sacrifice them in an overall disable, then I will do so.

Please tell me how to disable the key combination commands and hotkeys in Firefox.

I have a local HTML/Javascript document I use for compressing local image files. It relies on HTMLCanvasElement.toBlob() to achieve the compression in the usual way; a pertinent excerpt:

                   const output = document.getElementById("outputDiv");
                   const blobURL = URL.createObjectURL(file);
                   const img = new Image();
                   img.src = blobURL;
                   // ...
                   img.onload = function () {
                       URL.revokeObjectURL(this.src);
                       const canvas = document.createElement("canvas");
                       canvas.width = img.width;
                       canvas.height = img.height;
                       const ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
                       ctx.drawImage(img, 0, 0, img.width, img.height);
                       canvas.toBlob(
                           (blob) => {
                               const anchor = document.createElement("a");
                               anchor.download = getNewFileName(file.name); /* uses extension .webm for .webm, .jpg for everything else */
                               anchor.href = URL.createObjectURL(blob);
                               anchor.textContent = "DOWNLOAD";
                               output.append(anchor);
                           },
                           mime,  /* set earlier based on file extension: .webm -> "image/webm", everything else -> "image/jpeg"
                           quality / 100    /* (user-specified) */
                       );
                   };

Here's the quirky thing, though: when I'm compressing, say, a .jpeg file (or a .png), clicking on the download link opens a save-file dialog, but when using a .webm file, it opens the compressed image in a new tab! True, I can always then save the image from there (the resulting file is in Firefox's temp folder), but I don't understand the difference in behavior -- and indeed, in at least one other browser I tried (the latest Vivaldi) the download happens as expected regardless of input file type. In all cases the anchor hrefs look like, e.g., "blob:null/724ab85e-53ba-4890-9868-7f1ba27d4278".

Any idea why this is happening? I highly doubt it's the intended behavior.

Browser: Firefox 132.0.2 for Windows. Environment: Windows 10 Home 22H2 version 10.0.19045.

Have way too many tabs open 20- 30. On tab 27. (near the right end of the tab bar) Move mouse to switch tabs. Before the preview thumbnail appears the tab bar scrolls to the left, selects a random tab and changes focus to that tab.

example. Have a bunch of tabs open looking for a new vacuum cleaner, makers web sites and views. Get a call from my mother-in law, problem with her computer. Have bunch of pages open, stackoverflow, reddit etc. Find a solution that looks similar to a page on a previous tab. Move mouse over a tab and before the preview thumbnail appears the tab bar scroll to the left changes focus to a vacuum cleans manufacture page.

Its not jumping to a duplicate of a page. I have no idea if its jumping back 10 tabs or 15 tabs. It never jumps to the first tab. I don't have my hands on the keyboard. Not touching the mouse scroll wheel.

Help!!!!

I had always been able to go to the Vidmax.com website. It now gives me the error: Server Not Found. I've gone through your support site and done clearing of history & cookies. I am unsure if it happened following an update, but I would suspect so. I am not tech savvy and unsure how to fix this. I clicked on the lock in the URL area and could see nothing that looked as if it was blocked. I am not sure how to fix this.

I love Firefox, I use it on all my devices. And daily I access facebook.com on this browser, it's been working flawlessly - until yesterday. Yesterday, using Firefox (ver 130.0.1) on my Windows 10 PC, I tried accessing a FB page which I visit sometimes: https://www.facebook.com/OpenOscillator

Rather than reaching that page, I got a white screen with this error message: "Sorry, something went wrong." And since then, even visiting the Facebook home page (or any other FB page) has the same error message.

Today I tried the same thing on my Mac (OS 14.3), using Firefox and logging into facebook.com, which worked as usual. But when I went to https://www.facebook.com/OpenOscillator, I got the same error message: "Sorry, something went wrong." And as happened on my PC, now on my Mac I can't access any FB page on Firefox.

And just to mention, I've rebooted both the PC and the Mac, yet this problem persists on both devices.

Trying this same exercise on Edge on my PC does not have this problem. Nor does it happen when doing this on Safari on my Mac.

So, this problem has only been happening on Firefox. I can no longer access facebook.com with Firefox. Do you guys have any ideas how to solve this?

Helpful to know: Do you have the same outcome if you visit this FB page: https://www.facebook.com/OpenOscillator

Thanks for your assistance! Steven
