Hello, I am using an AutoConfig setup to specify proxy settings for the browser. I can see that the AutoConfig file is being read and the proxy settings are being set. However they don't appear to be applied to the browsing session. I can get them to apply by going to settings, searching for proxy, clicking the network settings, then clicking OK (without modifying any of the settings) The proxy then works. My question is: why do I, as a user, have to interact with the proxy settings for them to be used even though they are set? I am running Firefox ESR 102.9 on Rocky Linux 8.7

Thank you Matt

When I copy paste stuff, and who knows when, I see a bunch of word suggestions at the top of the right click context menu, with an option to enter them into a dictionary, whatever and wherever that is. I see nothing at all in the settings corresponding to this, and just want to completely disable that BS: It's just garbage in the way of me doing my tasks. How do I disable this, and/or the entire spell checker and dictionary, etc. if necessary? I know how to spell. Don't need it. Thanks.

It is about the side of the tab section in the browser.

After a mistaken forced restart (inadvertent pressure on the shutdown/start key), one of the 3 windows I had open is invisible. It shows in the 'Windows" menu as one of 3 but when I select it - nothing. It does not show as a recently closed window in History. I have restarted Firefox multiple times, including deleting the xulstore.json file then restarting (a fix from another similar thread).

How can I restore this inaccessible window?

Thanks

I've only just recently had this issue: If I'm not already in full screen mode on my MacBook Air (Ventura 13.3.1), then I can enter and exist YouTube's full screen mode just fine. But if I'm already in full screen mode with the browser, then after going full screen with a YouTube video I can't exit. I can exit the full screen window, but then the video stays in full screen with no menu bar available etc. Instead I have to close Firefox and open again. See the attached image - I can change the size of the window but only the video screen appears. I can still use shortcuts (ctrl+tab) to navigate tabs etc.

I've tried following both methods for dissabling the mute button on tabs, it's a slight annoyance, since it's easy to accidentally mute a tab when it's pinned.

Specifically, the first method I've tried changing the setting in about:config called "browser.tabs.showAudioPlayingIcon" from true to false, which was from 7 years ago it seems, which had no effect.

The second method was by making a new rule in a "userChrome.css" file in a new folder called "chrome" with that exact naming, case sensitive. The code in that file is as follows:

/* Hide the mute/unmute button */
.tab-icon-overlay:not([pinned], [sharing], [crashed]):is([soundplaying], [muted]) {
    display: none !important;
}
/* Keep site icon visible on hover */
.tabbrowser-tab:hover .tab-icon-stack:not([pinned], [sharing], [crashed]):is([soundplaying], [muted]) > :not(.tab-icon-overlay), 
     /* for site icon with Compact density */
:root[uidensity="compact"] .tab-icon-stack:not([pinned], [sharing], [crashed]):is([soundplaying], [muted]) > :not(.tab-icon-overlay) {
    opacity: 1 !important; /* overrides full transparency with full opacity */
}

If there's an updated version of the code that's meant to have that effect in modern firefox, then please let me know, or if there's some other new way of removing the mute button on tabs. Thanks.

We use Atlassian Confluence for our company wiki, in which I have a number of pages that contain macros for excerpts.

For a long time these displayed perfectly fine, but in recent months, each of these macros now displays with it's own scrollbar, making the pages very awkward to use. I have attached screenshots showing a page with 2 of these blocks, and one where I have overridden one line of css which temporarily fixes it.

I am always running the latest version of FireFox, and I don't have any custom display settings that I know of. I tested this in Chrome, and the issue doesn't happen there. I have had long conversations with Atlassian, and they say it's a FFox issue, not theirs. Some of their responses were: - the same code renders the content on browsers and the JS adapts to the platform. - I have the same element in the CSS but the element is directed to an event in my browser and to a Scroll in yours.

Any help on how this can be resolved is greatly appreciated.
