I-Firefox Isithangami Sokwesekwa

I use an online mail account. Recently when I write an email Firefox flags every word as misspelled. Firefox seems to be using a French dictionary thought I set English and Japanese as languages for Firefox to use. How can I correct this?

Hi there, I have a laptop with a fresh Debian install which includes Firefox ESR but I have encountered a bug that I cannot get past.

I guess to put it simply - I cannot browse to necessary areas of an extension that have a menu larger than my where my screen cuts off.. Please see this picture I have attached: https://imgur.com/OzMhWue

In this picture, there is options and buttons I need to select to proceed that are below where the screen cuts off. I have not found any way to shrink this, nor navigate to the missing area. Clicking the scroll icon only scrolls the background website but NOT the menus itself. I am encountering the problem with all major extensions including Lastpass and Metamask - so I assume this hopefully has a solution!

Hi, I've been having issues with Firefox for some time now. Every page I got to throws a NS_ERROR_NET_INADEQUATE_SECURITY error. I cannot fix it by setting network.http.spdy.enabled.http2 to false is because Firefox then starts crashing. In the past I've gone around the error by turning http2 off, but recently, first the developer edition, then after today's update to 91.0-0.1 of stable version Firefox crashes if I turn the feature off.

The developer Edition started throwing NS_ERROR_NET_INADEQUATE_SECURITY sometime in spring, then started crashing in June I think. The stable version followed soon as described above.

I am submitting this ticket from a beta version, which for some reason does not have this issue.

I thought it may be the Linux version of Eset, but removing it did not help. I cannot think of any other reason why am I getting those errors, but it seems I am alone because my colleagues don't seem to have this issue neither on macOS, nor Windows.

Hello, I'm using FF 68.12.00 ESR (Linux x64). Any page at addons.mozilla.org looks like the attached image. No visible text. Other pages look ok.

Version 92.0 (64 bit) Ubuntu: 18.04, 20.04

For a couple of months, I have not been able to resize the FF window. Consequently, I abandoned FF for Chrome. I've just upgraded my os to Ubuntu 20.04 (from 18.04) so I thought I'd try FF again. The problem persists.

Minimize/Maximize work fine, but when non-maximized, the resize "handles" don't show up (see attached image). I've tried safe-mode, as suggested by some previous post, but it hasn't helped.

Hello, Since yesterday (Sept, 28th 2021), I have the following message when trying to preview an attached document (PDF, in this case), accessing Hotmail using Firefox 92.0 (64-bit) in UBUNTU Linux:

"Something went wrong while the document preview was being created. Please try again later"

The same error also occurs using Firefox 92.0 (64 bit) in Windows 10, but does not occur using Chrome in UBUNTU and Chrome in Windows, as well as using Microsoft Edge. Can you help me please?

Thanks in advance. Manoel.

Hello,

I updated firefox and it's now hard to tell when one tab ends and another begins when you have multiple inactive tabs next to each other, which is a major annoyance.

The way to solve this would be to have the inactive tabs have a border around them like the active tab, have them have a different background color from the toolbar, or otherwise have some kind of separator between them. I saw another answer that gave a temporary solution, but the same answer said the solution was going to stop working in a future update. Is there a permanent solution?

Hey there,

for a while now we have problems loading our page https://risofort.press/ in firefox: the header will always load, the body of the main page and sub pages will infrequently load, and after having loaded once it will not reload for a long time (like, weeks). all of this works in other browsers. After contacting our host and trying some stuff like deactivating plugins to see if one them is causing it, I am realizing that perhaps it is the way our theme is loaded by firefox - a similiar issue was resolved here: https://support.mozilla.org/de/questions/1320526#answer-1381654

However I can't figure out what part of our website is the one that is keeping the main area to be loaded, or become visible, rather.

Any thoughts on this very welcome, thank you! Will also pass this question on to the theme authors.

Thanks in advance, L.

Okay, PopOS 21.04, Firefox 92.0 x64, my packages are up to date, my graphics card (Nvidia 1080) drivers are up to date (nvidia-driver-470 (proprietary)), kernal 5.13.0-7614-generic.

I run a variety of addons, but the only ones that should even be touching YouTube in any way would be Noscript, Ublock Origin, YouTube HD, HTTPS Everywhere. In the past with my current configuration none of these have given me any issues with playback.

I don't have any idea why, this is a problem I experienced a long time ago and now newly the other day for seemingly no good reason, videos on YouTube but also the web in general will not play until I open Firefox, close the browser, open it again, and then try and do whatever it was I'm trying to do. While not a fatal issue, this is one that is extremely annoying and I really don't feel like putting up with it.

Anyone have any advice or information?

Firefox leaves full-screen mode when window manager remaps window to be in a frame and re-sizable.

In the window-manager that I use (KDE plasma), I can ask the window-manager to exit full-screen mode, without telling the window. This allows me to tell a window to be in full-screen mode, while in a framed window. I have attached a screen-shot of chrome showing a youtube video. Both youtube and the chrome are in full screen mode, however the window manager has re-sized it and added decorations (title-bar&frame), and is allowing me to resize, move, minimize, maximize, etc.

This works for every program that I have used (that has a full-screen mode). However it is not working for Firefox. It seems that Firefox is triggering off of the wrong event.

My guess: the window-manager sets NET_WM_STATE_FULLSCREEN to enter full-screen, and would normally clear this attribute to exit full screen. When we exit full-screen, but stay in full-screen mode, the attribute is not cleared. However Firefox is triggering off of something else such as a re-size event.

Use-case: What I am trying to do

1. Enter full screen mode: browser hiders tab-bar, and address bar, maybe web-page changes layout (e.g. you-tube resizes video player to fill window)
2. Tell Window-manager to leave full-screen-mode, but not inform browser (or other app). Browser is now still hiding tab-bar, address-bar, site is till showing video in whole-window, but window can be moved and re-sized.

This works for every other app that I have user. (Some apps don't have full-screen-mode, so this does not apply to them. But it works for all that do have it.)

Firefox displays the ebay.co.uk website in some sort of text-only mode. It's unusable.

I've fixed this problem in the past by turning off the Enhanced Tracking Protection. It was ok for a while, but today it's broken again.

And ETP is off, but the site still doesn't work.

Fedora 33, Firefox all The web page wants permission to know my location and popups a yes/no box. I click on Yes expecting the box to do it's thing and go away. It doesn't, it remains and covers everything below it and locks the page.

And the problem is getting old ...

I am running Red Hat Linux Workstation with Gnome3. In Firefox i have an issue with watching video streaming and videos in general (Youtube, Webex, Company's livestream events). Video starts normally and after some time (up to 1 minute) - video just stops but audio continues. I already refreshed Firefox, did a cleanup of cookies but nothing changed. I also tried to disable hardware acceleration, also nothing changes. I tried different browser and it works perfectly in Chrome. Really want to have my Firefox to be only one browser I use so i would like to fix it.

Hello, I'm running Firefox 78 on fresh Debian Stable installation and I cannot access certain websites. I followed step-by-step the instructions by Mozilla Support found here, with no result. Of course, I tried completely uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox, renaming .mozilla folder to create a new settings folder, deleting .cache/mozilla etc. I use no proxy, and I can visit all those certain websites form other browsers of this installation. And I'm looking for a solution for more than 2 weeks now. Any help is welcome!

My problem,using Mint20.2-MATE, with FireFox92, is that FF92 shuts down whenever I minimize FF-i.e., totally down-does NOT appear in taskbar. I know I had the same problem years ago, and it was a simple fix. However, going through the "Help" sections in FF this time was no help. thank you for any suggestions.

Recently (on two machines) Firefox has been showing the 'Update Password' pop-up for saved log ins. If I ignore it all is well, but the password in the box is not the one originally saved. If I save it I can see a randomly generated password which is, obviously, invalid for that site. If I have multiple log-ins it gets very confusing as some users will hit save thinking 'that's ok' and others won't. If I disable 'ask to save log-ins' it doesn't populate the ones already saved. Currently my only option is to cancel the 'update' pop-up every time which is annoying and confusing. I've cleared the cache for several sites to no avail. Any thoughts?
