The latest update has apparently forced its way into my desktop and now the icons on my home page bounce every time the cursor scrolls over them. This is indescribably annoying and distracting, like a fly landing on the screen over and over, and one of the reasons why I avoid avoid avoid any i-product forever eternally unto the death. How do I make the icons stop bouncing? Thanks P

Since the most recent update ( or maybe a slightly earlier one,) I am unable to use macros on my Sidewinder X4 programmable keyboard. I can program a macro to a key but it does not work in Firefox. All other programs such as Word, Notepad etc. are fine. I am wondering if something in an update has broken it. It also works OK in Chrome

Using mouse to click at start of material to copy (word, words, sentence, paragraph etc.) then holding mouse clicker down and drag across desired text to copy shows no effect. No color change. No shading. If I assume invisible highlight to copy (Command "C") then paste using Command "V". No paste.

Safari and Google Chrome highlight work well.

Firefox used to allow Highlight until recent update.

the web page will show a currently typing cursor, the little blinking line on typing stuff, if i misclick lets say on an amazon product page it will just appear. its like the code has changed to make every screen/tab/window/page a word document and i dont know how it happened, how to fix it and what all it even is so help would be massively appreciated, thank you. sorry about the typing and commas thigny idk what is called in english as english is no my first langwige

In Windows 10, FIREFOX is preventing the proper operation of the Windows 10 feature called MOUSE KEYS when FIREFOX is operating. MOUSE KEYS is a very important capability to individuals with certain disabilities.

MOUSE KEYS enables the use of the numbered keys on the NUMERIC KEYPAD to be used to move the cursor around when the NUM LOCK key is turned ON, as a substitute for using a mouse. Does Mozilla have a way to prevent FIREFOX from defeating this MOUSE KEYS feature?

Google AI indicated that there is a solution specifically for FIREFOX. That capability is built into FIREFOX and begins by using "about:config" to reset a parameter named "permissions.default.shortcuts" from either "0" or "1" to "2". I successfully implemented the steps in this solution by changing that value from its default value of "0" in my computer system, to "2", but no change resulted. MOUSE KEYS continued to malfunction in the same way.

After exhaustive testing looking for a pattern, I finally found one. The malfunction appears to be the following: With the MOUSE KEYS feature activated in the WINDOWS 10 set up, and with NUM LOCK turned ON to assure that this function is ON, each of the numeric keys, 0 through 9 on the keypad, cycles through the different MOUSE KEYS functions of all ten of these keys, in ascending order by their number. For example, if you press key 7 for ten times in a row, it will cycle through each of the ten MOUSE KEYS functions associated with the keys 0-9 to occur, returning on the tenth press to the function that was executed the first time that key 7 was pressed, and so one endlessly through multiple cycles. And similarly for each of the other ten numbered keys.

A similar type of malfunction of MOUSE KEYS occurs with any BROWSER program that I have tried, including GOOGLE CHROME and BRAVE. I gather from GOOGLE AI that browser programs INTERCEPT the codes generated by the numeric keys on the numeric key pad and change those codes before sending the codes to the WINDOWS 10 operating system, and thus to MOUSE KEYS, for execution, causing this problem.

Is there a solution for FIREFOX what will restore the proper function of the MOUSE KEYS feature of Windows 10, when FIREFOX is being used? Thank you for any help that you can provide.

I want to protect my desk top using Mozilla VPN, but, rarely connect my mobile phone to the net so would rather not have to scan a QR code nor download the app through google play store. Please tell me how to subscribe to and install Mozilla VPN using only a desk top.

When using any dark Firefox theme on ChromeOS, the contextual menu text and background are both dark. This means there is little to no contrast, and so the text is very difficult to read.

Unfortunately, the ChromeOS screenshot tool doesn't work on Linux apps, and so I'm unable to share a screenshot. Tested using several dark themes, including the default -- behaviour was consistent in all.

Firefox installed using the official package through the built-in ChromeOS Linux VM "crostini". Issue has been reported by other users on other platforms in the past, so this seems to be a long-standing bug.

Is it possible to access Settings>Accessibility>WebsiteContrast to quickly turn it on and off, by setting it as a bookmark (or quick access) rather than having to click settings and search for it each time?

Can you let me know if this is possible, or possibly add it in a future update if it is not?

I know that there are extensions that allow you to do this, but I am wary of using too many extensions because they can be a privacy vulnerability.

Hi;

I'm using a Protonmail alias. When I copy my Hide-my-alias address in Protonmail using the Copy icon, the popup says Alias copied to clipboard it doesn't paste. Not sure if this is a Proton or FF issue. Looks like it's mot being copied.

More info:

Using Firefox

I clicked on my new HideMyAddress alias address, clicked on my alias copy icon, says copied.

It won't paste into the address field of a new email. Clipboard History is enabled. I can paste any History entry but not the alias I copied using the copy link next to the alias link.

To copy it to clipboard, I have to :

Open all alias' Sign back into account Highlight the alias address, copy Then it will paste

Tested with Brave browser:

Logged into Proton.me Copied alias and pasted into new email To address, it works.

Thanks for any ideas.

When I open up my facebook page it loads but is blank. When I open my youtube channel it opens but when click video in opens I can see chat and can talk in chat, but the video doesn't play wheel keeps spinning. Have no problem on my phone or my tablet just Firefox. please send any questions to this email account since I can't access my mail [edited email from public community support forum]
