I have my Settings-Autoplay set to block audio and video. The above 2 entries have somehow been added recently. I remove them and hit save, but when I open the setting again, they are still there.

I have searched online and Firefox and have not found anything about them. Are they a problem?

Thank you.

So, today i installed the latest update to firefox (at least that's when i was notified). I installed it. Then for some reason i got notified it's not the latest version and installed another through about -> help. I usually keep it up to date so not sure why 2 installs in same day. In any case, i am now on 116.0.1 64 bit. And that completely broke my browsing and firefox.

Some of the issues im experiencing. 1. Google search is not "working". I type something into the search bar, and when i press "enter" on the keyboard, it just moves to next line and i can type again. This however was not happening before. It works normally on chrome/edge and only started happening on this release. 2. Almost anything "interactive" is broken, or not functioning. For example, my chess.com settings cant be loaded no more. Loads it fine in other browsers. 3. Youtube is not functioning properly. Sometimes it loads, sometime it doesn't 4. Some pages aren't rendering properly.

It's as if javascript or some other thing is not loading anymore. I tried moving back to older versions, however, that did not fix anything. Everything was fine untill i upgraded today.

Hi When I visit this webpage: https://www.locusmap.app/ I have some problems with the fonts

I have enable this setting: Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of your selections above

The problem i illustrated in the attached screenshot

It works without problems in Edge and Chrome

Since uploading the latest update today many of my webpages no longer appear properly. I have given you an example of one which has the URL of https://www.newsnow.co.uk/h/Sport/Football/Premier+League/Tottenham+Hotspur?type=ts You can see from the screenshot image that is added to this message what I mean. This is happening on quite a few websites now. Can you please advise a remedy or address the problem ?

‘When are you going to fix the key logger problem? This problem has gotten worse with every one of your recent upgrades.’ The last upgrade a couple of days ago made it permanent. I had to turn off my key logger protection to get past this problem.

I got the notification that there was an update available...clicked on about Firefox and it is trying to download a new browser at 90mb...why is this and how do I get it to stop???

I have realized I am flooded by alien bookmarks coming into the browser. I have never used any sync options and I made my account within the browser on this very day. I am not using firefox on any other devices and I am 100% sure these are not my bookmarks, they have 0 visits and they appear to be added at one moment. It appears that someone else's bookmarks had been loaded into my collection. I don't know where to look for the source and the Sync option only shows one connected device.

I added 2 Screenshots, one from Firefox and one from Edge. Link is the following: https://logic-masters.de/Raetselportal/Suche/erweitert.php?start=0&suchdif=2&suchverhalt=nichtgeloest&label_plus=Sudoku&dauer=on

Before i got my Laptop, the Link color was normal blue, it just appeared like that on my new one. At first i thoguht, i just have wrong settings. But on most other Websites ist blue like it should. Then i thought the Website changed something. But in the Developer Tools those links dont have any CSS added to them for the color. Then i switched Browser to Edge and everything is normal there too.

So whats the Problem?

When ever i type in firefox no matter what key i strike firefox inputs the next letter from a rotating key set. Key strokes are as follow: 1234567890-=qwertyuiop[]asdfghjkl;'`\zxcvbnm,./-+\ that is all from hitting one key over and over I have uninstalled and reinstalled firefox, reset firefox attempted every keyboard shortcut i could find on the internet nothing helps. I have removed all extensions used and turn off anti-keylogger and still this problem persist. What am i missing?

Hi,

In some websites, a cookies menu opens over the page but not as a popup eg https://www.elexon.co.uk/knowledgebase/about-the-bsc/

In Chrome, I can see the menu and make the relevant cookies choice and then access the site, but in firefox the whole page is effectively greyed out. As it isn't a popup I can't whitelist the site for popups (well I can but it doesn't change anything).

Any ideas how I can make this work without having to use the site in a different browser?

Thanks

I'm developing a PWA website that relies heavily on the sqlite.org wasm libraries and origin private file system (OPFS). On firefox-dev 116.0b8 my website at app.kumaflash.com stopped being able to read the database it had been successfully using for months prior to that. I've also asked on the sqlite.org forum here: https://sqlite.org/forum/forumpost/3bb8b83c45 but haven't found any solutions yet.

You can see a thrown together video of the app working normally here: youtube.com/@kumaflash

and the error I receive is: OPFS syncer: xRead() async error: GetSyncHandleError: Error getting sync handle for xRead(). 6 attempts failed. kumaflash.db : NotFoundError: Entry not found

If I manually open the OPFS in the console I can see that the file is there with this helper function in my app: var p = await _app.xdcards._lsOriginPrivateFSDir("/"); //that's an L for list ListOriginPri...

Additionally I can't debug because the firefox debugger crashes whenever I try to inspect my app. The debugger crashes on firefox-dev and release versions on every computer I've tried (with this app only). The chromium debugger works but the error doesn't happen there.

Any ideas on what I should try?

Over the last couple of weeks the Firefox Browser will not load the tab page (e.g. Washington Post, New York times) and says it cannot find the web site. I tried troubleshooting mode and then resorted to refresh which only made it worse. It got to the point where the browser wouldn't even open the mozilla.org page correctly.

I finally turned my internet security service off and the browser began to work better, but getting my tab page to open sometimes comes up with a "we cannot find the site" and a "try again" button which never works.

I tried using Safari to go to the same web sites with no problems.

My wife uses Firefox on her I pad and her tablet and says firefox browser is giving her problems.

I have Firefox 116.02 (the browser also seemed to have problems updating and I was getting Firefox failed to update messages.

Has Firefox done something to make the browser unstable on Apple OS systems?

trying to get our emails through our firefox email account failed saying "not able to get a secure connection" This has never happened before on our home computer. What has gone wrong?

There is no option to import passwords via csv in the import data that your "find help" suggests. Only importing from another browser. I thought you "Upgraded" this in version 116. What is going on with Mozilla? I see people have been complaining since 2021. As usual I will have to "improvise" due to lack of support. by improvise I mean downloading another "competent" web browser capable of importing from csv just so i can use it to import to firefox. YOU can figure that out but not from the same frickin file as every other browser. Pathetic! /
