When I go to google.com/maps, I immediately see a map drawing of my location - then as the site *finishes* loading, the display area CLEARS, leaving the menu and various "hover" items from the site.

Just...no "roads". 🤣 Just a big vanilla background image.

Google maps works in another browser - the issue is just in Firefox.

Currently on Win 10, running under Parallels on a MacBook Pro. (Maps works great under the Mac OS as well!)

Thanks,

I had been using with several companies when I was working with their other companies. Now that I've completed most for my laptops, I've tried to cancel most of companies and avoid companies I that still try to seek more work.

You may have seen that I had a couple of laptops. There are two laptops, one that has a 10 top laptop and no more on the and the new laptop that has a 11 laptop.

I have been using [email1] @gmail.com and [email2] @gmail.com. I have been using both for some people. I can use only just to [email2[ @gmail.com. I always try to use only users I know. I also have protections I uses. My problem, I'm not familiar with Mozilla default for Firefox and your way the data and is safe in the one or two? I don't know how to handle the default. If I had the time to look the default I'd have to check, I would.

My brother has been having problems for several about two years. He was very smart and has been 11 years older than me. I've been helping him to a few trips to his home until his heart could not handle it.

Please help me to work your way.....Thanks.

Just lately, Firefox has been going on about Profiles, I don't know why. I have no need for such things, yet in my Windows menu, everything says "– Original profile" at the end. All this does is make things difficult to see. How can I get rid of it, please?

as the title suggests, i am now allowede to copy and paste at all anymore from the browser. and not only that, i am also unable to paste anything i have copied from the browser into another app. i am able to copy and paste from and to any other app, just not anything firefox related

i have checked about:config if anything with cut, copy, clipboard etc is set to true, and it was

i have refreshed firefox multiple times, which fixes it for 3 minutes and then im back to the same problem

i have uninstalled firefox, removed the local files, rebooted my pc, reinstalled firefox. and that didnt work

i stopped all addons, and i tried safe mode

i am at a loss what is going on with my firefox

also to add, i tried a firefox fork (librewolf) and from that i am able to copy and paste from and to the browser, which makes it even weirder

Why open about:home detect TCP connection (address is identical to shortcuts)

Steps to Reproduce: 1. Launch Firefox (and add Sites shortcuts) 2. Do not navigate to any website 3. Observe network activity using Process Monitor or clash verge Expecte… (funda kabanzi)

Steps to Reproduce: 1. Launch Firefox (and add Sites shortcuts) 2. Do not navigate to any website 3. Observe network activity using Process Monitor or clash verge

Expected Behavior: - Opening about:home should not establish TCP connections to remote sites unless the user interacts with them.

Actual Behavior: - TCP connections are observed immediately to sites listed in Top Sites shortcuts, even without user interaction.

Notes: - Disabling DNS prefetch, speculative preconnect, and predictor settings does not prevent these connections. - Extensions have been ruled out, I can distinguish darkreader.org(extention) mozilla.org(update) and reddit.com(your sponsor url) from *.edu.*(my shortcuts), DON'T mention that. - Connections occur before any page navigation or clicks. - I suspect that Firefox may attempt to load site icons (favicon / tile thumbnails), but this is unconfirmed.

The recovery key for Firefox I saved a year ago won't work today. The Mozilla record of my secondary email address is corrupted and won't display, but when I try to add it the error is that the email address already exists. But it doesn't exist anywhere in the online account record data available to me! I need to enter new email addresses for both my primary and secondary firefox accounts. I'm almost 85 and feel resentful regarding the befuddlement of self service tech support that wastes so many hours on uncertain guessing about tech stuff I don't understand or know where to turn for resolution.

My Bookmarks and History are completely gone. I tried the recommended procedure to restore them from a back-up, but the supposedly automatic back-up files are completely empty. I have no idea how this might have happened. I have tried disabling some of my anti-virus apps to no avail. The only thing I can think of is that I may inadvertantly erased them when I ran a CCleaner scan. I could really use some help here!
