I had to reset my firefox password. When signing in, the account is not synced (no extensions, history, bookmarks etc) and acts like it is the fresh instance. When manually syncing, it spins for a second then stops. Says it last synced 1 second ago. I see no data otherwise. Does resetting password seriously remove all data? What is the point of recovering the account if it gives you a fresh account anyway? There was a disclosure that mentioned some data, but not even including bookmarks or extensions is a little upsetting for me. Disrupted my work day quite a lot.

POST Fetch with timeout in URL Loops Requests 10 times

Scenario: I am running a node.js UI that proxies requests to the backend API. When `timeout=10` (or any valid timeout) is located in the request URL, the request will be proxied at the timeout interval ten times. In this example, every ten seconds it will reattempt for ten attempts.

If I run the same code in another browser's console, it is only executed once.

I am suspecting that there is some pre-parsing of the URL that is occurring that is making this happen.

Fetch Command: ``` await fetch("http://localhost:8080/config?timeout=10", {

   "credentials": "omit",
   "headers": {
       "User-Agent": "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:132.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/132.0",
       "Accept": "application/json",
       "Accept-Language": "en-US,en;q=0.5",
       "Content-Type": "application/json",
       "Sec-Fetch-Dest": "empty",
       "Sec-Fetch-Mode": "cors",
       "Sec-Fetch-Site": "same-origin",
       "Priority": "u=0",

"Timeout": 40

   },
   "referrer": "http://localhost:8080/swagger/index.html?config=/config/swagger",
   "method": "POST",
   "mode": "cors"

}); ```

In the POST API, there is a 30 second sleep, then it raises a 408 error code.

Environment: Firefox 132.0.2 (64-bit) Windows 10

Hi,

I have problems signing into my Strava account on laptop since last FF update. If the strava logon fields are populated from the password manager then it says user name and password don't match. If I delete password from FF password manager refresh and type in the details it lets me in. If I then save the password it won't, and I have to delete it from password manager again. Everything worked fine as usual yesterday. Is this a fault with the update?

Thanks Tim P

I have read elsewhere here in the Support Forum that "browser.shopping.experience2023 prefs" in about:config allow for the disabling of Firefox Review Checker. Alas, there are quite a few of them there! What specific preferences -- and what specific values thereof -- are required to disable the Review Checker in FF 133.0?

I will add that it would be terrific if one could accomplish the same goal via FF Settings.

Firefox flashes a white screen when loading a new page. This is a known issue. Is there a way to make it stop?

I see numerous people looking for answers (on mozilla, on stackoverflow, on superuser, on reddit, and on mozillazine), and I see no answers that work.

Is there a solution that works?

Does anyone know why Mozilla programs this in? (Is there a way to ask Mozilla directly?)

Firefox has been the only browser for me over the years, allowing customizations that free me from the frustrations of Chrome, Safari, et al. But why this flashbang, as kartana put it on reddit?

When I access chat.google.com and attempt to play a video that is uploaded to chat, it will not play. The built in player opens with a red play button but clicked it does nothing. These videos used to work up until sometime earlier this year. Most of the videos are uploads from someone's phone and they appear to be mp4. I've tried private windows, removing firefox along with all program data and profiles and starting with a clean slate with no luck. Other browsers play the videos fine, just not firefox. Attempting to play videos that used to work no longer work. Suggestions?

Hi,

The newest Firefox has an issue with properly parsing the javascript links in the ACS research journal articles. In these research articles, citations are clickable numbers in parenthesis. Clicking on them leads to a pop-up frame that gives detailed reference article information.

However, with the latest version of Firefox these citation links will only respond properly to the first click ever on the page. After you close the pop-up frame, any subsequent clicks on any of these links will have no response.

I attach an example article below. This bug has been repeated under Trouble Shoot Mode and I do not encounter the same issue with Chrome brower. https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jacsau.2c00048

It certainly appears they have, with the left and right padding growing wider. In fact, they both look about twice the size of the top and bottom padding, whereas before I remember them as being about equal. The change was immediately apparent with my home page!

Any particular reason for this?

Hi, I want to know how to stop word prediction in text input boxes. I can't see the word I am typing with it in the way. I do my own spell checking and seeing the word I'm typing is required. I don't use any word prediction suggestions anyway. I am not so lazy or incompetent that I don't actually use my keyboard for typing and I absolutely have to see what I'm typing as I am doing so. I've looked all through the settings in Firefox settings and did a search to see if it was something Windows related and also did a search here which only came up with 1 result which was unrelated. Thanks for any help on this.

Recently many sites have (for reasons I cannot fathom) introduced a pre-login form: ie a form that requires a username to be entered before an password text box is provided. This seems to be a trend and it is incredibly annoying.

The issue I have is that FF does not recognise the page/form as a login page and therefore does not provide a list of usernames for the domain in question.

Any advice or help would be very much appreciated.

What can I do to have Firefox be compatible with my emails. When I open an email for the local newspaper, the news paper is distorted and enlarged 200% and asks me to sign in. Everything was fine until the most recent Firefox update.

I want to remove the recent update which results in Firefox and some of my email links to be incompatible. The newspaper link works on Safari but I do most of my activity on Firefox.

Also, the email link works fine on Google Chrome. But I hate Google Chrome and don't want to use it. I would prefer that the Firefox browser be compatible with sites such as my local newspaper.
