It was nice when FF was simple to use....unimcumbered with all the options...like the latest...profiles.

Why? It's getting to be as complicated as E and C..you don't need all those options - that's why I use FF.

Get rid, or allow the user, to pick and choose, and dump the unwanted stuff from cluttering the tool bar and other options. Just a suggestion that can be made to FF any longer. Use to be they'd welcome feedback.

Ctrl + scroll used to zoom exactly 10% (in or out) now with 1 scroll, the page gets zoomed in at least 30% but it's not consistent. right now, I tried CTRL+scroll up and the zoom went up to %133. I'd appreciate your assistance.

ps, IDK if it's related but I just updated Firefox to version 150.0

Thank you

Harmful auto-format feature: Firefox hijacks typing to force weird numbered lists in WhatsApp & AI chats

Hello,

I am dealing with a quite frustrating issue, and I literally cannot do anything to stop it from ruining my messages.

Whenever I manually type in WhatsApp Web or AI chats (like ChatGPT or Claude), Firefox completely hijacks my text box. As soon as I start a line by typing "1", a period, and a single space ("1. "), the browser forces my text into an auto-formatted numbered list.

This isn't just unhelpful; I see it as a genuinely harmful feature. The formatting it forces on me is weird and broken—it frequently adds massive, irrelevant paragraph gaps between list items, completely messing everything up.

I am completely stuck because standard fixes do not work:

If I press Ctrl + Z to undo the auto-formatting, it also deletes the space I typed.

I am not pasting anything; this happens the millisecond I type the spacebar from scratch.

It feels awful to have my manual typing hijacked like this. Users should be able to type a simple number and a period without the browser transforming it into a broken HTML list.

Is there an about:config setting or any way to completely disable this auto-formatting feature so I can just type normally again?

Thank you.

I have been with Firefox for over 20 years. The main reason is that it has always performed exactly the way I wanted it to. Just now I got a notification in windows that "Firefox is now configured to startup when you log in" WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU THINKING??? This is EXACTLY why I have used Firefox for so many years BECAUSE IT DID NOT RUN IN THE BACKGROUND CONSTANTLY!!!!! When I close something I want it OFF completely. I use a key manager and sign in and out as I need to and the LAST thing I want from a browser is it constantly running. I am an IT and systems manager and my primary reason for owning a PC is audio and video production. Background services cause issues with high performance real time audio systems which is exactly why I run windows server 2022 on all my workstations. This is also one of the biggest issues with Windows 11. Edge is one of the first things that I remove from an operating system for that same exact reason, and is also the reason I dumped Chrome nearly 2 decades ago. The recent changes I have been seeing with Firefox have been tolerable but this breaks that. I surely hope that is not the future or I will be searching for a new browser to use, even if it has to be a portable. I just want to know WHY?
