I'm trying to add the Dashlane extension to my laptop running Windows 10 or 11, and Firefox. But I cannot do this as my computer is in safe mode (troubleshoot mode?) How do I get out of this mode so I can add Dashlane extension. Thanks for your help;. Jonnie

I am interested in going to Windows 11, but I don't know what procedure to use to do that; all the info is confusing To me, the info makes it look like I need to buy another Computer, even though I have a perfectly good operating DELL Inspiron 1 that is not that old, 4 years old with a new hard drive.

Now that my browser is Firefox I cannot get to my email or anything else on my computer. What must I do??? At one point I was signing in to Mozilla Firefox and it said that account already exists. This is very frustrating for an older geriatric. Please send me instructions to get back where I was. My present email address is [edited from public] @gmail.com.

When I press a hotkey that involves Ctrl (ie. opening a new Tab via Ctrl+T or closing one via Ctrl+W) Ctrl sometimes remains stuck until I press it again. This will cause issues ie. when I open a new tab and try to type a new address (or search term), and Ctrl causes new hotkeys to be executed.

I've even tried launching firefox with a new profile, and on safe mode (firefox --safe-mode -p <something-else-than-usual>), so no bookmarks, cookies or extensions should be causing this, and it will still happen sometimes. The annoying part is that this seems to be an issue with performance. It happens less-often with the empty profile and safe mode, but it still happens, especially if I had just opened a new page some tab, causing the most minute thing for firefox to process.

The problem is probably not the computer specs either (below my specs). Indeed, from what I can tell, firefox does not even seem to function particularily slow in any case. Just this ctrl being stuck seems to happen.

I have also tried disabling hardware-acceleration (and explicitly enabling it), no effect.

Other interesting facts I've discovered: - This for sure does not happen in other programs and - This does not happen with the Ctrl for all the keybinds within firefox. For example, Ctrl+A (for select all) does not trigger this

From neofetch my setup is OS: Arch Linux x86_64 Host: MS-7C56 1.0 Kernel: 6.12.8-arch1-1 Uptime: 2 hours, 10 mins Packages: 2370 (pacman), 7 (flatpak) Shell: zsh 5.9 Resolution: 3840x2160 DE: labwc:wlroots WM: sway Terminal: alacritty CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5900X (24) @ 4.951GHz GPU: AMD ATI Radeon RX 7900 XT/7900 XTX/7900 GRE/7900M Memory: 5531MiB / 32015MiB

(I have no idea why it's reporting that I'm using Sway, I'm most certainly only using labwc, maybe labwc just reports sway for some programs for compatibility) I've installed firefox from pacman, and my current version is firefox 134.0.1-1

And finally firefox --full-version Mozilla Firefox 134.0.1 20250113214611 20250113214611

I'm not sure what else I could share at this point

I'm currently using FF 134.0.2 on a Mac running Sonoma 14.6.1. I'm unable to use the Find shortcut (⌘ + f), but I am able to use other shortcuts in Sheets: ⌘ + c, ⌘ + v, ⌘ + Option + m. That shortcut operates as expected on other sites, opening the Find pop-up at the bottom of the browser. It's not working within Sheets to search a spreadsheet or at the browser-level when on a Sheets tab.

Any idea why that one shortcut isn't working?

I've noticed that whenever I press ⌥⇧Space (option-shift-spacebar) in Firefox Developer Edition, it causes the page to refresh.

This behaviour seems to be consistent across devices.

Is there a way to change/disable this behaviour? It is very inconvenient, as it often causes me to accidentally trigger a page refresh when I type an em dash (`—`) in a text input (opt-shift-dash, and then type a space character after it, I'm very likely to hit opt-shift-space by mistake 🙈).

This does not work anymore and I get an edit drop down with copy, paste etc It works on Chrome and Safari. I checked the config for "browser.fixup.alternate.suffix" and it is set to .com.

When a tab is opened or moved into a new window (image 2.png), the additional windows will disappear from the Windows taskbar after a few moments (image 3.png) and cannot be accessed via Alt+Tab, the only way to reach that window is via dragging the windows around or with the Firefox View tab.

The keyboard shortcut L of "copy link" in right menu over a link is inconvenient for most right-handed people. I want it back to old keyboard shortcut A.

After new version 134 update, the shortcut L to A is not working again.

I posted 2 links in 2023 and 2021, but they are not working now. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1333526 https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1433785

Could you please fix this bug?

Thank you so much! Brian

Back in the days it was always possible to change Proxy port number (or, I believe, any other numeric value) by moving the mouse scrolling wheel when the cursor is placed inside the related field. I don't know whose intelligent decision it was to disable this functionality, but it has gone since the last update (v130.0). Now the window scrolls regardless of the cursor position. It looks like it works fine, but for those who are used to this kind of functionality, it turns out to be inconvenient.

Please, roll this back before it's too late :) Thank you.

I love FF and I appreciate the intentions behind the new update for quick/custom search engines in Firefox 140, but I can't help but notice that the new UI for custom search engines requires the user to manually click on various buttons and does not allow one to navigate the process via keyboard only. (Unless I'm missing something?) Prior to this UI update, I was able to fully navigate the drop-down and select my custom search engine of choice using only my arrow keys and enter key. Now, the "search with XYZ" button that pops up if you type the site name is only selectable if you click on it, and cannot be highlighted with the arrow keys.

I am not personally disabled in a way that prevents me from using my trackpad, but having to stop what I'm typing and go out of my way to click on various UI elements is a real stymie in terms of flow, ease of use, and efficiency. At least for me.

Is there some kind of secret key combo I can use? Or an about:config setting to enable keyboard navigation in custom searches? Is it a bug? Or simply the removal of a feature?

I hope I will be able to use my arrow keys to select my search engine again in the future— Thanks

I find the new split view feature to be great, however I do find some basic keyboard shortcuts missing.

Things like: Focusing the other view Closing a view Splitting

Would be great to have these basic ones.

Please 🙏 I am tired of the same thing nothing changes I will get control over my podcast and Cash app pay pal and they take it right back I truly know who's doing this where do I start
