I've got a question/suggestion about Picture in Picture feature. Why "Close" button works the same as "Back to Tab"?

Scenario: Close the Picture in Picture video by clicking on the [X] button or Cmd+W shortcut.

Actual result: Picture in Picture closes and Firefox window opens, on the tab containing the video. This is very strange behaviour. If I close the video, I don't want to watch it now. Essentially "Close" button works exactly like "Back to Tab" button - so what's the point? If I wanted to switch to the tab - I would click on "Back to tab".

Expected result: I expect Picture in Picture video to close and nothing else to happen. Don't open the window/tab containing the video.

Thanks

LINUX. see subject, please. i started on this laptop w/ mint. 5 or 6 years ago. then downloaded peppermint 1 and has been working great, but the browser does not update automatically like is said. Then, my Linux guy up and passed away. I know no one in town that uses it. I'M ON LINUX. any help appreciated. have gotten some replies with folk trying to help, but it just wants to download/install whole program. my bank wants me to upgrade to at least 115. can't access accts. Chase are useless. They don't know what Linux is. Perhaps someone here can point me in right direction? Regards. God bless.

I'm using FireFox 129 64bit on Windows 10. I have Google set as my default search engine.

Lately, when I type search criteria into the address bar and press Enter, nothing happens. And if I then try to navigate to google.com at that time, it just doesn't load at all. This doesn't happen every time, but it has been happening often enough to be annoying. So I just load up Yahoo instead to conduct my search.

No other site has this problem.

Is this a problem with google.com itself, or with Firefox's handling of it?

Hi i have script

<script>

       (() => {
           const script = document.createElement("script");
           script.setAttribute("type", "text/javascript");
           script.src = "https://js.hsforms.net/forms/embed/v2.js";

           script.addEventListener("load", () => {
               hbspt.forms.create({
                   region: "na1",
                   portalId: "39672158",
                   formId: "892e2f84-627a-4c41-8f9e-642cb468a70c",
               });
           });

           document.head.append(script);
       })();
   </script>

I have contact the script provider team and it says that

For transparency, I'm going to relay what was shared in an internal inquiry:

Because it's an external feature of Firefox that is designed to disable exactly this kind of content (external tracking and forms), there isn't much we can do.

In Mozilla's docs they explicitly call out forms as one of the types of content this is designed to block which specifically mentions a few forms areas here.

Many websites load external ads, videos and other content with tracking code from other companies. For example, a website may embed a video from a video platform. The code that loads the video contains trackers. Blocking tracking content can make sites load much faster, but parts of pages might not work correctly or appear at all.

Tracking content can include:

Ads

Login fields

Forms

Payments

Comments

Videos and photos

Buttons

I can see this happening in the Private mode but can you see on your end, if following the settings in Firefox's documentation to disable this for all windows does the form appear in non-private mode? Hmm even after setting to custom and unchecking all the boxes the form script still doesn't load.

I added https://www.psbspeakers.com as an exception too but it doesn't appear to do the trick.

As far as this goes since this is something implemented by Firefox we're not able to overrule this on our end

so now what should i do

When I hover over tabs, Firefox also displays a text below. So, for example, if I hover over the tab for Google Calendar, a text below shows 'Google Calender - August 2024'. Can I disable the text somehow?

I'm using Firefox Firefox 129.01.

Basically i was on instagram and i couldnt save the webpage of the suggestion profiles on someones profile so i decided instead to copy each of the suggestion profiles and paste them into gmail where i sent the email to my self, opened it in a new tab and saved the webpage as an htm file but now the image links attached to the urls and the plain text are broken making it impossible to view the images tide to each url any help of how to fix the broken images would be much help

Following the guide:

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-firefox-linux#w_install-firefox-deb-package-for-debian-based-distributions

I am getting E: Failed to fetch https://packages.mozilla.org/apt/dists/stable/InRelease 403 Forbidden [IP: 34.160.78.70 80]

Even visiting the URL in a browser produces:

Unauthenticated request. Unauthenticated requests do not have permission "artifactregistry.repositories.downloadArtifacts" on resource "projects/moz-fx-productdelivery-pr-38b5/locations/us/repositories/stable" (or it may not exist)

I'm on a Macbook Air, Sonoma 14.5. Since the most recent Firefox updates (129.01 and 129.02), a translucent rectangle has appeared on some web pages that I access. I can see through it, but I cannot click on anything, or select text, in areas covered by the rectangle. It doesn't always appear immediately, it may take a minute or so of scrolling before it shows up. If I restart Firefox in Troubleshoot mode, the rectangle goes away. But when I restart normally, it comes back. If I turn all extensions off (I don't use very many), the problem goes away. If I turn Ghostery back on, it comes back.

I've turned off Ghostery for now. So my questions are: (1) Does the latest Firefox just not work and play well with Ghostery? (2) Is that floating rectangle likely to be a sign of something bad, or just an annoyance?

Many thanks for any clues!

I use Mozilla on two things, my laptop and my android cell phone. The syncing on my cell phone appears to work perfectly well. However, when I am on my laptop, I am unable to view my "Tabs from Other Devices" - It will show me tabs from days ago. I've tried manually syncing on both devices but nothing happens.

The only thing that seems to work is if I log out of my Mozilla on my cell phone and log back in but then it will stop syncing again.

If something else isn't syncing, I honestly don't notice because I don't use anything else much.

Hello, After installing the latest FF update (129.0.2), my tabs either stopped loading or taking too long to load. It can happen randomly with no particular sites. Even if the tab eventually loads, refreshing it can cause FF to go into loading mode forever. The example could be Reverb.com site that loads the home page after a delay but then searching for anything would send the tab into "forever spin". I checked it on a different router - same issue. I'm on Mac OS Sonoma 14.6.1.

Any hints? TIA. \tim

When using CTRL+SHIFT+T Firefox is restoring my oldest closed tabs instead of the recently closed ones. How do I swap this behavior back to opening the recently closed windows instead of the oldest ones?

Version 128.0.3 (64-bit) What’s new Mozilla Firefox for Linux Mint

When I visit a page which contains a Google Doc spreadsheet or try to open a Google Spreadsheet the page often fails to render properly and what I see is my desktop background instead of the Google doc element or Google doc sheet. Please see attached. This has been happening for ages and I resorted back to Chrome for such pages but now I'd like to see if it can be resolved.

Everything I get from the NYTimes goes straight to my spam folder, which is not the case with Google Chrome. I've had a GEEK Squad tech try to fix the problem, but he couldn't. Is there any way I can solve this longstanding problem? (I get lots of emails from the NYTimes because I participate in their comment threads, where I check the box to be alerted when someone responds to my comment, but that all goes into my spa folder. It's frustrating!)

Icons look funny when I am on Chess.com If I use Microsoft edge on this same PC the site looks fine. But when I log in with Firefox the Chess.com website Icons look like symbols. This is some kind of extension issue? Look at the upper right corner of the screen shot I have attached. Thank you, HELP!
