Description: Intermittent black or white blocks partially covering parts of the image, this problem disappears when you open the same webpage in troubleshoot mode. Steps to Reproduce: This problem I have is when i open an image inside a website I am subscribed too. It first occured about three weeks ago, I tried all the available cleaning tools cache etc to try to resolve this issue. As none of that worked and I had the computer quite a while, I decided to do a complete new Windows installation but the problem was still there. This problem occurs in The British Newspaper Archive website, Newspapers At Ancestry website and Ancestry.co.uk, this problem does not occur using any other browers. I can open the same webpage in both Windows Edge and Duck Duck Go browsers and the issue is not there. So, that suggests to me that the issue is in the Firefox Browser itself. I have tried opening the webpage in the Firefox troubleshoot mode, and the issue then disappears, but then as I re-open Firefox normally, the issue returns. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me to resolve this issue. Thanks.

Hi, Bones here,

I recently had issues when using Firefox that after typing a couple letters into my google email sign in area my browser would freeze and then not respond. I did the "fix/restore" but now all of my saved passwords and book marks are gone. I'm almost positive I was signed in as a Mozilla account but its not there any more. Please any help to get them all back or to figure out what email it could be would be amazing.

Firefox is using too much of my Pcs proccessing power and causing my pc to freeze. The videos Im watching and twitch will just freeze then I have to hard reset my pc because the windows option to shut down or restart will do nothing. Even when I hit window+ctrl+shift+b to reset my graphics card it does nothing. please help me or I will have to stop using firefox which Ive been using for 20 years.

Hello,

I am a new firefox user and would like to use it 100%, but have been running into a few bugs. This one I have been unable to find this issue myself, so thought I would ask here. I use Qobuz to stream hi-res music up to 24bit/ 192kHz. Some albums do not have sound at that resolution. The file will load and timer shows the song is playing, but there is no audio. I can change the setting to stream at 16bit/44.1kHz and then I get audio. Again, this does not occur with all albums, some will stream at hi-res and some will not. An interesting note: the same file with no audio at hi-res on firefox will have audio at same resolution setting on chrome. The only thing I can think of is chrome is reducing resolution in the background, or maybe a DRM issue? I do have "Play DRM-controlled content" checked in firefox settings.

p.s. I am aware that streaming music through a browser is not necessarily the best way to listen to hi-res music, and my ears may, or may not hear the difference between the 16bit and 24bit. However, the issue is the functionality, or lack of.

Thank you in advance for any insight.

Hello I have an application that shows forms where the input fields are inserted on table columns. When the column contains two fields sometimes the second field is showed not in the same line.

It must be said that the second field is added after the creation of the form.

Whit Chrome and Edge the form is showed correctly. At thislink the behavior can be seen. Thanks

I have been playing a word game on Gamepoint.com...always worked. 3 days ago when the gameboard comes up it is messed up. I jumped onto microsoft edge and it works... firefox is having issues letting this game load properly...how do i fix?

Sometimes it restarts and sometimes it doesn't. I have tried all the gizmos like deleting my cache and things but to no avail. It used to work alright. Please help!

How does Firefox determine where the Kerberos keytab is located?

The default location for Kerberos keytabs on a Linux box is within /tmp. /tmp is very temporary these days and is wiped on reboot and it looks like on the various power save/restore.

So, I decided to move the keytabs to a static location to allow them to work according to the usual schedules and timeouts, instead of being wiped out on a whim. I settled on /var/lib/krb5tabs/krb5cc_%u I configured that within /etc/krb5.conf

I use pam_winbind from Samba to do the Kerberos login and the keytab is filled in and the environment var KRB5CCNAME is set correctly.

Before the change of the location of the keytab from the defaults, everything works fine apart from after a resume and creds need re entering (which is the pain I am trying to avoid).

After the change, Evolution is still able to authenticate via Kerberos but Firefox is not. So, does FF just assume defaults or actually follow KRB5CCNAME - which seems to be the standard for Kerberos?

Hello

When attempting to pay for online purchases the new firefox upgrade (Mac 133.0.3) will not redirect from the merchant to the payment site. Yesterday, before the upgrade, was no problem making credit card purchases online; now, nothing. Please advise on how to set up new firefox version to allow redirect to payment websites from merchant sites.

Thank you.

My Firefox Version is up to date & I am using a 2019 iMac.

Recently tried to save a bookmark. When I clicked on Bookmarks, Bookmark Current Tab, a window appears, as usual, which allows you to save a new bookmark to a specific location (folder in My Bookmarks). I could not find the folder I wanted even though it was listed under the currently open window in My Bookmarks. In addition, I could not save the new bookmark to appear in My Bookmarks.

Note: most of the Bookmarks shown in the location selection window did match the My Bookmarks list, but not all of them

Have never had this issue. Any suggested fixes?

/edit bump: moved thread from Firefox for iOS (for iPhone/iPad) to Firefox section as you have macOS.

When I open Firefox it opens a maximized window with tabs, then it opens a minimized with a single tab, then it reopens a maximized window with all session tabs. Each window displays in succession, one window at a time.

I'm on desktop using Windows 11.

I just read a post saying this behavior was caused by the resist fingerprinting feature. Can someone explain how that causes the repeated opening of browser window 3 times. Is there a way to retain the anti-fingerprinting behavior w/o the multiple window opening behavior?
