Why aren't pull-down menus, behaving consistently, on Firefox on a Late-2021 M1-Max Sequoia v15.2 laptop Mac ? [2]

They work, properly, in Troubleshooting Mode -- is it the fault of my browser-extensions ?

Hello,

I have an issue where, when I switch tabs with Ctrl+Tab, my mouse cursor accidentally triggers something if it happens to be in the center. This is very annoying. I tried Googling how to turn off tab visualization through the config, but it hasn't worked so far.

   * browser.ctrlTab.previews

  • browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab
  • browser.tabs.animate
  • toolkit.cosmeticAnimations.enabled

So now, the only option I see is to turn off Recent Tabs, but then the browser becomes unusable. I also tried the same on a new clean user profile and even on new Mozilla-based browsers, but still nothing. It would be ideal to make the cursor inactive while switching tabs, like it is in Arc Browser and probably many others. But I would be happy enough to just turn off tab switching visualization.

Mozilla, are you doing anything to fix the performance and connectivity of Https://Bible.com ? Https://YouVersion.com ? Whenever I select to open my plans or just the Bible, it tells me to ask for your help. Isn't using Firefox much better than opening web-based applications? You have already cancelled a request to fix another issue on it. Why? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1405238

I have an account with the site, https://www.thecalendarcreator.com . It is a software that creates calendars for the present and future years. I have turned off Enhanced Tracking for the site (that worked for another site of theirs that I joined). Some functions work, many do not work correctly, if at all.

My computer is a Mac, v 10.13.6, so it's getting old. I have contacted thecalendarcreator.com support, and they can't find anything wrong on their end. They have suggested that perhaps it's some sort of anti-virus setting on my end. I've been looking at my Settings, but I'm no techie, so I don't know what to do. I would greatly appreciate your help, so I can hopefully get this site to work.

Thank you very much, Lea Lashaway

I use a Firefox browser and a few days ago I got a message on my screen saying I wouldn't be able to use it after January 2025. I didn't read the message properly so I can't give any details.

I have looked at system requirements to update my current version but as I will explain it is not possible for me to update: I am using an old iMac - OS X version 10.9.5 The firefox version is 78.15.0esr (64-bit)

To update I need to have at least Mac OS 10.12 or later.

I am not computer literate so I cannot update my Operating System so I won't be able to download a more recent version of Firefox browser.

  • Will my current version still work after January (but with no new security updates)?
  • or will I not be able to use my Firefox browser at all?

I would like to know how do I set the DuckDuckGo browser extension on Firefox, to open YouTube videos? I do not use the DDG browser because I can't use talk to text on it. If it ever gets an update where I can use it, I will use it. For now the extension is fine but I would like to know how to open the videos because when I click on a video in my search results it does nothing

I'm on a Mac Pro running OS Sierra, 10.12.5. I cannot upgrade this Mac due to a specific version of Pro Tools that I have, that will only run on this Mac OS. My current version of Firefox is 115.0.3 (64-bit) on the ESR channel.

My question is this: Is there another version I can update Firefox to, and how? Or is there another browser you would recommend I use?

Thanks, Ray Kallas

Is Firefox not growing or everything needs to be highlighted? I have never highlighted anything to chrome yet it has done things that are worth it.
