Firefox Community Forum

I am having difficulties opening certain web site or click on emails to open a web page. I have been copying the addresses and pasting in Chrome to successfully open these websites. I have been a Firefox user for many years and never had this problem. I an using Windows 11 64 bit.

Please help!

Quite often when I try to open the RMB context menu to download image from Google Images it either:

• shows me Developer tools or
• suggests to translate the image or
• redirects me to another page

I don't understand why it's happening at the first place, and how to solve this issue. I have installed Firefox 128.0.3 (64-bit) from Flathub.

I am using a Hammerspoon on MacOs to do my window management. This allows me to move windows around to different areas and monitors using my own hotkeys. For all other applications, this works perfectly. Windows move to the target area/screen instantly when I press a hotkey. However, Firefox always needs some "encouragement". On every key-press, it moves towards the desired location & size, but never gets there in one go.

After some googling, I recently found another question on this forum that seemed to fix the problem. It is this question: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1438695

By setting `ui.prefersReducedMotion` to 1, Firefox stops its animation-stuff and does exactly what is expected when the windowmanager gives the window a series of `(x, y, w, h)` instructions. So, that seemed like the fix I needed.

But... I typically don't reboot my mac for weeks on end and I noticed that after "some time", Firefox reverts back to its old behaviour. I have not yet figured out if there is a minimum amount of time before this happens, or if it has something to do with locking/unlocking my mac. At the moment the only way to fix it again is to restart Firefox.

I know reducing animations in MacOS' accessibility-settings probably fixes it for good, but that is not what I want. That would remove _all_ animations from all of the apps and the OS. How can I help investigate this?

Hi, I’m experiencing an issue with Firefox (v134.0.1) on Ubuntu 22.05. On certain websites, the text overlaps and becomes unreadable. For example, this happens on https://globalwordnet.github.io/schemas/ but not on others.

I’ve tried the following:

• Resetting zoom (Ctrl+0).
• Disabling all extensions.
• Clearing cache and cookies.
• Testing in Chrome, where the issue doesn't occur.

I also tried all the suggestion in this old discussion (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1392547), but I couldn't solve the problem.

Does anyone know what might be causing this or how to fix it? Thanks in advance!

Hello, I have a mac os high sierra version 10.13.6. Google meet has stopped working since yesterday. I updated firefox (115.19.0esr). That doesn't work either. Do you have any advice for me? I hope! Thank you so much! Marie Dupuis

Suddenly all the gmail attachments stopped to download. I can see (and scroll) the e.g. pdf in a viewing mode but I can`t download it. I turned on the troublshooting mode but the problem persisted. I can download the same attachment in Chrome.

Why is my credit card blocked on my favourite shopping site? Everything was fine until the end of December. My cards are not blocked by the bank or Visa or Mastercard. I've checked many times. A site I haven't used for 6 months isn't a problem. How do I correct this? Thanks for reading this. I hope you can help. I appreciate that you are here. Marcia Green

The font size in "Manage Bookmarks" is way too large, both in the sections list menu on the left and the list of bookmarks. I checked my userChrome.css file as well as the layout.css.devPixelsPerPx entry in about:config and there's nothing there to explain why only the "Manage Bookmarks" text is so large.

It's possible I changed a setting somewhere that's causing this. But I'm stumped re: what setting might be controlling the font size in only that UI. All other Firefox text sizes are good.

Thanks to anyone who knows where I should be looking
