I use Protonmail - a web-based email app. They do not provide spellchecking, but say that the Firefox spellchecker should work in their email composer (it used to work so for me!) but, despite having Settings/General/Spellchecker ticked, and a dictionary (GB) selected (and, I see, the spellchecker working in this dialogue box) it is not working in the Protonmail composer.

Help!!

Hello, At one time I could login at home to view my Spectrum.net account on Firefox (default browser), now I get a popup which reads "This feature is currently unavailable. Please try again from home or contact us for assistance. "IDID-4000"

I get the same message on my laptop and desktop, both running Firefox. I can switch to the Edge browser and login with no issues. I have cleared cookies and used other suggestions I have read on the web, but to no avail. Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks! Tony

Hello. In the past two days I lose my tabs when I shut down Firefox. I used to be fine using the X at the top right and when I restarted the browser, all my tabs would still be there. Then they started going missing, so I started using the menu option to exit the browser. The tabs still went missing.

Then I noticed the square icon button on the extreme left and have discovered that Firefox has different windows, and that one of them (see attached image) has all my tabs in it, while the current window does not.

I cannot change Window 2 to be the current window. There is no obvious function on the page, nothing in settings and google is useless - I just get pages of discussion of how to tab between different apps on the desktop.

How do I make Window 2 the current window? See image.

Thank you

Dear Sir/Madam,

I have recently found some sites that do not open in Firefox, however, in Chrome everyhing is fine. This was one of them: https://sciendo.com/article/10.2478/jdis-2025-0002

The other one was a login page for an Admin site - that is not suitable for testing, since it contains confidential data.

Could you please check it?

Thanks, Krisztina Kőrösi

Video Decoding problem (nVidia+Windows11+Nightly)

Youtube seem to be having problems with video decoding, previous frames seem to be displayed from time to time. for ex, this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dFhzMEnCEhY

The same profile works on Firefox 134.0b8 (64-bit) without problems, but not on nightly. If I just disable `media.hardware-video-decoding.enabled` and restart, then the problem goes away on Nightly.

Enabling/Disabling my user customizations don't seem to affect it. Enabling/Disabling addons don't affect it. Using a new empty profile also doesn't affect it, the problem persists. I tried deleting "gmp-widevinecdm" folder and redownloading it, still didn't solve the problem.

I seems to be some sort of regression, it used to work before a couple of days ago. Please fix, I hope the information I provided helps, as I like having hardware acceleration.

I also tried to update the display driver. nVidia Driver: 31.0.15.5176 now 32.0.15.6636

Is this something to be concerned about with future sites, or is this an unfortunate, isolated incident? One of my local utility companies is not going to be supporting the use of Firefox on their website any longer. Has anyone else seen anything like this on other sites, or has this been brought up elsewhere? Frankly I find it outrageous and is forcing me and others to use Chromium based browsers (aside from Safari which I don't use).

  • I emailed the company asking for an explanation, and I'm awaiting a reply.

I would share the URL for others to email and help press the company on the issue, but wasn't sure of the guidelines of the forum or if that was appropriate. I'm just irritated and venting sorry =/

Firefox auto updated when I opened it today. Then when it opened, all that was on the screen was the menu (file edit view history bookmarks tools help), the "search or enter address" box, and in the upper right hand corner the words "private browsing" with the purple circle and eye eyeglasses icon. That's all. I have tried looking at my profile. It seems to still be there. This seems to be a problem with the Firefox software itself. I have re-downloaded the software three times, the last time I uninstalled Firefox from my laptop and totally reinstalled. Every time I get the same results. This almost blank screen. Let me be clear. There is no purple background, there is no Firefox icon, there are no tabs, there is no customized menu bar, there is no search box in the middle of the screen. I'm working on a Windows 10 laptop 64 bit. Please don't tell me to upgrade the Windows 11, the laptop won't take Windows 11. I get the same window whether I open the regular fire fox or the private browsing Firefox.

I had a background image for the new tab page that has suddenly stopped working, it just displays a white screen. I clicked the 'reset to default' button next to 'Wallpapers' on the new tab page to try to fix the problem but nothing happens. No wallpapers show up under that section either where it used to be when it was working. I've restarted Firefox and the same thing happens. I have not enabled any third party CSS wallpaper.

Apart from that, everything else is working as it should. I'm sort of a computer-idiot so if anyone could please use layman's terms it would be very much appreciated!
