In Firefox browser , truncation of string is not working, when typing into the input box at first time truncation is not working, but when focusing out and typing once again it start working , seems its rendering problem which is not working at first time.

I am using following code <style> input.b { white-space: nowrap; width: 50px; overflow: hidden; text-overflow: ellipsis; border: 1px solid #000000; </style>

text-overflow: clip (default):

<input class="b">



Above code will give the different result in firefox and the the chrome browser.

in chrome it will work at first time , means once user will start the typing into the input box , it will start showing the ellipses once text overflow will happen. but in Firefox it will not work like this, at first time when user will start the typing it will not show ellipses although text exceeds the boundary of input box , but when user focus out from the input box and start once again start typing into the input box ellipses will be shown. this behavior is creating confusion.

Kindly provide the solution for the same I am using 128.5.2 esr firfox version

I am on a school site and frequently download Word documents. Prior to a recent update ( this summer) the files went to a download manager and I could either work o the document or continue to work on the current webpage. However, sionce the update, the docuemnt is saved but inthe process I am kicked off the current webpage. Should I revert back to a previous version of Firefox or is there a workaround or patch? Thanks

I've been a loyal user of Firefox for many years, but recent problems have cause me to question that loyalty. I posted previously that the Alarm.com web site does NOT appear correctly AFTER login (NOT BEFORE login). NONE of the suggestions that were given helped. Now I see that images don't appear on a matchmaking site I go to, either on the site itself or images from the site in Outlook web (ie using Firefox) email. It never used to be this way. I never had to worry about it. I've made no changes to Firefox that I'm aware of that would cause this change in behavior. WHY is this happening? I tried everything but creating a new Firefox profile suggested in this link:

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/fix-problems-images-not-show#w_im-still-having-problems

NOTHING works. I don't get it. Images show with no trouble in Edge. So does Alarm.com.

In Firefox, reopening the app pre-loads all the last-visited tabs, while Chromium opens a blank sreen and I have a button at the top right of the screen which allows me to select whichever of the last few sessions' tabs I want to have loaded. This is definitely more convenient, as I might be working on different things at different times and need different sites for that purpose. Can we learn from Chromium and make something similar? I think the best would be a combination of both, where Firefox preloads the last visit's tabs like it currently does, but remembering the previous sessions and with the button at the top right to allow picking one of them.

What do you think? And if that is going to take too long to implement, how could I program it for myself? Bear in mind that I'm not a programmer, so it won't be something that I will be able to do today or tomorrow, but I would like to hear some directions. And of course, it would be better if the developers like the idea and make it so for everybody :)

This started happening in the last couple of days. When I opened a new tab the cursor automatically went to the address bar and I immediately started typing. Now I immediately start typing out of habit and look up and see that nothing happened because the cursor isn't in the address bar. I have to click on the address bar to start typing now. I tried to find a solution to this and couldn't. I have no idea why it changed. thank you

Good morning.


Long time regular user here. Why have the often used minimize, maximize and close options in the upper right hand corner of the Firefox for Linux been removed? I have seen numerous posts in online chat sessions complaining about the same problem? Any assistance will be greatly appreciated and I hope this issue is resolved quickly.

Firefox doesn't load a specific website: Amazon.fr

Other pages from Amazon (Amazon.com, Amazon.de .be . nl) have no problems. I can only access this page by cold starting my Mac. Once and only once! After that, the problem is there...

Also remove all data (settings / private / cookies / all data) doesn't solve the problem.

Info: Mac: Mac Sequoia Version 15.1.1 (24B91) Firefox: 133.0.3 (aarch64)

With other browsers (Chrome, Safari) there isn't any problem. In older versions of Firefox, there wasn't any problem.
