Hello,

I am experiencing discoloration on the top left corner of my firefox browser theme when I am in "full screen view". The discoloration disappears when I exit from full screen mode to "window view". This discoloration is happening on every theme I enable. I have attached two pictures to show what I am seeing between the full screen view and window view.

I am running Windows 11 and have a 32" curved monitor. I searched for solutions such as disabling hardware acceleration, but nothing seems to be working.

Any help would be really appreciated!

Thank you!

Since January 8th, 2025 I have not been able to send or receive mail on a regular basis out of Thunderbird. the strange thing is sometimes I can start Thunderbird and it will maybe download current messages, but won't work the rest of the day. Even getting a once in awhile batch of e-mail, I can't send anything at anytime. I don not have a problem going to Earthlink.net/webmail and reading my mail there, but it is not always easy to do this.....thus Thunderbird!!

Thunderbird is up to date.

server: pop.ix.netcom.com on port 110 connectin security as None

Encrypted password checked.  

My outgoing server is amtpauth.earthlink.net port 587 authentication method: Encrypted password connection Security None.

All of this has not changed since mozilla made changes years ago and they are the same settings that are reccommended by Mozilla Thunderbird for the ix.netcom.com people. 

I sure have to have to move to another progam, but I can't keep putting up with this. Hopefully someone can help!! I've added images of my settings and also of the error message I get when trying to send mail. BTW We had about 5 sessions with the India help desk at which we kept getting cut off. When finally getting to chat with someone....they had no answers, they said they would esculate the problem and someone would call in 24 hrs. That never happened...The case ID # 203683399 NO ONE EVER RESPONDED and so the problem persists.

There's a problem with video playback on firefox, where after a while/randomly, the thing happens as shown in the image. I've uninstalled intel graphics driver and reinstall, didn't work, I've refreshed firefox, didn't work, I've fully uninstalled firefox and reinstall, didn't work, and when the error occurs the igpu is at 100% usage (and ram/vram usage is not full). The whole firefox app will be laggy but not windows, and upon pausing the video only will firefox be free of lag, and a refresh will solve the issue. However, it will occur again once in a while, doesn't matter the resolution or volume, and not just youtube but all other video players. It does occur more frequently and predictably when the video is paused for some time, or when the computer sleeps for a while, and I think it has something to do with the way firefox handles ram. (just my guess)

The only fix that worked was setting media.wmf.dxva.d3d11.enabled to false, which is undesirable as it increases cpu usage by at least 20% as well as increasing my battery discharge. Other fix includes using other browsers, using my nvidia rtx on firefox, and (not totally sure) setting the resolution lower.

Also, after the error occurs/before the error occurs, firefox doesn't do that blink-in-blink-out animation when going fullscreen on video players (like chrome), which can be fixed by exiting the firefox application completely and restarting it. Refresh doesn't work here.

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

I have two computers. Both sign into the same Firefox account. Both instances of Firefox are the same version (134.0.1 64-bit).

On my main computer, creating a new tab is set to Firefox Home (default), and clicking the "+" sign to create a new tab results in the recommendations appearing as seen in the first image (firefox_2025-01-19_17-42-57.png)

On the other computer, creating a new tab is set to Firefox Home (default), and clicking the "+" sign to create a new tab results in the recommendations appearing as seen in the second image (firefox_2025-01-19_17-43-57.png)

How to I get both instances of Firefox to do the same thing when creating a new tab, i.e. organize the recommendations like the second image?

Cannot access email.

Went to email provider website and all emails are there.

Reset password and tried to update Thunderbird. No success.

Using POP account. Can get Thunderbird to hold all information. But when it tries to login to server says it cannot. This started 2 days ago. Also email from another different account ( IMAP) is painfully slow. Thunderbird says it is fully updated. Thunderbird often goes into not responding spinning wheel.

server is mail.(server).com pop puts it at 995 port, email carrier (Spectrum) says should be SSL on but choices are only TLS/SSL or STARTTLS what to use, also should password be used.
