Description: Intermittent black or white blocks partially covering parts of the image, this problem disappears when you open the same webpage in troubleshoot mode. Steps to Reproduce: This problem I have is when i open an image inside a website I am subscribed too. It first occured about three weeks ago, I tried all the available cleaning tools cache etc to try to resolve this issue. As none of that worked and I had the computer quite a while, I decided to do a complete new Windows installation but the problem was still there. This problem occurs in The British Newspaper Archive website, Newspapers At Ancestry website and Ancestry.co.uk, this problem does not occur using any other browers. I can open the same webpage in both Windows Edge and Duck Duck Go browsers and the issue is not there. So, that suggests to me that the issue is in the Firefox Browser itself. I have tried opening the webpage in the Firefox troubleshoot mode, and the issue then disappears, but then as I re-open Firefox normally, the issue returns. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me to resolve this issue. Thanks.

When I open Firefox it opens a maximized window with tabs, then it opens a minimized with a single tab, then it reopens a maximized window with all session tabs. Each window displays in succession, one window at a time.

I'm on desktop using Windows 11.

I just read a post saying this behavior was caused by the resist fingerprinting feature. Can someone explain how that causes the repeated opening of browser window 3 times. Is there a way to retain the anti-fingerprinting behavior w/o the multiple window opening behavior?

I use linux mint older version, with firefox latest versions. A problem has been developing where after clicking a search link, a page pops up warning of possible phishing site. usually i clicked proceed and was taken to the website, but now am taken to a blank page or 404"cannot be found." Of course the page exists but i cannot get there. the url is a smartredirect.de... always. How do I get rid of this redirect app?

I use FF on desktop. Recently, I've run into a problem. My desktop browser will not load any pages... except Youtube. Youtube loads just fine, I can open a video or browse channels or community pages normally. I have fully reset my browser, reinstalled it, and disabled extensions. Other browsers on my PC will work normally. I have very few extensions: Sponsorblock for Youtube, uBlock Origin, and Facebook Container, that's it. I am not using a proxy or VPN. Troubleshoot mode did not fix the issue. I'm not the most tech savvy, so I apologize if I missed anything here.

Any insight is appreciated. Thanks!

Sometimes when I do a google search the results come up in a foreign language! I am in the USA and speak only english. Changing my preferences doesn't always maintain the fix.

I've added the bookmark menu as a button on the toolbar. Don't like it. How do I add my bookmarks as a button on the toolbar? Don't need the menu options. Looking for a direct access to my bookmarks.

Hi ! I am using the latest firefox on win11 (latest updates). Since approx 2-3 days whenever I try to comment on youtube or edit an existing comment I cannot see what I am typing. I can still type and commit, the comment will appear and I it will contain what I typed. But when doing it initially it is invisble to me. If I reply to a comment I can see what I type.

Below 1st image shows a comment box I am actively typing in. Everything is invisible. 2nd image shows when I open a reply, you can clearly see the prompt and when I start typing it shows my input

Specifically, it's a resume. I downloaded a resume template from a website a long time ago, and I have modified it dozens of times as I submitted it to different jobs. The file's current name is simply my name. However, for some reason, when I open any of the versions of this file in firefox, the title of the tab is that of the original template-cashier. This doesn't happen when I open the file with edge or a regular pdf reader, but it's still pretty annoying. Why is this happening and how do I prevent it?
