Hello, I noticed that some plugins that claim of MPL 1.1 License is actually close source, furthermore, some of those even have “Recommended” tag. Since this is a big misleading considering these plugins actually have very broad permissions, I consider those plugins as abuse. I reported them 1 or 2 months ago but no response. I don't want to list those names out in case it was just the author selected a wrong selection, but i do believe that the author should correct that, and the more important thing is Mozilla should check this more carefully.

The horizontal scroll bars had been missing for certain URL in firefox since mid last year 2023. I just downloaded the latest version for windows 11 and it is still missing.

I have checked the settings > General > browsing > related to scrollbars and they are all checked, namely: - use autoscrolling - use smooth scrolling

But it is still missing! I generally use firefox for my work and Google chrome for my personal use - to compartmentalize my browsing content/history. Now I will have to ditch firefox and use chrome only for both work and personal if this is not fixed.

Whenever I try to sign into any website via my Google account, it takes me to a blank white popup that I cannot interact with (I can only close it). I've tried clearing my cookies, which almost works - it does the proper Google popup and lets me input my username and password, but I don't actually get signed in - and when I try to sign in again the popup is blank. This also happens in troubleshooter mode, so my extensions probably aren't what are causing this problem. Does anyone have any idea what's happening? Thanks in advance.

Firefox is not responding in one of my admin accounts. No problem with the other admin account.

This occured after installing Firefox 127.0.2. I restarted my iMac to complete the installation. Upon opening the admin account Firefox was not responding.

Thanks for your input in advance. My current email address is gellertr@socal.rr.com

A few days ago, on Firefox (been using for many years) middle clicking on a YouTube thumb nail video results in an "Video unavailable This content isn’t available" message. Must left click and and can only have one tab open at a time. Even when my wife emails me a link to see something on You Tube it will not open that video. This is very annoying involving copy and pasting and back tracking.

Searching for a solution, I can deselect video previews in YouTube settings (which I don't need anyway), however this only works in Chrome not in Firefox which is my preferred browser.

Maybe this can be corrected in either a Firefox or YouTube update.

Please Help Nick Androu

I ONLY want to use Firefox 55.0. My computer doesn't like your modern Microsoft type of Browser, Please supply ONLY FIREFOX 55.0.

Thank you , this is my 4th., Fourth request. Or do you prefer I use Opera Browser, it's up to you Firefox. Accommodate your user or lose business.

Dear Sir, dear Madame, I have been using the DeepL Pro web translator for a few months now, and it worked without any problems for the first few weeks! But from one day to the next it crashed regularly and often. and it was impossible to work with it. The DeepL support team tried very hard, but they couldn't find any errors! However, they did point out that another application might be interfering. That's when I thought about all the Firefox updates. Could it be that one of the updates loaded something that DeepL doesn't like? It's just a guess, but no one could give me other explanation!

So I ask you to check if this assumption is true! You are my last resort! Best regards, Peter Prokesch

1. I use a startpage called IGHome. That address is set as my default to open to. When it opens I notice that the address is not secure. When I add https:// in front of it, it does in-fact open, which is good. Even though I added that prefix to the address on the Internet Options page in my system, it still continues to open the old 'unsecured' way. I also cleaned IGHome out of my system before resaving it. Is there anyway to get my system to recognize the secure version? And, if I open any sites with passwords on the unsecured version, they DO open as secured so in reality I am still safe (even though my system is not opening the https site).

2. Also, on my IGHome page, there are 'Show Your History' and 'Show your Bookmarks' tabs at the top right in the toolbar. When I used to open them they would open almost flush right. Now they open almost in the center. Is there a way to make them open in their previous flush right location again?

Thank you in-advance for any time and assistance!

Sincerely,

Firefox 129.0.1 Windows 10 22H2 (19045.4780)

I uninstalled WhatsApp desktop and deleted handlers.json, but when I click the "Join chat" button on chat.whatsapp.com, Firefox still ask me if I want to open with WhatsApp desktop.

Is this a default behaviour? If not, how can I fix this? Thanks.
