Hi,

Looking to upgrade our org to ESR 128.2.0 due to compatibility issues - most notably, embedded PDFs not loading due to Promise.withResolvers() not being implemented on versions prior to 121.

Curious to know if there are any issues or concerns with upgrading manually/pushing this version out - would like to ensure we don't cause further issues in attempting to resolve one.

Firefox has started freezing my computer for no reason. At first I thought it was MS trying to get me to reboot so they could install updates, but when I did a hard shutdown and restart, it wasn't. I couldn't use the mouse or keypad.

Nothing on the keyboard worked.

I have my keyboard plugged into a multi-usb adapter, so I tried unplugging it and plugging it into another usb slot, but that didn't work either.

This is an intermittent problem. FF will work fine for weeks or months, then suddenly, it does this.

I've switched to a new profile already, so that's not it.

Is this a new bug? Please don't answer me by suggesting I do things I've already done. TYVM

I am running Firefox 130.0.1 on Ubuntu 24.04.1. I have attached a jpg of the popup window mentioned in the title.

To the best of my knowledge, this window only (and almost always) appears when I am entering characters from a chat box or a text window subordinate to Firefox. I don't know if the popup is generated by Ubuntu or Firefox. Does anyone recognize this as a Firefox popup?

The scenario is this: I am typing away, entering text and for some reason the cursor moves out of the text/chat box. I don't know what I do to cause this to happen. I keep entering text and evidently hit some button that causes the popup to appear. Does anyone know what causes this popup to be displayed?

Thanks, John

I'm having increasing difficulty with incomplete website links/information when accessing websites using Firefox. The website landing page will display and appear to be normal, but it will not display some information or links to go to other information within the site. I have to us Chrome as the browser in order to get the links/information I need. I suspect this is due to the website programming changing and they are not providing Firefox with the needed information to allow users to view the changed website programming. The problem presents itself when I'm unable to follow a directive from the company whose website I've accessed. The screen display in Firefox does not match the screen display in Chrome. Only the Chrome screen provides the information/functionality I need. I hope you can provide me with a solution to this problem because I prefer to us Firefox as my default browser. Thank you, Bob Buck, bobbuck999@gmail.com

Completely out of the blue I cannot connect to my account at LLoyds bank because of a security problem with the bank which you describe as a connectivity issue. They say the problem lies with Firefox. Whichever I need it sorted quickly.

I have been using Firefox since shortly after it was released. As I am fond of wine I often visit the web site systembolaget.se. But since 2 months ago that site is not readable with Firefox It shows very small pictures and text that is so smal I cannot read it. My solution is to use Chrome which shows everything as I am used to. I have not observed this type of problem with Firefox at any other web sites. Best regards, Håkan

I'm a little fuzzy on recommended safe browsing habits.

When I visit banking sites they always recommend closing your browser when you're done for security purposes. I generally have lots of unrelated tabs open on my browser. Is it unsafe to have those tabs open when I go to the banking site? Does closing the browser and reopening it (after the banking session) flush out the data even when all those tabs remain open?

Hello, I was wondering if there's any implementation or plan to implement biometrics I.e Windows Hello, to unlock passwords in lieu of the primary password for Firefox desktop. What I'm envisioning is when I start the browser, instead of entering in my Primary Password, I could unlock that "vault" with a fingerprint reader instead of typing my primary password. I am aware of the functionality to use Windows Hello to lock access to alter/view the passwords, what I'm talking about is unlocking basically the autofill feature that currently requires primary password, much like what already exists on Firefox mobile.

Hello, im having issue with desync. I had to click "reset password" after disc format, because i forgot password and firefox desynced permanently. How can I resync old profile?

How to make links/search/suggestions opened in new tab (middle click) from the URL/Search bar to open in background and not switch immediately.

I already toggled the following settings to "true" - browser.search.context.loadInBackground - browser.tabs.loadBookmarksInBackground - browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground - browser.tabs.loadInBackground

Background new tabs only works for links in the page & bookmark bar. I would like to know how to make it work if links are opened in new tab from the URL/search bar.

I am going to switch OS soon, with open core patcher.. I alreasdy lost 2 years of bookmarks 5 months ago, I can't have it happen again.. What is the easiest way to save my book marks for new OS / COMP?

Thunderbird working fine with 3x accounts, but the password for my Hotmail account keeps disappearing/re-appearing. So half the time, Hotmail syncs messages - like the other accounts. Half the time, it won't and prompts me to re-enter the password.... and that does not work. It simply says that the password is wrong. This morning, I searched through some articles and ended up on the PASSWORDS page for Thunderbird. Guess what? There is NO ENTRY password entry for Hotmail at all... ??? So... I HAVE Hotmail listed as an account (along with all of my other emails)... but I do NOT have a password entry for Hotmail. Not "It is incorrect", but literally there is no option for it in the list.

I am completely confused - any help/suggestions welcome :-)

When I try to log-in on a website using google it tries to open a pop-up windows but it instantly gets closed. I have disabled all my adblockers and the pop-up blocking in the settings. When i try to do it the console says "Failed to open popup window on url: (the url) Maybe blocked by the browser?"

Hallo!

Tenho a preocupação de aprender maneira de configurar uma senha no alleinstark@yahoo.com e a mesma

I have a closed Ubuntu installation I use to clone and quickly setup a VM. The closed system uses a proxy with restricted access to the internet, as such I would like to give it systemwide settings that will effect new and existing users.

I have attempted to use /etc/firefox/syspref.js, and apturl.js in /etc/firefox/pref/apturl.js. I have setting in EnvVars for HTTPS_PROXY and HTTP_PROXY pointing at the proxy http://proxy:8080. It seems by default firefox does not look at that.

Secondly I wanted to turn off the site warnings for intranet sites using the following options: pref("security.insecure_field_warning.contextual.enabled,false") pref("security.certerrors.permanentOverride,false") pref("network.stricttransportsecurity.preloadlist,false") pref("security.enterprise_roots.enabled,true")

Seeing as nothing I try seems to be working, and the potentials solutions were for older versions, is there a way I can do this?

Thanks JJ
