Now that I run Firefox 108.0.2 (20230104165113) I cannot see my amazon.com pages properly. I have not had the problem with any other site.

Rather than seeing the page as intended, there is a semi-tranparent "film" over it and many of the areas show html coding instead of the intended images.

Hi, for the last week or so I've noticed an irritating translucent banner at the bottom of certain web pages. I have refreshed Firefox and cleared the cache, but to no avail. Please see attached image. This is from https://www.majstro.com/

It starts and ends a distance from the left and right edges of the page. I'd love to rid of this.

I searched for this for a LONG time, and I get answers for EVERYTHING BUT simply how to make the mouse wheel scroll vertically for the number of lines, or alternately, distance, I need.

I think there used to be a direct setting for full page (fine by me), but I can no longer find it.

I use this constantly on other machines, and NEED it here on this one !!!

Thanks!

I'm using a Surface Pro 7+ with Windows 11 Home and Firefox 108.0.2.

Over the past few days, any attempt to upload files through the browser causes it to crash.

I can get as far as selecting the file I want to upload, and once the file explorer window closes, the browser appears to pause as if it's about to upload... then immediately crashes and pops up an error report ticket. This is consistent across multiple websites including Gmail, regardless of the style of upload form. A system reboot has no effect. This is the main device I use for school, and it's a pretty big problem if I can't upload my assignments on-the-go.

I also have a Dell Inspiron with Windows 11 Home and Firefox, but it doesn't encounter this problem.

When you're in a fullscreen tab, like a youtube video, and use the command for a new tab (ctrl + t) you are not directly in the address-bar in that new tab.

If you're in a non-fullscreen tab and use the command, then you are directly in the address-bar.

This is inconsistent and annoying. If you are watching an English youtube video and you come across a word you don't know, and you press "ctrl + t" to get to a new tab, you're not in the address-bar to type something like "meaning word".

Is this a bug? Is this an intended feature? How do I fix this? Is there a setting for this in about:config?

Firefox lockup on Yahoo Mail and failed session restore

I am currently using a Yahoo Mail account and have been for years but recently when on the yahoo mail page I get a red notification tellimg me I'm not connected to the internet on the tab displaying Yahoo Mail.

All other open tabs are able to access the net with no problem.

The only way to clear the issue is to open task manager, select all user info whereupon I will see one or two entries under Firefox using massive amounts of memory, i.e most open windows will have between 4.000k and 10.000k allocated but the top two entries arranged under memory use will both be firefox showing around 13.000.000k and 1.500.000k but with no information to identify which tab in firefox is using that amount.

If you select the 13.000.000 and end process, it ends that entry and nothing happens, if you then end the 1.500.000 process it crashes firefox and every single tab and window closes.

Restart firefox and it will open with the session restore page, hit restore existing session and watch the pages reopen and one iteration will head for the 13.000.000 mark again and Yahoo will not load at all.

It usually takes one or two more crashes until the session restores and Yahoo Mail loads and opens as if nothing has happened.

Today however after 4 attempts I eventually got a cannot find server notice on the yahoo page so I hard reset my router and after manually diabling and re enabling my network adapter my computer re-established a newtwork connection but when I restarted Firefox again the restore session was greyed out and only the new session button was available.

In the new session it loaded Yahoo mail immediately and when I tried to see if I could manually restore the session using the top right menu button, there is no session restore information or button at all.

Go to the history tab and there are no closed tabs or windows ( both greyed out) but the recent history display and the history itself is showing all the previousl pages.

I searched online and found this link https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1267353#:~:text=If%20your%20tabs%20disappeared%20and%20the%20previous%20session,3.%20Close%20Firefox%20Delete%20sessionstore.jsonlz4%20file%20More%20items but none of the information in it matches anything in my file system even though I too am still using Windows 7. This is the version in the update history Firefox 108.0.2 (20230104165113) Details Installed on: 6 January 2023 at 15:40:33 Status: The Update was successfully installed

Can anyone help with the why one particular tab in firefox keeps trying to monopolise memory use for itself and how to stop it, and whether there is any way to recover the previous session information as I can't find anythig remotely relating to it on my system at all:-(

Thanks

I need to administer my modem from an internal address. It uses HTTP:\\ not HTTPS:\\. No combination of settings for HTTPS-only allows me to hit the modem's page.

I can ping the address.

I've tried disabling HTTPS-Only without any change. I've tried keeping HTTPS-Only enabled and adding my modem's admin address to the exemption. I've made sure to restart FF after making the change.

I've read this article: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/https-only-prefs#w_add-exceptions-for-http-websites-when-youre-in-https-only-mode.

I do not have a padlock on the location address bar. I only see padlocks for HTTPS sites. I don't get the option to Continue to HTTP site.

FireFox 108.0.2 (64-bit).

Error: An error occurred during a connection to 192.168.X.X.

   The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
   If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer’s network connection.
   If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the web.

CenturyLink is unable to help me since I can't get the admin page.

Hi, all. having a lot of trouble with Firefox on MacBook Pro M1. This is unusual for Firefox. Pages won't load; Firefox won't even fill the URL into the address field when I use a bookmark. Just sits there. I use Mozilla's VPN, but this situation happens whether I have the VPN on or off.

Thank you for any insights/help.

Hi!

Seems like the Synchronize forgot the passwords that I saved to it.

Here is what happened: Before reinstalling Windows I created the Firefox account to save all passwords etc. On a fresh Windows I looged to Firefox account and got all my login data etc. without problems. Then I had to reinstall Windows again but after logging in to Firefox account there was no passwords - just the favourite tabs.

Is there a way to retrieve a version from a given date?
