From Lornadelmarroagepetion@proton.me And delorysoares@proton.me

This is not easy to put into words, because it has been going on for weeks. Is it that Firefox needs to now make sure Firefox Servers always recognise www.change.org and so to automatically clear the way for our www.proton.me email providers to use Firefox Search engine to always reach change.org, which we prefer to use Firefox as freedom of speech fighters, because of Google is playing secret censorship and ambushing games worldwide, because it Google www carrier monopoly to secretly play with us or is the trouble we have now for Google to ambush us repeatedly so Google can to take us away from using free Firefox to only Google search engines?.

The problem and proof it is so is that:

We have 2 petitions on www.change.org. Then for weeks we, and others we know and met in the streets to sign our petitions, have been having problems to sign and or confirm the petitions have been signed and confirmed back to them and us from our Civil rights Petition agents Change.org. As last resort Change.org lately told to try use to Google Chrome, instead of Firefox that we prefer to use and support, then we may get pass the error message that’s blocking our supporters from our list. We installed Google Chrome and other non Google Search Engines like Duck Duck Go and we still get the same blocks, so we must be losing Signatures and Petition Supporters of our Petitions and time. We suspect Google is deliberately ambushing us to force us to leave Firefox Search Engine. Google is the firm that www.Change.org use to run their Petitions sites. The staff at Change do not know what Google has been secretly doing in ambushing people who do not use or want Google Chrome etc to sign up to our petitions and ambushing our Proton.me private email when we use our Proton.me emails via Firefox.

The problem we have for weeks now, severely now affecting our 2 Petitions counts is that: After people sign our petitions on change, change.org sends automatically an email to the petitions signers for the signer to click a link to prove they really signed up to my petitions on change. When they click and are authenticated Change.org then send us a confirmation email and their names appear our petition lists, for us to click to thank them and ask them to share our petitions, and sent the singers petition updates via change.org.

Some friends, and people we go to sign our petition, using Firefox search engine, or other different none Google controlled search engines, are constantly having trouble for weeks to access to song up or to get the confirmation email from change.org to work at all, and some cannot even get the confirming email at all if they are using such as www.Proton.me email system no matter how many times they sign up to our petitions or click the said confirming email back to Change.org.

The error that keep coming up says the address at www.change.org is not recognised when they received the email from chnage.org to simply click the link to confirm they signed our petitions, and we even sent the message to change.org and they keep saying nothing wrong with the link sent us or to our petitions supporters, for some weeks now, until some of our petition supporters have not bothered to continue to try or sign up afresh after we meet them in the streets etc, so they are automatically deleted from our petitions list after 14 days which is not fair to us nor to change.org staff that take a voluntary fee to run the change.org petition site so they the staff would not block petitions' supporters, while Google their agent may block supporters if Google do not like our petitions.

Some people we know get the link via invitation from us or from change.org after finding our petitions themselves or via QR Code to sign up, and when they do get chnage.org email to click a link to activate back to change.org that they did sign our petitions. But now of late for week clicking the link have repeatedly resulted the same error saying the link from chanage.org is not recognised, repeatedly as if blocked by Firefox from reaching chnage.org servers, and then our private email with Proton.me, and other supporters at same www.proton.me, got a message back from Proton.me that said it seems that the error is a fault with Firefox search engine we use; while some that clicked from their Proton.me email reply box says they also then used Goggle.com or Chrome and have the same error message blocking their confirmation email reply back to change.org, so that now we and they using Firefox and Proton.me cannot get past the said error message to get change.org to automatically confirm their signed to our Petition as they are not appearing on the list of our Petitions' Support signature list, supposed to be confirmed on change, after they signed up to our change.org petitions.

We have contacted change.org to see if it’s their sent our to us and signers links and they said no, and said they tested it and said they try Google Chrome and it works, because Change.org and most of their Change.org users use Google Chrome, and then we did install and tried Google Chrome and it is still giving us the change.org page cannot recognised errors, so it cannot be Firefox's fault, and we installed Firefox again and it still did not work, and we installed other no Google Controlled Search engines like DUCK Duck Go and we still get the same error message.

Please check you Firefox servers to make sure it is not Firefox fault we keep getting the error - change.org is not recogniezed, so page is blocked from our proton.me email box via Firefox we prefer as our default search engine.

Is it that Firefox needs to now make sure Firefox Servers always recognise www.change.org and so to automatically clear the way for our www.proton.me email providers to use Firefox Search engine to always reach change.org, which we prefer to use Firefox as freedom of speech fighters, because of Google is playing censorship games worldwide because it has www carrier monopoly to secretly play with us or is the trouble we have now for Google to ambush us repeatedly so Google can to take us away from using free Firefox to only Google search engines?.

Yours sincerely

Up to 126.0b9, files with encoded URLs in their filenames downloaded normally. As of 127 onward, however, it gets changed to _3A instead of %3A, etc. Is there a setting somewhere in config to revert this?

Example:

Supposed to be: test [sound=https%3A%2F%2Ffiles.catbox.moe%2Fe547nk.mp3].png Downloads as: test [sound=https_3A_2F_2Ffiles.catbox.moe_2Fe547nk.mp3].png

I just want to bring it to your attention, that since my latest Windows 11 updates, Firefox browser has been having browsing issues.

1. Basic or multiple tabs are no longer browsing as before. Pages such as: Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, CNN, Microsoft home Page, Google, GoDaddy, and so on.

Please note: I have cleared the Cache and internet history, and this does not make any difference. The issue remains the same.

What is causing this basic browsing issue with this version of Firefox?

HI, I suddenly can't get access to my long time Printify account with the Firefox browser on my Mac. One day, yes, next day, no. I have used Firefox for years and it is my go to browser. After entering my "correct" login info, I check the Verify You Are Human box and get an immediate Failure! notice. I can sign in via Firefox on my iPhone and on my Mac with the Safari browser so it seems it has something to do with Firefox Mac browser itself. I tried to go for the forgot password scenario but it also requires the checked Human box and I get the same Failure! message. Very much need access, please help. Thanks, Don Griffin

Since firefox updated on my Win10 PC to 128.0.3 I haven't been able to play Netflix, Viaplay or other streaming services.

Youtube works fine.

I tried disabling and then re-enable DRM in Firefox settings. Nothing works.

In netflix I get the error code F7701-1003.

What is the solution?

I have had a lot of trouble using Firefox lately. I can't get to my e-mail and I can't get to my bank's website without getting a phone call which isn't always practical. My wife uses Chrome and doesn't have any problems. Am I going to have to switch to Chrome too?

The new Shiny for Python 1.0.0 seems to be incompatible with Firefox. I made this dummy app:

• • • Start of code ***

from shiny import App, render, ui, reactive from pathlib import Path

app_ui = ui.page_fillable(

   ui.panel_title(
       ui.row(
       ui.column(6, ui.h1("title1")),
       ui.column(6, ui.h1("title2"))
       )
   ),
   ui.layout_sidebar(
       ui.sidebar(
           ui.input_text("input_text1", "input_text1", value=""),
           ui.input_text("input_text2", "input_text2", value=""),
           ui.input_text("input_text3", "input_text3", value=""),
           ui.input_text("input_text4", "input_text4", value=""),
           ui.input_text("input_text5", "input_text5", value=""),

           ui.input_selectize("input_selectize1", "input_selectize1", choices=["1", "2"]),
           ui.input_numeric("input_numeric1", "input_numeric1", value=4),
           ui.input_numeric("input_numeric2", "input_numeric2", value=8),
           ui.input_numeric("input_numeric3", "input_numeric3", value=20),
           ui.input_selectize("input_selectize2", "input_selectize2", choices=["3", "4", "5"]),
           ui.input_numeric("input_numeric4", "input_numeric4", value=1),
           ui.input_numeric("input_numeric5", "input_numeric5", value=1),
           ui.input_switch("input_switch1", "input_switch1", value=False),
           ui.input_switch("input_switch2", "input_switch2", value=False),
           ui.input_switch("input_switch3", "input_switch3", value=False),
           ui.input_action_button("input_action_button1", "input_action_button1"),
           ui.input_action_button("input_action_button2", "input_action_button2", disabled=True),
           width="350px"
       ),
       ui.layout_columns(
           ui.card(
               ui.card_header("card_header1"),
               ui.output_data_frame("card1"),
               full_screen=True
           ),
           ui.card(
               ui.card_header("card_header2"),
               ui.output_data_frame("card2"),
               full_screen=True
           ),
           col_widths=[12, 12]
       )
   )

)

def server(input, output, session):

   @reactive.event(input.input_action_button1)
   def reactive_function1():
       pass

   @output
   @render.data_frame
   def card1():
       return reactive_function1()

   @output
   @render.data_frame
   def card2():
       pass

   @reactive.effect
   @reactive.event(input.write_guides)
   def reactive_function2():
       return reactive_function1()

src_dir = Path(__file__).parent / "src" app = App(app_ui, server, static_assets=src_dir)

• • • End of code ***

Then I started it and opened it with Safari (left) and Firefox (right).

With Shiny for Python 0.10.2 both browsers seem fine (click the link for a screenshot): https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/c1a40577-6341-40c5-b952-7fb99cb3330e

But as soon as I switch to Shiny for Python 1.0.0, Firefox fails, but Safari is still able to display: https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/6fbc60a6-2487-4195-a7c3-a326bdfc7373

Not sure, if this is of any use, but I can "expand" the sidebar in Firefox leading to this: https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/4f2d318f-809b-463d-9c99-7c2a8670397d

Any ideas, what's wrong? Can I fix this in my code or does this need to be fixed by the devs?

I can't seem to figure this out on my own so i'm hoping someone here can help.

I have some unwanted emails showing up as suggested when i right click on a browser tab and select "share" and i don't know how to find where they are saved on the browser to be able to delete them so they're no longer auto-suggested. Right clicking on the suggested email doesn't show any options and they are not saved in auto-fill either.

Havent tried deleting all cookies/history, but im not sure if that would help.. Anyone have any ideas?

Attn: To whom it may concern @Fire Fox Mozilla My desktop version is macOS Ventura 13.6.7 your Fire Fox browser goes to the Mac-browser 115. The reason that I'm inquiring is I have to constantly have reload or restart the page again it is slowing

me down. Because if this continues I may have change browsers.

I have a recurring problem, just started a few weeks ago. It comes and goes. I try to play netflix videos and get the message "Firefox is installing components need to play audio or video." I can't tell anything is being installed. I've tried purging cache, restarting firefox, restarting my computer. Windows 10. Firefox version 128.0.3 (64-bit)

I created this thread about year ago Make Firefox android default for google assistant, shortcuts, but I missed the last response by Paul.

"If you search the Settings app for "default", you should see "default digital assistant app" as one of the results."

Sorry Paul.

I found the settings for the app with, but the app itself isn't the listed under apps.

I was able to make Firefox the default, but in partnership with what? With Firefox as the "default", Google Assistant is deactivated.

I first mentioned this in r/Firefox, and was asked to re-post here.

My FF just updated to 127.0.1 even though I have "Check for updates but let you choose to install them" and told it to wait. This was on a Windows 11 box. Everything seemed fine, but then one of my tabs crashed. I selected the reload tab option, at which point it informed me it could not load the tab because a background update had happened and I was now required to restart Firefox.

I'm not certain what version of FF I was on, I believe it was either 126 or 126.0.1.

Now, to be completely fair, I cannot with 100% certainty say that I clicked on the update later option. That said, as I _did not want to update then_, and I have put off the update before, it seems unlikely I would have made the mistake, but I wasn't recording everything I did so I can't play it back and prove it. My initial reaction was to associate it with the tab crashing somehow, as everything was working as expected right up until that moment.

Thanks

I use a ThinkPadNotebook with Windows. While surfing with Firefox, in a careless moment I clicked "allow" at a notification request of a suspicious website (qltuh.check-tl-ver-116-1.com). After this a few other websites opened up rapidly and soon after notification at the bottom right corner of the screen appeared. I immediately went offline and deactivated the corresponding permission for notifications in firefox. In particular, I did not follow any link displayed on the bottom right notifications.

My question is: Did simply granting permission of notification to this webiste create a security risk on my desktop? Or can I rest assured, since I revoked the permission and in the meantime did not follow any links displayed by the notification?

Thanks for help and clarification!

This is an annoying issue because I frequently have multiple windows opened on multiple monitors. If I close the window that has all the tabs and open a new instance of firefox, the pinned tabs disappear. Such an awfull design. The pinned tabs should replicate to all other opened windows and stay pinned until the user manually unpins them.

Other software I use show a logo in the upper left window corner or program name in the title bar or both. Firefox and MS Edge show neither. When both are open I can't tell from a glance which is which. If I remember correctly, in days gone by Firefox showed its logo in the title bar. Is there any setting to turn this on?

I have attached several screen shots to describe the problem I have been experiencing with FireFox and E-trade (only). The problem started 2 days ago.

Window 11 - current Firefox - current 128.0.3 (64-bit)

The screen error that I am getting for the last two days is shown in attch #1

Looking at attch #2, the error occurs when I select any of the optional links starting with "Chart" and all other links that follow; the 1st two links are:

"Charts" link is https://us.etrade.com/e/t/invest/wsoddirect?wsod_page=/v1/stocks/charts/charts.asp?symbol=MS "News" link is https://us.etrade.com/e/t/invest/wsoddirect?wsod_page=/v1/stocks/news/search_results.asp?symbol=MS

All other equity stock main screens have the same problem.

Googling the error presented these suggestions (but nothing fixed the problem>) In Firefox Settings I have - cleared Cookies with "All Data" - HTTPS-only Mode is"disabled"; - "Enable DNS over HTTPS" is default Protection

Not sure what else to try. No problems occur with Chrome.

Suggestions? Bob
