I’m using Mozilla Firefox to develop Career websites similar to CareerBands.com and TopResumes.com

I frequently have the problem of accidentally detaching tabs when I am trying to drag them left and right to reorder them. The interface seems more sensitive than I would like. The unwanted detaching of tabs happens to me many times a day and is jarring and causes me to lose a lot of time trying to put the tabs back. I would like the interface to be less sensitive, i.e. to make me drag it much farther up or down in order to detach the tab. If the feature to fine-tune the sensitivity of the tab-break-off is not implemented, I want the ability to turn it off, so that I can reorder tabs by dragging them left and right without having to worry about them detaching.

I searched and found an 8-year-old request from another user for the same thing, and it had been closed, and linking the user to third-party extensions adding this functionality. However, the extensions were not monitored by Mozilla for security.

This was a non-solution to me. I want this solution either to be built-into the browser, or to be offered in an extension that is monitored for security by the official team.

I have faced lots of times this problem. When I go to visit any new tab or new site in Google then captcha comes in front of me, after that, I fill in the captcha but the problem is not solved, it will take 15-20 minutes to go to my visiting pages, it's too much time-consuming. Please solve this problem.

I just purchased and installed a new laptop. Firefox started this irritating thing that when I'm on the edge of the browser and click, it expands or when I click on the resize square, it gives me about 6 options to choose from instead of one like changing from full page to my set size and back. I have seached google up and down and there must be a setting somewhere even in About: config to turn this option OFF and not have to continue to go through multiple browers with each click

After 129.0 update, Hulu streaming quit working. I have other streaming services that still work fine. I tried it on older version of Firefox 115.14.0esr (64bit) (old pc Win 8.1) and it works fine there. Can I go back to an older version of Firefox or is this a known issue with update?

This is the issue, Hulu website loads and allows you to log in. When you try to stream a show, it plays a commercial then freezes.

Here's an answer that has not been shared in the Original Question of the same name.

Background: Starting today, I'm receiving an error message with accessing x.com and the x.com thread has been locked. The error message is "Firefox’s Enhanced Tracking Protection (Strict Mode) is known to cause issues on x.com". I've done all of the troubleshooting steps on the original question link and nothing worked.

However, @jsher2000 asked a very good question: Can you access a direct link to a user page such as

https://x.com/mozilla

Well, the answer was no, but I did notice one item: the URL was: https://x.com/?failedScript=vendor, so it looked like x was generating the error.

I then turned off NoScript for the tab and nothing. Turned off uBlock Origin and it started working. Turn uBlock Origin back on, it fails again. Disabled and it worked. Turned NoScript back on, no change, still worked. In the end, on uBlock Origin, the site "edgecastcdn.net" was blocked. Enabling that site allowed me to turn uBlock Origin back on.

Ever since Facebook started infesting the chats with end-to-end encryption (random chats get "Messenger upgraded the security of this chat. Messages and calls are secured with end-to-end encryption" without my permission or asking if I want this), any encrypted chats have audio and video calls disabled. I note that I have ONE friend for whom it didn't do this, I can still do calls with her. If I receive a call, I get a pop-up saying that to receive this call I must download the Messenger app (no way) or a browser which supports it. If I check what browsers it thinks supports this, it only lists Chrome and Edge. As far as I know Edge is just Internet Explorer renamed, the biggest black hole in security, I've never touched it. Chrome ignores industry standards, so I don't use it. Making Firefox the best, top browser available. It's the only browser I wish to use. Mozilla needs to look into how to get Facebook to stop blacklisting Firefox like this. Note that this E2EE garbage has only been infecting things for the last few months, before that I was perfectly able to do any calls I wished in Facebook Messenger.

Hello Mozilla community,

I'm encountering a perplexing issue with Mozilla Firefox that I hope someone here can help me with. Whenever I set Mozilla Firefox as my default browser, I experience difficulties accessing my website. The site continuously buffers but never fully loads, leaving me unable to view its content when i click on (How I Sleep at Night Knowing I’m Failing All My Cl – Tymoff).

However, when I switch to a different browser as my default, such as Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge, the website loads without any issues. This leads me to believe that the problem might be specific to Mozilla Firefox.

I've tried troubleshooting by clearing the browser cache, disabling extensions, and even reinstalling Firefox, but the problem persists. I've also checked for any errors in the browser console, but nothing seems out of the ordinary.

Could there be any compatibility issues between my website and Mozilla Firefox that are causing this problem? Or is there something else I should investigate to resolve this issue?

Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your assistance!

Firefox is very slow in loading, it can take up to 5 mins. This has now stated to happen each time I turn on my PC. When it has loaded it randomly freezes and does not respond. This is now becoming more often. Can you please help and advise what I can do to correct these problems. Thank you.

Hi All,

I'm using Firefox on 24 PC's in a primary school computer Lab, I have had reports of students installing extensions and plugins that i wish to stop, also i've had issues with students not signing out of their email and other students gaining access.

Im looking for solutions for the following and was hoping someone could point me in the right direction -

1. Disabling the installations of extensions and plugins. 2. Clearing browsing history/logging out of any accounts. 3. Locking settings so students can't change settings.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Adam

After last update, when I open the bookmark sidebar (CTRL+B) and change its size (width), and then close Firefox, sidebar's width change to previous size.

How to fix it?

Hi Firefox Community,

I'm experiencing an issue with my website, https://letmewatchthiss.com/, specifically on the Firefox browser. While the site functions correctly across other browsers, it's not reloading properly in Firefox.

Issue Description: Website URL: https://letmewatchthiss.com/ Problem: The site reloads inconsistently or fails to load entirely on Firefox. Affected Browsers: Firefox (issue does not appear in Chrome, Edge, or Safari).

Steps Taken:

• Cleared Firefox cache and cookies.
• Checked for any extensions that might be causing conflicts.
• Verified that the issue persists across multiple devices running Firefox.

What I Need Help With:

Suggestions: Any advice on potential fixes or troubleshooting steps specific to Firefox. Insights: If there are known issues or recent updates that might be affecting Firefox compatibility. Any help or insights would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Best regards,

Westpac keep telling me it is the fault of my browser. While I was trying safe mode, deleting the cookies and cache etc. I came across this bit of odd information -

https://assets-prod.sumo.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/media/uploads/images/2024-08-08-01-10-24-eb9193.png

Westpac have been telling me for two months that it is Firefox's fault, but I don't see how, given that it has always worked before. Finding this data makes me think the problem is Westpac's fault but they just keep saying the same old thing - use another browser. Well I don't want to! I have visual difficulties and my Firefox is heavily customised to account for that.

What is actually happening is that when I enter my information on the log In Page: https://banking.westpac.com.au/wbc/banking/handler?TAM_OP=login&logout=false then click on the sign in button the screne goes white like it is going to log in and then the sign in page comes back up without the information I had entered.

Is there any thing you can do to help me?

Yours Sincerely, Ms Jacq Felis.

Dear FireFox,

Christian greetings in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

I wrote you last night requesting assistance. My FireFox does not display images off-Line.

Today I received the following pop up Message:

"Some pictures have been blocked to help present the sender from identifying your computer. Open this item to view the pictures".

Done that and it makes no difference. I am a Christian Minister with nothing to hide. Our Church computer contains the material listen on our Church Website.

This a recent difficulty. Please assist.

Please visit www.http://biblebelievers.au/nl1297.htm or any of almost 2,000 other teaching sermons, Newsletters, ebooks or other files with images. They ALL display with FireFox on-line but NOT off-line, however thew will display off-line on Edge and Google Chrome.

Today I received a pop-up notice stating:

"Some pictures have been blocked to help prevent the sender from identifying your computer. Open this item to view the pictures."

It STILL blocks the images. I, ME, and MYSELF need to view the images as I write and code the pages.

There is NOTHING wrong with the images, it id FireFox that is causing the problem on non-display off-line. I have the latest FireFox, It has ALWAYS displayed images off-line because ALL of the images are on the Church Website. And yes, I use WIN 10 O/S. AND Microsoft Defender Software visits the Church computer every day-or-so.

May God bless you for assisting me.

Yours sincerely in the love and service of our Lord Jesus Christ.
