What does the following error message mean and how can the problem be corrected?

XUL Runner Error platform version '129.01' is not compatible with minVersion>=129.0 maxVersion<=129.0

Thank you.

I noticed today that there's a small blue cube appears at the tip of the mousecursor inside a firefox window , I guess it's some keyboard shortcut I accidentally activated but can't find any info on where to disable

So, I'm switching from Chrome and there's this one thing I can't seem to be able to replicate in firefox.

When I start my day I usually open several tabs from different pages of the same website. In Chrome, I would do that by: -typing the name of the website in my address bar -all the pages I frequently visited in that website show in my suggestions -I middlemouse-click all of them, one after the other -this opens one new tab for all of them -I then switch to those tabs and browse them

However, replicating this in firefox seems impossible. When middle-mouse-clicking the 1st link, I would have my window forcibly switch to it, not letting me open the other tabs without changing tabs again. Recently I learned I can avoid this forced switch by middle-mouse-clicking the URL on my address bar while holding shift, which is great! . . . Except it still closes my address bar, not letting me click the other ones without having to type the website's name in it again.

I don't mind holding shift (though I wish I didn't have to) but I really just want to middle mouse click multiple links in my address' suggestion bar and open them in succession, without shifting back to it after each time.

129.0.1 is not compatible with.... minimum version >= 129.0 maximum version >= 129.0

NEED TO KNOW: If I have to uninstall /reinstall, how do I protect my 1) bookmarks & folders 2) settings 3) add-on's

My computer has been warning me of low memory. Might that be causing or affect this?

When I am on the Facebook app, after a while I have to sign in again, starting a question about accepting cookies. Also when I have started Firefox and I click on Facebook I have to sign-in again, before I clicked on Facebook and it was there. Can you please help me?

Cannot access local address 192.168.1.1 which is the address of the GUI interface to my ISP Gateway settings menu. I need it to be able to make changes to the Gateway settings.

I use to get displayed "Advanced" that allowed me to continue forward to get to an "insecure site", only recently that has not been happening (so I am stuck).

Any suggestions, advice, and/or workarounds are appreciated.

Thanks ~Bill

I try to login to My Virgin Media. Enter my email address - OK. Virgin checks and then asks for password. Enter password, chek it is correct and press sign in. Absolutley NOTHING HAPPENS. O Google Chrome this dadta logs me in immediately. HELP

I have had this CPU for 8 months. I have had issues from day 1 with the stock Fedora install of Firefox where text is missing and some green and/or pink boxes appear where the text boxes should be. This has happened with all versions up to 129.0.

This has only been happening with Firefox. Vscodium, (chrome based) Brave and every other Wayland application including foot and freecad render correctly. it is only firefox and only firefox with this GPU. If I run Firefox under qemu without eGL then the rendering is good. If I run it under qemu and enable the virtioGL driver I get the same issue.

I attach a sample of a screen shot that shows that was captured from the frame buffer. In the bottom left corner, you can see quite a few characters missing.

I have seen other issues that say that it is a hardware problem, but I am not convinced. This happened with mesa-24.2.0. Find the glewinfo attached below: (Glewinfo log is very long, uploaded to Pastebin for better viewing) https://pastebin.com/raw/1NMnAjmc

I upgraded my version of Firefox from an ESR version to v129.0.1 on Debian 12. Drag and drop of files from the desktop or the file manager (PCManFM-Qt) into the browser stopped working. It is still working properly in Chrome.

This occurs with several web apps but, as an example, it occurs when trying to drag a jpeg into Roundcube Webmail while composing a message.

No browser console errors are genrated when trying to do this. It occurs in Troubleshooting (safe) mode as well. In apps that pop-up a "Drag files here" target, that target still appears but dropping the file on it does nothing.

G'Day!

I've been having issues with media playback on firefox.

Almost any video source that isn't from youtube cannot play in firefox, giving the error: "No Video with supported format and MIME type found"

Testing the same video on Chromium has no problems.

Using Fedora Linux on an AMD system. And Fedora Flatpak build.

System specs below if required.

Any idea to get this up and running would be really appreciated. I think I already installed the propriety media codecs for fedora since the problem isn't showing up on chromium it looks like a firefox issue.

I came here to open a subject that I will address later, but the situation I just encountered here may be related in some way.

I clicked "Ask a Question" here, after which and the page opened to this.

I did not upload the two "uploaded" images you see at the bottom to this thread. They were actually used in my previous post, but immediately upon opening this post, they were already there.

I cleared cache and cookies, relaunched, but they still remain.

BTW. wasn't there a "Preview Post" option here before? Not now, at least for me.

EDIT: Now, after I just posted, the "Preview" button is there. But why, if there is no reply to preview? It's still not here in "edit" mode.

Most tabs that I open now crash. This has been a steadily building problem that now has made the system basically unusable. I did try clearing history, cookies, etc., but that did not help. Even working tabs can crash when I go back to view them. It doesn't matter if it is a saved site, or a brand new one typed in.

I started this thread because I believe it may be related to these problems/failures I'm having with exporting /importing Bookmarks, uploading images (on this site and elsewhere), which has also on occasion led to crashing my pc. Images from my previous thread auto-uploaded to this thread. I felt it might be better to separate the conversations until we get motre info.

Thru trial and error, it seems all these symptoms I will describe seem to be linked to my sessionstore.jsonlz4 file.

About six months ago I was having major problems with Firefox, navigation issues, broken toolbar buttons, blank toolbar button spots. I first tried to revert to a good working backup profile, which was fine until I did the file transfers from the problem profile to the backup, after which all the symptoms resurfaced in the backup profile. . I do what I always do by transferring certain files, but only those that make the transition without creating problems/conflicts; sessionstore.jsonlz4; places, cookies, etc.

I eventually chose to build a fresh profile, but the same problems occurred after the file transfer. Thru trial and error, I discovered that sessionstore.jsonlz4 was the root of the problems. I eventually went back and used the sessionstore.jsonlz4 from the backup file, but it was a real ordeal getting my session back up to date.

A couple weeks ago I started having problem here uploading images. I would select the file, but nothing would happen, and I was getting all these strange side effects.

But a few days later, Once again, I swapped out the profiles, these sorts of things started happening is what started happening when I tired to export/import bookmarks

link text

If I move the cursor over the top of the screen, a bit more appears

link text

I'm writing in the backup profile now, because trying to upload from here or from Postimage, generates only these,

link text

or various distortions, i.e., but no ability to go any further in the process

link text

I didn't have any problem transferring the history, cookies, or bookmarks to this backup profile, but how do I go about fixing this without sacrificing the session. Is there a way to import only the session tabs without bringing in the corrupting elements?

BTW, still no "Preview Post" link on this page unless I submit this message first.

Hi,

It's been a while since this problem first occurred but I am now very sure that this is about Firefox and not about graphics driver. This happens both when the hardware acceleration is turned on and turned off.

When I open a website that has mainly images or videos, the browser goes blitz (Reddit, Twitch, etc.). Screen splits to multiple views, it starts flickering and continues until I switch to another tab or quit Firefox. For flickering to stop, I need to restart the computer. I can also send a video if you can communicate a proper way of sharing. (Drive link, youtube, etc.)

Is there any way I can ensure Firefox does not break things on my computer?

Thanks

Hi there,

I'm new here so please bear with me if I've posted in the wrong place or have missed something obvious.

I running Windows 10, fully updated, on a laptop. I have been using Firefox browser now for many years, suits my needs and avoid's using Goolges Chrome. My Firefox was updated a in the last few days and it shows as up to date on Version 129.0.1 64bit.

I noticed late last night that when opening a fresh window and enter a search term in either the address bar or the Google search bar, my usual choice of search engine, I hit return and nothing happens. Any text I've input disappears totally. Not at all sure what's going on but have found that if I open a new private window Firefow will act as I'd expect without any issues.

I have two other browsers on my laptop, Edge and also Avast's own offering which both work as expected when I enter a search term. Have never experienced this before with the exception of years ago when malware protection wasn't great. It almost seems as though something is just stopping Firefox from searching anything I enter. I can use the bookmarks just fine and then everything works as usual.

Yesterday I thought that maybe following the new windows culmulative updates I was offered and apparently installed just fine, that I needed to restart which a tried and I thought it had cured the issue. Seems that it hasn't and still having the same issue.

Any idea's or thought's on what the cause of this is?
