If watching any video in full screen, upon restoring Firefox back to "normal view" the entire program changes its position on my monitor. In regular mode (IE; not full screen) the position of the program on the screen - flush with my top and bottom panels - but NOT full screen is unaffected when closing and re-opening Firefox. The change in screen position is only when going from full screen view to non-full screen mode. OS: Ubuntu MATE 22.04.4 LTS 64 bit Firefox Ver: 115.14.0 ESR 64bit

Hopefully someone can help. I will post this in the Ubuntu MATE community forum as well.

Cheers.

How to KEEP Firefox from REVERTING Alt bringing up main menu

See this topic: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1278533#question-reply

Pressing Alt in Firefox in Linux (Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Linux Mint 22.xx) brings up a top menu, which is hugely annoying as I'm always trying to to a window action if I'm pressing Alt.

The suggested solution is to go to about:config and change ui.key.menuAccessKeyFocuses to "false".

But this keeps reverting itself. (Between every other reboot?). Alt will again bring up this menu.

How can I permanently disable this shortcut?

Hi everyone,

I recently updated my macOS to Ventura 13.6.9 along with updating to the newest Firefox Nightly; now whenever I try to launch Firefox, it just hangs and will never load the start page. If I give it about 5-10 minutes, it will eventually load the favorites bar, and then when I click into the address bar to type, it hangs again. If I give it another few minutes, I can type but hitting enter/return, nothing happens.

If I restart my MBP and hold shift to boot into safe mode, Firefox loads perfectly fine with no issues or hangs at all. I'm just not sure what is different that would be causing it to hang when booting into regular mode?

I saved the Apple crash report to see if that's any help for diagnosing the issue, here's a link to the .txt file - https://file.io/ZRVgd3A8jzoA

If there's anything else I can provide that would help, please let me know!

Thanks all!

I got a new Macbook Pro recently and set it up by basically copying my iMac onto it. All works great. Except that the MBP doesn't show up with it's synced open taps on my iMac or my iphone. The iMac doens't show up on the MBP either.

Have I maybe copied some setting that makes the two machines (iMAc and MBP) thinkt they're one and the same? How can I "separate" the devices so that they show up in each other's Synced Tabs lists, respectively?

This morning, for the first time, I closed my Firefox browser and a whole new page showed up, mostly advertising from rightdailyfeed.com -- I didn't request this and I don't want to see it again. Did Firefox impose this content on me without asking my permission? The site I had been using was https://news.google.com/topstories; did they do this to me? How do I prevent another such intrusion of such garbage?

My email application is zmailcloud.com from Cloudiance. It has worked fine for me for years using Firefox. However, in the last week or so, when I open an email message, I cannot see anything but empty "From"and To" fields. Nothing is in the body of the message, either (see attached screenshot). But, if I open a reply or forward message, everything in the original message appears normal (see other screenshot). This problem does not occur using Micrsoft Edge, only Firefox. Anyone have any suggestions???

Until a few days ago (circa 8/8/24 ?) Google Translate worked perfectly via Firefox browser.

The same Google Translate session could be left open all day and used for multiple translations, reversing translation direction, copy/pasting into the 'source' language box or typing directly into the source language box ... whatever ... it all worked fine.

Now? I open a Google Translate in a new tab (usually English-> Thai or Thai -> English)

The FIRST translation works fine!

Any subsequent change to the same tab produces a 'Translation error' or sometimes the translation just hangs. Closing that tab and opening a new tab for Google Translate (and copy/pasting same text into it) works fine first time, but then fails on any subsequent change in exactly the same way!

Opening Google Translate in a Chrome window right next to Firefox and pasting exactly the same text into it works perfectly and the Chrome window works perfectly all day.

Looks like my Firefox version 129.0 has been stable for a while.

Is it possible Google changed something recently that now makes it difficult for Firefox to play with it?

Hey! In order to improve my workflow on MacOS which has menu bar item search (through the "Help" menu item or through external programs), I want to be able to add custom items to the list of menu items.

Some of the things I'm missing from other browsers: - Pin tab item in menu bar - Search open tabs in menu bar

I am aware that keyboard shortcuts exist, but I'm leaning more towards a command palette for my workflow.
