Oh, this is obnoxious. I don't want to use Forums or Community whatever to report this problem. UGH

It doesn't happen with Chrome, so something is wrong with Firefox. Every other update seems to break that website. Whenever I go to comment, the links don't do what they're supposed to do. When I submit a comment, Firefox just spins forever, and I refresh the page and see that my comment did indeed post. For every friggin' comment? UUUUUGH! From trying to see the Pending posts to simply clicking 'Load more comments', everything is broken in that section of articles.

I can manage to see pending posts if I toggle the 'Sort by' to something else, but I can't see all the comments because clicking on 'Load more comments' just sits there doing nothing. Sometimes there are comments and Firefox acts like there are none. I double checked by using Chrome and could see everything.

What's wrong with Firefox? It's getting so convoluted, I'm having a tough time wanting to use it anymore, and I've been using this browser for a long, long time.

I don't feel like showing any images of this, because you can't see what isn't available to be seen. Oh, and if one more green tech tells me to clear my cookies & cache, I'm going to pull the rest of my hair out, and it's hard to grab because it's disappearing on me ... hahahahaha. If that's the problem, then why don't I have to do that with Chrome? Is Firefox stepping on itself? Clearing that makes me have to login to a crap-load of websites and isn't a catch-all solution. Like the old ctrl-alt-del to fix frozen computers; BAD IDEA!

So, back in the days when I installed Firefox, it would automatically pin it to the taskbar. When I opened Firefox, the newly-opened Firefox window appeared separated from the pinned icon in the taskbar. I liked this because it allowed me to open new windows faster. Now, I had to uninstall and re-install Firefox (the last version as of today) because of some problem. Now, this separation no longer occurs. If I open Firefox, the opened window and the pinned icon in the taskbar become the same thing. How can I fix this?

I am using Windows 8 Pro btw.

I attached a screenshot to show how it looks like.

I'm really confused about how profiles and sync work together for what I assume is a pretty common use case, especially now will all the WFH. I have two devices:

1. Personal laptop 2. Work laptop

I'd like to keep my bookmarks, history, addons etc separate, but be able to access my work environment when working from home on my personal laptop. I've read a lot about profiles and sync and multi-account container but I'm still confused as to how I achieve what I'm trying to do.

Having multiple profiles on one device is straightforward. But AFAIK if I attach two profiles to the same sync account, and try to sync both between two devices, it will only sync one of the profiles (and then merge everything if I try to sync the other). And if I have two separate sync accounts (work and personal), each with a single profile, I can't switch between them without also merging everything. How does one achieve this then?

I am experiencing many times that Firefox prints garbage, not what's on the screen. To get around the problem I switch to Safari.

Is anyone aware of this or I am the only one experiencing it? Is this a known bug?

One example:

Prints little circles...

If I switch to Safari, I get on paper what I see on the screen.

Hi, is there any fix for the following? The functionality is intentional but it is absolutely maddening, so I'm hoping there is a plugin workaround or something:

> Pinned tabs are bound to a specific window, so make sure to Quit Firefox while this window is still open and do not simply close a window and leave Firefox running with the menu bar visible.

The user should never be in a position where one simple wrong move obliterates things they've saved (even if it is a recoverable situation). To say 'the user must close windows in a certain order else lose all the tabs they clearly don't want to lose' is just bizarre.

Dear Community,

Can you help?

Suddenly, about two or three weeks ago, it ceased to be possible for me to copy images from websites and paste them into Skype to share.

What is the reason for this?

Is it because Microsoft have somehow blocked this function into Skype?

Does anybody know?

Thank you for your help and best wishes

Over the last couple months I've noticed that the tweet notifications that I receive from Tweetdeck and surfaced on Firefox don't resolve to the correct Twitter account. When I click on the notification popup they go to an account named @tweet "account: https://twitter.com/tweet?id=1536430888661053441&cxt=HCwWgsCjyZfwv9IqAAAA" most of the time. This used to work flawlessly up to a couple months ago. I'm not sure what's going on here, whether it is a Tweetdeck/Twitter issue or Firefox issue. Anyone else experiencing this?

Hello all, I have searched everywhere and tried all the suggestions but being a little visual challenged I have a terrible time viewing all this light grey txt I'm getting on the newer Firefox. Some versions back I could just install a windows classic theme that replaced everything and made txt easy to read, but today that theme no longer works due to Firefox updates. Yes I can use a High Contrast theme that helps some but it looks Butt Ugly and is annoying. I'm sure a lot of other folks are having this problem from all the messages I'm reading about the problem. Is there a sure way to get BLACK text on my screen? If not maybe it's time that Firefox gets an update that fixes this issue. I would appreciate any help you folks can give me. Regards,

This questions has been around awhile and answered a couple of times but I still have the problem even after using all correction methods previously submitted to this question. I can load the Fifth Third Bank site (53.com) but cannot sign on; I get the usual "OOPS" message with the number to call Fifth Third Technical Support. I called their support and the first question they asked is what browser I'm using. After responding that Firefox was my browser, they told me that everyone who uses Firefox is having problems. They contend there is nothing on their end causing the problem and that since users of other browsers were not having problems that the only solution they could offer was to switch to Edge or Chrome. That's ridiculous! What is causing this problem? I do not want to move to either Chrome or Edge!
