For a few months now I've been having issues uploading firmware files to my QNAP server's website. I was trying to update the firmware, but it wouldn't allow the file to even be uploaded. Would just get a general "error" with no help.

This past week a started having issues with 7digital.com not allowing me to download zipped music files. It kept giving an error about the oauth token not being passed through. (Error: Authorization failed for method <GET> and URL <http://media.geo.7digital.com/media/user/download/release>. Missing oauth_consumer_key)

Finally figured out that this is only happening in Firefox, Brave browser and other Chrome based browsers don't have the issue.

I've tried turning off the tracking and download protection in settings, but it didn't help. So, what's causing it?

Using Firefox 128.0.3 (64-bit) on Linux (NixOS).

I know it may sound a bit strange, but I would like to know WHY an extension is not allowed in a private window, so I might understand the reason why I'm not able to diagnose an issue I'm having with fucking amazon who has their cart all over the place for a misconfiguration in firefox that either I did or an extension is causing, however I'm unable to figure out which because I can't enable extensions in private windows, where the issue does not happen, so I'm not able to reproduce and isolate the problem. Specifically, this article: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/extensions-private-browsing Plus, I was kinda expecting I could run STG in private too, since it offer such nice and rich grouping and memory management features vanilla FF does not (PS: please take inspiration and bake it inside!!) Thanks in advance.

Version 128.0.3 (64-bit) What’s new Mozilla Firefox for Linux Mint

When I visit a page which contains a Google Doc spreadsheet or try to open a Google Spreadsheet the page often fails to render properly and what I see is my desktop background instead of the Google doc element or Google doc sheet. Please see attached. This has been happening for ages and I resorted back to Chrome for such pages but now I'd like to see if it can be resolved.

HelIo the Firefox team, I use Mackbook Pro, while Firefox is my favorite browser. Recently, I encounter an unpleasant and annoying SPONTANEOUS zoom-in and out in pages. It makes browsing impossible and prompts me to go for another browser. May it be a virus? How to solve this? It's really intolerable. Thank you in advance. Yigal.

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.

It's hard to describe what I mean without an example. I type "tart" into the search bar, and instead of the recently visited Wikipedia page on tarts, the autofill suggestions are full of pages in my history with "start" or "starter" in the title, or even in the URL but not the title. Is there any way to change it so the suggestions only contain the exact words I've typed?

Dear Sir or Madam,

I have spent several hours trying to troubleshoot Firefox slowing my CPU/mouse cursor but have found no solution. I have only three tabs open and Firefox is taking nearly a GIGABYTE OF MEMORY! This is ridiculous and totally inefficient.

I made Firefox my main browser for faster loading times, which are faster, but then it trashes my efficiency by making my mouse cursor jump all over the place, lag, etc. I have 32gb of memory and a decently fast Ryzen CPU from only a few years ago. Gaming rig.

It makes no sense that Firefox slows down my Windows experience.

Please fix! I should not have to go through a bunch of troubleshooting actions to make Firefox not slow my PC down. I have seen many users complaining of the same issue.

Please fix.

Sincerely, McKay

If an URL already have many tags or longish tags I can no longer see suggested tags when starting to type tags. Image example illustrates. This URL already have the following tag list:

1942, Air_Ministry, boost, cruise, memorandum, MP, rpm, Spitfire, Spitfire_MkIX, Spitfire_MkV, Spitfire_MkVI

Old behavior was if started to type ", spi" it would list suggestions:

Spitfire Spitfire_MkIX Spitfire_MkV Spitfire_MkVI

Easy & clear to select from.

Now it lists all already existing tags before each suggestion:

1942, Air_Ministry, boost, cruise, memorandum, MP, rpm, Spitfire, Spitfire_MkIX, Spitfire_MkV, Spitfire_MkVI,Spitfire 1942, Air_Ministry, boost, cruise, memorandum, MP, rpm, Spitfire, Spitfire_MkIX, Spitfire_MkV, Spitfire_MkVI, Spitfire_MkIX 1942, Air_Ministry, boost, cruise, memorandum, MP, rpm, Spitfire, Spitfire_MkIX, Spitfire_MkV, Spitfire_MkVI,Spitfire_MkV 1942, Air_Ministry, boost, cruise, memorandum, MP, rpm, Spitfire, Spitfire_MkIX, Spitfire_MkV, Spitfire_MkVI, Spitfire_MkVI

Suggestions are scrolled right invisible outside the input box.

Who thought this was a good new feature? It adds nothing, I can already see existing tags, why would I want to see them repeated for each new suggested tag (while not actually seeing the suggested new tag)?

How can I turn this *!$&@! off and return to old behavior?

Tell me how to fix the problem I described. I'm using Linux Mint Cinnamon (21.3) on my two Dell Latitude laptops (E6420 & E6430) Another question regarding the Firefox browser is how to contact a insecure web site manager that I have no telephone number for. I shouldn't end the sentence that way.
