Hi,

I have a Mac with Sonoma. Somehow a while ago I ended up with Firefox ESR, which I was told that will not be supported after September.

I am a non-technical user. While I do have Safari and Chrome, I would prefer to continue using Firefox.

Could you please let me know the steps to execute to somehow switch from the ESR version to the current normal version without loosing settings, bookmarks or ending up with problems? Thanks in advance.

I get this sometimes when moving/backing up profile contents, even when the the eventual path of the moved contents will be shorter than the original.

I have a problematic profile, so I copied it's contents to another folder with a shorter title in the same directory, but I prevented from including the file in question.

In this particular situation, the file in question is an .html file opened in a session tab. I assume It's omission not going to be detrimental.

Has anyone seen this sort of thing occurring with files that directly affect profile operations? I'm wondering if that sort of thing might be contributing to my current recurring profile issues.

I'm writing a library that takes user submitted text and renders it in the browser, among other things.

The user may submit text that mixes lines of RTL and LTR text, and each line should be rendered in the appropriate alignment and direction.

To this end, I'm presenting text in paragraph html elements with unicode-bidi: plaintext which is intended for this behavior.

I am seeing a strange behavior where a line wrap in a single span of RTL text causes the second line to be rendered LTR. This only occurs in Firefox. I'm hoping to find a workaround or fix. Toggling the unicode-bidi attribute on the paragraph element fixes the issue, as does opening the developer console for me. Seems very erratic.

I am submitting text like this:

זוהי פסקה של טקסט. הנה קישור ראשון, זהו טקסט מילוי. הנה קישור שני, זהו טקסט מילוי. והנה קישור שלישי, זהו טקסט מילוי. Which is wrapping, and the wrapped portion is aligned left instead of right.

Hello, all:

I'm trying to figure out why my unpinned tabs I have in Firefox keeps refreshing on its own as I switch over to them as opposed to the pinned tabs which doesn't refresh on its own from time to time as I use Firefox. So, I don't know if this is due to the current version I have in mind which is 128.0.2 and don't know if this will continue as I update Firefox from time to time when I use it. Hope this is clear enough and that you have any guidelines or thoughts on how i can get around this. Thank you in advance if you share your thoughts here.

Hi. I got a new laptop some weeks ago (Linux Fedora) and I've been using Firefox without any problems until last week. When watching Youtube videos my system shell crashes completely. This problem ONLY happens with Youtube videos and Firefox. Other browsers work fine and I don't have this problem in other websites.

On different webpages i had the issue that when writing text an old, probably cashed, version of the text appears and my written text is hidden. It then raptly switches between the life and the cased version.

I have not really found a way to reproduce it only that it happens after a tab has been left in the background for some time.

Reloading does not help only opening the page in a new tab held bot only for a short amount of time. I definitively find out if add-ons affected it but it did not seam like it.

I also had similar issues on websites where you can draw, with the images flashing.

Any form of input seams to effect which version of the text is displayed.

When I am using Google sheets in Firefox, I've noticed lately that using the mouse scroll wheel causes the sheet to scroll all the way down right to the very bottom of the sheet, rather than slowly one or two lines at a time. This has started happening recently, and it doesn't happen under Chrome or Edge. What is going on?
