After a cat attack on the keyboard, Firefox is not allowing the site-specific fonts to be selected, instead over-riding with the generic font. The site is displayed correctly in ALL other browsers, including Safari, Opera, and Chrome, and in the editing app., BBEDIT. There is some fundamental font over-ride that is happening ONLY in Firefox. How to correct this?

There were changes made to how a search is performed. When searching the cursor moves into the address bar versus the center of the page where initiated. The below suggestion was made to resolve which works in regular view, however, it does not stick in a private window. Is there a solution for private view please?

Suggested solution in normal view does not work in private window

(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button accepting the risk.

(2) In the search box in the page, type or paste handoff and pause while the list is filtered

(3) Double-click the browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.improvesearch.handoffToAwesomebar preference to switch the value from true to false

If I made changes like, making the duration of unloading tabs to be 1 minute and turn ON the unloading tab feature, it still doesn't respond to any changes made to the browser. SmoothScrolling when changed in about:config won't work too.

Hello!

I'm a student trying to maximize the apps I already have for digital note taking and a very useful tool I found was Firefox's PDF viewer.

I write my notes digitally with a Wacom Intuos CTL-4100 and noticed that writing using the built-in draw tool and the Wacom pen resulted in the curves being replaced by loops. (see picture attached) On other apps such as OneNote and Medibang, this doesn't occur.

I've attached screenshots of my settings on the Wacom Tablet Properties app for reference. The screenshot may show that I have two monitors but this happens on either one.

Why does this happen and is there anything I can do to fix this?

Thank you!

Like many others, I have used Firefox for a long, long time. Today (2/14/2023) is the last straw. I installed the latest upgrade and now my Bookmarks are all gone. When I say all gone, I mean "all gone." There is no backup, no previous dates, no nothing. I tried all the suggested by Firefox in the pages of the website. No help. And this is not an isolated instance. For the past several upgrades, many such issues have occurred with great frequency.

This time, my layouts were gone, my toolbar icons were gone - not even in the "Customize" option. This is ridiculous and it is getting quite tiring. I'm not sure what the criteria is for developers, but it seems like some of the open source resources could be saboteurs even though that sounds far-fetched.

For Mozilla, it boils down to this: either stop this problem so that it doesn't repeat or I (no doubt along with many others) will find it simple enough to relocate to another browser; maybe with fewer features but absolutely with fewer frustrations and difficulties.

I would prefer that Mozilla fix the situation permanently, but I am not averse to seeking simplicity and performance.

Get bookmarks search to display matching folders as well as bookmarks

The native FF bookmarks search function only returns bookmarks that match the search term. How can I get it to also return folders that match? That is, if my bookmarks contain both a folder and a page whose name includes the word "climate", I need it to show me both of them when I search on "climate". Right now, that search returns only the page. Is there a setting or something that will make it return both?

The "Bookmark Search Plus 2" add-on does return both folders and pages. But it has another limitation: It doesn't have an "Edit Folder" or an "Edit Bookmark" function. So if I want to find a folder with search and then edit its name, I can't do it with either the add-on or the native bookmarks browser.

Version: 109.0.1

Can someone please confirm that these 2 glitches are 'known' and, further, will be fixed in the next update:

-The inability to 'copy and paste' 'certain' URLs from one URL field to another field from Firefox To Opera (but copying and pasting Opera to Firefox works fine).

-The inability to type a capital letter in the Craigslist search box. even though it can be typed in the URL field.

  • Cookies have been cleared, the page has been refreshed, the browser has been closed (and re-opened), and the computer rebooted but the above issues remain.

I use firefox as my browser and to operate my 3d printers web interface, on my local network

with firefox the data that the printers display is very slow to update, for example if i input a movement command of say 10mm firefox takes at least a few second to display the number that corresponds to the movement change, its definitely firefox as opening the very same machine and sending machine commands in any other browser does not result in a data lag.

Only in Firefox browser, I login to things like Facebook with my username and it says I don't exist with that username. Multiple good accounts are doing this. I open Explorer and the same account works with the same password. Open on phone works beautifully.

Had reinstalled Firefox after harddrive repaced. But it was doing it. Refreshed Firefox. Thought it would solve. Didn't.

Help.
