I have the setting browser.search.openinnewtab and also browser.urlbar.openintab both set to true, but when I type a search into either the address bar or the search bar next to it, instead of opening a new tab, it puts that search into an already-open blank tab, if one is already open.

I often use blank tabs to separate my currently open tabs into groups by topic and whatnot, so it's incredibly annoying when the search bar takes over one of my adhoc 'separators' instead of opening a new tab like I want it to.

Is there a setting to force the search bar to always open a brand new tab, even if 'new tabs' are already open??

I never feel like webpages scale properly when I visit them. There is always content left off screen or I have to zoom out so much that the text is too small to read. Is there a setting I can change to affect this?

This webpage is particularly egregious: https://www.desktopmetal.com/products/shop

My Firefox Nightly version is: 135.0a1 (2024-11-26) (aarch64). My computer is a: MacBook Air (15-inch, M2, 2023) running macOS Sequoia (Version 15.1). I have been having these issues for a long time regardless of computer.

I have attached a picture of the labs settings I have enabled but I cannot see why any of them would affect this.

Got a new W11 computer and I know I've stopped it before.

I found https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1284577 on a search, but that didn't work and the answer is archived so I can't comment on it.

Where are the valid instructions?

Also, should I undo that? What other things might that now be doing?

I've encountered a bug in Mozilla Firefox where the browser becomes unresponsive when using Solid State Drives (SSDs), specifically PCI-E 3.0 SSDs with a 960GB M.2-110mm drive https://serverorbit.com/solid-state-drives-ssd/pci-e3-0-ssd/960gb-m-2-110mm. The issue seems to occur when multiple tabs are open, and the browser struggles to keep up with the data processing. Has anyone else experienced this issue, and are there any known fixes or workarounds?

As of v133 the system color is now longer shown at the top of the page. Everything at the top is now gray which I find to be very irritating. Please return the system color functionality.

Firefox flashes a white screen when loading a new page. This is a known issue. Is there a way to make it stop?

I see numerous people looking for answers (on mozilla, on stackoverflow, on superuser, on reddit, and on mozillazine), and I see no answers that work.

Is there a solution that works?

Does anyone know why Mozilla programs this in? (Is there a way to ask Mozilla directly?)

Firefox has been the only browser for me over the years, allowing customizations that free me from the frustrations of Chrome, Safari, et al. But why this flashbang, as kartana put it on reddit?

I'm not able to open any HTTP website on firefox (desktop and mobile) and it started about 2 months ago. So, is HTTP traffic not allowed anymore? I'm able to access HTTP over chrome, edge and safari, but firefox (regular and developer edition and ios version) are not working. It keeps loading for about 5 minutes then I see "ns_error_net_reset" in the console network tab.

also, https-only-mode is set to "don't enable" in the settings

Hi,

I am having some problems going through Confluence Pages with firefox in windows. I found out that I am not the only one.

Can you check this please? https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-88208

This only happens with firefox, not with other browsers like edge, chrome, opera, vivaldi, brave...

Thanks.

After switching to Mozilla Firefox from Google chrome I am facing a issue which I cant solve. Whenever i try to send message in https://www.facebook.com/ it shows "Couldn't send". So i though it face Facebook's problem , but after trying this same in the google chrome , it was working smoothly , no issues. Please fix this

That's pretty much it. Not entire web pages but a few words up to an entire line of text rendered in such a way as to be illegible. Most frequently, it looks like letters are superimposed with other letters. But also letters can be missing (e.g. baby becomes bab) or even occasionally rendered as what look like superscripts. Oddly, if I move the cursor over the bad text, it changes to what it should be. Or sometimes I have to select the text. Very rarely, nothing fixes it. This started with a system crash recently that required rebuilding a substantial chuck of hardware and a clean reinstall of Windows. A few days ago, I also did a clean reinstall of Firefox but the problem persists.
