Hi there,

I am using Fennec from F-Droid (build 1340020). I noticed that many Brahmic scripts on webpages are shown as boxes. I don't recall seeing this in early versions maybe years ago.

Notably all major scripts in India like Devanagari, Tamil, Telugu can not be rendered. However, Odia and Sinhala scripts are shown fine. Outside India, Tibetan script cannot be rendered either. However, SEA scripts like Thai, Burmese are fine.

Moreover, if I copy these boxes to the search bar, the actual content can be shown. The tab view can also show the title of the webpage correctly in Bramic scripts. And if I change the locale in the settings, the UI of Fennec app can also properly display the scripts.

To further debug, I went to the about:config and search for fonts. Unlike western or CJK scripts, the value of font.default of Bramic scripts is serif rather than san-serif. The default value of font.name-list of these Bramic scripts are just Noto Sans or Noto Serif. I tried to switch between serif and san-serif but got no luck.

I was wondering how to fix this issue. Thanks!

I used this a lot, but now cannot find it on any toolbar. I've added no software or made any changes in the interim. I was hospitalized from 1/10 to 1/31, and didn't use my computer in that period. I updated Firefox, and still can't find the control.

Recently when I try to go to several websites I get a variation of this message below. I usually have to wait 2-3 days before I can try and open that link again. Why is this happening? This is for sites like NYTimes.com, Etsy.com, and more.

You have been blocked. Why? Something about the behaviour of the browser has caught our attention. There are various possible explanations for this:

   You are browsing and clicking at a speed much faster than expected of a human being.
   Something is preventing JavaScript from working on your computer.
   There is a robot on the same network (IP address is here) as you.

The Thought-Provoking Stories' has gray bars and a horizontal moving vertical bar in every story box and no stories. How do I add the stories to those boxes? I don't see any info. on how to add those. Thank You.

I seem to have an intermittent issue on a laptop with webpages not updating after the initial load if there is more to load.

To give an example, if I go to https://www.milkandmore.co.uk/dairy/c/yoghurt on the laptop, most of the time, it will only display 12 of the 26 items and not show the rest when I scroll down.

Works fine in chrome and edge though and when I scroll down to the 12th item, it loads up the rest every time. It will do so intermittently on firefox.

Hope that's explained alright.

Firefox is up to date. Tried disabling autoscroll and smooth scrolling but no joy.

I would like to be able to view "only on" email inbox at a time (not the unified) inbox.

This is in my Thunderbird email.

Desktop works this way and is great.

Why there aren’t “mobile screen” or “desktop screen” hold option? I using Firefox focus with iPad mini. Sometimes This iPads screen need hold desktop site or mobile site.

Firefox has a very useful page called Protections Dashboard. However I have noticed that when I clear out Firefox's history (which I do periodically) it will also erase all the data at the Protections Dashboard. Is there a way to configure Firefox so that I can clear out the browser history and still retain the data at Protections Dashboard?

So when I installed Firefox for iOS (to go with my Firefox desktop browser), it always requested desktop sites. At first I thought it was just a gimmick. All browsers have one. Chrome has the gimmick of sending your info to who knows, and Edge has the gimmick of being stuck on Windows 11 and having an ad blocker on mobile. But it got annoying and I don’t think it’s supposed to do this. PLEASE HELP!

The help on this is either dated or just flat wrong. The image does not show iPasOS 18.3’s multi-window support.

Would work with an update to an image for the look of the multiwindows support on recent versions of iPadOS **IF** you do not already have a second FireFox window open. If you do, splitting the screen and the clicking on the FireFox icon merely opens that second, existing, FireFox window

The only way that I can get a new window is to use an external keyboard to type Command N
