Hi, I have an HTML page - currently on the desktop PC - that contains a few graphics (they relate to IPA sounds) and a bit of javascript which will make the sounds play when the user mouses-over the graphic, and stop on mouse-out. The script uses <embed> tags. I know these arent favoured but I think they should still work, as they have in the past, so the script itself is fine. But there is no sound (obviously I have checked the src is correct and made sure the speakers are on and working. They are.) W10, FF ver 128.6.0esr (64-bit)

Hello,

If the phone is not used for a while, it takes a very long time to open a page in Firefox. The bar immediately goes to about 25% and hangs. When it finally starts, it works. Sometimes it hangs during use, but usually the problem occurs after a long period of inactivity.

What I do know:

• The problem does not occur with any other browser or application.
• The problem occurs on different smartphones from different manufacturers running different versions of Android.
• Deleting and reinstalling Firefox cleanly (without any add-ons) does not help.
• Same problem over Wi-Fi as over cellular.
• Turning Firefox off and on again usually does not help.

I installed Waterfox and for a while there was no problem at all. Then it appeared. I noticed that at least in Waterfox, the problem does not occur in private mode.

This is an unresolved issue that has been discussed before. https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1416241

I need a default search string in order to add Firefox as a search option. Directions on the app advise how to add a search option, but a default search string is required and I haven't been able to figure out what use. https://firefox.com/search is the best I can guess. Any help for an old man is appreciated.

I use wiktionary a lot on my phone. When I'm looking for a Word, the Wiktionary search bar offers suggestions while typing. However, when I try to select one of the suggestions (since this would be much easier than completing the word I've been typing) the dropdown suggestions box disappears. (Firefox for Android. Phone Samsung S22, Android 14, OneUi 6.1, Firefox 134.0.1) I have no idea whether this is an issue about how Wiktionary is coded, or how Firefox works, or about Android os but in any case I'm weary of this and I'm considering installing another browser on my phone just for wiktionary. I've been using Firefox since the beginning I guess, and since I don't want to use any other browser I hope this issue is resolved as soon as possible.

When will Firefox add Save Page button? Lots of small browsers has that for decades. It helps a lot to save WebPage and view them Offline by oppening the app then browse to saved pages. That fast and easy.

Extension to SaveWeb takes a lot of time and need to open another app to view them.

It's not that they are not in my Firefox downloads manager, which I expected. It's that I confirmed before closing my private browsing window that they were in my Downloads folder on my C drive, and when I went back after closing the private browsing window they were gone. Under "recent files" in my file browser it showed a couple of the most recent downloads and when I tried to click to open them it said they had been moved or deleted. Entering the first couple words of the file titles in the search bar in my file browser yields absolutely nothing.

This was over 30 files or so. It will be really irritating to try to find and download all of them again. Does anyone know of any way for me to get them back???

When filling out an online form I sometimes need to switch to another app to get info. E.g. to find my bank account number.

However when I return back to Firefox the form often clears it even disappears and Firefox takes me to back to the previous page meaning I have to start again.

This is annoying if I only need one piece of info as I can cut and paste it but if I need two it makes it impossible to complete the form

Is there a setting I need to change?

On the latest Firefox Nightly builds (I use Nightly for extensions), holding the back button in the Android navigation bar no longer brings up previous pages, like it does when holding the back button in the three dot menu. Is there a config option to bring this back?

I am not able to download videos from Facebook or you tube to my desktop while using Firefox. My default is Klite standard worked as of yesterday not all i see is the icon for klite standard not the video it self. and i do not see it in the application on the generals tab. it is messed up i even tried windows media player and that as well did not work. all the video download fail . so meting is very wrong. I even re installed firefox and that did not help. i will try and explain this better. when i go to you tube and try and down load a video to my desktop using Fire fox all i see is the out line of the video the video does not come up. see the attachmentsbold text

We have an application running on Firefox and noticed that with new Firefox ESR, Ajax call (XMLHttpRequest ) from js script running on Firefox browser on thin clients seems to be blocked frequently (same call succeed most of the time, but blocked from time to time). Issue was raised starting with Firefox 128.2.0esr), but in general persist with newer Firefox ESR. We tried replacing XMLHttpRequest with fetch which seems making no much difference so far.
