Firefox Community Forum

I've noticed that opening a new window (normal or private mode) via Ctrl+N / Ctrl+Shift+P opens a small window rather than a full size window if I'm currently in full screen mode, whether I'm in full screen from pressing F11 or from opening a full screen video. Normally, the new windows I launch take up the entire screen space as expected when not launched from full screen mode or when starting the browser. This is really annoying to me and I can't find any configuration option that disables this.

The behavior I want is that I always get the same full sized window whether they're launched from full screen mode or not. The new window should default to a normal window and not another full screen one (this part is true with current Firefox behavior at least). I know this isn't being caused by a setting or extension because I've seen this behavior on a fresh install of Firefox with all default settings and no extensions.

Setting "full-screen-api.ignore-widgets"to true in about:config does cause it to stop happening, but this isn't an acceptable workaround for me since it causes the taskbar to always be shown.

Starting yesterday, browsing to the ebay.com url resulted in Korean language text being displayed per the attached screenshot. The same continues today. I tried the ebay options of changing language by choosing a national flag. Choosing the US Stars and Stripes made no difference; I still got Korean text. I tried disabling my VPN; it made no difference. I tried choosing the Canadian Maple Leaf flag and got English text but Canadian prices.

I tried to report the problem (in Firefox) using ebay's contact links; but those links require logging in. I could not because I could not pass the Capcha challenge while remaining in Firefox.

Thinking that the problem might lie with Firefox, I loaded and used the Brave browser. Not only did I get US English and prices straightaway, I was able to login with ebay and report the problem. My VPN is active and has been since I loaded Brave.

Because I have these problems only while using Firefox, I came here to report the problem and ask for assistance resolving it.

(I have no idea what topic I should have selected. If you read the text here, you can quickly see that I am flailing about.)

Please bear with me as I try to finish restoring Firefox after a spam attack that got around MalwareBytes, SuperAntispyware, and Windows Defender. I am missing a large collection of bookmarks, and until a day or ago, I had not the foggiest idea what it was called, as I had started it quite a long time ago and had not encountered any problems.

I knew that, whatever it was, was still on the computer as I had caught a glimpse or two of it. Two days ago, I found it: I clicked on the three-dot icon in the top right-hand corner of Firefox, selected Bookmarks, scrolled to the bottom of the list, and clicked on Manage Bookmarks, whereupon I found my compilation named Bookmarks Menu.

I had, more or less accidentally found, several days ago that there is supposed to be an icon specifically for that entry. I thought that I had kept a copy of what the icon looks like; sadly, I just saw that I had not so done.

However, I sort of recall what it looks like, with, I believe a star and something else, and it is supposed to be found in More tools, Customize toolbar icon collection. I looked there, with my miscreant note about the icon I need to restore the use of Bookmarks Menu; the icon was not there (and is not now, I just looked.) I don't even remember how I found the text about the icon, which had an image of it, alas.

If anyone can assist me, that would be, obviously, greatly appreciated.

I cannot access this website: https://cz-usa.com . I get this message every time. Please help, this is very frustrating!~

recently had computer crash while playing a game. Now, when I try and type a response in a youtube video, the text is not shown. I am using firefox in dark mode. Have restarted computer and refreshed Firefox. Still occuring.

I use a dark background theme to reduce glare. Text usually appears white, as expected. Today, 12/13/24, the text is black. I am using version 133.0.3 (64-bit) Firefox Browser. I downloaded an update within the past few days, and while I have used the browser, I haven't typed anything onto a browser page until this morning.

Text and background appear normal with other applications.

I was wondering whether this has been reported or found previously.

I am continuing my search for other applications this my affect.
