Sun 19jan25 Firefox icon on my desktop disappeared!!! I copied an icon from its file extension but is is just a PLAIN icon WITHOUT the FOX ;-( how can I do an icon with the Fox picture? Pl help :-)

Hello everyone.

I'm dealing with something a bit strange.

When I try to use Firefox on Linux to search for things with Google, the `+` character is automatically removed from the query string. For example:

• Searching for `c++`, I got `c`
• Searching for `g++`, I got `g`.

This issue doesn't happen for DuckDuckGo, but only Google (using the same browser, just different tabs). I don't have (and don't plan to install) other browsers on my linux box to try, but from another machine in the same network I didn't have this issue with Safari / Chrome.

I'm using Firefox for Linux on Fedora Sway Spin.

I created a screen recording but the forum doesn't allow posting video. I can share it if needed.

The issue happened locally (I think couple of days go, earlier I was able to search for C++ related stuff troubles).

Please let me know if there's anything I can try to fix this.

Thank you very much in advance

For months CNN articles are ruined by manipulated headlines (and more) to degrade Trump.

There is no such problem when browsing CNN with Safari.

EXAMPLE: Pond Scum’s ambition to retake the Panama Canal could have a heavy cost (January 21)

I resent my reading being compromised, and request that CNN remedy the situation.

I'm trying to move my profile from one PC to another because i have many opened tabs that i would like transferred upon opening the browser on the new PC. When attempting to transfer the profile from my external drive to the new PC, I receive the error "Destination Path too Long. The file names would be too long for the destination folder".

Hi there, I just got a new work laptop and tried to sync my firefox browsers so I could keep my passwords and bookmarks from my old laptop. Unfortunately I forgot my password, so I had to reset it on my new device. I logged in again on my old laptop but it's still not syncing or updating the bookmarks on the new laptop. Is there any way to move my bookmarks and passwords over to my new laptop? Thanks!

Just received the new update for Windows 11, and all of a sudden, the drop-down menus in search bar font became very small. Even with my reading glasses and window set at 200 Zoom in magnifier glass at four still have problems reading the drop-down menus and the search bar because of the size of the font.

In settings, I have all the font sizes set at 16. That is the ones that I can find to adjust any font size.

How do I resolve the problem or do I need to go to another browser?

I think I found the problem in not deleted files (local.sqlite-shm and local.sqlite-wal) after closing Thunderbird. So I will have problems with implementing new dates or deleting no longer used dates. Also the synchronisation between TB and MyPhoneExplorer doesn't work. After deleting the two files (thunderbird is not running) and the newstart of TB all works fine. The next closing of TB leaves the files again in calendar-data. And additionaly the staying file local.sqlite-wal has a date of 04.11.2020 !? A very old file in my opinion. What can I do about this?

When trying to log in to GMX.co.uk a consent page usually pops up, it did on earlier versions & it does using Google Chrome, but page stays grey, worm turning but never shows. It does flash up but disappears in under 1 second so can't accept. Tried on my android phone, says error so can't login, don't normally use as have GMX app.

The Buttons in the Quick Search bar vanish when the bar get smaller. This is done via javascript and the onoverflow event. How can I disable this vanishing and always show the buttons? I am using custom user css but couldn't get it to work so far.

When I set

#qfb-qs-textbox {
  max-width: 20px !important;
}

in the developer tools, it seems to work, but when this is contained in a custom css file, it doesn't work anymore.

There is also #quick-filter-bar defined, but that doesn't seem to work.

Any help/hint is much appreciated! Thanks in advance.

For a while now, several months anyway, many of the sites I visit work in Chrome but no longer in Firefox. The sign in or login buttons do nothing, petition submit buttons do not work, etc. I can enter information in the required fields, but I the send/submit buttons do not work.

My test page is the log in for a course I have purchased. Here's what I have tried so far:

    Turned off enhanced protection 
    Paused AdBlock
    Ddisabled Privacy Badger
    Whitelisted the site on minerBlock.

Still no joy.

Anyone have any ideas? Thanks, --elizabeth
