I noticed that sometimes (not everytime) I had "Server Not Found" error on some of my website. Since i have a DNS server at home i thought it was probably related to that so I opened Wireshark to see what was happening.

to better understand I have 2 dns records

server.lan that point to 192.168.1.61 and *.mydomain.com that points to server.lan with a CNAME.

In wireshark i saw that generally firefox does A and HTTPS(TYPE 65) queries but sometimes it only does HTTPS.

In case of a Type 65 query my dns server only answers with the CNAME so server.lan The issue is that Firefox doesnt try to resolve the CNAME.

When firefox do both A and Type65 it seems to work probably because it takes the A answer wich contains both cname and the IP of the CNAME but when it doesn't do both it just stop after the HTTPS one without trying to resolve the CNAME.

Google chrome seems to always do Both A and Type 65 query.

Please look into fixing this problem. What is the purpose of the web search bar in the middle of the screen if it cannot be used? There is a setting that allows it to be there but nothing that can make it a default search bar. The address/search bar up top is always the default no matter what I've tried. It's nerve wracking to see something there you can't use. If there is something I can do to fix this please let me know.

Is there a way to force firefox to open without sacrificing the browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground option?

I have noticed that on certain websites which have site search boxes on their webpages (e.g. reddit, tvtropes), if I click in the box to type a search term, it will display about five suggestions which I have searched in the long-distant past in some context which I no longer recall. I generally would prefer suggestions not to show up in the first place, and I don't know why these specific terms are the specific ones which show up. Since this issue happens with site-specific search engines, rather than the search engine associated with the address bar, I'm unsure how to delete these suggestions. I normally browse in private windows, and on the rare occasion that I don't, I usually delete my history, and am unsure how the suggestions came to persist, and to persist only in the context I describe? If anyone can help, I'd be thankful.

I have tried the normal stuff of clearing cookies and cache, safe mode, etc... No change.

Unless someone has a similar card that uses a similar login, may be hard to test, but this is the login link: https://auth.securebanklogin.com/?brand=card

Dear FireFox,

Christian greetings in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

In addition to being pastor, I am also the Webmaster for the Church Website for about 30 years and prepare a FREE Weekly Church Newsletter circulated worldwide with 1297 back-issues available for download.

When I draft and code the Newsletter I switch between TextPad (text editor) and Firefox off-line. Images should display offline or on-line as they are all on the Church Computer. I have experienced this problem for about three or four weeks.

Please assist me with this problem.

Any of hundreds of .jpg or .gif or .npg images. We have a desktop computer. I have reinstalled FireFox multiple times and it will no longer display images off-line. This is a relatively recent problem I have not suffered in 30-years. Google Chrome, Edge and Internet Explorer all display the images off-line.

I will be grateful if you will email me at ags@biblebelievers.

May God bless you.

Yours sincerely in the love and service of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Your brother-in-Christ, Anthony Grigor-Scott MINISTER OF THE GOSPEL http://www.biblebelievers.au/ Subscribe to Bible Believers' FREE Weekly Church Newsletter

The fucking forced dark mode has return despite the previous fix layout.css.prefers-color-scheme.content-override = 1 in about:config fixing it for years. This and the current replacement fixes don't save. I want a solution for PERMANENT light mode (black text on white background) for ALL menus, pop-ups, dropdown menus and hover over tab info.

And don't tell me to go search for a different theme I've already spent hours doing that and firefox has broken them only making some menus use the appropriate mode. On top of that I can't even pick an option to search for one that uses light mode I just have to go through each one and try it if I want to know which mode it uses that is NOT a solution to anything.

Replacement "fixes" for reference: ui.systemUsesDarkTheme won't even let me set to 0 only has true/false browser.theme.content-theme set to 1 browser.theme.toolbar-theme set to 1 (Why in the absolute hell these were added when a simple addition to preference setting wasn't is beyond me)

Very sorry for the aggressiveness but I am so very VERY tired of having to fight firefox on this preferance for years when their dark mode hurts my eyes.
