    Earlier, the form was obscured, as Sampei Nihira said and as the attachment showed.
    Now, the form is shown correctly. That is with Firefox 127.0 snap, and Enhanced Tracking Protection enabled (custom settings, same as Strict).
    So, something must have changed.

    I still do not see the order form with tracking protection enabled.
    But I don't care to notify Mozilla of the problem, which can be easily fixed.

    Currently, I don't see the order form, either.
    I have no idea what changed. Not my settings.

    Oddly, there is no Firefox 127.0.2 snap version available, yet.
    Often, the snap version is released minutes after the release notes are available.
    Perhaps there was some miscommunication? Or perhaps the fixes in 127.0.2 weren't considered relevant to Linux users? Although, YouTube buffering bug 1878510 was reported as also affecting Linux users.
    Perhaps the snap version will be released later. Otherwise, the fix for the reported YouTube buffering issue will be in the next snap version.

    Well, the Choose which Firefox Browser to download in your language link shows that the new version is available for Linux 32-bit and 64-bit users. Not familiar with snap versions.

    Ah, thanks. So, one would expect a snap version as well.
    I have no idea how many persons are on the Firefox snap team, and if sickness or someone's vacation can mess things up. Or, as I said, if there may have been some miscommunication. Perhaps the snap version will be available later.

    Edit
    Sorry, I forgot. When I wrote, "Or perhaps the fixes in 127.0.2 weren't considered relevant to Linux users?" what I meant was the Firefox snap team's consideration. I don't know if the snap team has the freedom to decide to skip a certain version if it is considered not relevant to Linux users. If so, they may have overlooked the fact that bug 1878510 was reported as also affecting Linux users. But I'm speculating, which is of no use.

    Another thought regarding why there is no Firefox 127.0.2 snap version available, yet.
    I wrote, "YouTube buffering bug 1878510 was reported as also affecting Linux users."
    However, in the bug 1878510 thread, 'Linux' is hardly specified. I see one specific mention of Linux Mint; all other mentions are unspecified 'Linux', no distributions specified. If bug 1878510 affects Firefox on Linux Mint but not Linux distributions that utilize the Firefox snap version, the Firefox 127.0.2 snap version might be considered of no relevance. But again, I'm speculating.

    Hi Rasheed. It is likely you are not setting up the policy correctly. I never see any alerts related to updates. If you setup the policy correctly this is what you should see in Firefox settings>General:

    And this in About Firefox:

    Indeed, Firefox 127.0.2 snap version was released later.
    I don't know since when exactly, but Firefox 127.0.2 snap is available now.

    I posted about something similar a few months ago, few pages back in this thread. I use Standard for tracking, when I started having the issue, I disabled as much as I could in Firefox Settings, but couldn't get the sites to work again (even though they work perfectly fine in Edge), the websites became broken, unusable, and are still unusable today. So, when I use the sites, I am forced to use Edge.

    If you like to read what I posted when Firefox broke this websites that are important to me, read the post below and a few more afterward.

    One thing that I didn't do the other day when I saw your post about the website that is now broken in Firefox but still opens up fine in Edge is click the link you posted and see what I see. Well, I just did. I checked the site in both, Edge and Firefox, and Yes, Firefox is blocking a lot more than Edge by default. That is the reason you dont see the form anymore in Firefox. Look at the pictures below, so you'll see all the domains that run in Edge but don't run anymore in Firefox, causing the site to become broken and unusable.

    Yes.
    I also noticed that using uBlock Origin Lite in Firefox causes many more broken websites than Edge with uBlock Origin Lite.
    In some cases, with Firefox,I had to completely disable the extension's filtering in order to have a working website.

    The website you are having a problem with is broken in Firefox, regardless of whether you are using or not using a program like NoScript or Ublock. The purpose of me posting the pictures I posted is for you to see that more domains run in Edge than in Firefox when you navigate that site. For example, hsforms.com doesn't run in Firefox, this domain and probably one or two more that Firefox is not allowing to run are needed for the form to appear in the website and for the site to be workable.

    Yes,I understood what you wrote.
    Try to understand what I wrote.;)

    When a website is broken because of Firefox, when in Edge the same website works, for the user, it is not overly sensational because they are 2 different browsers.

    Sometimes it happens that the same adblock in 2 different browsers has a significantly higher number of blocks in Firefox than in Edge.
    Often when the filter lists used are 99% identical.

    This fact ,not expected by the user, is considerably more glaring.

    Example in the website below.

    5 blocks in UBO - Edge
    20 blocks in UBO - Firefox


    Edge:

    i still miss your message here: https://webcompat.com/
    if firefox broke it then report there, and nowhere else. this forum is irrelevant to them.

    I have already written that I will not make any reports because I can solve this "problem" myself.
    I do not like to repeat what I have already decided because I do not change my opinion.

    No, you don't. :)
    That is my point. This is why some months ago I posted about this issue with Firefox blocking domains that Edge is not blocking.and why I replied to your post where you posted a link to a website that don't work for you anymore in Firefox.

    This is what I would like you to unserstand: The issue in Firefox has nothing to do with content filters. Do this test: Create a new Firefox user profile. Do not install UBO or any content filter. Open Firefox in the new profile, and you ll see that the website doesn't work. The form you fill in will not appear in the webpáge.

    The reason I posted the pictures of NoScript is because I can use NoScript as a tool to show you the domains that run in each browser when you visit a particular website.and you (Sampei) can use the pictures to compare and know the exact domains that Firefox is blocking and know why the website that is important to you doesn't work anymore in Firefox.

    your choice, but a lot of user might help this out. i suggest you to leave firefox. so many negative "feelings" here from you.

    *signed*

    issues need to be resolved, not to be discussed. refusing this way is no statement, its questionable!
