Hi there,

Firefox is my daily browser and a few websites are causing recurrent issues. Aliexpress randomly switches language and currency, but the most annoying problem is that it doesn't let me change it (clicking on it doesn't give the menu it's supposed to give), and searching any item in the search bar just gives the "spinning star symbol", and nothing else.

Similar issue in eBay: some menus just don't open, including submenus in the "Contact seller" form, which cripples the whole experience.

As a comparison: all these websites work fine in a slightly outdated Safari 14.1.2. and the most recent Vivaldi.

Now, I saw the issue being mentioned here 4 years ago. What I tried: cookie /cache cleaning, which I did to no avail. Safe mode: no change Switched back privacy settings to "Standard": no change.

Hola Uso habitualmente esas paginas y no veo ninguno problema usando Firefox 98 o superior (Beta), según los detalles estas usando la versión 91, probaste actualizar el Firefox? Saludos

This is the latest FF 91.7.1 ESR.

Interestingly, these pages do display fine on the same version of Firefox on a different computer, but fully synchronised: plugins and settings are the same. Are the settings accessible in "about:config" synced?

Es el foro en Español. El foro en ingles es: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/firefox Las preferencias del About:sync se sincronizan cuando tienes habilitado "preferencias" en la sincronización. Puedes restablecer el Firefox para normalizar su configuracion: https://support.mozilla.org/es/kb/restablecer-firefox-una-forma-facil-de-solucionar-

Sigo usando sin problemas Aliexpress y Ebay, tampoco he visto otros reclamos con un problema similar. Saludos

Lo siento, es que hay tantas traducciones automáticas en muchos foros que no me dí cuenta de que no era una versión inglesa traducida. En otros se escribe en cualquier idioma y se contesta en cualquier otro.

La pregunta no era a propósito del about:sync, sólo de about:config. Ya sé que se sincronizan las preferencias de about:sync, y no parece ser el origen del problema ya que ambos navegadores tienen las mismas.

Precisamente trataba evitar restablecer Firefox pues significara gastar mucho tiempo reconfigurándolo (en particular los grupos de Simple Tab Groups) y perdiendo todo mi historial.
