Just noticed today that with FF142.0.1 for macOS 15.6.1 no longer works.

The keyboard sequence: control⌃ - command⌘ - shift⇧ to bring up the character viewer no longer works.

I have had to activate into by menubar the Keyboard Viewer and access all emojis and special characters from there. Never had to do that.

Any thoughts.




Whilst the difficult we can do immediately, the impossible takes a bit longer. However, miracles you will have to wait for.

Fixed it.

 

about:config = browser.menu.showCharacterEncoding set to true

 

This must have been reset to false when I did a complete fresh reinstallation from the FF dmg file due to profile corruption.
