For some reason, IDM will not work in Firefox/DuckDuckGo. even though it worked a couple of weeks ago. I contacted IDM support who have tried everything they have, but no change.

Here is the issue: 1. I open Firefox (Duck Duck Go is my default) (132.0.2 (64-bit) 2. I type "vintage sci fi movies" 3. Click on "videos" 4. Pick any movie (example: The Phantom Planet (black and white but this does not matter) 5. In the Choose How you Watch, I click the left icon - Watch Here, and not Watch on YouTube; also click Remember my choice 6. The movie starts but there is no IDM dialogue 7. If I then click Watch on YouTube inside the movie, it switches to YouTube and the movie starts, AND the IDM dialogue pops up.

As I said, this worked in Firefox/DDG a couple of weeks ago.

IDM version is 6.42 Build 23, full (paid for) version Oct 15 2024 The IDM Integration Module in Firefox shows as Version 6.42.22, last updated Oct 28 2024.

Can you assist please.

MetaMask Blocks DuckDuckGo Search Results in Firefox

Hello, I am experiencing an issue where the MetaMask extension in Firefox is blocking search results on DuckDuckGo. When I disable MetaMask, the search results load properly, but when it's enabled, they do not appear. This problem does not occur in other browsers like Brave.

I have tried:

   Disabling and re-enabling MetaMask.
   Adjusting Firefox's privacy settings.
   Running Firefox in Safe Mode (which fixes the issue but disables all extensions).

Is there a known compatibility issue between MetaMask and DuckDuckGo on Firefox? Any suggestions on how to fix this without having to disable MetaMask?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Last night, firefox just disabled all my addons and all attempts to reinstall any failed with a red warning that everysingle one I had or new to add failed. I tried a few suggestions I found online like refreshing, clearing cash, restarting, but nothing worked.

I have a vwersion 88 (and some change) running on a windows 7 computer.

Any wisdom is highly appreciated.

If I won't be able to fix this, I'll just move on to a different browser after using it everywhere for so many years and it will be sad

I use Primary Passwords on important sites. Since v136 installed this morning, no matter what site I OPEN Firefox to, even search sites, the Primary Password is requested. If Firefox is already opened, if I open the "unimportant" site, no password is requested.

Since updating to version 135 all the tabs crash. I've uninstalled\reinstalled, deleted app data, disabled AV and created a new profile. The only time it works is in troubleshooting mode. I've looked at extensions and plugins and I'm only seeing OpenH264 video codec and Widevine content decryption. I've disabled those but still get the crashed tabs.

I'm also not generating any crash logs.

I cannot load certain webpages including gmail and various others frequently used suddenly without any changes made on my end. It just doesnt finish loading the page but I can access all of the pages on any other web browser just not firefox anymore. I deleted the cache of cookies and that's about it as I am not tech savvy at all and have set up nothing personalized or special. Please help I have literally no recourse at all here.

Hello, The typeface/font size on the browser tabs and booksmarks are TINY, like maybe 4pt font in context. I've seen some solutions posted (and archived) as recently as Sept. 2023 but I've tried dozens of times and they still do nothing. The font size adjustment choices in Mozilla / Firefox settings adjust the font on WEBPAGES themselves, NOT the still-maddening teensy tiny font at the top of the webpage, where it frankly really counts. HELP!

Hi,

I am using Firefox on a Mac computer with Sonoma. Google became over time more and more intrusive and annoying. Is there any way to use setting in Firefox to disable the display appearing with most websites that tells one to "Use Google account to sign in..." ?

Yesterday my audio on Firefox worked, today it doesn't. I tried all the regular trouble shooting solutions. - My system volume is not 0 - My tabs aren't muted - My headphones are turned on and working fine (audio works everywhere but Firefox) - I uninstalled and reinstalled my Firefox - I uninstalled and reinstalled my headphone audio drivers - Audio also does not work in a private browser, so I know the issue it's related to extensions, cookies, etc. - I had Windows 11 do a quick diagnostic, so the issue isn't Windows 11 related

Usually when this issue occurs, it's as simple as switching from "default" to a specific speaker in volume mixer, but Firefox is not appearing in volume mixer like it did in the past, as shown in the screenshot below.

I don't know what else to do at this point. In previous documentation here, the solution for some people was to wait and it eventually fixed itself, but I'd rather not have audio for weeks to months on end, so has anyone found another solution by chance?

Hi, I've been using DuckDuckGo as a search engine for several years. Yesterday, I entered my search terms as usual, and all it showed me was a blank screen. Even searches that I did weeks ago simply come up blank. (see screenshot) When I searched in Google, it completed just fine. The same when I switched browsers (Chrome and Safari). This must be connected to a recent update either in Firefox or DuckDuckGo, but I can't seem to find information on how to fix it. Thanks for your help.
