Context
While playing YouTube videos in Firefox, intermittent crackling appears after a few minutes of playback. This report documents detailed testing that demonstrates the issue is not related to the DAC, USB interface, or system hardware, and is exclusive to Firefox.
2. System Configuration
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X @ 43 °C
RAM: 64 GB DDR4 dual-channel (16-20-20-38 @ 1572 MHz)
Motherboard: ASRock X570 Phantom Gaming 4 (AM4) @ 54 °C
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 (audio drivers disabled, audio hardware off)
Monitors: LG HDR WFHD 2560x1080@60Hz and IPS236 1920x1080@60Hz
Storage: Multiple SSD and HDD SATA drives (500 GB – 2 TB)
Audio: Realtek High Definition Audio disabled; iFi nano/UNO DAC connected via USB with power filtering, using Exclusive Mode / ASIO
3. Tests Performed 3.1 DAC and USB Validation
Continuous playback of PCM 384 kHz/24‑bit and DSD256 via Roon/ASIO.
Duration: over 25 minutes of uninterrupted DSD256 playback.
Result: no crackling, pops, or errors.
Conclusion: DAC, firmware, USB cables, ports, and power supply are fully operational; heavy data load does not cause errors.
3.2 Browser Comparison
Chrome (YouTube, identical conditions): continuous playback without crackling.
Firefox (YouTube, identical conditions): crackling progressively appears minutes into playback, temporarily disappearing when the video is paused.
3.3 Isolation of Variables
USB motherboard ports and original drivers fully tested.
GPU audio drivers and hardware disabled.
Windows Shared Mode off, Exclusive Mode enabled.
Predefined audio formats set according to DAC preferences.
USB power management disabled.
DAC temperature stable; no overheating observed.
4. Technical Conclusion
Hardware: DAC, USB, cables, power, firmware, and GPU are not the cause of the crackling.
Operating System: Windows 11 is correctly configured; Exclusive Mode / ASIO works without errors.
Browser: Firefox is the only element consistently reproducing the issue.
Most Likely Cause: Firefox’s buffer management and audio sandboxing interacting with Windows, causing intermittent interruptions in audio flow.
Summary: All hardware and OS factors have been tested and validated: DAC, USB, cables, power supply, firmware, GPU, and temperature do not produce crackling. The only consistent factor is Firefox, making this a software-bound issue.
Engineering Note: This diagnosis conclusively demonstrates that the intermittent audio crackling on YouTube is caused exclusively by Firefox on Windows 11, independent of DAC or USB hardware. The issue should be investigated at the browser level, specifically how Firefox handles continuous digital audio streams and buffers on Windows.
I keep getting told I'm using an ad-blocker, but how do I find out which one? I've checked in extensions and can't find out.

Hi! A few minutes ago I was in the process of signing up for a website- creating an account log-in and password. Firefox asked if I would like to use an automatically generated password- which was displayed. Of course this is nothing new and I always say yes. The password automatically saves (or I guess it asks me first and I say yes) to the password section in the browser settings. Always easy! But this time it did not save it- I tried it twice and neither time it saved. I read some of the support posts and someone advised to make sure it was checked in my iOS settings. It was NOT so I checked it. But strange because it’s always saved all the others? Anyway I was wondering if there’s a way to see recently generated passwords similar to what the iOS password generating and saving tool has been doing for a little while now (not implying anything here!). That’s all I guess, thank you so much!!

OK recently firefox has been misbehaving in that some bookmarks froze or would not load. I thought it was SKY but other browsers were OK. Managed to refresh Firefox etc which changed the bookmark icons to generic icon of a globe. Then unable to delete / modify / save bookmarks. Followed Mozilla support advice help / more troubleshooting information / profile folder / open folder / check properties / sqlite / change from read only all folder s& subfolders / exit firefox. Icons reappeared but in the address bar is the full URL rather than the original saved bookmark and no blue star to indicate that bookmark. So bookmark works but the URL label instead of the short version is the full version of the URL of Bloggsandco,com TERWF78;ULUFWOUW88UY not Bloggsandco.com and no blue star. I am zero tech savvy before you ask and whilst there may have been a corrupt file in Firefox there have been two fixes with CMD SFC/scannow repairs (W10 64 bit) and now Firefox refresh. Of course lost all extensions and theme on refresh firefox. Any thoughts - have managed now to delete excess bookmarks

Hi, Just looking into using Tab Groups. I can create a group, add or delete tabs from it, and the Save and Close Group. This Group is then visible to re-open from the List All Tabs option.
That is Great.
However, if I close Firefox, and re-open it, then that tab group has disappeared from the List All Tabs option.
Is that correct, or am I missing a setting somewhere ?

When customizing the toolbar, Firefox has a standard button named "Forget" which lets you easily delete browser data (see the attached image).
I'm using this button, but I should like the button to work in a different way. What I want is that everything except from browser history is deleted, when I click the forget icon. It should not be necessary to first click the forget icon, and then "Forget!" (as in the attached image). I don't neither want to restart the browser or open a new clean window
Does someone know how to achieve this without developing my own plugin? Does the standard buttons have some scripts somewhere that can be edited?

Web pages that are supposed to contain emojis are blank. I can highlight where emojis are supposed to be shown but the actual images of the emojis aren't there. about:config font.name-list.emoji correctly contains "Apple Color Emoji" If it is relevant, this has been a bug/issue that has persisted for a couple of months now (can't name an exact date).

First I tried all the suggestions I could find. And FF just kept double filling the password. So I did a completely fresh FF install to a separate folder with no cookies or passwords or anything saved, and never any extensions installed. Still double fills the password -- which makes it impossible to log in. I am using FF Portable, and tried both the latest version and an older version. What could possibly be doing this?
