Windows updated my desktop computer this morning and now Firefox doesn't start from the taskbar. When I use run as administrator it runs, but all the tabs say they have crashed and won't restore. I have tried re-downloading Firefox and restarting Windows. If it helps my blue-tooth trackball is also now erratic and not usable. Everything was working fine before the update.

Recently, when I load a web page in Firefox, it frequently doesn't load the hyperlinks. They just appear as plain text, and I can't click on them.

This doesn't happen in Chrome or Edge.

I'm using Firefox 115.15.0 ESR on one computer, and whatever the latest regular (non-ESR) version is on another. Both are Windows computers. It seems to happen more often if I start scrolling on the web page before it's fully loaded (but this wasn't a problem until a couple months ago).

If I reload the page, the hyperlinks usually work, but sometimes I have to reload twice.

This is the first thing that's ever made me think of switching to another browser since I started using Firefox years ago.

Any idea what's causing this and how I can fix it?

I was using a Windows & machine and the version of Firefox I had included my bookmarks library in an accessible column on the left side. I recently got a new computer & a professional set it up for me. It appears he installed a more recent version of Firefox--and I can find no way to attach my library in the same, easily accessible fashion. Instead, I have to go through a number of steps to access the library.

I'm hoping there is a way to do this. Otherwise, this version is in no way as useful as the old one I had with W7.

Thanks!

I have a number of tabs that consume a lot of memory and I need to find them. I have around 800 tabs open spread over 10-12 windows, so I just cannot find tabs manually.

about:performance can list tabs that consume a lot of memory easily, but there seems to be no way to actually switch to the tab.

Did I miss something? Is there a way to focus tabs located in about:performance?

I have tried everything ... mime video/ogg doesn't work at all. I started my old Angular application in which i had my camera feed shown (it was working like year or two ago).

So i tried to fix it, first it seemed it just need "muted" and "autoplay" set as parameters in <video> HTML tag. But then it just did not worked at all.

Detailed description: So i have tried use [CanPlayType] With params : "video/ogg" - it returned empty string so it is not supported However when i check your documentation here [Ogg containers] it says it is supported ...

I included picture with working stream and this is a tag i used:

(+ in angular i added mentioned muted and autoplay + load() and play() )

I have tried to transcode to this formats too Theora video and Vorbis audio in Ogg container

   <source src="video.ogv" type="video/ogg; codecs="theora, vorbis"">

Theora video and Speex audio in Ogg container

   <source src="video.ogv" type="video/ogg; codecs="theora, speex"">

Based on this documentation https://www.w3.org/TR/2009/WD-html5-20090423/video.html#attr-source-src

And use them in video tag param. like : type="video/ogg; codecs="theora, vorbis"" or type='video/ogg; codecs="theora, vorbis"' did not work.

(This was one that i used before and always:

--sout '#transcode{vcodec="theo",venc=theora{quality=3},vb="",scale="0.25"} :standard{mux=ogg,access=http,dst=":8753"}' 

that worked before)

Then i tried look up some example of code to just see it doesnt work at all (example of guide with not working video/ogg : https://tekeye.uk/html/html5-video-test-page See/search for "3: HTML5 Ogg Video Test" )

Please refer me to bug report or issue report i can provide any additional information.

(PS. this submit page dont have preview ... why ?)
