Hi. I got a new laptop some weeks ago (Linux Fedora) and I've been using Firefox without any problems until last week. When watching Youtube videos my system shell crashes completely. This problem ONLY happens with Youtube videos and Firefox. Other browsers work fine and I don't have this problem in other websites.

I need to search for more than one search term in about:config. How can I do this?
Is there some kind of syntax I can use like the pipe symbol to do something like oneword|anotherword or do I have to know literally the exact thing I'm looking for before looking?
thanks in advance

I am running Ubuntu 22.04 Jammy on my desktop. Problem does not appear in Windows 10.
I can click the search box and the list of search engines shows. I can change the default search engine in settings. Mouse over highlights the selections.
Clicking on one of the choices does nothing.
I think there have been 2 updates since the problem first appeared.
PS: There also appears to be an issue with js. Some functions on websites do not work although most of the scripts do work. In particular comments on comicskingdom.com do not work and the same with comments on seattletimes.com which apparently uses the same script. Both websites work on Windows 10.

Hello, everytime I want to open a website that I frequently use, Firefox fails to suggest it as first and rather suggests the "base" url. Example: I want to open https://www.arabdict.com/en/deutsch-arabisch but typing "ara" in the URL input field always suggests https://www.arabdict.com although the first link is both bookmarked and pinned on home. Can someone tell me how to fix this if it's even fixable yet? Chrome does this if you want to compare the user experience I'm missing since switching to Firefox. Thank you!
P.S: sorry for the first screenshot, I couldn't catch the suggestions menu with the built in screenshot tool.

We ask this today, August 20, 2024, in the hope of finding a current solution to a question that has been asked for years:
How to prevent Firefox from updating?
When we search for this answer online, we find many answers -- all of which seem outdated. The many solutions from many years ago (which appear at the top of search listings) no longer work or are no longer available.
We like Firefox. otherwise we would not even bother asking. But we do not like that it appears users are losing the ability to customise their Firefox experience. We do not like that updates will sometimes break the way that we use Firefox. And we especially do not like that Firefox has become increasingly difficult to constrain.
If we wanted software that does not respect us we have many other other options.
What we want is: the option to tell Firefox that we will continue using this specific version of Firefox for as long as we wish, even if that leads to many terrible things. Yes, we want to know what those terrible things might be and to understand the implications of skipping this new update, but we want to make that informed decision; we do not want updates shoved down our throats.
For those running Ubuntu (Jammy) in August of 2024 how does one successfully prevent Firefox (recent) from updating? We would prefer a menu option but will accept a third-party solution if necessary. We want, among other things, to put a stop to the ominous "in X days we will install the update regardless of your obvious intentions to avoid an update" messages.
(We had these same issues back when we used Windows. The ability to prevent Firefox from updating seems to have been lost many years ago.)
Helpful responses are welcomed and appreciated.

This past week a started having issues with 7digital.com not allowing me to download zipped music files. It kept giving an error about the oauth token not being passed through. (Error: Authorization failed for method <GET> and URL <http://media.geo.7digital.com/media/user/download/release>. Missing oauth_consumer_key)
Finally figured out that this is only happening in Firefox, Brave browser and other Chrome based browsers don't have the issue.
I've tried turning off the tracking and download protection in settings, but it didn't help. So, what's causing it?

The Firefox Linux Systems inappropriately stops to play online videos, the social media videos or display pictures. The system is not manageable by administrators at the public library and is only helped sometimes by government officials. Is there anyway the Library system could be helped to play videos.

I need to get the first date I accessed a page via link. In the browser history that date is displayed however when I click on that link again, the date gets updated to the current time. This destroys the original access date. Is it somehow possible to get a real history about each time an URL was visited?

G'Day!
I've been having issues with media playback on firefox.
Almost any video source that isn't from youtube cannot play in firefox, giving the error: "No Video with supported format and MIME type found"
Testing the same video on Chromium has no problems.
Using Fedora Linux on an AMD system. And Fedora Flatpak build.
System specs below if required.
Any idea to get this up and running would be really appreciated. I think I already installed the propriety media codecs for fedora since the problem isn't showing up on chromium it looks like a firefox issue.

One of the typical configuration in linux is to turn off the user namespaces and/or network namespaces. This is because most of the exploits in linux have been related to namespaces vulnerabilities.
If there is a Firefox ver 127.0.2, running on Linux in which the user namespace is turned off then the following is observed in the Troubleshooting information, i.e. about:support Seccomp-BPF (System Call Filtering) true Seccomp Thread Synchronisation true User Namespaces for privileged processes true User Namespaces false Content Process Sandboxing true Media Plugin Sandboxing true
So how come with the username turned off, the content process and media plugin is still sandboxed? Also is having user namespace turned off, as given above, a security risk?
However if the network namespace is turned off, i.e. max_net_namespaces is set to zero, then it renders the browser unusable. Nothing works. Why is that?
Is there some documentation somewhere where these namespaces and their impact is explained in detail?

Up until the latest Firefox Nightly release, I could click on the '+' to open a new tab and immediately start typing the URL. Now, however, I am required to select a container type, something that is useless to me. Is there a way to disable this?
UPDATE: Never mind, I found the setting for Enable Container Tabs, which needs to be deselected. Why is this an opt-out?
