Firefox Community Forum

Hello there.

Since last update i'm unable to browse websites like youtube, social media and all other websites with video content. Video often fails to load,the wholewebsite is not loading, freezes while played or while exiting full screen mode. All of these freezes the browser - the site cannot be refreshed, links does not work. The only way is to close the tab with the freezed page or kill the Firefox process in windows Task Manager. Refreshing, re-installing, deleting or using different profile don't work. Same with add-ons. Seems like the issue lies within the browser and it started to appear since last update.

I'm unable to get Audio in the video in a Truth Social post: https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/116929732753891262

I have been trying to trouble shoot, checking my volume settings, disabling ad blocker, etc, but nothing is helping.

I tested the URL in TOR and Chrome browsers which I installed on my laptop, the audio works AOK on those.

FF has been my browser of choice since it was launched, so I'd really appreciate if someone can suggest what the Audio issue might be.

Thanks in advance. 😎 🇦🇺

Greetings. I am on Ubuntu Linux OS. Trying to run WhatsApp, I only have a web based option. Messaging, photos, works well, but no Audio. Desktop Speakers and Mic are ON (tested). No "speaker tab" on Firefox. Help!

Hello. uz vase roka mi plays videos without sound on Facebook. I tried to figure out why in the settings, but I failed. on other sites, the sound works. what could be the problem?

Many users ask for solution to disable your great invention : annoying mute buttons (speaker). And creators of FF strongly make it imposible to turn it off? Why? Is ther a "must" to suffer this? There will be some of reward for pain you give with this "feature"?

Здравствуйте, я хотел просто сообщить. Что надо исправить: звук или просто, чтобы все расширения и платформы работали на Mac, Windows 11? Ты андроид, ну типа я запускаю видео, я хочу посмотреть. Со звуком и в наушниках не работает звук: TikTok или YouTube и другие сайты, которые нужен звук, и потом я хочу просто сам это сделать и, может быть, помочь. Все мы станем на своём движке, а все браузеры. Опера, Яндекс, и чтобы картинка в картинке работала. Покадрово, ну, может быть, найти кого-нибудь. Интересный кадр, и в игре это будет видно заметно, и я просто изучаю. Новые технологии, спасибо за ну такую программу, как «Фаерфокс».

"'Hello, I just wanted to let you know. What needs to be fixed: sound or just to make all extensions and platforms work on Mac Windows 11? You're an android, like I'm launching a video, I want to watch it. Sound doesn't work with sound and headphones: TikTok or YouTube and other sites that need sound, and then I just want to do it myself, and maybe help. We will all run on our own engine, and all browsers. Yandex Opera, and to make picture-in-picture work. HR wise, well, maybe find someone. It's an interesting shot and it will be noticeable in the game, and I'm just studying. New technologies, thanks for a program like firefox."'

Hi team,

I am facing a persistent video playback issue specifically in Firefox (latest version), while the exact same stream works perfectly fine on Google Chrome and VLC player.

When I try to play a high-definition HLS live stream from my network provider site (vraitv.com), the video stalls and buffers every few seconds. Upon inspecting the Firefox Web Developer Console, I notice frequent NS_ERROR_NET_TIMEOUT errors during the loading of .ts video chunks, along with occasional CORS warning flags.

I have already tried the following troubleshooting steps:

1. Disabled Enhanced Tracking Protection for the site. 2. Started Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode (Safe Mode) with all extensions disabled. 3. Cleared all cookies and site cache.

Unfortunately, the issue persists. Are there any hidden settings in about:config (such as modifying network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server or increasing the media cache size) that can optimize how Firefox handles concurrent video chunk loading?

Any technical guidance would be highly appreciated.

How to increase buffer time for video, how to load at least 2 min of video instead of how it's now about 30 seconds. I live in the countryside and I can't change my internet speed (I tried). I have the fastest speed that they can send, but still I can't watch anything normally because it constantly stops videos to load more
