Hello! When I first downloaded Firefox more than fifteen years ago, I liked two features - speed and customization. The more Firefox "grow", then more he go far from this two features I liked. Why? I know, this is only one hell of a button. But - that's all. They added much, but took more...

This is not that Firefox I loved, now it feels like I use the f***ing Chrome. So, I have question - why I need use Firefox, if I can use Chrome instead? I have Google account and I can use it with Chrome with full synchronization to my phone, why I still use Firefox? Customization? Speed? Optimization? Why? There is no reason anymore. Thanks Mozilla, Firefox was a good experience. More than fifteen years...

I have never had trouble with Mozilla before, it's been fantastic, but since I downloaded the newest version, 111.0, I am able to download any normal website, but when I try to open one of my streaming services I can log in but Firefox won't load the pages fully and won't load the videos at all.

All sites work perfectly on Chrome and Edge, but I really don't want to use either if I don't have to.

Thanks

Downloads PDF rather than Printing

I'm attempting to print to my printer, a document from Google Doc but each time I select or hotkey the print function it prompts to download the page to PDF instead.

  • Bulleted list item Sporadically it will print on some random sites, others it prompts to download PDF
  • Bulleted list item My printer is setup correctly and set to default
  • Bulleted list item Printing to my printer works on and on PC document as well as Chrome, IE, Edge every time
  • Bulleted list item I have used the 'Clear saved print settings' in the Help section
  • Bulleted list item I have changed default PDF applications to Firefox and other programs
  • Bulleted list item I have reset browser, refreshed tabs, power cycled printer

All of these changed nothing. Firefox printer settings are few and far between, I was surprised for a basic and important function.

Would appreciate any help thank you.

I'm having problems streaming live video on srf.ch (Swiss public television). The whole tab becomes unusable after streaming for a few minutes. Playback just stops and it's impossible to reload or navigate to a different address using the same tab.

This happens with a clean profile using two different computers with very different hardware. I'm able to reproduce it using Firefox 111 and 112, but not with Firefox 110. It doesn't happen in Chrome.

Unfortunately, I couldn't report it as a web compatibility bug. The person reviewing the issue wasn't able to access the streams due to geoblocking (VPN doesn't help). They asked me to provide additional information such as console logs. But even the console stops working when the problem occurs and there are no error messages before that.

Is there anything else I could try to help diagnosing this issue or is it a lost case?

Yesterday I left work and my computer on with several Firefox tabs open. Today I came in and Firefox was closed. Double clicking the icon on my desktop, or on the icon in the taskbar gives the small circle loading symbol next to the mouse for about a second. But no browser window opens. There is no indication in the Task Manager that a Firefox browser is open.

I have attempted to restart my computer several times. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox. I have tried updating Firefox. I have checked that all my drivers on the computer are up to date. I have run a Malwarebytes virus scan on my computer. I cannot get Firefox to open to check any other settings. I have tried to open Firefox on another account on the same computer and it also results in the same thing.

If anyone has any ideas that might fix this, I would really appreciate it. Thank you. Computer is a Dell OptiPlex 5070 running Windows 10.
