When trying to set Firefox to open a file on Windows 11, it is overwritten by Firefox Nightly. I have both branches installed.

This is how it goes when attempting to set Firefox as a default application in my machine:

  1. "Apps > Default Apps"
  2. .mp4 (for example)
  3. click the button below that displays the current default application
  4. Firefox Nightly appears in this menu
  5. "Choose an app on your PC"
  6. "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox" ... "firefox.exe" ... "Open"
  7. Firefox Nightly remains in this menu

I cannot get Firefox to appear as an available app in this menu. The only workaround, although inconvenient, is to drag and drop files straight into Firefox.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

javascript contains the following code:

var txt = "<tr><td" if (SecIndent[i] > 0) txt+= " class='In" + SecIndent[i] + "'" txt+=' onclick("' +'go2('+ "'_" +i +"')"+ '")>' +SecNames[i] +'</td></tr>' alert(txt) // txt += ' onclick("go('+"_'><a href="#_'+i+'">'+SecNames[i]+'</a></td></tr>' document.write(txt); }

seems to be working right -alert displays: <tr><td onclick("go2('_3')")>Chapter 1 – The Number Tiles</td></tr>

when I inspect element it shows <td onclick("go2('_3')")="">Chapter 1 – The Number Tiles</td>

where did the extra =" come from? when I tried other browsers still problems but inspect element was different hopefully this isn't a Windows 10 problem, but very wierd if it is

when I hit full screen in the lower left on youtube videos it says full screen unavailable on all videos. I have tried all the recommended setting adjustments in the config and they don't work. yet full screen for youtube videos works in all other browsers on my mac which is an M2 pro macbook pro running sequioa 15.7.4

Please fix this as it is really annoying and I may stop using this browser if it is not taken care of. It just started yesteday out of nowhere. No changes were made on my computer during this time.

Good Morning! I've just come back to FF after using another browser for quite a few years. Things have changed alot here, but I'm loving it all so far! With that being said, have been trying to get a few extensions set up. Main one being Open Link with New Tab. (WHY doesn't FF do that automatically? lol.) Anyway, obviously I'm doing something wrong because it just stays grayed out. I've uninstalled/reinstalled quite a few times. I know it's something so basically simple and I'm overlooking it. HELP! Thanks! Lynn

This must be a setting in Firefox somewhere relating to Tabs, so I will continue to investigate, but... I feel like I could always click an email link I had received and it would open my preferred browser, in my case Firefox Mac OS latest (both) on a last Intel Macbook Pro. Now, a link click opens Firefox but only to the last page I was on, and I again need to click the email link to get the new tab to open. Why/where/help please?!

Not sure if "browse" is the correct topic but here we go:

After a random crash (I don't remember the details, been a while) I've "refreshed" Firefox. Following that I started to have some problems with Google Meet. Haven't had any for years and suddenly when i open Google Meet (working from home and using Google Meet as an online meeting platform daily), everything becomes unresponsive. I can't change tab, cannot close Firefox from the close button, nothing. I open the Windows Task Manager and End Task manually to close the window so I can restart the browser. After restarting Firefox and launch Google Meet, it doesn't crash.

The other problem is when I try to watch something on Netflix, I hear the sound, see the subtitles but the video content is not present. It's just black screen with UI on it. Yes, I checked the DRM setting and no, other streaming services that I use don't have this problem. I can bypass this by launching Firefox in troubleshoot mode but I want to use my extensions. I even tried to enable them one-by-one to see if anyone causing problems but even when I disable all of my extensions like in the troubleshoot mode I'm still having the same problem.

I tried several solutions that I found on reddit etc. but nothing worked so far. I also re-installed Firefox and nothing changed.

Please help me before I lose my mind (:

Firefox is causing my wifi adapter to shut down

Running firefox for any length of time will shut down my wifi adapter at a random moment. The only solution is reboot

Using opera, the problem does not occur, I can run opera continuously without problem. Running firefox at anytime will cause the fail at some point.

Im running windows 11 I have run firefox in safe mode Disabled all addons Set to “No Proxy” Disabled power saving on the adapter Replaced firefox with the ESR version 140.8 , previous version was the latest I note that there are up to 11 firefox process instances in task manager (all cleared when firefox is shut down) Firefox is set to update automatically Several updates have occured during this problem Disabled hardware acceleration Cleared cache Latest wifi driver And a few more that I cant recollect at the moment

Running out of hair to pull out

Any idea’s?
