youtube: Ad blockers violate YouTube's Terms of Service - i have no adblockers (extensions) on this NEW (installed 10/19/23) firefox on imac or on my macbookpro (which still allows me to watch youtube).

/edit: moved thread from Firefox for iOS (for iPhone/iPad) to Firefox section as you have macOS on your iMac and macbook.

I have turned off all extensions, allowed all permissions on the page, changed the Privacy to Standard, turned off enhanced protection, but I still cannot get the popup to show on this page (need login to see actual page)

I cannot find anything else which can be blocking it, but something is.

If I load the page in Edge, it works fine.

When attempting to sign in using google on firefox, the page I've included as an image below pops up. In order to solve the issue, I've tried clearing cookies and browsing data, refreshed firefox, and uninstalled and then reinstalled firefox. This happens on all websites, and only when using firefox.

we are using defence travel system website. earlier there was no issue in website but after updating the mozilla firefox it is showing secure connection failed. Error code: SSL_ERROR_HANDSHAKE_FAILURE_ALERT. same website is opening in other browser but not opening in mozilla. we have tried many times to install certificate of that website. The certificate is valid up to 2027. kindly do needful ASAP.

Today I suddenly had a problem signing in to my Gmail account, after I restarted my computer. Google requested that I clear my cookies and cache, which I did, but the error message persisted.

I contacted Google support and was able to access Gmail through Chrome, so they determined it is a Firefox issue.

What do I need to do, to get this issue resolved? Firefox is currently my default browser and I'd prefer to keep it that way but I need access to my Gmail.

Please help?

I recently got a new computer, Apple iMac. I'm trying to transfer all my bookmarks I have on my older HP computer to the newer computer Apple. I downloaded the Firefox browser to the iMac. I see where there is a link to transfer bookmarks when I loaded the browser. But, when I click on the link, nothing really happens? There is no transfer of my bookmarks for my old computer to the newer computer. My OS with my older HP was Windows 7. My OS with my acquired Apple is Monterey. Can someone be of help with transferring bookmarks from one computer to another? I have many bookmarks so it would be very helpful to be able to make that transfer. Thank you.

Hi,

I just wanted to let CollieSmile that I really like their themes shown on Firefox. I am not sure how to reach her/him, so I thought I would start here. Nothing to complain about, just like the themes. How can one reach the creators here? Thanks

I subscribe to Shutterstock, but though the image selection is excellent, I'm having problems finding the option to save or save as, so I can't successfully download them and insert them in the text of my post. What's the fix for this?

I am a subscriber of YouTube Premium. Q1: I downloaded a streaming video and closed and reopened Firefox. I recognized the one I downloaded from the list of YouTube links on Firefox. Thus, I could replay the video from the link. Now, I am supposed to be able to play the video offline or without an internet connection. But if I unplug the network cable from the machine and launch Firefox, nothing on the screen, including the video link. Q2: Where is the downloaded video file saved?

I ma not sure what happened. My pages are missing information, I type and nothing is showing up. I lost my passwords etc trying to restore my app. I have a mac. I go on Safari no issues, just in firefox

Hello,

My bookmark folders (containing all my bookmarks) disappeared in this latest update. I followed the instructions indicating how to restore my bookmarks, selecting the date I wanted to restore from - but it didn't work. I got an error message saying, "Unable to process the backup file." How can I get all my bookmarks back?

Thank you!

Everything started when I was fed up with ads on youtube. I purchased ad blocks. Then I had troubles with ad blocks. Ad blocks keeps breaking down. It will work for a few weeks then cracking. This went on for a long time until finally they said I had an old version, that I have to download the current version and they sent me a link. I tried it and then the link said I have to choose a paying option. I knew that's not a special link. They just sent me the same link for buying a new adblocks. I subscribed a 5 year program. And their service didn't even last a year.

In the mean time google keep flashing the ad of subscribing to youtube with a prime service.

But I started to download Firefox. I had a terrible time downloading it. I failed a couple of times. I finally managed to download and install Firefox. In the mean time the suspicion about google is messing around with my account started.

I haven't been happy with google for a long time, ever since they started to monitor people's comments on youtube. So after I deleted my videos and then I went into troubles of making comments on youtube. Finally I succeeded changing the code they gave me to a name I can remember. In the mean time they discontinued my account. All kind of things happening to me. I finally shrugged them off as a matter of miscommunication. But the flashing ads became a flashing warnings, something like you must choose google or discontinue adblocks. Then I started searching if there's a battle between google and adblocks. Finally firefox came through, and I was still troubled by annoying ads. Finally I got so mad, I just deleted adblocks completely out of my computer. And somehow I found firefox has an option I can turn on to block the ads. Ever since then I was enjoying watching youtube again. And google's warning became more frequent and I just close the window without choosing any options.

All through this period, I ran into troubles with my computer on and off. I keep telling myself it's because my grandson is playing with my computer. But I cannot help thinking things are really getting out of hand. I need some help.

My grandson finally getting used to using my daughter's computer. I really shouldn't have that much trouble any longer. This morning when the stock market started trading. My Robinhood page didn't update and showing the durrent stock prices. It went on for a while. I googled if the market is on holiday. It's not a holiday. Then I tried to refresh the page, and nothing works. I finally deleted the page and started a new page. Then it worked. This went on for about an hour. It seriously disturbed me a great deal. I chatted with Robinhood, and they said they didn't have any trouble with their internet. I know it's time to ask help from Firefox. It's google messing up with my account. Can anyone tell me otherwise? Please help.

Noticed earlier today that after a Firefox update two icons appeared on the taskbar. Now I'm finding that whenever I try open Firefox from the taskbar it doesn't remember my previous session and looks as if I've signed out, Firefox behaves normally if I launch from the start menu.

I'm using Firefox Browser Windows MSIX package, mozzilla-MSIX - 1.0 v1.3.1.0 (64-bit). On Windows 11 Pro v23H2 build 22631.4169.

I use a web application that lists items in a table, which provides a link to download the table as a CSV file. It used to work fine in previous versions of Firefox. However, in the current version, while the file save dialog defaults to a filename that ends in .csv and CSV is selected in the "Save as type:" drop-down, the data in the file that Firefox actually saves is in XML rather than CSV format. I don't know in which version of Firefox this behavior changed, as it's been a couple years since I tried to use this feature. Or I suppose it actually could be a new bug. I do know that when I use the same feature in Microsoft Edge, it saves the CSV file in the correct format, so this behavior seems to be peculiar to Firefox, rather than anything wrong with the web application.
