Tabs of Gmail not working in Firefox Browser even after clearing history, cookies and the issue persist after logging out and re logging in. The issue doesn't happen in other browsers.

I have an Arch Linux installation with Plasma desktop. Software is always kept up-to-date. Sometime recently, Mozilla apps, Firefox nor Thunderbird, will no longer print, neither to pdf nor to network printer. These always worked before. Now, if even "print preview" is invoked, the dialog opens as a blank sub window with only the word "Print" in upper right, and at left center is "Preparing Preview with rotating time delay wheel, which never resolves. All other apps, including other browsers and mail handlers, will print without issue. I've tried the obvious checks with no success. Where could be the problem? Is there a helper app shared by Firefox and Thunderbird that could be the issue? The only potential remedy I have not yet tried is complete removal of both Firefox and Thunderbird, as that would cause re-configuration issues for both. It's necessary to press <ESC> to terminate the print window when it fails to respond. Screenshot attached...

When I go to the task bar and click on firefox the only thing that comes up is, top left corner it says new tab but nothing opens after that, just blank screen. I want to use firefox as my browser but if this continues I'll have to use a different browser.

YouTube videos show up as "video Unavailable".. I can see and talk in the Chat but the video OR Live Stream is shown as "video unavailable".. This only happens in FIREFOX which is my main browser. Now if I sign out, I can watch the Live Stream OR video, but CAN NOT use the Chat, IF I am SIGNED IN, I CAN use chat BUT not see the video.

I am now using (which I hate using)Microsoft Edge to see the video and chat. I WOULD LIKE to be able to use FIREFOX again! Please Help

i can't watch a streaming movie without it stopping to buffer through out the whole movie . I never have a problem watch TV shows. It wont upload the stream long enough to keep playing . Can i increase the streaming a head so the movie doesn't stop playing till the end.

I normally put the computer to sleep at night, rather than powering down (although I do that periodically). After waking the computer, and clicking Firefox open, the browser loads with the two or three tabs I last had open, and within the minute closes. There's no warning or pop-up window saying what happened. I open it again, and within the minute it closes again. This happens four times. On the fifth try, Firefox opens without the previous tabs and with just one "New Tab" showing. After that it's fine. Also, it doesn't happen if I wake the computer and let it sit for a while before sitting down.

This is an oddity that I can live with. I'm just curious about what's going on.

Thanks, Ed LeRoy

I have started to get very frequent tab crashes (all tabs) with "Gah. Your tab just crashed." message. Closing Firefox and starting it again fixes it for a bit, but then it happens again. Firefox is automatically updated. I am not aware of any recent changes to my (quite old) Windows 10 laptop, no new app/program installations, etc.

Any suggestions?

I'm using Firefox 137.0.2 on a MacBook Pro (M4) macOS Sequoia 15.4.1 . I just installed Multi-Account Containers, and have a question that's not answered in any support material I can find.

Before I installed Multi-Account Containers, I had several Firefox windows open, each with many tabs. For each window, I used "Bookmark All Tabs" to save that windows set of bookmarks in a separate Bookmark folder, e.g. "Weather Obs&Forecasts", "Reading_news", "Music & Language", "Reading_miscellany".

Is there a way that I can open a new window and open all the websites in a bookmark folder at once in a single container? (I have in mind making use of Bookmarks > Reading_news > Open All in Tabs .) Because opening a new window, opening a new tab in a container, duplicating that tab 10 times, and then using Bookmarks > Reading_news to open each of the bookmarks in one of those new containerized tabs was a real drag.

Every day Firefox logs me out and I'm required to go thru the whole sign in process again. Have been using Firefox for many years and never had this issue until the past 3-4 months. In the past, each time I opened Firefox I was connected/signed in to my account and my commonly used websites recognized me. Recently has become a major hassle and strongly considering using another default browser that will not have these issues, but would prefer to continue with Firefox if it would consistently maintain my account staying sign in.

We've changed WiFi providers from Comcast to a fiberoptic system that gives us a 2.4 network and a 5G one. For both networks, Firefox will allow some websites to load, some of the time, but not all of the time and usually it won't bother with images. For other websites, the connection just times out completely. If I switch back to the older Comcast networks, the Internet works without issue, but those networks won't be available for much longer. Firefox on my phone is doing fine, but it's like this when I try my old laptop, too.

I have gone through this article. Made sure Firefox can get through the firewall. Poked at the proxy server settings; nothing changes whether it's off, auto-detect, or using system proxy settings. Disabled IPv6. Disabled DNS Prefetching. Cleared my cookies and history. Checked for malware. Gone into Troubleshoot mode to see if it's an extension. Nothing helps!

After updating firefox from 128.8.0 to 128.9.0, no embedded videos will play (youtube, instagram, plex, etc...)

The only way to get them to play is to run the browser in troubleshoot mode. Even a fresh browser profile doesn't work. Disabling hardware acceleration also does not work. Tried firefox 137.0.2 and that also does not work. Downgraded back to 128.8.0 and videos play flawlessly again.

I'm running firefox on gentoo linux on a thinkpad x13s (arm64) which uses Qualcomm Adreno 690 graphics.

Anything I should try would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Trying to print UPS labels and I get the error message: Unable to connect

I've used Google Maps in Firefox for years on a Surface PC. Over the past couple of weeks, I've found that Google Maps will select a route or routes, but they don't show up (highlighted in blue) on the page. What's happened? Is there a fix...?

Many thanks.

I'm running Firefox 137.02 on Mac desktop - on multiple websites I can't open drop-down menus and select a choice, most troublesome is not being able to log-out because of this - I have seen previous question but they are all years old. I have tried closing Firefox and restarting as well as restarting my Mac.

Thanks for any help Jean McQ
