Firefox Community Forum

When watching videos on youtube, I hold down the space bar to make it go at 2x speed, this makes the video and the audio de sync the more I hold the space bar, It's been happening for quite some time and I can't seem to find an answer as of why this happens or how to fix it.

Firefox decided to not play any sound on my laptop, Spotify works on itself, if I open it in Firefox it doesn't. Same with YouTube and everything else. I use Artix Linux, I double-booted with Windows and it works on it, just not on Artix for some reason. I have tried to allow acces to it, even redownloaded everything, nothing worked. It's not the biggest problem, since there are subtitles, but it would be good if it worked.

I used to paste a text selection (temporary clipboard) into the URL bar and it would replace the loaded text/url. Now, it inserts it to the existing content at the point of the cursor. Why does it do it now? Is this an option i have to disable or is it a bug?

This is on v151 now

I have my ... what do you call it? ... GTK? set up to widen the scroll bar when I hover over it. Problem is that it widens *before* the mouse cursor has moved onto the narrow bar -- it widens as soon as the cursor moves onto the territory that *will be* on the wider bar and thus, if there's a click button at the very edge of the page, it gets hidden by the expanded bar. Would it not make more sense to only expand the bar if the cursor actually moves onto it?

The following content is machine translated: The passkey feature (login via QR code scanning with a mobile phone) is not available the Linux version of Firefox. Compared to Windows and macOS, the Linux version does not have a passkey option when logging in; it only has a "security key."(as shown in the image) I cannot use the pass key saved on my iPhone to log in to websites, which is very frustrating. Is this a bug or an incomplete feature? Thank you for your reply. device: archlinux

Untranslated (chinese) : 通行密钥功能（通过手机扫描二维码登录）在linux版的firefox上并不能使用，相比windows和macos，linux版在登录时并没有通行密钥选项，只有一个“安全密钥”（如图），我无法使用保存在iPhone上的通行密钥来登录网站，这很令人沮丧，这是一个bug还是没有完成的功能？感谢您的回复 设备：archlinux

My Firefox browser has just been updated .. not by me but somehow .. to 140.11.Oesr(64-bit) Its completely messed up all my settings .. why? Its taken me the best part of this morning to sort everything out . All my bookmarks were not displayed, the web pages that should have been displayed on startup weren't.. and to cap it all the "Done" button is hidden at the bottom of the page .. and why is it needed  ? all other setting just need to be changed to set them. Its so annoyed me that I've downloaded Chrome. and I'm using Opensuse Leap!

(Note: this issue is probably the same issue as reported in 1439701 - Mouseover link tooltip url persistent through click and page load. While that user marked that issue as solved, their "resolution" makes fairly clear that the issue was never really solved.)

When hovering over a link, Firefox will typically show a tooltip at the bottom left with the link's address. Typically, this tooltip disappears when the mouse is no longer hovering over the link (whether because you moved the mouse or clicked the link). However, in some circumstances, the tooltip doesn't disappear when it should. Here's an example of how to reproduce the issue:

1. Go to YouTube 2. Search for anything. 3. Choose a result, and click on the thumbnail. (NOT on the title.)

Expected result: the tooltip showing the URL of the video disappears since the video is loading and the link you clicked no longer exists on the page.

Actual result: the tooltip persists. Once you hover over any other link on the page, behavior will return to normal.

Hi there.

So as the title suggests, I have an odd issue, where audio from calls gradually pan around my headphones. It starts normally, but slowly goes towards the right ear, and eventually it starts moving back towards the center, but very muffled, as if something is simulating audio going behind my head, then left ear, then back center. This happens across different computers, OS's, audio interfaces, headphones, so the issue is highly likely to stem from within Firefox, although I'm not ruling anything out.

I've had this issue for probably years at this point, but I very rarely take calls (ie. Teams, Messenger, Discord), so it's never been the biggest issue, but now I have to regular do calls on Teams, and it's driving me slightly nuts. This does not happen while running the respective apps, but frankly, I'd rather not have to do that.

It seems to be related to WebRTC, but I can't find a specific setting that changes anything in that regard.

I have st installed Lime on my old Asus Zenbook an have installed Nord VPN. I am using the Firefox browser showing connected to the internet but am unable to access my webmail account and its popping up messges advising Problem loading webpage and another showing 502 Bad gateway. I am also having problem with the Zenbooks Keyboard with keys randomly not operating when pressed but will work after a prolonged or multi pressing.

There are certain websites that, on firefox only, display apostrophes and quotations as Russian letters. For example, on google docs, if I type "He's such a great friend" it will display уHeТs such a great friendФ. When I open the document on the app, it is normal, but I haven't been able to figure out why it does this on my computer. I use Mozilla Firefox for Fedora 149.0.2 for reference.

I love having the VPN Add-on on my Windows 11 laptop and now I see that there's a plug in for my Android Tablet, too.

I see there's options to turn OFF the VPN, but i don't need it on all the time. To save the data limit, I keep the VPN turned off.

There are some sites that I log into that require me to either not be from Australia amd some I need to be VPN linked to specific countries, like the UK or USA.

Will there be a place to be able to list particular websites to turn the VPN ON for, and, where needed, specify a country to connect to?

I would like to use built-in VPN and forward my traffice to Charles log. I enabled both by setting the proxy to Charles log. I found that nothing shown up in the Charles when VPN is on.

How can I do it?

Mozilla VPN repeatedly gives "authentication error" when I try to log in, I have tried reset but no difference. I am working on Linux Mint with Firefox. Any tips?

Hello! I am having trouble restoring my old Firefox profile after migrating my system from Windows 10 to Linux (Fedora). I have a backup file in .html format that is 197 MB in size (originally created on Windows). When I try to select and restore it using Firefox's built-in recovery tool, it throws an error: "Something is wrong with this file. Please try again with a different file." What I have tried (and what didn't work): Moved the file from an external drive to the local Linux Downloads folder (the error persists). Tried dragging and dropping the file directly into Firefox (the recovery page loads, but the restore buttons are missing or inactive due to security/script restrictions). Tried renaming the file extension from .html to .zip to extract its contents manually, but the archiver threw a "Not a zip archive" error. The built-in recovery script fails to process a 197 MB HTML file, likely due to size limits or memory handling on local files. Could you please advise on how to properly handle and restore such a large backup file or extract my data (passwords, history, bookmarks) from it on Linux? Thank you in advance!

Recently everytime I open a page in Firefox I get the message "Open the be link?" "You'll need to choose an application. Before this I got another dialogue box asking me to open the System Handler, but I managed to get rid of that to be left with this new dialogue box. Very frustrating as it interrupts the use of Firefox. Chris

Hello everyone, I'm a newbie to Linux, just installed Mint on a Lenovo desktop Thinkcentre M81. I can't figure out how to connect to the internet. I have Surfshark VPN, Race modem and router. I have read various documentation and watched videos. My problem is I don't know what to enter in the Mint network setting, connections (verbiage, is so different) or doesn't connect on it's own. Also, the only way I can connect is using my phone as a dongle. And I can't connect without it. Also connected thru Foxfire.

Please help, I'm 79 yrs old and it takes awhile to understand what I'm doing.

Thank you and lovers to you all for reading this!
