This is a bit of an odd question, but I'm gutted. I have pretty severe OCD and AI tools have become very problematic for my reassurance seeking behaviors. I just got all of them blocked using tools like coldturkey and screen time. Now as of this update they're all in my firefox sidebar, and so far I see no way to block, only hide them (the trouble here is I know it's there, if I'm feeling a compulsion it's incredibly difficult not to follow through). Is there any iron clad way to block this? I hate how hard these things are being pushed!

What the title says. Firefox just isn't playing any sound whatsoever.

Troubleshooting:

• Volume mixer indicates that Firefox is using my speakers, along with all other apps. When playing a YouTube video, the green bar is not bouncing. However, all other programs that play sound do so successfully and their green bars are bouncing (see attachment).

• Other web browsers play sound successfully.

• Restarting Firefox and my computer did not help.

• Switching the default sound device and changing back did not help.

• Changing to headphones made no change.

• Tabs are not muted.

• Autoplay settings in about:preferences showed that audio and video were disabled, however changing this setting to allow video and audio, then restarting both Firefox and the computer did not fix the problem. I have no idea how that setting was even changed to begin with. O_o

• Started Firefox in troubleshooting mode; still no sound.

• Started Firefox in a different profile; still no sound.

• Started Firefox in private mode; still no sound.

• Tried ending the audiodg.exe process in task manager and restarted; still no sound.

• Double checked media.autoplay.blocking_policy, was set to 0.

• Double checked media.block-autoplay-until-in-foreground -- changed from true to false, restarted Firefox; still no sound.

• Disabled hardware acceleration; still no sound.

• Refreshed Firefox; still no sound.

• Complete uninstall, including the usage of BCUninstaller to uninstall "leftovers". Reinstalled. Still no sound.

I have Apollo installed on my computer and I've reached out to them before for similar issues, but the dev was insistent that Apollo does not cause sound issues. I'm somewhat sceptical, but they're not being helpful at all so I thought I'd ask here, and disclose usage of Apollo so that all bases are covered.

Thank you for your time.

About two weeks ago, Firefox started randomly hanging and would stop responding. It wouldn't let me close the program and I always have to restart my system to resolve the problem. Sometimes it only takes a few minutes after restart before it hangs, other times it will be fine for hours.

I've tried multiple solutions I've found online, carefully following instructions: clearing cookies and cache, disabling all extensions, refreshing firefox, creating a new profile, deleting specific files within the Profiles folder, etc.

I've yet to make it more than four hours without the program hanging.

Any assistance or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

After every update, Firefox starts to a blank screen and will not start loading the webpage url put in for over twenty minutes to a half hour. During this time other browsers on my Win 10 PC load immediately so it is not a network issue. It is Firefox. When I see that an update is pending I hesitate to do the update because I know I will lose the use of Firefox until it is ready to respond. It just hangs with "loading X.com" showing at the bottom left of the blank screen. I have been using Firefox for a long time and in the past year or longer it has become very unreliable. There are also instances where without an update it will do this and the only way I can get it to work is to clear the cache and the history through settings. What is going on with Firefox! (And lately there is an update every couple fo days!

In the past, I would create new profiles in Firefox often on my macOS Macbook pro. I want to merge them all together (merge open tabs and their saved info, cookies, bookmarks, passwords, etc.) into the same profile.

I found this tool: https://github.com/james-cube/firefox-session-merger but I'm not sure if it will do everything I want to do.

Is this possible to do without using Firefox Sync?

Hello! I cannot edit our Weebly-hosted website. Firefox will not load the editor, apparently because of embedding issues.

I've tried a new tab, a new window, the private browser, and another browser, all with the same outcome, which leads me to believe that Firefox and Weebly need to have a discussion to fix this. I've also Weebly to the tracking exceptions, even though I don't think that's the issue here.

If, however, there is something I can do, please let me know.

Thank you for any help - I need to edit our website!

how do i reload all firefox windows after vpn has trouble reconnecting. the image shows all of the "server not found" after the vpn has trouble reconnecting to another server location. thank you

I often listen to streaming audio over my AV system, when my TV/monitor is off. After I turn it on while listening, the audio speeds up! (This happens on various streams, and YouTube, so it's not a particular site. It doesn't happen on another browser, so, apparently it's not my computer.) Is this just some bug?

Dear Firefox,

I'm getting quite irate because since Firefox asked to update and restart this morning all my Amazon orders don't happen and the passwords don't work? I've always just ordered on Amazon very easily as I've been on here for many, many years!? Now Amazon keeps asking for a sign in password which I never have to do and it won't accept anything I sign in with? Its all because of Firefox's update this morning? They told me they were having difficulties and its never got put right?

Please do something about it I'm elderly and its hot and I can't keep being asked for passwords which it refuses to accept now? Please put this right?

Yours sincerely,

Jacqui Roberts (Mrs)

I type "about:config" and nothing happens. I want to toggle ON the new (?) experimental (?) Do Not Track / Do Not Sell My Info feature. How do I get to Firefox configuration data?
