How about moving the pop up away from the original text, so we can see both at once?

Or show the original text in the popup as well? It really helps to be able to see both at once.

Otherwise, it's a bit of a hassle to use.

Thanks for considering!

I have no issues on other sites, even sites with embedded video content.

YouTube, however, performs extremely poorly whenever it is the active tab. Page loading is extremely slow visually - the page itself appears to be loaded, but elements haven't appeared, and some elements that should disappear when video playback begins (the YouTube logo, or the play/pause icons) persist on top of the video. Buttons and icons on the page are extremely slow to respond, even scrolling is very slow, and sometimes even mouse movement is slow - clicks take anything up to 15 seconds to register, and it takes several seconds for hover highlighting to appear.

Video playback, when it starts, may not actually be shown - that is, the audio plays, but nothing happens on-screen. Pressing pause often takes several seconds.

And, closing and reloading the tab often takes far too long as well - as in, the time between when I actually click the reload or close, and Firefox actually responds.

Sometimes, I will get the warning banner that the site is slow, but not always. If the banner appears, as long as the video is already playing clicking 'Stop' on the banner seems to resolve the issues (but, I can't use functions like the comment box, 'like' button, search bar, etc). If I do this without the video playing, I can't start the video - the playback controls no longer work.

I am reluctant to turn off uBlockOrigin or Disconnect to use YouTube. I've tried disabling other extensions to see if it makes any difference, and I've also tried switching off hardware acceleration and using the recommended performance settings instead. I haven't found any way to force YouTube to only show videos at 720p at most, but I've tried switching videos to 720p (and where I can, away from 60FPS). It makes no difference.

Are there more fine-grained performance settings that I'm missing? Is there something obvious I'm missing? It seems that it's literally only YouTube that performs this badly, and only for about the last two weeks.

So MANY times I see this warning!......

Until a week or two ago, Amazon Prime Video worked without a problem in my Firefox browser. Now I cannot get Prime Video to open any show (the play button keeps spinning and is not clickable). The website is unresponsive as well, although it loads. Here is what I have already done for troubleshooting.

1. Updated Firefox to latest version. 2. Cleared cache and cookies. 3. Checked for hardware acceleration issues. 4. Disabled IPv6. 5. Tested in Private mode with all add-ons disabled. 6. Disabled Enhanced tracking protection.

This is an issue with Firefox since Prime Video works fine on other browsers.

Hello,

I have a subscription to Mozilla VPN that I no longer use. I signed up with a proton mail address to which I no longer have access (no recovery information). I would like to cancel my subscription.

I have my bank statements showing that i pay 9.99 to Mozilla every month.

What can I do?

Thanks in advance!

Updated Firefox browser for desktop on Mac to 158.0 on 10/15/26

On 10/14/26 using previous Firefox version 157.0 on Amazon.com Prime Video section, pages would load properly and videos could be played properly.

10/15/26 using updated version on Amazon.com Prime Video section, page would initially load properly only to later freeze. Videos could not be played. And freezing could not be corrected unless closing the tab on the browser.

10/15/26 using Safari browser on Amazon.com Prime video section, pages loaded properly and videos played properly.

Clearing cache and site data on updated version of Firefox did not have any effect. Pages continued to freeze and videos unplayable when starting over and navigating to the relevant pages.

Steps to reproduce:

go to amazon.com login to account go to prime video page

expected results video selection appears and user can select and play videos

actual result video selection appear but freezes after a second or two,. videos cannot be played

Repro rate 5/5

Environment Variables Firefox 158.0 Mac OS GoldenGate 27.0.1

Other information Other amazon pages like whole foods and home page and Subscribe & save not affected Just Prime Video page affected

I have used the jeffersonscher scrounger before and it worked well. I get the jsonlz4 file from the session store backup folder and it generates all of the text that does not have what I need. I click the scrounge urls' and it just sits saying processing forever. This is probably 200 tabs but will it take this long? I have a good pc. Using the older version it just comes up with results of "window" and no url list.

Hi

So I started up just now and when I started firefox it asked me what profile I wanted to use. I have only ever used one profile but I do believe there are some default ones as I seem to remember seeing multiple ones when I did some customizing awhile back.

Anyways I chose the one I always use and it loaded fine but I noticed in my task bar that the icon now shows a small profile icon.

I want the firefox icon there but I DO NOT want the profile icon on top of the icon as so many icons will pop up showing how many alerts you have and such and I DO NOT need a useless alert on the icon telling me which profile I am using.

I posted a screen shot of what my icon now looks like where as this morning before an apparent update it just showed the normal firefox icon.

So is there a way to remove that profile icon from the firefox icon?

Also I have noticed on my right click menu where I can select to open in a new tab and such it has also added grouping features to group tags. Is there a way to remove these unwanted options as I DO NOT want to group my tabs and it's annoying when I accidentally click that option instead of the new tab option. So for this is there a way to remove certain menu items that I do not need or want? I also added a screen shot for that menu question as well

Thanks!

Firefox has decided to open twice instead of once. The version with the preset tabs is not opening automatically. Instead, the version I don't want is opening. I cannot figure out how to get rid of the version I don't want.
