Firefox supportforum

What is it about YouTubeTV in Firefox that breaks my ability to control playback? I can click with mouse, but shortcuts ("Play (k)", "Back 15 seconds (j)", or "Forward 15 seconds (l)") stop working repeatedly and I'm forced to go back to using my mouse (Wacom Intuos Pro M). This doesn't sound like a big deal until you're forced to watch an offensive "My Pillow" ad or worse, and I can't immediately stop the playback of these radicalized terrorists. Or if while watching a DVR recording, it stops allowing me to skip thru commercials, or pause playback without picking up my pen (mouse) to get back in control of the 'playback' features.

Strangely, this never happens on YouTube videos/content. Those same controls ('shortcuts') work fine there.

I have problem with some websites, Firefox would flash white screen when I click between menu pages

1. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/onedrive/online-cloud-storage

Top menu bar, clicking back and forth with those menu links

1. https://www.ghacks.net/

Top menu bar, clicking back and forth with those menu links

1. https://mpv.io/manual/

Those 2 HTML links, click and press back then repeat

1. https://vndb.org/

NSFW, side menu, clicking back and forth with those menu links Footage, compare between Edge and Firefox:

1. Flash white, so maybe epilepsy warning
2. One of the sites is NSFW, but by default they're all hidden, some text may say "18+", etc, but no NSFW images were shown in the footage

https://1drv.ms/u/s!AmwlKvqIgGxK_Anfz5d4pnjOdLns This could be just Firefox default behavior, but it's a bit frustrating, I hope someone can help me with this.

I use Firefox in 4 different devices and only one shows the vulnerable passwords and all of them are synced and also all of them have the same settings.

Any idea as to what may be going on and how to solve it?

Thanks.

I see in the blog the roboform extension does not work with Firefox for many users. It errors that it only works in a browser. Why can't Roboform see or associate the connection when Firefox browser is in use. If it is in use, then Roboform should work. Is it a Firefox problem or a roboform problem? Between both of you surely someone can resolve this problem? It seems Roboform has washed their hands of the problem because they reply with a standard enable process that doesn't work for many people. I am on my 2nd new computer and still have the same problem. Again the error states it only works when the browser is in use. If the browser is in use, then what is the problem? thanks for any assistance you can provide.... I like Firefox and Roboform, it would be a blessing to have both working at the same time. A screenshot is attached for the error

Hi I am losing all my windows and tabs within these windows when Firefox does updates.

I lost 3 lots of windows with tabs just before Christmas 2022 and about two months ago they all appeared again after an update, I was so happy, then about 1 hour ago I found another update was done today 28-5-2023 and now I have lost them all again. But another group of 2 windows including tabs that I lost about two & a half month ago turned up instead.

Are you able to help me find the disappeared windows/tabs and be able to keep these windows & tabs until I am finished with them, it is very annoying

Thank you Regards, Doug

As a professor at a large university in a college town, Google Scholar is a primary resource for me and thousands of others in this city. Doing Scholar searches on Firefox, I am often interrupted by the following Firefox message:

Our systems have detected unusual traffic from your computer network. This page checks to see if it's really you sending the requests, and not a robot. Why did this happen? IP address: 50.24.52.109 Time: 2023-05-28T15:12:13Z URL: https://scholar.google.com/scholar?cluster=11934070011569534288&hl=en&as_sdt=5,44&sciodt=0,44&as_ylo=2022&scioq=complex+adaptive+systems+%22concept+analysis%22

How can I stop that interruption from occurring? It does not occur on Chrome or Opera.

Thank you.

Is there any way to turn off the button "Open video in a new tab" that appears when you hover on an Instagram video? This button is blocking a button from an extension that I want to use.

I was having issues playing videos. All I would get was a black screen, but I could hear the audio. Although some videos, like facebook shorts, played just fine. And I could view videos in other browsers. Tried several things I saw suggested on threads having the same issues, but ultimately I uninstalled firefox and then reinstalled it and it seemed to have fixed the issue. Hopefully this helps others having the same issue. I tried to suggest it on a few of those threads but they were locked.

Often when I click on links that take me to video's Foxfire will not launch the video. It stalls and takes forever to load or it does not load at all. I am finding that with more sites as time goes on. Google photos also won't load in a timely manner BUT of I change to Chrome everything loads quickly. This didn't use to be a problem but now is, any solutions out there.

I'm trying to use multi-account containers to use twitter and other sites from accounts unique to the container.

For twitter, if I select a container, a new tab opens with the twitter login page in that container. If I try to login, another tab opens in that container, with the login page. So, I can never log in.

Is there a solution?

Hi

I would need some help

Example. Let's say I'm using FirefoxTranslations to translate an average-sized article, on Wikipedia, from German into English.

On the top left hand side of the screen, FirefoxTranslations tells me it has downloaded 17'140'835 bytes.

It always seems to be the same amount of bytes. This is downloaded for every single translation.

I thought that, once downloaded, the vocabulary would be stored, locally, on my computer. Permanently.

Doesn't look like it's happening.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for any help

Christian

Hi guys,

I hope you can help. To bring you up to speed, you can check below past articles for similar problems.

This problem has just resurfaced. In a nutshell, when I type "Lost IMDb" or "Tyson Wiki" in the URL bar and hit enter, that would take me straight to that page of that site. So "Lost IMDb" and enter would take me here: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0411008/

Now it takes me to random search results like so: https://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=lost+imdb

Similar to "I'm feeling lucky" Google search is what I want back. When FF got rid of "Keyword.URL" search, I had to use an add-on such as: Google Browse by Name search engine to get similar results. Now also that has stopped working lately.

Can anyone help me get that type of search result back please?

Thank you kindly.

I have an intermittent problem with the back and forward buttons skipping pages. My home page is a blank page. From the home page I select the YouTube bookmark. I intend to right click on a video and select Open Link in New Window, but sometimes my touchpad doesn't see it as a right click and opens the video. When the video is done if I click on the back button, the browser takes me to the home page (blank) instead of the first YouTube page. If I then click on the forward button, YouTube loads a new page of videos to watch. There is no way to get back to the original first YouTube page which is annoying if there was something else I wanted to watch. I've had this happen with other sites as well. I originally thought this was a Firefox issue but now am wondering if my touchpad is interpreting the click on the back button as two clicks and causing it to go back two pages. Is this possible?
