Firefox Community Forum

Videos on Bluesky have never appeared for me, instead they all say "Your browser does not support the video format. Please try a different browser." This seems to happen regardless of the video source.

Hello, when I browse the internet, randomly the certificates seem to break as I get https certificates for sites that seem to have nothing to do with the sites that i intend to visit. Then errors like the ones in the screenshots appear. Usually reloading the website helps and then the certificate displayed seems to be correct. I did make sure to upgrade to the latest version of FF (136.0) and I did clear all cookies, but it didnt help. I do not really have any idea where to start searching or what might cause this, tia for help. kind regards Thomas

Hi, browser movie streaming on Amazon.com Prime posts an error over every movie as of last night that states it can't play HD content due to wrong OS or Browser not being up to date. Then it defaults to SD bit rates.

I'm not the only one with the error on Amazon's forum.

The "error" which is more like a warning, appears as a bubble in the lower right corner of the streaming content (movies specifically).

Checking my router logs shows that all is well in the badlands, no warnings, no dropped packets. And as I said, streaming movies in HD was just working last week and no other website I visit is affected.

I use DRM content on this PC everyday. I don't have issues with any other streaming platform or websites. I have cleared cookies and stored data I have rebooted my system a ridiculous amount of times. I have not reset Firefox but I have uninstalled and reinstalled it, and imported all of my synced info.

HARDWARE SPECS: Windows 11 pro PC AMD Thread ripper 2920. Gigabyte Designare X399 board. 64 GB of I think patriot ram. A single m.2 Pcie as my C drive. AMD 6900XT graphics card with latest drivers. 1000 watt corsair rm 1000i - stable power. All windows drivers are latest and stable. I don't have any warnings in my system devices. I have the security feature for TPS 2.0 enabled in bios or I wouldn't be able to boot Windows 11 pro. My system is not overclocked. I can ping everyone and everything I choose to. I use Quad 9 as my https DNS. I DON"T dual boot my hardware. I don't use a virtual machine to run windoze.

I ask you, dear reader and developer extraordinaire, What have you all done to my precious internet and web? What magical and simple switch can I toggle to get Amazon prime HD streaming back?

Obviously it is Amazon services refusing to stream in HD over a browser interface. But why suddenly? This sure appears to be some kind of dark social engineering scheme to see how many are affected and how much they can get away with. But I have to check with you as I am not a programmer nor a designer.

Peace be upon you and yours. Please dump google like a pyrex pan from the oven with no mits on.

I updated yesterday to Windows 11. Following that update,I had a few difficulties getting Firefox up & running. It seems to be OK now except for the Firefox icon appearing twice on my taskbar when I switch on my computer. Is there an easy solution? I am not technically skilled. Thanks for any guidance.

I have always had them setup. And I would expect a prompt when my computer had been shut down, or OS/FF had updated - seems normal. As of a couple weeks maybe months ago, I'm being asked for it what feels like constantly. In fact, It just asked me twice back to back withing the same session/tab/interaction with Passwords. That feels like a lot, esp if you actually have longer and more complex pwds than 90% of us. (And me sometimes, not claiming to be a pw angel or anything lol). But personally, Mozz/FF passwords fall into the top tier of my brains security hierarchy, along with my Apple Account, private keys, device encryption, MFA recovery, etc...things you'd generally be sure to incorporate best practices with and really don't wanna forget or lose. I don't really love the idea of turning it off, buuuut getting a bit grumpy about being pestered all day from Firefox.

So bug? Updated policy? I just woke up form a Coma and simply don't recall 2024? Hopefully not the third one.

On an M4 Max running Sequoia Version 15.2 (24C101) using FIrefox 136.0.1 at the moment, but have noticed the same on a Yoga/Windows 11, iPhone, M1 Macbook Pro.

Privacy/Security is set to Strict. No sus permissions I can see. HTTPS only. DNS over Cloudflare (Default Protection). No exceptions of any type granted. Aside from Mozilla (for Extensions), and Google (for Popups).

Thanks yall.

Oh (and I should prob open a proper ticket but while) but I'm here, and I just noticed the line about "On macOS, some background tabs will be moved to lower power cores, reducing energy usage." from a recent Firefox update brief. I've been having a rough time lately on this M4 Max - 16 cores, 64GB mem with tabs freezing up the whole browser, every window. Sometimes the whole OS. Not specific to any certain site, and has happened with 1 windows and 3 tabs open just as often as 4 windows with 40 tabs open. And usually I cant even get to Activity Monitor at that point to see if it looks like a memory leak, or whatever. And if I can get it to shut down (the browser), it will get into this loop where it just loads back up all the same windows, and that same particular tab will lockup again as soon as I click on it. And it takes foreevvvver to load back up even when I don't interact with the browser aside from CMD-Tabbing tf out of there. Tbh I'd prefer FF to launch clean after being told to shut down. Always have the option to load recent windows anyway....

^ aaand then saw the blatantly obvious checkbox to turn off reload on start my bad. 😅

Sorry last thing - what exactly does "We've made some educated guesses about your current browser and operating system." mean? Yeah that sounds straightforward, and I would expect that from most websites? I think? I know you want to be transparent, but that phrasing sounds weirdly aggressive lol

I've had to reinstall Firefox because of several viruses. I have a password and an account recovery key. How do I restore my Firefox account, bookmarks, and passwords?

I am tired of clicking and scrolling and clicking and scrolling to find something I use constantly. It's fine to bury "settings" in a menu because I only use it once or twice. But things that we constantly use daily should be prominently displayed front and center. When I make a user interface I always make the daily use items as easy as possible. Rare use items can be hidden away in a submenu because it will only rarely irritate users, and in fact, if it can be destructive, it should be buried deep in the menu tree so you don't click it by accident.

Dear Sir/Madam I am unable to reach Jiohotstar website since last three days. The same site is accessible through Microsoft Edge and Chrome browsers. I also tried through Firefox browser on a different machine but could not succeed. I have cleared all the cookies and cache as well but it was of no use. Firefox is running with the latest version. There seems to be a glitch in the browser somewhere. Pankaj Mittal Mail : pankajmittal105@gmail.com

I'm having problems connecting to a server. I know it is a valid address because I can get it on other computers but it is now block on my computer. Is this a firewall problem and if so how do I fix it. the server address is" click.coverkit-mail2.com". How do I fix this?

My e-mail will not load sub links. It pops up a list of links not related to the e-mail. Stated when I installed avast. Took avast off. DID NOT fix problem. What now???

My computer displays were dramatically different one morning a couple of days ago, as MS Edge seems to have overtaken control of my system, which included changing the displays on my monitors. I have restored the system to a few days ago when the system was correct, but the restore resulted in the same Edge displays. With considerable effort to overcome Edge, I have also made Firefox my default browser. After resetting and restarting, my One Note pages are still no longer available and my displays have not changed from the Edge-changed ones. Any additional ideas? Please?

Good afternoon. Since recently (probably after the last Firefox update to version 136.0) I have a problem: every time I start Firefox it requires the main password set in the settings. Before this problem did not occur, no settings were changed.

I read the official article on this topic, but the recommendations described there did not help me. I turned off the password, logged out of the browser, turned it back on, logged out again, and nothing. When I turned it back on, still at every startup it asked for the password.

I also noticed that every time I start it up, the loading circle next to the cursor spins, like something is happening. Can you tell me what it could be and how to get rid of this problem?

OS: Windows 11 24H2.

The comment section on various sites is no longer displaying, The Federalist, Townhall, Pjmedia, Hotair, Redstate. All use disqus.com. Settings under privacy and security set to standard. Manage exceptions list all these, including disqus. Turned off, restarted, reloaded sites (not from bookmarks). Works on Edge but not Firefox. Do I just discontinue using Firefox and be done with this? Just checked Firefox for updates-says mine is up-to-date, version 136.0.2.

In my Win 10 PC, Firefox has been set to update automatically as it is recommended.

136.0.2 (64-bit) is the most recent one that updated automatically.

Now all my extensions have been wiped out, my workspace changed.

That is such a breach of integrity, and a lack of respect for the user, and his carefully set up work environment, when an Auto-Update just molests my work environment. And then I have to take out hours from my busy routines, to devote to restoring everything to how it was.

There is no rollback feature for Updates, esp when Updates do the havoc they do.

There is no proper Session Management, and a standard protocol for saving, aggregating sessions across different installs, rollbacks, etc, and having the most updated, and complete one, where the onus is on the user not losing data.

Now I have to go hunt around for the past profiles, and name the present one as old, and hope that Firefox functions with integrity, and completeness to restore my whole work environment from the last profile. I'll of course be losing whatever work I happened to do in the new profile now. One never knows how complete these profiles are to reconstruct things exactly the way they were.

Strange. I always believe that stability, and integrity, and a dedication towards that on behalf of the user would be the primary goal. Now it's all about chasing something else, some bells and whistles, and faster performances, and throwing stability, and data integrity under the bus.
