Firefox supportforum

I am using windows 10 64. Youtube videos don't play on the latest version of firefox, but do with microsoft edge. The spinning loading circle icon appears but video playback just doesn't work on any video at all, not even youtube shorts. This seems to be a problem only with firefox version 106.0.1 and 106.0.2 on my system. I downgraded to firefox version 105.0.3 and had no issue with youtube playback.

After making a jump to FF 105, my virtual bookmark function started landing on different places each time I invoked it, even though I wasn't changing the window.pageYOffset value. Now after updating to FF 106, where I had the option of setting that value using the onLoad option, the page remains absolutely blank until I confirm or reject the window.pageYOffset value. Since I cannot see where on the page I am positioned (because it won't finish loading) it is now useless. This tool had been my most frequently used function for many years as I could reposition to a desired location by merely pressing my home key. OnKeydown it would jump to the top of the page and onKeyUp, it would return me to virtual bookmarked position, no matter where I was on the page. For some of my pages, I would invoke it more than once in less than a minute. It was really useful!. (Now it is useless!) These problems happened immediately after each FF update.

Imported bookmarks html from Firefox (win 10) to Firefox (win 11) not showing on bookmarks only on Manage Bookmarks.

I only see a few dozen random bookmarks when I go to the three slash "Open Application Menu" and none of the Folders. If I go into Manage Bookmarks I can see the folders and other missing bookmarks.

I forgot my "primary password" so I reset my password twice today. However, the browser pop up window keeps asking me for my "primary password" and this pop up window will not accept the new passwords. I also deleted Firefox from my computer and re-downloaded it, but this did not help. I attached a picture of this pop up window that has not updated even after I reset my password. I also cannot log out and log back into my firefox account in my browser without entering this password.

Is there anything else I can do? I understand that my data will be lost when I reset the primary password.

Hi Can you tell me how to revert to the old password that I mistakenly replaced with the new one when I saved the site? I really need to restore the previous password to the site!

Firefox update just changed top menu bar color setting to RED. Awful!!! How do I get back to reset the top color bar? Have spent 30 minutes trying to find answer without success

I've been trying to search on Bing to get their search points, but they are not registering on Firefox. Other browsers do not seem to have this problem. This is happening very recently. I've started Firefox on safe mode, refreshed it, still not working. I've disabled add-ons as well but nothing. It only refreshes to add something at the end of the URL, not sure if that helps.

I keep getting a rectangle popping up asking for my PRIMARY PASSWORD--Mozilla Firefox Please Enter Primary Password Sign In Cancel

I've tried every password I know & none work. So I changed my Firefox password (primary?? I don't know)

The rectangle continues to pop-up. To get rid of it I hit Cancel a couple of times.

I can access my Firefox Account But this rectangle is totally annoying.

What can I do? I need help. HELP!

I was looking at an article on CNN when the fan in my PC started winding up to its top speed. I pulled up the Task Manager and found that 29 instances of Firefox were running simultaneously! Is there a way for us to limit the number of Firefox instances so that it won't completely paralyze my computer? I remember this happening a couple of years ago and I moved to a different browser, but I'd really rather get this under control than switch browsers.

Hi, yet again, I've opened Firefox to find just one tab, a Mozilla ad in this case; the 40 or so tabs I had open are gone. I had prepped for a day's work ahead and had opened the tabs I needed for research and work, ready to start in the morning. I don't know what's causing it; I do know that this most often happens when I've shut down Firefox, then go to Thunderbird for a last check of emails, and click on a link in an email which opens Firefox.

Is this a bug? Does Firefox just not like being opened via an email link? Is it a problem if a Firefox private window has been left open inadvertently, even though Firefox was properly shut? Or is it just Firefox updates that cause this problem? It's been happening for a while now, and is really frustrating and costly, workwise. Yes, I do have restore previous session ticked. I've shared the data report below - at the time of this post, not at the time of opening Firefox. Any help would be really appreciated, especially if it's simply explained :) Thank you

Firefox has auto-updated with lastest version and all new menu items and ALL my hundreds of BOOKMARKS have disappeared. Also, a new new product called Firefox Private browsing has been installed without my knowledge.

My bookmarks I use for work and life, and will very hard to re-create.

The browsers I have used before have always stored the bookmarks in a safe place?

I have turned off Auto-update as it obviously doesn't work or has serious bugs.

Below I show screen shots of the blank page on firefox which has the firefox logo all but diminished under the private browsing mask. It's the same on the start bar but of course much smaller.

It makes it look like the new brand of firefox is the private browsing mask (I am always in that mode except for netflix).

I prefer the firefox logo and I surely don't need to know when I'm in private browsing on the start bar. The home page I don't care about, but I know I'm in private browsing cause the upper area of firefox says private browsing right on the browser itself. I have no idea why we would need be made aware that we're in private browsing, it seems the opposite would be more helpful.

I'm writing because I don't like this new firefox tiny icon with a big purple mask over it. Wanted to let you know.

If you're changing brands or something? To a purple mask? And private browsing isn't all that great.

The image on the left below is the new firefox icon on the start bar. The one on the right is on the blank page which I don't care about at all but it's just a bigger picture.

Who/what is firefox?

I love firefox, but just saying.

Thanks for hearing.

How do I allow Filter (an app) to block websites in Firefox (which is what it is supposed to do)? It works on Chrome just fine. How do I give it permission? Or should I leave Firefox forever so I can take control of my life?

I denied permission to a website to access my camera and microphone on the top toolbar. How do I grant permission now to the websoite. I did not mean to deny permission every time I visited. I am also using another computer with windows 10pro and I am havin the same issue

I am rebuilding a laptop and thought I'd go back to using Firefox after a stint with Opera.

I have 106.0.2 installed and all seems to be good except I can't get into any of my web sites that require a yubikey for the 2FA.

The key simply doesn't work (for example twitter).

I have found the suggestions about turning on the webauth flags (which were already active by the way), but that hasn't helped.

The key works fine in Opera which is annoying.

Is there a way around this or do I give up on firefox again?

Hello, I've been experiencing some issues after updating to version 106. I can be watching a video, listening to a music of viewing a site and randomly, the browser would become unresponsive and freeze. The funny thing is that music or videos keep playing in the background and the RAM or CPU usage never goes down but I can't do anything. After a while if I try to click on the browser, it then brings up a popup telling me that the app is unresponsive and I could either wait or close the app. Previously I had waited for over 2 hours hoping that it would fix itself but that never happens. The only saving grace is that I am able to restore my previous tabs after closing Firefox but tabs on my private tabs are gone forever (P.S. It's not p0rn but site that i don't want cached on my browser). This started from me updating to version 106 and currently am on 106.0.2 but the issue persists. I was hoping someone can assist me with this as I do prefer using Firefox.

Hello, I chose as new tab the Fireofx Home default, but it loads the website https://find-it.pro/. Is this firefox default new tab page? or is this a virus or maclisious script? Thanks for looking into this.

Every other day when I open up Firefox, I am asked to do an update. This is not an exaggeration. Literally, every other day this browser says it needs an update. Is this normal? If so, why in the world does this browser need to be updated so unbelievably frequently?

Hello!

I reinstalled Windows on my PC. After installing Firefox and logging in with my account, ALL my saved passwords are gone.

What required to access my logins?

Thank you in advance!
