The latest firefox browser for windows desktop pc broke the ability to log in to at&t (also called yahoo) email. The email works fine on microsoft edge and chrome. It worked fine on firefox until the last update.

I'm no longer able to play Youtube videos on Firefox. I've tried everything from re-starting laptop (this worked initially) to refreshing/updating Firefox browser as well as clearing Firefox cache and cookies. Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks, MC [email removed]@aol.com

p.s. Youtube does work and play on my Edge browser

macOS 15.6.1 Firefox 142.0.1

When I try to login to Facebook I can't and a screen appears with

"Sorry! Something went wrong :(

This happens even in Troubleshooting Mode …

Exactly the same issue with DuckDuckGo browser but no difficulties with Safari where I can login to Facebook as usual …

What should happen is that the main image should change on mouse hover over one of the images from the column on the left. Also it should be possible to use the left or right navigation arrows on the main image to cycle through the images. Neither of these actions is possible. It works fine on Edge.

I've been trying to open Google Docs on Firefox Desktop for a few hours and none of my troubleshooting has worked thus far. I've cleared my browser history and cache, have updated Firefox, disabled all browser extensions one by one, updated my proxy settings, changed my TLS preferences, and even added Google Docs to my trusted sites list on my computer itself; none of this has worked. I've been able to open Google Docs on Google Chrome, so I know that it isn't a problem on Google's end. If there are any other possible solutions, any suggestions would be appreciated.

In the webpage

when I click to listen to play a segment (▷ Listen) it shows momentarily a button but then returns to the original (▷ Listen). However, when I open the page in Chrome it plays without any problem. What could be the problem?

Ive been told that firefox does not support https://web.minidisc.wiki/ (Web minidic pro) and only google chrome does. I hate google chrome. how difficult would it be for firefox to support usb devices like a minidisc recorder player. I guess its down to drivers or some form of plug in? Could firefox be made to support my minidisc or is it too much of a security/software performance issue? Cheers Mark

When I search Google Images in Firefox, this pops up. I tried using an extension to hide it, but I can't see the rest of the image, which is inconvenient. Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome load it, so it's not an issue. Is this a Firefox feature? It's a hassle to disable the extension just to read the rest. Could you please give me some advice?

When I tried to install intuit turbotax it could not install because it kept saying that I have windows 8 or 10 and would not install. When I try to go to Costco it tell me :You don't have permission to access "http://signin.costco.com/e0714dd4-784d-46d6-a278-3e29553483eb/B2C_1A_SSO_WCS_signup_signin_201/oauth2/v2.0/authorize?" on this server.

Hello, I am suffering from an odd issue when using twitch.tv. In short, when viewing peoples streams, my video feed will usually turn into colorful static (aka "clown vomit"). I suspect that the issue is coming from Firefox, but I can't be certain. I am using a newly-bought laptop and the issue could be caused by a large number of things, theoretically. Here is what I know:

• When viewing on twitch.tv with quality 360p or higher, the video feed will usually (95%) become colorful static within 1 minute or less. When this happens, the video feed does not ever recover until page is refreshed or quality is changed. (I know a bit about video encoding, so this seems extremely odd to me, if it were due to a networking thing that lost some packets, a full-image frame should come alone sooner or later and fix things, but that never seems to happen)
• The video feed is far less likely to become corrupted when viewing at 160p, but can still happen.
• The ads may become corrupted in the same way that the main video feed can.
• When the feed is corrupted, the rest of the Twitch interface (pause/play, volume, quality select) is extremely laggy.
• When the feed is corrupted, if I pause the stream, sometimes the paused corrupted image is not completely stationary! There will be flickering in small portions of the image, looking similar to texture fighting in 3d rendering, flickering between two equally-but-differently corrupted versions of the image
• The issue never appears when using Chrome to watch twitch.tv. This is what makes me think Firefox is the culprit, not Twitch or networking or graphics drivers.
• Disabling my browser addons does not help.
• Private browsing window does not help.
• Clearing my browser cache does not help.
• I have had the issue happen on Youtube exactly once in 2 weeks, not sure if that's related or not, I think it was a normal "lost some network traffic but fixed itself the next time a full frame was received" thing.
• Video live streams on Youtube don't get corrupted the way they do on Twitch.

Can someone please give me advice for how to fix this? Has anyone seen anything like this before? Is there a way for me to get deeper under the hood of either Twitch or Firefox and more closely debug the video stream when it fails?

If I try to log in I get an email address already reg error If I try to use a link to join a channel I get a error saying the link is old (https://discord.com/invite/starrupture) Yet I can log in and join a channel tho it with same link in Edge

On my website, fast scrolling causes major stutter when a sticky header with backdrop-filter overlaps a long list of lazy-loaded images.

I recently ported from chrome to firefox about 3 days ago and was tryin to access the dropdown menus on this website https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/governments/government-id/bc-services-card/your-card/get-a-card

I realized it wasn't working so I turned off my adblocker (ublock origin), refreshed the site and still not working.

Also attempted to use troubleshoot mode and still does not work.

Cleared cache + cookies and used troubleshoot mode and nothing working still.

I lastly checked the website was working by opening the same link on chrome after all that and it works perfectly fine over there. Any ideas what could possibly be the issue?? I basically have a fresh install of firefox with no changed settings besides anything that might of been copied over from Chrome when firefox automatically asks you to migrate your stuff over, and used the troubleshoot mode + clearing cookies and cache

While I am able to log into my Google account in Chrome, I am unable to do so in Firefox after the latest update. Whenever I try, I am redirected to the attached support page, which asks me to delete cookies and cache contents. Deleting those does not help.

Please help!

This has worked for me for years. It just began a few days ago when I tried to login and look at my new auto insurance policy. I've cleared the cache/cookies to no avail. I can access the web site with Edge (yuk)

I can't log into my doctor. Their web support says to not use Firefox.

I've been with Firefox for years. I don't want to change browsers.

Can you fix the communication problem between Firefox and MyChart?

Thanks for everything,

Hello Our town had two unexpected electrical outages during severe thunderstorms a few days ago. When I reopened Firefox and tried to log on to my outlook account, I received the following message: UTC Date: 2026-01-10T07:45:12.961Z Client Id: 6ACCBE246D464180895379C1XXXXXXXXX Session Id: d6e32139-5adc-4e94-b1e6-ff2b299c8f50 Client Version: 20251212003.10 BootResult: 2152857611 Back Filled Errors: None err: NS_ERROR_FILE_CORRUPTED: esrc: Preboot et: ClientError estack: getItem@https://res.public.onecdn.static.microsoft/owamail/hashed-v1/scripts/owa.94868.m.b71f002c.js:1:21149 i@https://res.public.onecdn.static.microsoft/owamail/hashed-v1/scripts/owa.94868.m.b71f002c.js:7:141360 importExistingCache@https://res.public.onecdn.static.microsoft/owamail/hashed-v1/scripts/owa.94868.m.b71f002c.js:1:23004 946909/i/<@https://res.public.onecdn.static.microsoft/owamail/hashed-v1/scripts/owa.94868.m.b71f002c.js:7:151863 initialize@https://res.public.onecdn.static.microsoft/owamail/hashed-v1/scripts/owa.94868.m.b71f002c.js:1:21016

I can open my email logins in Chrome and Safari, but not in Firefox. In Firefox I can open all my previous Bookmarks, but not Outlook. Any advice gratefully received, thank you

I think this might be more of a Google issue, but it happens when using Firefox so I'll post it here. As of Jun 25, 2025, I have noticed dark black boxes appearing around my Google search results. I normally use a dark theme in Google, but the color is a muted grey/black. Today, however, dark black boxes have begun appearing around my search result. I really dislike the appearance as it is quite jarring. Interestingly enough, this issue only happens when signed into a Google account. Some Reddit users have reported having the same issue even in other browsers when using Google search. It seems to be something that Google has done on thier end but I was wondering if there was a potential workaround in the meantime.

For my Canvas courses, where there should be embedded videos, nothing shows up. However, the videos do appear on both chrome and microsoft edge. I have tried disabling UBlock origin on Canvas and it makes no difference. Attached are screenshots of what I see in Firefox (no video) vs Edge (video).

Hello,

Not sure if posted under the right section.

Recently started having an issue trying to sign in to Microsoft Outlook (formally Hotmail) Web. I don't recall any changes i made or updates.

When i try to sign in, it opens a new tab and takes me back to the sign in page. This just continues.

Tried using MS Edge and don't have the issue.

So far tried Safe Mode which disabled add-ons, which are currently Add Block plus, and New Tab Override and the issue remains. Not sure if i tried the refresh option but i think it removes the extensions which is not the end of the world.

Added a few images, one shows duplicate tabs, which will continue

Firefox version 140.0.4 (64-bit)

Any ideas whats going

Thanks
