Hello team, hope you're doing well. I purchased a new laptop recently(HP Omen 16 with RTX 3070Ti). I installed Kali OS via VMware, which runs on my host machine(Windows 11).

Everything seems to be working fine in Kali, except when I try to play any video via Firefox Browser, it lags a lot and is very choppy. At first, I thought it was the issue with Kali hence, I reinstalled Kali and tried again. The issue still persists. I then did a clean Windows 11 install and tried everything again right after Win11 was set up, but I still couldn't find a solution. Tried all the methods which I could find online, but still, nothing worked.

I tried again, but this time with Windows 10 Pro on VMware. The issue was resolved and everything worked perfectly fine when videos were played on Microsoft Edge.

I've installed the Firefox browser on my host machine, and everything runs smoothly on my host machine(Windows 11), but the issue occurs only when videos are being played in the Firefox browser via Kali on Vmware/VirtualBox. I had asked many known people, but none of them have ever faced this issue with Firefox to date. Neither did I with my previous laptops. This is the first time something like this has occurred.

Issue: Any Video, from any site, when being played in Firefox Browser via Kali OS in Vmware/VirtualBox lags a lot and it is super slow(even when the video speed is set to normal). The audio that comes out from each video is like a robotic voice and it is super slow and laggy.

Kindly help and I really hope that we can resolve this issue!!!

I use the closed captions (CC) in YouTube videos with FireFox. Lately I have been seeing videos that seem to misbehave. At the very start of the video, ALL the captions display at once, one after the other. Then, as play continues there are no more captions. Most videos still show captions normally, that is, captions appearing only when the dialog matches them. But a few videos misbehave by showing all the captions at once. Here is one such video.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgqJ5wQF944

I noticed this misbehavior within the last month and assumed that the video was doing something peculiar with the timing of the captions. But when I use the YouTube Show Transcript option to display the captions and associated timing outside the video, the transcript looks quite reasonable.

One further oddity, if I take that same URL and load the video in a different browser, for example, Chrome, the captions are displayed normally.

I've included a screen shot of the video in YouTube showing all the captions displaying at once.

I installed Firefox at work and set my personal email address as secondary to my business address. Well, I liked Firefox so much that I decided to use it at work and at home - and I removed my personal email from my business account. Unfortunately Firefox is still recognizing my personal email as the secondary address for my business account and I am completely incapable of making a new account. My bookmarks and saved passwords are all different between home and work. I NEED two individual accounts, just like how I was using my browsers with Chrome. t

I run Windows 11 on my Laptop. Every few days, Firefox slows down so much that it becomes essentially unusable. If I uninstall and then reinstall, it works fine for a few days, and then it repeats its slow performance. I like Firefox, but if this continues, I will have to switch browswers.

Please help.

Hello,

I use Firefox at work and at home on the family computer. To have the possibility to access business data at home, I created a login for my business browser settings. If I micc now from home with my Firfox business account log in and log out again opens the next time Firefox from home automatically the browser with the start tabs of the business. This also after restarting the PC. I want to avoid this at all costs. How can I make the browser accessible to my family again, so that the usual tabs are displayed at startup and we do not need an extra password for the family browser?

Kind Regards

Frank

From the last week Firefox started to give me the error "Secure Connection Failed" / SEC_ERROR_INADEQUATE_KEY_USAGE, preventing me to access some intranet sites. The first time I tried the "Refresh Firefox" procedure found at the beginning of the dis-installation function (started through the standard "Add or remove programs" Windows 11 interface). Now this error re-appears only for one of the internal sites from time to time. If I close all the browser windows and re-open Firefox, the error changes to "Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead" / MOZILLA_PKIX_ERROR_SELF_SIGNED_CERT (which is an error I'm expecting since the intranet site is using an intenal Certification Authority that I've not yet put among the trusted ones) and with this message I can now proceed to the site by selecting "Advanced..." and "Accept the Risk and Continue".

Which is the reason for SEC_ERROR_INADEQUATE_KEY_USAGE error? I cannot find a mention for it inside https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/what-does-your-connection-is-not-secure-mean ... Is there a way to debug it? Or to avoid re-occurring and the need to restart Firefox?

Firefox version is "113.0.2 (64-bit)" on Windows 11 (10.0.22621.1702).

Hello

Noticed in the last few days I cannot change the proxy settings. Use to be able to. I am on the latest version of Firefox as of today. Try to run Firefox as an administrator but still greyed out. Not sure what is causing this. This is on Windows 10 and a 11 device. Do not have any GPO for firefox. Any idea how to find out what is causing it or ho wto fix it?

When I log in, refresh, or just open up the website, I'm met with an error message attached below. I use a HP Pavillion Laptop, Windows 11, and am on version 113.0.2 (64-bit). I've tried the following: - Make sure spotify is up to date - Restart my router - Make sure 'Widewine Content Decryption Module provided by Google Inc.' is enabled. - Allow Firefox to play DRM controlled content - Disabled my plugins - Tested this on other browsers (they work) - Made sure I'm not using a VPN. Oddly enough, Spotify's web player seems to function alright in Private mode and the app is fine too. I will try any all solutions presented, please.

I just installed Firefox 2 days ago on a new computer and have no problems till today. I was watching a movie when suddenly all tabs crashed. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, checking for malware, making sure firefox was up to date, clearing cache data and history, disabling plugins running troubleshooting mode and restarting my PC. Please help I cannot use Firefox at all.

So a few months ago I was having issues with Firefox so I deleted it. But today I redownloaded it, and it was working fine, but all of my data is gone my passwords bookmarks my history is there anyway to get this back.

Hello - Firefox to Safari bookmark syncing used to work seemlessly between pc and ipad. Noticed it's no longer working. I've done all the resetting/restarting/logging out/uninstalling/reinstalling recommended. It still won't sync. I ended up installing Firefox on the iPad to get the bookmarks from PC. That sync works (takes a while sometimes). But it will not ever update the IOS from the last time it worked (maybe 3 months ago). I can erase IOS bookmarks and reload from iCloud, but the files are months old.

Has this function just been removed?

I have been with FF for years now but I started to notice a few months back that sometimes a web site I want to go to would not load with FF - a blank page would come up. Also, that some sites were very slow to load. I would go to EDGE and the sites pop right up with no problems.

Some examples - StartLogic, VERY slow to load on FF. United Health Care - I bring up the site, put my login info in and it brings up a blank page. I go to EDGE with both of these programs and no problems. There are other sites that I have the same problem with.

What's going on with FF? I would like to keep using it but I am finding more and more sites that act like this.

Video download helper is installed but icon is missing from toolbar and cannot be found where I'm told to look when I google the problem (i.e., view/toolbars/customize). Nor can I drag it to the toolbar from where I find it when I look under triple bar/addons and themes in the upper right corner of the toolbar. Where else should I look to find it?

When I open a pdf and close it to a certain page, after reopening, firefox brings me back to page 1 and not to the last page I read. To make it a perfect pdf reader, it would be great to implement the memory of the page in use.

When I try scrolling down on this website it automatically takes me to the top of the webpage like a reset. The hardware is fine because it is happening with touch pad and external mouse both. Even though it is happening only on 1-2 website, I am not sure whether it is my browser's issue or the website itself is faulty. Also, specific part of the URL keeps on refreshing nonstop : ?ref=n2dXHxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The YouTube videos load in troubleshoot mode, so I reopened Firefox and disabled all extensions. That did not help, so I uninstall all extensions. That does not work either. Other browsers work, but Firefox does not.

My issue is a bit difficult to explain. When I downloaded Firefox on a new computer, I signed in using my gmail account email and password. I created many passwords and bookmarks. I wanted to sync my phone and laptop to this account but I already had an account on my laptop. My new computer all of a sudden notified my that my log in was disconnected. I signed back in to my account and now it is only showing my bookmarks and passwords that were on my laptop and not my new computer. I only want the things I have added to my new computer and not what was on the laptop. How to I retrieve the bookmarks and passwords that I had set up prior to Firefox disconnecting me?
