Today I've noticed some horizontal lines on youtube videos. Upon further investigation, I've traced it to a single div element:

The base64 encoded image is the lines I'm seeing.

Initially after starting a new private session and navigating straight to youtube.com I had no lines. Then in that private session same element doesn't have an image:

What's odd about this is if I opened a private window and copy pasted the same video URL I would get the lines. After testing multiple times I started getting the lines even after navigating straight to youtube.com.

So I did another test: changed my IP with a VPN in a private session. Navigated straight to youtube.com, watched multiple videos without any lines. Then I logged in to my account and boom, the lines are back...

Opening the same video on google chrome browser I get a smooth gradient line image:

The browser is functioning as intended, but youtube is intentionally making their website unusable. What the f###? I have youtube premium, adblocker disabled on their website.

Recently, I can't download content; esp. PDF's. I click on a PDF file link, and nothing happens. No error message, no acknowledgement all. I have cleared all data, set security to Standard without relief. I've set the PDF Action to "Always Ask" yet get no dialog box on clicking on a PDF link. Other browsers work just fine. Is it time to switch browsers?

Any help to fix this would be much appreciated

I have tried restarting both firefox and my computer, disabled all extensions and started firefox in safe mode. When I try to right click on a firefox window from the taskbar it just disappears.

I have my computer connected to my TV so often when I open it up some windows will be on my TV which is behind my desk so its a pain to move them back without this function.

Today, I suddenly noticed a "24" within a circle (or on a circle) on the Firefox taskbar icon. Does anyone know what that is? I don't ever remember seeing that before. I maintain hundreds of PCs and am seeing it on my own production system for the first time anywhere.

I've uploaded two images of it.

Thanks, Carl

Hi Guys,

FireFox keeps saving Torrent links to my Downloads folder even though I have set it to just open the links directly with my torrent client. This is super frustrating having to go into my downloads folder on a daily basis just to delete a laundry list of .torrent files. How do I get this crap to PERMANENTLY stop from downloading and just opening directly with my torrent client?

Mozilla (and this feature of Firefox forcibly downloading files to my drives after being specifically marked to be opened DIRECTLY), is just Mozilla and FireFox purposely & forcefully shortening the lifespan of my SSD's. By forcing these link files to be downloaded to my Downloads folder (filling it up with crap) which in turn is forcing me to constantly delete these (link files) is causing unnecessary extra wear on my SSD!! I live in South Africa where an SSD costs the same as 8 MONTHS worth of utilities (electricity and gas). So we tend not to look kindly on unnecessary wear and tear... especially if there is a function to minimize this but it simply doesn't work as it's supposed to.

Please give me a way to completely and permanently STOP FireFox from downloading these magnet links to my SSD or kindly recommend a better/different browser that doesn't do this.... just like the "old FireFox" didn't.

Thank you.

I need to reclaim space on my hard drive so I was looking for apps to remove. I noticed that I have two installs of FIrefox. One is listed as "Mozilla Firefox (x64 en-US) (261MB) (2/7/2026)"; in the description area (when you expand the app panel) it says "135.0"; the "Modify" button is grayed out - all I can do is click "uninstall". The other install is listed as "Mozilla Firefox 72.0.2 (x64 en-US) (188MB) (2/23/2024)"; in its description area is lists the version again "72.0.2"; the "Modify" button for it is also grayed out - I can only uninstall.

How do I tell, from the Firefox that I launch from my taskbar or start menu, which one I'm running and which install I can remove?

I'm on a Windows 10 Lenovo Flex 3 laptop.

When you launch the browser, the pictures on the shortcuts on the home page shift, the shortcut for the X network has disappeared completely, but the picture from it has remained on another shortcut. The problem appears when you launch the browser after a long time, it is treated by refreshing the page. The bug itself is not critical, but it causes inconvenience.
