Hello,

Can not play YouTube videos anymore in current version from Firefox. Before this update (again not needed and messy one) they worked. The videos shown at home screen or recommendations on the YouTube website. Same for my subscriptions, current videos as videos I played earlier somewhere. The YouTube website shows their picture and then the "no content available" message. Refreshing that page and try sometime later, both do not solve this. Unknown why this is happen. It seems another "new" bug inside Firefox.

My gmail mail account does not pull up on firefox ,works on Microsoft Chrome Brave . 3 days and counting . This the 2nd time I lost the ability to have something work. The last thing last week was my Metamask Wallet was not loading I had to reinstall it.Thanks Stephen Machlica

Hi there, why some sites are not recognising that I have installed the wallets on the sites on firefox, when it works on other browsers ? is there any settting I need to adjust or something ??? I just installed a couple fo aptos wallets, pontem and nightly wallts. thanks

'Linked In' technical support are telling me that I am unable to see certain pages on their system most likely because my Firefox Browser (which is fully up to date) is using DNS. They said to remove DNS. Is this wise advice and if so how do I do that and what difference will it make to my day to day use of firefox?

My Firefox on windows 10 crashes tabs OFTEN. Mostly is seems to be Facebook and YouTube tabs, but other tabs will crash and this morning, the Firefox start page tab crashed. I've done "refreshes", I've uninstalled and deleted the folder and re-installed, I've checked the SSD for errors. Nothing appears in the event viewer. Is there some way to definitively figure what is causing this?

My laptop (a Lenovo Ideapad220s) did an automatic Windows 11 update (I believe it was the 2H24 update). After that Firefox (version 133, 64 bit) would only open with the message "Gah. Your tab just crashed". Nothing I tried has worked, not any of the remedies found in support pages. I somehow did a Firefox software update and it shows as a separate icon and has not migrated any of the passwords and bookmarks I had in the software version that keeps crashing (my default browser). Trying to get access to the encrypted passwords to the many sites I've got with Firefox I opened the browser in troubleshooting mode. In this mode I have access to all the passwords saved over time, and the browser seems to work fine.

Any suggestions on what I need to fix or if this is related to the Windows update? I'd like not to have to go through the two-step process to use the browser.

Thanks!

I am trying to fix Firefox performance issues. I recently changed to Firefox to escape forced ads on chrome and the lost support for the Ublock origin. But I am having difficulty performing tasks and pages That I used to be able to do on Chrome with no difficulty.

When I open multiple tabs at once the tabs freeze up when trying to load and already opened tabs freeze and anything streaming also freeze. It takes tons of time to load multiple tabs and even sometimes single tabs depending on the website. This never happened with Chrome and I understand Firefox is not as refined as Chrome and is far younger than Chrome is but I feel like it shouldn't be this bad. Is there any settings maybe or maybe settings/preferences in the config area area that might help with faster performance and increased multitasking ability in the Firefox browser?

I have tried

1. Updating Firefox - I am running the most up to date version 2. Updating Graphics Drivers- I am running the most up to date drivers(Updated yesterday 11/17/2024 3. Deleting Cache/History/Logs 4. removed or disables unneeded extensions that I don't use every day and only activate when I need them.

None of this has worked to increase performance.

P.S. I would also like to fix the problem where firefox is using too much RAM if possible.

Can anyone help me Please? And if possible please give as many solutions as you can find or know so I can implement them quickly.

I have been having so many problems with Mozilla ( Firefox ) this year mostly due to freezing and the browser hanging. I have tried different fixes including refreshing and removing ad blockers but the problems come back and seems to persist with some sites being worse than others: I really like the layout of Mozilla but I have started using Chrome and Edge and I DO NOT have these issues with those browsers, actually Chrome is super fast and responsive. My question is what is going on with this browser that suddenly it becomes inoperable. If this situation does not change i will have to relegate Mozilla to little or no use except for the VPN version which so far seems fine. Help !

When playing videos in various websites (Jellyfin, Mastodon, Youtube) hypridle is receiving many 'ScreenSaver inhibit' messages that are never cleared.

A similar topic pointed to dom.screenwakelock.enabled being the culprit and disabling that fixed that users issue. But I've done that and the problem persists (It did remove one extra lock, but that was the one that was getting cleared.

Chromium sets and clears 1 lock correctly.

System: NixOS unstable DE: Hyprland

I'm using `exec-once = hypridle >> ~/log.txxt` to monitor the logs.

This behaviour is new in the last few months.

It is only present on one of my two systems that is very similar, they both use the same nixos config. The one with the issue is a i5-4590S based system with no external GPU, the one that doesn't have the issue is a Ryzen 7 5800X3D with RX5500. But that may be a red herring, I don't always update the both at the same time, so they may have different software versions.

Hello:

I have a new MacBook Air with the M3 chip. I cannot login to my Costco account on this Mac. I can log in using my old MacBook and my iPhone. I am using the same settings as the ones on my old Mac. What seems to be the problem? Is it the new chip?

Regards,

I have tried multiple media players and I have the same issue with all of them

Whilst playing a downloaded video - as soon as I open a new window to perform a search - the video stutters and the playback is slurred for a couple up to several seconds

Started on VLC so I tried PotPlayer instead same issue

Thanks in advance

I've been having an issue with picture-in-picture (PiP) mode where the subtitles and rewind/fast-forward buttons (rr/ff) won't follow the video into the small player for Disney+ specifically. I have no issues with YouTube or any other site. The subtitles and rr/ff just stay with the original video player on the site while the video is in PiP mode. I can see the subtitle button on the PiP player, but it is grayed out and I can't click it. I've updated both Firefox and my computer (Windows 11) and reinstalled Firefox, cleared cookies and cache, and still no dice. Any advice? Thanks!

(In the screenshot, the PiP player isn't showing video, but I think that's just because of Disney's anti-piracy software - I can see the video in the PiP player on my screen.)
