Hello, when I am on Firefox I am unable to play audio from websites such as Reddit,Twitter and other sites but I am able to do so in youtube. This does not happen to me in other browsers such as brave/edge. Things I have tried are refreshing firefox, turning off extensions, installing windows media pack, trying a different sound device, adjusting sound mixer, allowing autoplay, update drivers. This started happening after I did a clean install of windows. Any help would be appreciated.

Hardware acceleration dropping frames on videos with small viewport resolutions

Hi!

I've noticed dropped frames in videos for a while now, but only recently tested the issue. Using youtubes stats for nerds, I found that when videos have a small viewport resolution, it starts to drop frames. (I would test with other sites but only know of youtubes stats for nerds system to detect issues like this) For example a viewport resolution of 1250x703 does not drop frames, however by unmaximising the screen and the viewport resolution drops to 681x383, it begins dropping frames.

Using my 2nd monitor which has a smaller actual resolution, the video drops frames unless fullscreened, see recordings below. Test A | Firefox Maximised but video not fullscreen Test B | Firefox Maximised and video fullscreen This issue also occurs with picture-in-picture mode.

Disabling hardware acceleration fixes this issue but for some reason only affects firefox, using MS Edge with "graphics acceleration" enabled does not result in this issue. Is this potentially an issue specifically with how firefox handles hardware acceleration? Also since I require hardware acceleration to be enabled for 3D model work in my browser, is there something I'm missing here that would allow me to keep hardware acceleration on but not have this issue?

Any help is much appreciated, thanks!

When I right click on a document [Show More Options/Send To] Thunderbird email I get the following notice: There is no email program associated to perform the requested action. Please install an email or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Programs panel. I've been using TB for multiple years with zero problems, this started when I recently reloaded Windows 11 from scratch (due to a bot virus issue). I have reloaded TB 3 or 4 times. I have also tried creating an association to MapiMail which hosed my Send To link. I had to import a new Send To link from my wifes PC after restoring the registry entry for MapiMail. I have always used the 64 bit version, so the 32 bit version is not for me. I am out of ideas? Anybody else have this problem?

Hello,

I use Thunderbird 128.5.2esr with xubuntu 24.04.

All of a sudden (I haven't changed anything) thunderbird hangs completely after a few minutes running. The process does not react at all, I have to kill it. Thunderbird process is then stuck on 100% load.

Already testet (with no success):

  • Troubleshooting Mode with deactivated Addons
  • Disabled Global Indexing (with deleting global-messages-db.sqlite file)
  • Waiting for 20min (in case thread/process is running a long time)
  • Reboot OS

I have no idea what the issue is. Does anyone have ideas? Thx, Hugo

I am one of those old-fashioned guys who has a title bar on the main window, and inside this (from top to bottom) a menu bar (File/Edit/View etc), then the current set of tabs, then the address bar.

I can click in the address bar and the caret appears, but the moment I start to type anything to edit the URL the address bar jumps up to to the top of the window, covering up the menus and tabs, with a menu of suggested URLs that at times covers most of the rest of the screen. Some images attached to show what I mean.

This started in a recent-ish release -- it didn't use to do this.

How can I prevent this behaviour, so I can just edit a URL in place the way I used to without the address bar jumping to the top of the window?

Currently using FF 135.0 (64-bit), Windows 11.

Local server won't load

I run a Synology DSM server on my local network. The website page to load locally inside my LAN is along the lines of 127.0.0.1:1001.

MacOSX 15.0.1 FireFox(FF) 132.0 (aarch64)

Previously accessing the DSM via the local IP address worked fine with no problems. Now, following one of the last couple of FF updates, I get an "unable to connect" message.

I also have a domain that routes to my local server and I can still access the DSM via the internet http address through FF. So I know that DSM is running fine and I have verified the settings within DSM.

I can load the DSM via the local IP in both Safari and Chrome. Only FF says it's unable to connect. So that shows that my DSM settings are fine and the page is available and loads in Safari and Chrome via the local IP.

I searched the forum and found similar postings, but not quite the same issue as mine. I deleted the cache & cookies/site data. I ensured the Proxy mode in FF is set to "No Proxy". I do not have any extensions running or themes.

I am at a complete loss at what setting in FF I need to change to restore this functionality.

Thanks, Matt

In the last few days, the common Cloudflare widget required to login to many web sites has abruptly stopped functioning in my browser. I'm trying to diagnose what's caused it. I'd appreciate any suggestions or advice.

I noticed the issue on nexusmods.com, but I've confirmed it's a universal problem on ANY site that uses Cloudflare protection. I've continued to use Nexus as my test case.

Observed behavior: 1) The Cloudflare widget loads 2) It displays a checkbox noted, "verify you are human." 3) I click the checkbox. 4) It immediately begins "thinking" (spinny circle and "verifying...") for about nine seconds. There is an "error" message that appears during this, but no details are offered (see screenshot) 5) The widget reloads. 6) Go to step 2

This is an infinite loop.

Fixes attempted: - Disabling all extensions (uBlock, NoScript, Privacy Badger, Decentraleyes) - Clearing cache - Updating to the most recent FF build - Accessing in a private window - Changing DNS settings from Cloudflare to NextDNS - Disabling DNS over HTTPS altogether - Disabling HTTPS-only mode

I'm on Thunderbird (128.6.0esr (64-bit)) on Fedora/GNOME. I've noticed, that whenever I launch Thunderbird, it takes several minutes (!) where it says "Connecting to mail.myserver.com" in status. I'm using my own postfix/dovecot server with imap and I don't have this problem on Thunderbird Windows for instance, where it connects right away on startup. After the initial slow connection, it works just fine, when I manually trigger to scan for new messages (instantly). I tried literally any option within Thunderbird to fix that, without any success. It seems to be some trouble with resolving / dns or probably ip6/ip4, but then again, why would it work normally after the long connection time in the beginning? Any clue what might be the problem here?

Hi

Long-term Thunderbird user and in the past couple of months Thunderbird on my PC on connecting to my mail server goes to a time out (about a minute?) before then downloading new messages. Connecting from my laptop is instant.

The PC - which is relatively new - performs well otherwise.

Checked settings on both and they are identical, save for the laptop.being 64-bit and the PC 32-bit versions.

Any ideas for me to try?

Many thanks

Hi All, I want to block traffic on firefox externally for managed devices via Intune, following the import of the ADMX/ADML files into intune.

Having read https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/managing-firefox-intune I have set '\Mozilla\Firefox\Exceptions to blocked websites' to the following; //*.mydomain.com/*

Which works, however, I also want to add hosts that are only resolving on IPs and not DNS. I can add specific IPs if known, but is there a way I can allow IP ranges? Ie

//10.10.*/* (this doesn't currently work) Of the included screenshot, only the wildcard for mydomain.com and the specific IP currently work

I've looked over the link that is recommened in the policy (indirectly) and can't see an option for allowing an IP range. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/Match_patterns

If there is a better way to do this via intune for firefox only, please let me know.

Thanks
