I like Firefox - it's been my default browser for a long time. But I am getting REALLY tired of websites not working with Firefox but working with Chrome (which I hate) and now DuckDuckGo. Specifically, federal government websites like Social Security, Id.Me, and I.R.S DONT WORK WITH FIREFOX!!! Also California DMV. Now I'm even having problems with commercial sites like Outdoorsy.com! I shouldn't have to switch but I'm getting real close to just abandoning Firefox. I will also add that the number of times I have to download a new version, then delete my session, let it load, and then use history to restore previous session is also VERY ANNOYING!!!

Hello. Since calendar category colorization is not very visible ...

... I created separate calendars for every category. This is semantically wrong but has a nice look – events are fully colored by category:

I now regret this choice and want to correct it:

I need to move >1000 calendar events from calendar "medical" to my "home" calendar and (at one go) assign the category "medical":

from [calendar: "medical" / category: none] --> to [calendar: "home" / category: "medical"]

How can I do this ?

(note: I don't know why the screenshots are not displayed in this message.)

Muy problem is ony desktop.. A few days ago I started having the problem that when I click on a link, a new tab opens but it does not load any content. The little dots on the tab go back and forth but nothing loads. My home page always opens and I can open articles on that page, but new links do not open. I restarted the computer and it seemed that the problem had corrected, and I was able to open a couple of links but then nothing more would open.

What the title says. Firefox just isn't playing any sound whatsoever.

Troubleshooting:

  • Volume mixer indicates that Firefox is using my speakers, along with all other apps. When playing a YouTube video, the green bar is not bouncing. However, all other programs that play sound do so successfully and their green bars are bouncing (see attachment).
  • Other web browsers play sound successfully.
  • Restarting Firefox and my computer did not help.
  • Switching the default sound device and changing back did not help.
  • Changing to headphones made no change.
  • Tabs are not muted.
  • Autoplay settings in about:preferences showed that audio and video were disabled, however changing this setting to allow video and audio, then restarting both Firefox and the computer did not fix the problem. I have no idea how that setting was even changed to begin with. O_o
  • Started Firefox in troubleshooting mode; still no sound.
  • Started Firefox in a different profile; still no sound.
  • Started Firefox in private mode; still no sound.
  • Tried ending the audiodg.exe process in task manager and restarted; still no sound.
  • Double checked media.autoplay.blocking_policy, was set to 0.
  • Double checked media.block-autoplay-until-in-foreground -- changed from true to false, restarted Firefox; still no sound.
  • Disabled hardware acceleration; still no sound.
  • Refreshed Firefox; still no sound.
  • Complete uninstall, including the usage of BCUninstaller to uninstall "leftovers". Reinstalled. Still no sound.

I have Apollo installed on my computer and I've reached out to them before for similar issues, but the dev was insistent that Apollo does not cause sound issues. I'm somewhat sceptical, but they're not being helpful at all so I thought I'd ask here, and disclose usage of Apollo so that all bases are covered.

Thank you for your time.

I have been an avid user of the Firefox browser on my PC for over a decade but a few days ago, when I tried to access a website on my Firefox browser, it would not connect me to the website. I have many tabs open in my browser and when I try to access any of the tabs, I get the same problem. There's a dot that moves endlessly back and forward in the tab while the screen remains blank. In the heading next to the website address it says "not secure", but it is saying this for all the websites that I was previously able to access and any new website that I enter. How can I fix this to access websites? I have tried restarting my computer but that has not fixed it.

I travel to two different locations a few times a year. I use the same basic "computer" for each one, though they're far apart. It works through a "sneaker network," where data files, profiles, etc, are copied to a portable hard drive and then copied to the next computer, so they're fairly identical.

The problem is that this last time (and I've been doing this for perhaps about 3 years), Firefox has refused to do anything online. I can use it offline, but not online. The "work online" is unchecked, so it should be online. But it refuses to do anything.

After several Firefox reboots, windows reboots, checking everything, Firefox still does nothing.

Currently I'm using Waterfox and Edge. Both work fine. Thunderbird works fine.

I've had this problem since Tuesday night. So about 48 hours now, and nothing at all.

The way I transfer from one computer to another without losing email or current Firefox status is to copy the newest profile over, delete the old, and then copy the current program, as well.

Thus, the program is up to date, as is the profile, but all I get when I type in any address is that dot thing at the top, going side to side.

Thank you in advance.
