On Firefox (68.0.2) for Mac (OS 10.14.6): for the past month or so, most (but not all) Youtube videos give "If playback doesn’t begin shortly try restarting your device" error.
Videos play with no problem in my other browsers.
I have tried restarting in Safe Mode and the problem persists. Autoplayback is on. I also tried unchecking "Use hardware acceleration" in preferences, which had no effect (so I turned it back on). Clearing the cache has no effect.
Anyone have any thoughts?

I was deleting folders under local folders; dozens of them, all empty. Don't know where they came from. Then, suddenly all the folders I actually use disappeared, leaving only inbox and trash. The e-mails remaining display as some sort of code:

Empty Trash Y/N Dialogue Box Missing After Thunderbird 60.8.0 Update

As it says above after the most recent Thunderbird update the Empty Trash Y/N dialogue box does not appear when I use that option. I've not changed any settings and the config editor shows the relevant entries which appear to control the function are still apparently correctly set so that it should always appear before emptying the trash.
I do have a screenshot of the two config editor entries but this site seems not to be able to upload it.
This is new behaviour but I've found another user reporting here the same thing from several years ago so it seems to be the return of an old problem. The 'resolution' suggested for that poster was pretty much indecipherable and it sounds like it never worked even if they actually understood it.
My guess is that this is a glitch which was fixed in a later update when the problem was reported. So that is what I'm doing here this time too.

I am running a new Galaxy S10 with the most up to date OS and Firefox. When I download anything, the download notification pulldown message pops up twice--the first one is correct and says completed when it's done, the second one never completes and I have to reboot my phone to get rid of it from the notification bar. When I download another item, the 'eternal' download transfers to the newest download, so I always have one download that it says is in progress, the last download I have done.

Hello,
I am trying to use a bulit-in QR code reader on of the websites (ticket reader), but it doesn't work. When I click on the icon for the QR code reader - nothing happens. QR code itself is a simple number, so scanning it with built-in Mozilla QR code reader brings nothing. This works in Safari and on Andriod browsers including Mozilla.
Tried to go to my iphone's settings and Mozilla's setting - found nothing.
Would be greatful for any help / information.
Thank you all in advance!

Hi all,
I would like to know, how I can prevent the uninstall of addons from the toolbar menu? Even if I decide to remove them from the toolbar with customize, I can still uninstall them after moving them back up to the toolbar with customize.
Is there some add on that password locks this from happening?
My reason for doing this is because I have lots of younger relatives who use my laptop sometimes to play games. I want to make sure they are safe on the internet and not messing around with key settings.
Thanks in advance!

After upgrading Windows to 1903, there was a problem with the file attachment. Button Attach - Files don't work, but Button - webpage is working. Help me, please
Напишу еще по-русски. После обновления винды до 1903, появилась ошибка в программе Thunderbird. Проблема наблюдается только на одном из компьютеров, на остальных работает все корректно. Проблема следующая: при нажатии на кнопку Вложить ничего не происходит, кнопка просто не работает и никакую ошибку не пишет, если нажать кнопку и веб-страница, то работает, а вот Вложить - файл не работает. Если просто брать перетаскивать файл в область вложения, то перетаскивается. Кто знает, что нужно сделать? Заранее спасибо за ответ

I have TB on a desktop running Windows 8 and also on a laptop running Windows 7. For no apparent reason the desktop TB stopped connecting to both the incoming and outgoing servers today. (It just hangs, then sends me a "failure to connect" error message, when I try to fetch or send mail.) TB on my laptop is working fine, so the problem clearly isn't with the mail host. Nor is it the account settings, which are the same on both computers. I tried restarting TB, then restarting the computer. No luck. Running TB in safe mode didn't help either. While I do use a security program, that's not the problem here. I say this because (a) I'm not receiving any notifications that it's blocking TB, (b) TB is on a list of trusted programs, and (c) I use the same security program, with the same settings, on my laptop, and TB is running fine there.
Any suggestions?

Hi, I package software for my college. I use Altiris (Symantec Management Agent) to deploy Firefox. I keep having a problem where Altiris will have the updated version of Firefox, and then a minor update to Firefox is released and it breaks Firefox. Like right now we have 68.0.1 packaged, and 68.0.2 just came out and Firefox automatically updates to that. Firefox won't work when Altiris installs 68.0.1 because of the detection check looking to see if Firefox 68.0.1 is installed, but it doesn't so it installs 68.0.1. Firefox then says that I'm using an old version and need to make a new profile and I lose my bookmarks, internet history, and logins. We would like to prevent this from happening.

Under options, I have Firefox set to restore my previous session when it reopens. Most of the time it does this just fine, but twice this summer it has lost all of my previous tabs. I read about, and found the recovery.jsonlz4 and recovery.baklz4 files, but they include only the tabs from the current session, not any of the former tabs. I often have dozens to hundreds of tabs open, and this is mightily annoying. Any ideas why this happens, how to prevent it in the future, and is there any hope of finding those lost tabs? I'm strongly considering ditching Firefox for another browser.

I often use Google's feature to limit my search to one website. Sometimes I Google for "something site: website.com" and it is okay. But when I Google "site: website.com something" Firefox search nothing (I assume it tries to treat `site:` as a protocol).
Is there any workaround to fix this?
