When trying to open Sharepoint or OneDrive Sites I receive either an 401 Access denied or a: We are sorry, something went wrong.

The issue is actually described in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1373433 It seems that it broke again now. There are also other people having this problem: https://www.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/comments/11aot6r/firefox_10280esr_seems_to_have_broken/

If I either clear all cache, active logins and cookies or reload with STRG + F5 it will work temporarily. Setting dom.serviceWorkers.navigationPreload.enabled to False fixes it completely.

Some website can't display English content properly (shown as rubbish text as in figure provided), but if I copy those text and paste them else where (for example in a .txt file), they shown as English. I even disabled all of my plugins, but it still has the problem.

It won't have such a problem if I open the same web page via chromium-based browsers.

Just wondering what might be the cause?

Hi. Just a couple of days ago, Firefox lost the ability to load the website "ebay.com.au". The UK ebay website loads fine. As does the USA ebay website. I have tried running Firefox in troubleshooter mode disabling all extensions, no fix. I have been able to test this problem on one other Desktop PC, whom also is unable to load (ebay.com.au). Both PC's are 64-bit Windows 10 and have separate router and Internet connections. Both PC's are using the latest Desktop Firefox (111.0.1). I have tested disabling the software (BitDefender) Firewall on the PC, did not fix.

Hi, I would like a GLOBAL setting that will BLOCK/STOP all Autoplay period! Why does this not exist?

The below is a "Chosen Solution" that does not work. Can this be removed? as it is no longer relevent? I have just wasted my time trying it.

You can look at these prefs on the the about:config page to see what settings work for you to block autoplay.

   media.autoplay.default = 5 [0:allow;1:blockAudible;2:Prompt;5:blockAll]
   media.autoplay.blocking_policy = 2
   media.autoplay.allow-extension-background-pages = false
   media.autoplay.block-event.enabled = true 

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I accept the risk!" to continue.

Thank you for any help in this matter. I am most deffintly not the only person having this issue.

If I open up Hulu in Firefox it never loads the title cards or let me click on any videos in the website. I have turned my adblocker on and off and even uninstalled it at one point but I cannot get the issue to go away. Upon opening the browser console I found that the site has a source map error as shown in the attached image. Im not sure how to fix this as google hasnt been much help so far.

Since the latest update, Firefox won't display Google maps anymore. There was a message saying Windows blocked access to the graphics. Can't figure out where in Windows 10 to undo this. Help! Firefox useless to me without Google maps.

Hello,

this problem started happening around 3 or 4 days ago.

Usually, at the end of the day or before I close Firefox, I "delete browsing history" BUT only the "today" history. I know it's a weird habit (lol), but at least it logs me out of all recent browsing while keeping my sessions with older websites active (typically these older websites include stuff that I use frequently like Outlook, Google/Youtube, Twitter & other social media, Spotify, and a few other sites).

The other reason I do this is that I like my "recent history" to be ordered the way I like, so I can use it kind of like a "bookmark list".

The problem: Since about 4 days ago, each time I "delete history", ALL my accounts are signed out. Note that I don't have the option to delete cookies upon closing checked, and whenever I close Firefox without deleting history the sessions appear to be active.

I think 3 or 4 days ago there was a Firefox update? I remember at the time I was shown the extra tab with the release notes, but I didn't pay much attention. However when I noticed the issue, which was the day after, I assumed it was a new feature of the update that caused all these websites not to recognise my browser and thus ask me to log in again.

So just before going to bed, I tried 1) clearing my history for the day as I usually do, except 2) instead of closing directly after, I would go to the sites I want to remain logged in (in this case I just did Outlook, Youtube, Twitter, Facebook, Tiktok and Spotify), log into my accounts, and then close the browser.

So the following day, it worked "as usual"... almost... that is because when I deleted my history of the day, it logged me out of everything again. But in the "recent history" list, it showed the updated list (with the websites I re-logged into the day before).

So I can't guess what is happening, other that something is messing with my cookies each time I delete history. I even went to check manually to see if I still had the session cookies stored in Firefox and it appears to be the case.

Yesterday I also tried logging into a Google, waiting a few hours, and only deleting the history of the past hour, but the same thing happens, I instantly get logged out.

Additional info: when I "delete history" I only check the first five options (those under history) and not the lower two (under data).

Thanks for your help, and sorry for my English !

Lately I cannot explore Airbnb, I get "Network error (connection): NetworkError when attempting to fetch resource.". No problem with Edge. Should I forget about Firefox?

When viewing certain websites while "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of your selections above" is on (screenshot 1) most of the text is extremely pale to the point of being unreadable (screenshot 2). I've opened an issue (https://github.com/broadinstitute/gatk/issues/8115) for one of such websites in the past before realizing that it seems to be a Firefox problem. I realized that unchecking the option fixes the font color issue (screenshot 3). But in many cases it introduces a new problem where many of the buttons and interactive elements have this weird text rendered on top of them (screenshot 3). This happens for example in Google calendar. https://data.humancellatlas.org/explore/projects is another example.

So in the end neither of the options results in a readable web page.

Any tips on how to go about fixing it?

I'm having problems streaming live video on srf.ch (Swiss public television). The whole tab becomes unusable after streaming for a few minutes. Playback just stops and it's impossible to reload or navigate to a different address using the same tab.

This happens with a clean profile using two different computers with very different hardware. I'm able to reproduce it using Firefox 111 and 112, but not with Firefox 110. It doesn't happen in Chrome.

Unfortunately, I couldn't report it as a web compatibility bug. The person reviewing the issue wasn't able to access the streams due to geoblocking (VPN doesn't help). They asked me to provide additional information such as console logs. But even the console stops working when the problem occurs and there are no error messages before that.

Is there anything else I could try to help diagnosing this issue or is it a lost case?

Just upgraded to Firefox 111.0. Now my Yahoo! Mail will not load. Worked fine before.

Error: The page isn’t redirecting properly

An error occurred during a connection to mail.yahoo.com.

   This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies.

I changed nothing with the cookies...unless Firefox update did.

Dear sirs,

I have been a loyal longtime firefox/mozilla user going back to netscape in the 1980s. I am contemplating changing my default browser to safari and stopping using firefox.  I am a research scientist and infectious disease specialist.  My publications can easily be found by googling/searching "Stephen Beres".  I am having a difficulty that when I connect to the National Center for Biological Information (NCBI) Microbial Genomes Database (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genome/browse#!/prokaryotes/) to search genetic/genomic information for microbial pathogens relevant to my research, the page in firefox no longer displays properly  allowing me to conduct searches of the database.  This is not a problem if I switch to safari and plug in the exact same URL.  I cannot be loyal to firefox if it does not work.

I just upgraded to Ubuntu 22.04 and along with that I upgraded Firefox. It's no longer possible to scroll the comment section of articles, just the main page. I've seen this on both the National Review and the NY Times. The scroll bar is also not persistent, it only shows up when the mouse is over it. Is there a way to fix this or is this a bug in Firefox 100.0?

Hi all. I am having a strange issue with Discord. I can get notification sounds and all other media plays fine there. But whenever I try to "speak comment" or set the settings to always speak comments, nothing happens. The tab shows "playing", but no audio comes out, and nothing shows coming through on the mixer.

Chrome does speak as expected. A different computer, same version of Firefox also does speak as expected (in a different voice though). So that narrows it down to something in this particular copy of Firefox that is causing the problem. Plugins, settings and extensions on the two computers look the same. Also tried a different audio interface. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know!

Specs: Windows 10, Firefox 91.0 32 bit (both computers)

I've tried going in safe mode, turning of my Facebook container. Deleting cache. Signing out of Facebook. Also adjusting the backspace key in my Config. Having no problems on my Android phone or when using Opera. It's on on Firefox and on Facebook. FACEBOOK screen suddenly moves to the bottom of the screen when I am typing a comment. Whenever I hit SHIFT+alpha_letter at the beginning of a line OR simply hit the backspace key, the screen suddenly shifts to the very bottom of the page again even if I have tried to scroll the page back up to the middle of the screen manually. This shifts the entry area where I'm typing down and sometimes off of the visible screen entirely. Just hitting the backspace to correct a typo causes the screen to scroll on its own. I have to scroll back down to the entry box and if I make another typo, it happens again.

I've downloaded your new version"100" a few times and have found the same problem as a few others. I've tried re-installing a few times, and even after completely un-installing older versions, including clearing cache data etc., but the same thing happens. Are there a few 'bugs' to fix in the new "100" version or is another browser sabotaging this version in some way? I didn't have problems with earlier versions.

In order to reproduce:

1. Browse to klarna.com 2. click on [login] and then [login for customers] 3. page will redirect to https://app.klarna.com/login?market=de&utm_campaign=header-login-link&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=klarna 4. (you should have an account, if not just create one and proceed with following step) 5. click on [sign in] 6. enter email assigned with your account 7. click on [Confirm and Continue] 8. (a verification code is sent to the email or phone assigned with your account) 9. enter verification code 10. page will redirect to https://app.klarna.com/ and will show a frame where to adjust settings about how klarna will collect data by tracking technologies. 11. click on any button to close that frame (accept all / required settings only,...) ---> Does not work :-(

Until the most recent update of Firefox, I was able to access atrribute data of a GIS map feature on the GIS Open Data, State of Michigan website:

https://gis-michigan.opendata.arcgis.com/datasets/2020-voting-precincts/explore?location=44.909859%2C-86.310800%2C6.97

Now, I can not click on any feature. I can do this, however, using Chrome. What is the issue, here?
