What causes Firefox to freeze when two video windows are opened, i.e. in a new tab, the video windows immediately start to freeze? I use Windows 11. Other browsers work fine, only Firefox freezes with two windows open.

I beg of you, please do not go forward with the AI focused policies. AI as it currently stands is a rapidly sinking ship that a LOT of consumers hate, and that group is coincidentally the group that most frequently uses Firefox. By pushing forward AI-first policies, you are alienating your userbase, destroying the privacy and usability that makes Firefox special, and you're upsetting millions of people that love this service. Please, for the love of god, DON'T GO FORWARD WITH AI. Stick to what makes Firefox special, and it will flourish as every other browser becomes more and more unusable.

When I play YouTube videos in Firefox, the video stutters and drops frames, even at 480p. Audio keeps playing normally. This does not happen in Chrome on the same computer. The issue started about a week ago. I’m using Firefox on Windows 11 on a laptop. Restarting Firefox did not fix it.

How do I remove the pop up blocker on Firefox for certain websites? I am doing an online course and each introduction for each chapter has a short video that pops up but as soon as that happens Firefox sends a "Critical error" message then the video stops so I thinks that's happening because pop up blocker is turned on and I just dont know how to turn pop up blocker off for specific websites only like this one I am using for my study course. How can I turn the pop up blocker just for this one website so that this doesn't keep happening?

Hallo, ich habe das problem das mein Firefox browser immer im Vollbild modus startet, das hat er vorher nie gemacht. ich kann es zwar über die F11 taste zurücksetzen aber das ist nicht gut, auch habe ich schon einträge in der about:config gemacht die das verhindern sollten was aber auch nichts gebracht hatt. Es wäre schön wenn man das problem beseitigen könnte.

Ichhabe auch schon alle pluging mal ausgeschaltet um es zu testen hat aber auch nichts gebracht. Vielelicht liegt es ja doch an Firefox selbst.

Es wäre schön wenn mir da jemand weiter helfen könnte.

Danke Olaf

SCENARIO: One or more tabs are currently open and the user wants to open a new one.

CURRENT BEHAVIOUR: It seems that a user can only open a new tab by long pressing on a random link found on an open tab/web page and choosing "Open link in private tab" from the pop up menu.

EXPECTED BEHAVIOUR: A user should be able to open a new tab from the expanded tab count pop up next to the address bar, perhaps above/below "Close other tabs". The tab count should be displayed even when there's only just one tab open; in this case the "Close other tabs" option should not be displayed.

This is feedback, not a question.

If you're typing into the combination search/address bar and the suggestion being presented is a whole URL, load the stupid page instead of searching for it.

Example: when activating a service like YouTube on a smart tv you have to type a URL like youtube.com/activate. As soon as you start typing it the search suggestions come up with that option. But if you're stupid enough to click it, thinking oh this will save me some time, you get tricked. It instead searches for the url and the top result is never the actual page you want. So then you have to start over and make sure you type the entire URL yourself, because God forbid the suggestions actually be helpful. So just make the browser recognize that I'm trying to type a URL into the bar that those of us over 35 remember being actually for friggin urls and stop making it search for everything.

Once again, when I updated Firefox, it changed a LOT of my settings, including displaying the toolbar and open tabs bar.

When this happened last - months ago - it seems Mozilla realized this had happened to a lot of users, and managed to restore us to all the information that had been "lost".

I hope you can do that again, and can find a way to not put at least ME, and I'd bet a lot of other users, through the OMG!!! What do I do NOW?! panic.

Happy Holidays.
