Happening on all platforms that I checked, from Youtube to Kick and several others. Basically the video just keeps on trying to load forever but never does, same behavior on all sites. Chrome is loading videos fine, other devices with Firefox are also fine.

Been using Firefox on Android for years with no problems. Wondering if this is my problem and I need to troubleshoot or if others are having the same issue, in which case I can just wait for Mozilla to roll up some update fixing it. All I did up to now is disable add-ons but the problem persists. I'll do a fresh install if I really have to but I'll wait for a response here first to make sure. Cheers.

Video playback initially works, until suddenly it doesn't; no new videos will work, and videos that previously played in the same browsing session will stop working. Easy to reproduce on Reddit by browsing any video-heavy subreddit. Leaving a broken video in a tab seems to infect the rest of the browser across websites; if a broken video from site A is open in another tab, videos on site B won't play.

Sometimes quitting and restarting Firefox is enough to temporarily get video playback working again; sometimes I have to manually clear the browser cache; at least once I've had to reboot my phone.

I deleted from Thunderbird an old University account that had been deactivated, but Thunderbird still prompts for those credentials. I copied messages from that inbox to a local folder and then deleted the account. Then I deleted a calendar connection for that account, and finally the outgoing server for that account. I can't think of anything else, but it continues to prompt to enter credentials for that e-mail address. When I deleted the account there were two options. One was something like "delete everything" and the other was akin to "leave some stuff". I don't remember the details but I chose the latter figuring it might goof up the local folder copy otherwise.

The school must have used google, since the prompt is coming from googleapis.com.

Any ideas on how it still knows about that old account?

Thanks!

I am using Firefox 122.0.1, Windows 11 with all latest updates. Recently my HP Laptop has been slow to respond. I rebooted and opened task manager. I started Firefox and it was using about 1500 MB of memory. I closed some tabs to try to recover some memory. However, Firefox kept taking more, more and more. After 15 minutes, it was at 10,000 MB and climbing, and my system was using 99% of memory. I don't believe Firefox did this in the past and this is clearly not working properly. Any ideas?

Firefox crashes whenever I use ctrl v or right click, and pulls up a window that it crashed. Whenever I start it back up, it says it wasn't able to restore session, then restores it anyway after I press to restore it. Another thing is whenever I try and upload a file onto a site it crashes as well. I'm on Mac OS x 13 and reinstalling firefox hasn't fixed it. This is relatively sudden, it happened about around 3 days ago for the first time, and at the same time I noticed it happening certain sites also started giving me '502 Bad Gateway' errors. Does anyone know what's happening and how to fix it? Thanks in advance!

I understand the adaptive methodology (I've coded Naive Bayes algorithms) but since the move from a Windows 10 workstation to a Linux workstation (three months ago), I've been marking a LOT of spam emails. I'm wondering how much data the algorithm needs or if there's a setting I need to change. I'm also wondering if the feature works the same on Linux and whether I can migrate the fitted model that worked well from the W10 TB profile (?) to the Linux TB profile. Also, I'm wondering if there's any way to get insight in what state the model's in.

I'm sure I can find more info by digging around, but I was wondering if anyone had any comments or clues or was ever in a similar situation. If there's a problem with junk filtering on Linux, it makes TB a lot less useful.

Google search no longer works on Firefox. Other browsers have no problems. Changing the default search engine on Firefox works (eg Bing), BUT. It can now find Google Maps, but Google Maps cannot find a location, because it uses a Google search. I tried the fix in about:config, but it had no effect.

I appreciate the functionality of adding outgoing email addresses to an address book. It makes it easier to auto populate in the future when drafting emails.

I have completed the very simple steps to select the box to add outgoing email address to my "Collected Addresses" book.

However, I have noticed that the system will add the outgoing email address to BOTH my "Collected Addresses" and "Gmail Contacts".

While I want the email address as "Collected", I do not necessarily want as part of my "Gmail" contacts.

Is this a setting or a bug?

Thanks

Hello,

I am having problem with connecting imap inbox folder using Office 365 mail server with user who likes using TB.

After adding mailbox to TB it says: The current operation on 'Inbox' did not succeed. The mail server for account xx@abc.org responded: INBOX doesn't exist.

I can't even see the Inbox folder in the menu 'subscribe/folder list.

Recently we migrated to Exchange online and after importing old emails by outlook export/import this error showed up and inbox stopped syncing.

I believe it must be issue with folder name in O365 which I tried to reset to default but it didn't help.

I also tried this https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1276757

Any idea how to fix this?

Thank you in advance.

Hello, I've been using Thunderbird since it first came out may years ago and have been a satisfied user. Sometime in the past year, after one of the Thunderbird updates, Thunderbird became EXTERMELY slow to open. It takes over a minute. I have looked for solutions here for the past year...no luck (I've read through most all of them here, that have to do with slowness of Thunderbird opening, as well as on Reddit). I've tried basic troubleshooting e.g. clearing Thunderbird cache, increasing cache to huge size. I've seen references to the slowness being related to "multiple calendars". I don't use calendars on Thunnderbird and went as far as to delete/disable the default one that was there. Still no improvement. I know its a Thunderbird specific problem since:

a. I don't have this slowness opening any other program on my Mac (opening it or using it) b. I don't have a problem with performance of Thunderbird once it finally opens c. It all started in 2022 immediately after one of the Thunderbird updates.

I am on: Mac Air M1, Ventura 13.2, 16 GB Ram Thunderbird 102.14.0 (64-bit)

I hate to ditch Thunderbird after using it all these years and being a very early user since it came out, but I am at wits end. Any help is appreciated. Thanks for any help in advance!

I've recently installed "OneTab" extension and right after this my firefox stopped rendering (meaning it shows in the doc as if it is running, but there is no application that can be found on the screen)

I've read articles about problems with extensions so I deleted the whole firefox folder in the "username/library/application support" as I couldn't find anything connected to the onetab extension.

I've also reinstalled firefox both from brew and by downloading from the official site of mozilla. Of course, I've restarted the system a couple of times.

Help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

My system is macOS Sonoma 14.2.1
