When I open a web page with a video in it, the video generally starts to look like the attached screenshot. It usually happens within 30 seconds, and then it will occasionally clear up for 10 seconds, but otherwise, it's just a shifting swirl of green.

Does not happen in other browsers.

Video Player Footage Freezes When Tabbing Into a Game Window

In the last couple weeks i've encountered an issue where video footage, but not the audio or the video progress itself, will freeze if I tab out of Firefox and into a game window.

Here's a video showing the issue

Like shown in the video, It only seems to affect Firefox and not other browsers, and it only happens when I switch to a game window, not other tabs. It should also be noted that although the video only shows YouTube footage, this issue affects every player I've tested it on.

I've tried this both with and without extensions enabled, as well as just about every video player related config in the about:config page, and with both hardware acceleration on and off, still with no luck resolving the problem.

If anyone has had a similar issue and managed to fix it, help doing so for myself would be much appreciated.

Please is there somewhere I can make all the vertical scroll bars , that I can use with Chrome and other browsers, usable in Firefox? I know how to make the one on the edge of the tab on the RHS fatter, in the about:config using widget.non-native-theme.scrollbar.style = 4 , but not one that is inside a "box" on that page adjacent to the RHS. I can just see the line in that box, but if I approach it with a mouse it covered by the scroll bar on the edge of the tab.

I downloaded a PDF and used Firefox to view the file. I'm trying to find key words in the PDF and I always get phrase not found. As a test I inputted a word I found in the document but find in page stated phrase not found. What am I doing wrong? I remember that I have used that feature in the past and it worked.

A (supposed) Firefox update on my computer at 13:00 Tuesday 8th January AEST crashed and eliminated all my open tabs and all of my Bookmarks. The update was unusual - Firefox usually does it's updates when you start using it. This time I was using Firefox doing multiple things and boom, request for an update then collapse. Did anyone else have this problem? Does anyone know why such a catastrophic event might have happened.

I am unable to login to a website that lets me check for a doctor's appointment. The link was sent to my gmail account. I am using Firefox with Windows 11. I am receiving the same error message whether or not I try to access it via my computer or iPhone. I have deleted the browsing history and cannot find any add-on that prevents this. I have Surfshark VPN installed on all of my devices.

For a while now, several months anyway, many of the sites I visit work in Chrome but no longer in Firefox. The sign in or login buttons do nothing, petition submit buttons do not work, etc. I can enter information in the required fields, but I the send/submit buttons do not work.

My test page is the log in for a course I have purchased. Here's what I have tried so far:

    Turned off enhanced protection 
    Paused AdBlock
    Ddisabled Privacy Badger
    Whitelisted the site on minerBlock.

Still no joy.

Anyone have any ideas? Thanks, --elizabeth

I can't get firefox app to open, I even have to open as administrator and then a window pops up but says it couldn't send the report. I have uninstalled firefox a dozen times and still have the same problem. When I could get on it every time I click on another tab it says tab crashed and to click on restore but it doesn't restore it. I downloaded that damn microsoft one drive and have had problems ever since I did it. I also deleted one drive but still have the problem. I hope you can help since I have so much stuff saved on firefox book marks. I have tried using the trouble shooting but it doesn't work either.

I received the following error message when trying to connect with a site which I have been using for several years. The advice below the error message directs me to contact the site owner, but I can't do so if Firefox will not let me access the site. What to do?
