As per the title, I can play a YouTube LiveStream this was the one I was viewing today PostOffice Inquiry https://www.youtube.com/@postofficehorizonitinquiry947 and SkyNews which play fine for about 20 seconds then fail with an error message that "Something went wrong, please try again latter". Refreshing the YouTube page the Livestream then plays another 20 seconds of the livestream then fails again with the same error message.

Other non LiveStream YouTube videos play fine

I have disabled all extensions, tried firefox troubleshooting mode, tried opening in a private window, tried logged in and out of YouTube account. The same thing happens (stream plays then ends after 20 seconds).

The same YouTube Livestram URLs work fine in Chrome Browser

system: Linux 24.10 Beta Firefox Snap version 130..0.1

Do I need to uninstall and reinstall Firefox?

Hi,

Firefox keeps crashing directly at start within seconds. I deleted Firefox and then reinstalled it again with no difference. I took away all my extensions, plugins and so forth. Firefox is updated to the latest version. Reloaded pages and I have minimal programs running in the background. I did malware and virus scans. I still cannot seem to find what the culprit is.

Thanks in advance Louie J

I just updated to version 131.0 and now my menu buttons in the top left no longer work. When I say Menu buttons I'm referring to the Menu Bar which includes File,Edit,View,History,Bookmarks,Tools,Help. All the buttons are dead and if I hover my cursor over "File" it says "List all tabs". If you look real close at attached screen shot you can see that there is a little square sitting over the word "File".

Thank you

Recently I installed firefox again after install new windows. But I lost my old sync details. How can I get my old sync details. I would like to get backup before 2 days ago. I want my old backup.

Hello, I am new using Firefox on my desktop and can't figure out why I am having trouble getting my Realteck mic to work while in online meetings. The video function is fine. I can't change the settings in the online meeting software and get a message to use "Settings" in the browser. What am I doing wrong. TIA

I'm still using Windows 10, and want to continue using it as long as I can. I just read that Microsoft is going to force all users to use Edge when Windows 11 becomes mandatory next year. This means that all access to Firefox will be cut off. Is Firefox preparing for this? Will there be some way for us to NOT be forced to use Edge (which I do NOT like at all)-- i.e., will there be some way to work around it? Please figure out some way for us to not have to use Edge. This is a horrible, Big Brother-esque situation. Thank you.

Hello,

I am using Firefox with Linux. Any time I open YouTube, I need to log in with my gmail accout, requiring me to authentify my identity with my phome. I always use the same laptop. Is there a way to avoid this annoying thing so the laptop opens YouTube straightaway please? Seems like my Firefox account is not helping. The needing to continuosly log in recalls also for anything else (gmail, Netflix...). Using Chrome with Windows was better in that way.

Thanks in advance. Looking forward to hearing from you

I've installed the lastest version of Firefox in a macOS, Ventura, virtual machine from Anka (although other VMs also exhibit the problem). Firefox is unusable. It mostly just beach balls. If I type in a url, it never attempts to connect. I do not have this problem with other browsers. Is this a known issue?

Starting about a year ago (2023) I noticed when using google search, firefox would crash. Recently it's started crashing any time I try to load google maps. I'm using the updated desktop version (mac) and I don't know if this is a google or firefox issue but it's bad enough I'm about to get an entirely new browser.

I'm curious about the current state of Web Speech API. This is a W3C specification that was implemented in both Firefox and Chrome and includes Automatic Speech Recognition.

There is a demo page at https://mdn.github.io/dom-examples/web-speech-api/speech-color-changer/

To use this in Firefox, I have to change two settings in about:config to True: media.webspeech.recognition.enable media.webspeech.recognition.force_enable

There used to be a setting that could be used to set a specific endpoint for the actual STT processing, but that doesn't show up in my list of settings anymore. I guess I could add it, but have no idea if it would be respected by the browser or what the endpoint should look like. Anyway, whatever endpoint Firefox is currently using does not seem to be working anymore, so I just get an "Error occurred in recognition: network" error.

In Chrome it works, but most likely is sending my raw audio to Google Cloud STT to do the actual transcribing. I'd like to be able to control the endpoint so I can use a local service connected to VOSK or Whisper or some other locally hosted STT engine.

I'm thinking about implementing something using WebRTC, but if anyone is working along similar lines, I'd like to join that project rather than creating my own.

Is anyone working on this?

For some reason, command-n doesn't generate a new window in Firefox (131b) on Mac (Sequoia). I have to click on the icon in the Dock to generate a new window. Command-n WORKS when I have an existing window but fails when I have no windows open. Truly bizarre. I've looked on forums (fora) and various help pages etc but no joy. any help appreciated E

Every day Firefox crashes on me and trying to reopen it will just give me an error message. I am unable to use firefox again until I uninstall and reinstall it. I want Firefox to be my default browser but this has been an ongoing issue for a long time and it's pretty unacceptable. It was an issue on my old iMac and I just got a brand new iMac and thought this would solve the problem, but the problem persists. PLEASE fix this.

Reoccurance of an issue first reported in 2023 (2 threads, both archived (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1429143; https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1429298). I am using AdBlocker Ultimate, but Youtube was added to the white list. Any further suggestions, or do I need to remove the AdBlocker Ultimate extension?

Hey everyone,

I’ve been running into a strange issue whenever I try to visit https://greenleavesnursery.com/ using Firefox. The site either collapses, freezes up, or the layout just breaks. It works fine in other browsers (like Chrome and Edge), but Firefox just can’t seem to handle it.

Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

Cleared the cache and cookies. Disabled all add-ons and ran Firefox in safe mode. Made sure I’m using the latest version of Firefox. None of these steps fixed the issue, and since the site works perfectly fine in other browsers, I’m starting to wonder if this is a Firefox-specific problem or if the website’s coding isn’t fully compatible with Firefox.
