On some sites, the video controls flash intermittently while playing. On one in particular - theguardian.com/uk - embedded video content will not play. The sound will, but the picture won't. I've done seemingly everything - disable hardware acceleration, messed about with tracking, blocking, permissions, extensions, plugins, reset that site, refreshed Firefox. Nothing works. I've been using Firefox happily for over a decade, but this is severely testing my faith and allegiance. I'm using a 2019 Mac, but Apple say it's not their problem. The protracted steps I had to take to even get to this page on this forum have seriously tested my patience. Please, Firefox - how can I fix this?

Thought problem was just on MyPoints when viewing videos but occurred yesterday at InBoxDollas while playing a game.
- 9/15 - Attached is one of the video screens with the website slowing...... In this group Postables - almost all had this come up. Sometimes just froze there & when I refreshed screen this ... website slowing.... came up & I had to StopIt for video to continue. {Often the screen would be Black as attached shows, sometimes black with an x in the middle so I refreshed}**
Last night I deleted History (except for personal.). Opened MyPoints this morning & went to Postables where half or more of the videos had this popup line stating Website slowing...... & I had to keep clicking on StopIt. I went to the video in image I added but the 2nd from there had this popup - slowing website.... So I guess deleting history helped some perhaps - but is still there. {Searched last night & all the ideas/thoughts listed to stop this went back to 2016. Before deleting History, I went to registry & searched for Firefox Pioneer and also Shockware - None were found.

I've researched and tried just about everything I can to get drop down menus to work on a certain site...turned off hardware acceleration, tried loading the site in safe mode without any add-ons or themes, disabled all content blocking for the site, deleted all cookies and cache, reinstalled flash, etc etc etc. Nothing works. I have verified that the site functions properly using other browsers so I'm at a dead end now. Any help would be appreciated.

No issues when using another browser to upload an image. After completing a sync with MS OneDrive, my Firefox's File Upload folders are all empty despite my MS OneDrive being up-to-date. Every folder stills how the "still syncing" symbol, yet they there is no syncing going on at all. Why the incompatibility? Not happy with FF. Needs attention for a fix.

I love Thunderbird version 2.0.0.24, before any of the UI changes happened. The only challenge, is the notorious error message "Thunderbird can't connect securely to <named_website> because the site uses a security protocol which isn't enabled". The only solution I have found for this, is to update to a later version (which does not have the clean UI). I have gone though all of them, and its not an option.
So, is there anyway to get an update to version 2.0.0.24 (retaining the clean UI), with this networking fix?
Thank you, Martin

Google Maps keeps showing information, that the Earth 3d view is not available. It worked for two days or so, just after the system reinstallation (Windows 10), but suddenly stopped. Firefox Quantum 69.0 64 bit, system Windows 10 installed a month ago (updated daily), GTX750 Ti, CPU i7-3770, 16 GB RAM. I've tried to clear cache, cookies and google for the solution, but nothing helped. Months ago, when Firefox showed "Earth 3d view is not available" (in the right bottom corner of the map) I could just click that link, and choose "Other versions..." and "Open Maps in 3d" but it doesn't work any more. Earth 3d map view works in Chrome. Please help!

Hi
I've been having problems with my Firefox app for a few weeks now, I'm hoping you could help me out.
It always worked perfectly fine, but recently for some reason it's not behaving correctly.
The major issue is the touchscreen. When I click on a particular line for example it selects a line from much higher up the page, totally unrelated to what I'm trying to select.
I don't know if this happened due to a recent update or not, I can't remember sorry. I've removed and reinstalled the app, no difference. I've also today just updated the app again, same problem still.
There are no other issues with my phone, its a Sony Experia Z5 Compact and it's in perfect working order. I had been using the app like that for more than a year, maybe even 2 years until this sudden problem.
Also, I have another phone, a Wileyfox Swift, and the Firefox app works perfectly fine on that unit.
Can you advise me of a solution to this please ?
Thanks for your time.

I was using FF 68.0.2 and all versions before it for years and I never had a problem. After I installed version 69 I began to have these black screens! Im using 69.0.1 now and it seems a bit better, with 69 I was having more crashes. Im using h264ify addon because youtube was too unstable in 69 version and using h264 codec seems more stable. I am not completely sure this is a Firefox problem or a Windows 10 problem because microsoft has release buggy patches recently. I uninstalled last microsoft patch just in case but I still have this creashes.
Sometimes Firefox return to normal if I minimize the windows and restore it but sometimes it crashes completely.

I recently changed versions of Linux Mint Cinnamon, from 17.3 32-bit, to 19.1 64-bit. I moved my .thunderbird directory from the hard drive my old installation was on, to the new one. My accounts and addons seem to be there, but some things aren't responding properly.
Things like the account settings screen, the right side of which stays gray and blank (though the cursor may change to a text-selection cursor, depending on where I hover in the empty gray), no matter what item I click in the left panel, which doesn't highlight. Though the account actions button seems to work, and I was able to add a mail account with some struggle, as the text input box for the account name would not respond until I held down a button on my keyboard until it repeated several times, then I could type in the address. The ok, cancel, and x buttons work, though.
Also the Thunderbird preferences screen is similarly uncooperative. Sometimes the top buttons work, but the rest of the dialogs don't work right, similar to the account settings. Like the account settings, the close button and the x do work.
Safe mode didn't fix the issue, the windows got similarly stuck.
Renaming my prefs.js file to prefs.js.bak wasn't much help, as none of my accounts were showing then. The settings dialogs did become responsive, at least, when I tried that.

I found many similar issues here and over the net, but none seem to work for my case.
I have this URL in my address bar suggestions, that is not in history. I used "Forget about this site" to remove it from history. I've also cleared my cached data from Privacy options (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-clear-firefox-cache)
I don't think killing "places.sqlite" will help, since it's not contained in `moz_places` table:
sqlite> SELECT * FROM moz_places WHERE url LIKE '%xkcd.org%';
sqlite>
So this website is actually a typo for xkcd.com web-comics.
I've tried https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/remove-websites-address-bar-suggestions. This does not work since the suggestion is not on first page. I have to type in 'x' to see this wrong suggestion. Shitf-Delete does not work, since it only deletes the autocompleted string from suggested URL.
I use Mozilla account to sync, so maybe that may cause it -- other profile connected to account?

Getting random short freezes while using TB 60.9.0, 32-bit Win 7Pro. The "wheel" spins and after a few seconds, TB recovers but seems to freeze again and again while reading/creating email that's been downloaded from gmail via POP3. Tried as many of the posted fixes as I could, but still... Not seeing similar freezes with FF 69.0, IE11 or other apps.

Firefox almost always crashes on closing. If I reopen firefox within a couple mins of closing it tells me it can't open because it is already running. If I leave it closed usually after several mins I get a notification that it has crashed. I've tried disabling all add ons/refresh/disabling sync etc. with no luck so just trying to see if anyone has any ideas on possible culprits. This is on multiple Win 10 machines, can post more crash reports later tonight. My other system it happens every single time I close it.

This is how Thunderbird presented itself this morning. (cf screenshot) I can't see any of my mails, no contacts available, no address books, ... I cannot write a message. But under "Get message" I see my accounts. I tried by deleting the *.msf files, but these were not rebuild. I tried reinstalling - no changes so far.
So actually I'm lost. Does anyone know how to bring Thunderbird back to life?
