Yesterday I was playing videos on rumble fine. Sat my laptop down, picked it back up after waking up and suddenly no sound on any rumble.com video. Youtube plays video and audio fine. So does X and truth social. In fact, any website plays audio EXCEPT rumble.com. Its not Windows related. Its firefox related. I installed Chrome and rumble.com plays with sound fine. I uninstalled firefox and reinstalled and that didnt fix it. I have rumble installed via WebCatalog an it plays videos and audio fine. I then installed Firefox nightly and never signed in or anything and still rumble isnt playing sound. Its rumble+firefox=no sound. And it appears to be happening to others too on other help forums. DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO FIX THIS?

Hello,

the Startup of our Firefox is slow on some Machines. With Developer-Tools enabled we don´t see any activity in the Network Tab until the Page starts to Load after 35 - 120 seconds.

What we did to determine the Problem so far:

  • disabled Anti-Vir
  • Disabled VPN-Client and tried connection via LTE-Hotspot to bypass company Network and Firewall
  • Changed DNS to 8.8.8.8 and 9.9.9.9
  • Deleted Cache
  • Changed Startup-Page
  • Disabled Secure DNS in Firefox Settings
  • Disabled all GPOs on Workstation and deleted policies.json so no Policies got applyed
  • deleted Startup-Cache and enabled secure-start in about:support
  • reinstalled Firefox
  • changed from up to date ESR to latest Release
  • Users Temp and Windwos-Temp deleted

No Problems on another similar Workstation with same Firefox Release.

I wonder if there is any startup-debugging capability.

Dear FF/Mozilla:

I've experienced a number of issues where I'm unable to do banking transactions using the FF browser. In one case, Wells Fargo bill pay does not work (but works fine with MS Edge); in another case, an international money link payment to a vendor in the UK would not go through using Firefox (but did first time with MS Edge). In yet another case, Firefox won't load webpage photos for items for sale on the site www.telescope.com - the page loads with descriptions but photos would not load (I just tried it and, nada). This remains the case even after my VPN is disconnected.

I've used FF for several years now without too much trouble but with this ongoing non-functionality of FF, I'm tempted to migrate to MS Edge or a browser that is supported more widely.

Any help or advice? Thanks, Blaine

The "page info" window showed up when I used ctrl+i to italicize something in a blog post. This has never happened before.

I assume I did something to "enable" it, because right before that I had been typing looking at the screen and not the keys and felt/saw my hands going wonky, but I'm not sure what on earth I did! I asked a friend about it and they said it just seemed like an issue of the browser and website commands fighting, but they weren't sure what to do about it.

Thanks for any insight!

I have a very annoying issue.

I am on the Firefox ESR version which is deployed via Intune. I am on the latest 115.9.0 and on Windows 11 22H2

After a certain period of time (never took note of it sadly) tabs start crashing and keep crashing. The only way to fix this issue is to terminate firefox via task manager and relaunch.

What is the best way to start investigating this and try to understand what is causing the tab crashes.

Hello, i need help. If I create shortcut, and start firefox in another profile, like this:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -class FF2 --profile "C:\Users\mire\Desktop\TEST\Apps\Instagram" --no-remote instagram.com

And if i set in "user.js" --> user_pref("taskbar.grouping.useprofile", true);.

For some reason after firefox starts, or after second start, firefox icon on the taskbar turns into a private browsing icon!

I tried everything to prevent this, I tried to add:

user_pref("browser.privateWindowSeparation.enabled", false); user_pref("browser.privacySegmentation.windowSeparation.enabled", false);

Nothing works...

I checked million times that im not in private browsing, and i'm not.

Then, after some tests I found that if I remove the flag: "user_pref("taskbar.grouping.useprofile", true);" from 'user.js' and 'prefs.js', and start profile again, taskbar icon becomes normal firefox icon.

Is this a bug?

And what should i do if i want to have separate grouping for the PROFILE2, and i don't want to have that private browsing icon?

You can see in the picture what was happening...

Hello,

I recently moved from Chromium based browsers to Firefox and, as my title indicates, I've been facing issues with youtube playlists on two different computers so far, may it be in normal windows or in private ones (where the only addon left running would be ublock origin).

The autoplay does not work in a predictable way. While the browser does reach the next video in the playlist once the previous one ended, more often that not, the video won't play. As I said, the behavior is unpredictable. There are times when it'll work right of the bat, but stop working after a few videos, and there are times when it won't be working at all from the very beginning.

I did enable FF's autoplay setting (or so it would seem from what I can see), for it says:"Autoplay: Allow audio and video" when I click on the icon next to URL bar.

I have not yet tested with my addblocker disabled, for ublock origin being fairly widely used I assumed I would have ran into far more issues akin to mine when I googled my issue.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Cordially,

On Ebay, I can manually change the language and location, but if I close Firefox, the problem returns. I'm using the version of FF that keeps no cookies or history. Thanks
