Everyone says my audio sounds distorted in google video chat. I had been using it for months without issue on Firefox, and then I got a new Apple computer and people started to tell me I had this issue. In order to isolate the issue I tried going on Teams Video chat and Zoom video chat and people said my audio sounded fine there. Then I opened Google Video Chat in Google Chrome and people said my audio sounded fine there too. Lately, it's only when I'm on Firefox trying to use Google Video Chat (aka Google Meet) to video chat and people say my audio sounds way too distorted to hear what I'm saying. I restarted my computer, I even checked for the latest browser, which is up to date, I can't figure out how to fix this. Sounds like a firefox issue. Any ideas?

I made the mistake of installing Norton Private Browser on my Win10 laptop, and it took over the browser extensions as the default program. I tried making Firefox the default browser again and Windows took me to the Settings menu. Firefox is no longer in the list of browsers. Is there a way to fix this situation? Thanks.

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

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,

Starting about a week ago, when I use Firefox 124.01 on my Windows 10 PC to visit Ebay, the pages show in Portuguese, and the country shows as Brazil. I'm in the USA. This problem does not occur when I use Chrome, Opera or Edge. Any idea about why this has happened and what I can do to fix it. 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

Since I upgraded from Kaspersky Internet Security to Kaspersky Plus, my Protected Browser version of Firefox has lost track of my current Protected bookmarks and stored passwords - but the bookmarks and passwords in the standard (i.e. not Protected Browser) Firefox remain the current set. Unfortunately this is a different set, so I no longer have access to the Protected passwords etc. Although Firefox has just updated to 124.0.1 the About display in Protected Browser insists "Firefox is being updated by another instance". Kaspersky have studied the GetSystemInfo report and cannot find anything amiss, so is Firefox causing the problem? e.g. where in Firefox did Kaspersky manage to find a three-years-out-of-date set of bookmarks and passwords?

Hello. I have a problem on an old laptop. The laptop cannot play videos with a resolution greater than 720 pixels. A situation often arises when you open a website and cannot watch a video there made by customers about a product. There is no option to select resolution on many sites, and browsers by default try to play videos at the maximum resolution, ignoring the capabilities of the laptop. The essence of the question is, is it possible to limit the video resolution for all sites in a browser or system?

Hello all. One of my 3 devices does not show up under the "connected devices" window. It's my Samsung A71 smartphone. It hasn't shown up for over 2 1/2 years. I have auto updates set up, I have sync set up, and I have checked settings. I don't know what else to check; I have been all over the place, checking. So, my question is this: how do I manually add it in? What happens after that, can I still sync it, but does that have to be manual, also? Much thanks.

I use Bomgar / Beyond Trust for remote support for my Linux system. The bomgar file that I download is a .desktop file. Ever since Firefox version 119, this file no longer downloads correctly. Instead of getting a .desktop file, I now get a .desktop.download file and the file will not run. This appears to be an issue with Firefox because the file downloads and runs correctly if I use Chrome. It also worked just fine in Firefox before version 119. Any help that you can provide would be greatly appreciated
