Today I've noticed some horizontal lines on youtube videos. Upon further investigation, I've traced it to a single div element:

The base64 encoded image is the lines I'm seeing.

Initially after starting a new private session and navigating straight to youtube.com I had no lines. Then in that private session same element doesn't have an image:

What's odd about this is if I opened a private window and copy pasted the same video URL I would get the lines. After testing multiple times I started getting the lines even after navigating straight to youtube.com.

So I did another test: changed my IP with a VPN in a private session. Navigated straight to youtube.com, watched multiple videos without any lines. Then I logged in to my account and boom, the lines are back...

Opening the same video on google chrome browser I get a smooth gradient line image:

The browser is functioning as intended, but youtube is intentionally making their website unusable. What the f###? I have youtube premium, adblocker disabled on their website.

Firefox has disabled the government website in South Africa on this laptop. The address is gov.za. I need this disablement to be undone urgently because I am not able to log in to the SA revenue services website to comply with my tax obligations. The disablement may have very terrible consequences for me. Please enable it forthwith. If I am not able to log into gov.za any longer then I cannot stay with Firefox.

Video frame will not scale to window size since version 134

I am having an issue where the video frame on kodekloud.com (a learning platform) does not scale properly in a Firefox browser and displays it in full frame instead of sizing it up according to windows size. I have traced the issue to be present since the release of Firefox 134. I am presenting screenshots from both version 133 (where the behaviour was as expected) and 135 (the current one, where it is broken).

The problem is reproducable in a private window without any add-ons and on multiple operating systems. It is however not present on any other browser (either Chromium based or Safari), so this a Firefox specific issue.

Can someone please let me know what might have changed between the versions that might have caused this rendering issue and whether there is somehow a way to mitigate it. Is this a known bug or a "feature"? I have contacted the support on KodeKloud and they are more than willing to help, unfortunately this might be a specific Firefox issue, that will need more in-depth knowledge.

Screen size: 32" Resolution: 2560x1440 OS: replicated on both macOS (Apple Silicon) and Linux Mint (Debian Edition) Firefox version: 135.0 on both systems

If any more info, like the details of the inspection of the frame are needed, please let me know.

Thank you!

Hello, I have an issue in Firefox browser. My operating system is the latest version of Kali Linux, and I am using Firefox ESR version 128.5.0esr Also, I don’t have any extensions installed on my browser, and the default theme is active.

Sometimes, an empty HTML file with a random name, such as LmFPlKJM.html, gets downloaded. This has happened to me twice so far. Both times, it happened while I was on a website that I had configured the server for. However, I didn’t do anything on the page; suddenly, I saw that the file was downloaded. I wanted to check the download link for these files, so I right-clicked and clicked "Copy Link" in the download tab, but the link showed as about:blank. Can you guide me on what this issue might be? Is it dangerous?

Hi, I want to move my FF profile(bookmarks, passwords, login in's, CC info, preferences, etc) from my old computer to my new computer. I did a quick google search and found all I have to do is it copy the Appdata/roaming/mozilla/profile directory to the new computer. I had closed FF on the old system before I copied it to a USB drive. On the new computer I installed FF. opened it, closed it, copied the file/directory to the new system. There were already to profile subdirectories present. I just added mine. Now FF crashes. I can't have both computers on at the same time so I do not think 'Sync' will work. What did I do wrong? Any help would be appreciated.
