Firefox Support Forum

Maybe someone knows the answer to the following:

When I visit Dailymail.co.uk, it shows a video clip (there is a link in the video box to play the 'full video') but there is no audio:

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11174031/Meghan-Markles-Archetypes-knocked-No-1-spot-Spotifys-podcast-rankings.html (3/4 down the page-It is a Meghan Markle video).

I am using Firefox and I went to the Autoplay option and selected 'Block Audio And Video.'

1. Is the clip 'still playing' because it is not 'technically' a full video or am I missing a detail?

Answer:

2. On Facebook, the 'GIF Videos' play automatically until I click the video (in order to stop it)-Why is that?

What is up with 104.0.2 (64-bit)?! It broke Outlook email and today it broke Tumblr. Outlook online had this error message for a few days and the space below photos in Tumblr is usually white, now it's dark; can't read a thing! Both work fine in Chrome and Outlook is finally working again after a few days:

ErrorType: Component UTC Date: 2022-09-06T15:09:21.585Z Puid: 0003BFFD80C7CD78 Client Id: 36BD2265BBF94A368ACB6FD2CEF338F0 Session Id: b44c966a-8f33-4be3-a8e6-9e2f7e6118b6 Client Version: 20220826004.05 BE Server: CY4PR0701MB3666

Every few days, Firefox makes me log back in again to my account and "create" a new profile version - the message I get is that I have launched an older version, and can only EXIT or CREATE NEW PROFILE. The problem is when I have to do this, I lose all the pinned tabs I had open, also I have to log into Gmail each time and generally set the profile up again. I can then access my bookmarks and containers but not the tabs I had open.

Is there a way to stop Firefox from forcing me to relaunch my profile each time? Its frustrating to lose the pinned data and have to log back into my Firefox profile, then Gmail, then try to figure out where I was at last. Note, the pinned tabs are not things I need to bookmark but rather a running list of tasks/things I need to complete - and unfortunately I don't know when I will be forced to launch a new profile but don't want to create a bookmark each time for temporary tabs... for example, last night I was just in the middle of planning a trip so had a few tabs open to come back to, but when I logged into my laptop this morning, I was forced to create a new profile and have lost these tabs I had pinned.

Even though I'm on v104, chase.com says "Firefox version not supported". If I reinstall - same thing. Same website on Edge has no problem.

I have recently updated to Xubuntu 22 and in the process my firefox was migrated to the snap version. Now firefox is using its own mouse pointer style (smaller pointer, "hand with cuff pointing left" instead of "hand pointing up" over links). I can edit the system style of my mouse pointer, but that does not change the mouse pointer while in Firefox. This seems the same problem like these two questions: - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1380997 - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1369875

How do I make Firefox use the system settings for the mouse pointer? Or at least how do I change the mouse pointer style/settings for Firefox snap at all?

For reference my Firefox Version is 104.0.2 (64-bit) Mozilla Firefox Snap for Ubuntu. My desktop environment is xfce 4.16.

Thanks, Peter

I never saw a prompt or anything but when I tried to open Firefox this morning it updated to 104.0.2 64 bit and did a complete reset. Lost plugins, extensions, and all settings. (I do have my bookmarks, and I never use Firefox for passwords.)

I have a backup program, so I might be able to restore if I knew what files.

Help would be appreciated.

Please help me get my bookmarks library back. At least the top 20 or so bookmarks! I bookmarked one more thing, tried to find it and add it to a folder, and the whole bookmarks library disappeared. I tried to get it back, but I can only see them when I go to open application menu, bookmarks. They are unorganized. When I tried to see the bookmarks library, it was not along the left side of the screen. It was gray and empty, in a box. Can you help?

Firefox browser occasionally downloads unknown htm files with 0KB size. If I open the file, what I see is just an empty file opened in firefox browser. I have absolutely no idea why this is happening or in what situation this happens. Has anyone heard of or solved this kind of situation before?

How do I sync between to laptops? I would like to sync my settings and bookmarks. QR code generation is ridiculous. I do not want firefox on my phone.

Many Thanks,

I use FireFox almost exclusively; however, I am now experiencing a problem accessing a Safe site, Vitacost.com. Now, whenever I need to access Vitacost.com to order products, I have to use another browser, Edge. Edge does fine. Why not FireFox?

I just spent an hour working with GoDaddy GREAT HELP went back to log in and I keep getting my OLD password, FOR GODS SAKE PLEASE GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER AND GIVE SOME HELP WE'RE NO ALL TECHIES!

Yesterday on Fox News chat the space between words suddenly started disappearing. The space bar will move the cursor only once, then the next letter typed will not space. It only does it in Firefox, not in any other browser. The problem has not presented itself in any other app or in windows. Any solutions?

I've been using FF for quite some time. Until it started crashing tabs constantly, even just after opening a new tab. I tried disable extensions, but didn't fix it. Then I created a fresh new profile and just used sync. Same results. Chkdsk is fine, no malware. I don't know what else to try.

Hi, I have trouble in login. I set 2nd authentication with wrong app, and I didn't backup my recovery key. I also formatted my desktop, so I cannot find recovery key, didn't set firefox sync, and all of my device wasn't connect with my ID.

In this case, how I can recovery my ID...?

And if I cannot recovery my ID, can I delete addon that already being distributed.

Yahoo email issue I have been going around in circles on this 'help' site & now i've somehow found this page so hopefully i can get some proper advice? My sky/yahoo email won't fully load & this has only begun to happen last few weeks, I have tried every solution offered to no avail. Wgat happens is i open my sky/yahoo email vis the fully updated (before any one asks) Firefox browser but my email will stop loading after a few eeks worth, today back to 29th Aug only then i just see grey bars & no continuation of downlaod although the page tells me i have some 700 inbox emails. It's pretty much the same with 'sent' too.

Not highlighting selection to copy or delete so I have no idea where I am. If I cut it does cut what I've tried to highlight on my new iMac--- this issue is firefox related-- works fine in chrome and safari'... I need make this feature work in Firefox-- don't want to move away
