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?

I am only user of my lap top computer. I signed into my account and got and filled out all auth codes and set preferences. But when I finish my work at end of the day I always quit all apps and turn off my computer. So when I reopen the next day I have to sign in again to firefox which then generates another email saying "new sign in" and I have to start the whole process again. I have spent many hours reading all the documentation Firefox has provided but not solved problem. From all I've read once all auth is done it should be setup. At this time I can't put firefox on my mobile as I don't have any room left for new apps. I just want it on my laptop. I like the browser but to have to go thru all the sign ins each time is pushing me to use Safari. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,
I've been getting question marks instead of words (typefaces) when I load some websites. This isn't consistent. When I use Safari, everything is just fine. Even Chrome.
I've tried everything I could find worth trying in other peoples' queries with no luck.
This is super frustrating.

I use a laptop that I frequently connect to a large external monitor. When on the laptop, often my Firefox v69.0 (64-bit) browser windows are full-sized (not full-screen mode, but just taking up the entire desktop). When I plug in the external monitor, these windows migrate to the external monitor and are much smaller than full-screen. However, Firefox appears to continue to have these windows tagged as full-screen, as when I am on one of them, and open a new window using command-N, I get a full-scree (on the large external monitor) size window, rather than a window of the same size.
I don't think this is desired or intended behavior--is there a way to override it or submit a bug report?
Thanks

I downloaded the new Firefox and now it makes me sync every time I boot up the computer and forgets all my passwords. (so the routine is now turn on computer, login into firefox, login into email, confirm sync, THEN do anything else on my computer). How do I permanently have it remember the sync and open the tabs from last time upon opening firefox?

I'm running 69.0 on Mac OS X (Mohave).
From about:support I can see that I've been updated with the same build 5 times in the last 5 days, and twice today alone. Going along with that, I've gotten the "We just need to restart FF" page many times also. Then, instead of actually restarting, I get the dialog forcing me to create a new profile, which it then runs. Then I have to find the profile list, start a browser with my real profile (which I've carefully saved at this point), and then kill off the instance with the new profile. I can't figure out how to get out of this cycle. I've turned off automatic updates, but something (??) still seems to be updating automatically. When I check the app contents, I can see that some files/dirs have last-modified times corresponding to the update times on the support page, so something really does seem to be happening. The contents of updates.xml seem a bit strange to me, BTW, but I don't know how to parse the entries very well - see image below.
Thanks for any light you can shed on this!

Many development tools will automatically open a browser upon start-up (e.g., fire-up a react-app, or a jupyter Notebook). I only have `firefox-dev` on my machine. I have created an alias firefox -> ../path/to/firefox-dev/bin. I had to do this because `firefox-dev` nor `firefox` worked (command not recognized). Finally, my mac os preference has been set to `firefox-dev`.
Despite having set the `env` variable `$BROWSER` set to the alias, the desired behavior (above) is not happening.
All in all, it would be great to have expanded documentation on how to fully configure your mac to use `firefox-dev`. Thank you in advance for any help on this useful part of my workflow.
PS: I love this app. Nice job!

I get this rubbish: Did Not Connect: Potential Security Issue
Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to www.facebook.com because this web site requires a secure connection.
What can you do about it?
www.facebook.com has a security policy called HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), which means that Firefox can only connect to it securely. You can’t add an exception to visit this site.
The issue is most likely with the web site, and there is nothing you can do to resolve it.
If you are on a corporate network or using anti-virus software, you can reach out to the support teams for assistance. You can also notify the web site’s administrator about the problem.

When I shifted over to firefox, I set the home screen to display bookmarks, and my bookmarks weren't showing (only one, not sure why this was the chosen one).
I deleted them all, and then added them sequentially, and they all appeared and all seemed to work.
Now they've all dropped off again.
I don't have 'restore previous setting' selected (as a prior answer suggests would work, described here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1253979). I sync my settings on my phone/surface pro/iMac.
Any thoughts? Thanks.

Until just a few days ago, when I would visit a particular website that tracks Twitter conversation threads and displays them on a webpage, I could just click on the page and all of the images would appear. Now, those images appear for a second or two, but then disappear from the page. I've cleared cache, updated Flash, adjusted permissions as directed by Firefox Support site, but no changes. There have been no changes to my system prior to the error appearing, as far as I'm aware of.
