Firefox Community Forum

Hello, I am suffering from an odd issue when using twitch.tv. In short, when viewing peoples streams, my video feed will usually turn into colorful static (aka "clown vomit"). I suspect that the issue is coming from Firefox, but I can't be certain. I am using a newly-bought laptop and the issue could be caused by a large number of things, theoretically. Here is what I know:

• When viewing on twitch.tv with quality 360p or higher, the video feed will usually (95%) become colorful static within 1 minute or less. When this happens, the video feed does not ever recover until page is refreshed or quality is changed. (I know a bit about video encoding, so this seems extremely odd to me, if it were due to a networking thing that lost some packets, a full-image frame should come alone sooner or later and fix things, but that never seems to happen)
• The video feed is far less likely to become corrupted when viewing at 160p, but can still happen.
• The ads may become corrupted in the same way that the main video feed can.
• When the feed is corrupted, the rest of the Twitch interface (pause/play, volume, quality select) is extremely laggy.
• When the feed is corrupted, if I pause the stream, sometimes the paused corrupted image is not completely stationary! There will be flickering in small portions of the image, looking similar to texture fighting in 3d rendering, flickering between two equally-but-differently corrupted versions of the image
• The issue never appears when using Chrome to watch twitch.tv. This is what makes me think Firefox is the culprit, not Twitch or networking or graphics drivers.
• Disabling my browser addons does not help.
• Private browsing window does not help.
• Clearing my browser cache does not help.
• I have had the issue happen on Youtube exactly once in 2 weeks, not sure if that's related or not, I think it was a normal "lost some network traffic but fixed itself the next time a full frame was received" thing.
• Video live streams on Youtube don't get corrupted the way they do on Twitch.

Can someone please give me advice for how to fix this? Has anyone seen anything like this before? Is there a way for me to get deeper under the hood of either Twitch or Firefox and more closely debug the video stream when it fails?

I use the IRS form filler to pay my taxes...have for years with Firefox browser. This year (for 2024 return) when I sign into the site the 1040 form does not display correctly. the boxes are to the right and below the actual placement. I emailed IRS who said it is a setting in Firefox. I tried the site using Microsoft EDGE and it displays correctly. I have searched for possible solutions and tried them all like using/on and off excelerator, letting Firefox chose size and colors of sites, turned off Noton etc. I posted another question here but no replies or looks so maybe I did something wrong so I will try to post again. I have W10 fully updated and Firefox too up to date. I understand I could use Edge but never had to and prefer to use Firefox as I have before. any suggestions would be appreciated or where I can report a possible issue with Firefox. I have attached a sample. thank You

Up until 2 days ago, I had no issues accessing my yahoo email accounts (sbcglobal.net through At&T) I had done nothing different re settings. I rebooted my modem and my computer several times. I deleted old history which I do several times a week anyway. I called AT&T support team but they just suggested logging on to another browser. So I tried Edge and was able to access the emails successfully. I even "refreshed" Firefox and nothing changed except I had to replace several quick links. I checked for updates and discovered my Firefox browser is up to date. My Android cell phone has no issues with the emails. I have one on Firefox browser and one with Chrome on my cell phone and no issues with either one. I have been using the same log in link for many years. I even explored the new way to log in called "Currently.com" for yahoo mail. Still won't work on Firefox. But it does work on Edge. I would prefer to continue using Firefox for browser but need to use Edge til I figure this out. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. (BTW wifi IS on and the connection for everything else works fine.

the IRS has free tax form filler that I have used for years. This year (tax year 2024) the page for the filler does not show correctly. most lines overlap and cannot fill in fields. I emails IRS and they say it is the browser issue---clear your cache..I did and not luck.. I did try EDGE and they show correctly. I have w10 fully updated on my laptop. anyone else have this issue and how do I fix..I prefer Firefox.

I can't watch Twitch live stream and videos after updated.When I watching live stream on Twitch, the stream start showing some old tv effect but in colours green. I thought was Twitch problem, then I changed to watch video from my college by using their website. But it still has that effect. But I can watch Youtube videos with no problems. Then i changed to use Microsoft Edge to watch Twitch, surprisingly with no problem. I already updated to the latest version in Firefox. Can anyone help me Please. Thank You

When I awoke my laptop from sleep this morning, the opened Mercari tab did not load correctly, forcing me to log out and attempt to reset it. It acted as if I was not logged in to begin with and would not load the correct account information. When I logged out and then attempted to log back in, I was given an error that stated that the password or account was incorrect. I contacted Mercari Support for assistance, first, as I could not log into my account on an Edge browser, either. When I opened a Chrome browser, it auto-logged me in without issue. Mercari support assisted me for close to 13 hours, and eventually changed my email address associated with my account. Unfortunately, after that, I still could not get logged in, still getting the same wrong password or account message on my laptop. HOWEVER, when I opened firefox on my phone and attempted to log in there, it worked, using the same account and password information as I had attempted on my laptop. Additionally, I was able to log into my Mercari app on my phone, as well as BOTH Chrome and Edge on my laptop. It is only Firefox on my laptop which is not accepting the correct information. I have cleared my cache on firefox, which did not work. I have done an end task on Firefox on my laptop and restarted it, which did not work. I have restarted my laptop, which did not work. I power cycled my T-mobile router, which did not work. I even connected to the internet via hot-spot through my motorola phone, which also did not work. I can log into Mercari on any other way that I attempt, using the same account and password, EXCEPT for Firefox on my Lenovo. Firefox claims that it is up to date and will not find a newer update. Nothing was altered, to my knowledge, between putting my laptop to sleep last night and waking it up this morning. No updates, power interruptions, or anything that I am aware of. I am at my wit's end and am out of ideas for things to try to fix this. Please help. I do NOT want to have to run Chrome again, just to be able to log into a single page on my laptop.

Hello, When I view some pages with inline video graphics, I see a garbled video frame. I have attached a screen grab from part of one screen. I have no issues with YouTube or other videos. It's just the graphics of some webpages such as looking at an Apple product on their site. I have not had this issue using Chrome under the same conditions. It's like I have a corrupted Codec or something. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

Ive been told that firefox does not support https://web.minidisc.wiki/ (Web minidic pro) and only google chrome does. I hate google chrome. how difficult would it be for firefox to support usb devices like a minidisc recorder player. I guess its down to drivers or some form of plug in? Could firefox be made to support my minidisc or is it too much of a security/software performance issue? Cheers Mark

I tried to log on this morning to my mail and get this link" https://guce.yahoo.com/consent?brandType" with a pop up page "oops something went wrong"

all searches I have done to try and resolve seem to be 2019 or older with the 2024 being locked.

I type in yahoo.com, do a search yahoo, they all come up the same message. anything yahoo related I cannot load. and get this same message.

I run malware byte and Ccleaner neither solved this issue

I use Microsoft edge and have no issues.

thank you

On the Dallas Theological Seminary site, only this site, suddenly I'm unable to login - it doesn't recognize my password. Nor will it allow me to make a donation. I complete the donation form and it just keeps going round and round "processing" but never does it. I cleared my cache, re-started my laptop, made sure Win 11 is updated, still same problem. I did not try disabling extensions because they haven't changed in a long time. I opened it in incognito window and was able to login and make donation there. However I could not log in to my Gmail account from there. I went to a different laptop that runs Opera browser and logged into DTS just fine. This problem just started. Until recently I had no trouble with this site.

I use the website MassageBook.com for my business scheduling and communications.

Yesterday, everything worked fine. Today, for some reason, I clicked to log in through Firefox and it got stuck in a loop, returning to the log in page but never actually logging in. I contacted MassageBook and the suggested using Google Chrome to log in. This worked perfectly!

My preferred browser is Firefox, but it's not working for my most used website! I would appreciate this being looked into and corrected ASAP!

I am blocked from opening my Asus Router in Firefox for Mac. I added the router's address to every exception list I could find in Settings and still no luck. I can reach the router through Safari and through Firefox and Edge on a Windows 11 machine. I like my present Security settings on my Mac except for this annoyance. Can anyone suggest a workaround or a setting change that would fix this issue? Thanks in advance for your help.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I have recently found some sites that do not open in Firefox, however, in Chrome everyhing is fine. This was one of them: https://sciendo.com/article/10.2478/jdis-2025-0002

The other one was a login page for an Admin site - that is not suitable for testing, since it contains confidential data.

Could you please check it?

Thanks, Krisztina Kőrösi
