I recorded a powerpoint presentation using the powerpoint Recording function and exported to video - it created an MP4 file. This file plays fine under windows media player, Edge and Chrome. It produces intolerably scratchy audio (sounds of crackles) when played under firefox on Windows 10 and via a website link on Firefox for Android. Powerpoint is for Office 365 MSO version 1908 (Build 11929.20254). Firefox (windows) is version 69.0 build 20190827005903.

With this latest update (this also happened with the previous update with Firefox 68), Firefox 69 (Quantum) refuses to load facebook games. The only thing that displays is a black screen and it just hangs. Does anyone have a fix for this?
This problem happened when Firefox 68 (Quantum) was released as well. It was eventually fixed but this is irritating that Firefox updates are rolled out with bugs and glitches included. I'm just looking for a fix as I had to remove FF 69 and install a previous version.

Prior to FF 69, I could zoom to HUGE font sizes in Reader Mode. As a user with low vision (macular degeneration) this was very helpful. However, in FF69, zooming is extremely limited. The maximum font size appears to be about 24 point - which is next to useless for those with low vision. Is there any way this can be fixed? I tried the Reader addon, but its zoom isn't much better.

Firefox 68. A web site I visit daily always shows a popup asking me to accept cookies ("aceptar y continuar navegando"). It's annoying.
In options, I've selected "standard" for the cookie policy. I've emptied the cache, used the "forget this site" in the history for the web pages where the message pops up, and reloaded Firefox. It still prompts me.
Here's one of the pages it happens on: https://www.antena3.com/series/el-secreto-de-puente-viejo/avances/ Click "avances" or "momentos" and a large black box should pop up on the bottom of the screen, with the "aceptar y continuar navegando" in the lower right in a red rectangle.
Essentially, I want to tell the web site that I accept having cookies and have the web site remember my answer for the future.

Hello,
we have some issues when user run Firefox with already updated profile on Firefox which version is older. Users check "create new profile" and after that report that all them settings are gone.
We can use start parameter: -allow-downgrade or just remove compatibility.ini if Firefox version not like profile version.
But we don`t want do this, I we think the best way is not start Firefox until it update. Can we force update Firefox using config or start parameter?

Dark theme can be tested by reversing the foreground and background colors in the HTML.
For reference, here is the correct GDI rendering of this website:
https://i.imgur.com/dWuZfbD.png https://i.imgur.com/M4oKd7i.png
In Firefox ESR 52.4.1 (32-bit), text renders correctly:
https://i.imgur.com/InrXmeI.png https://i.imgur.com/kn3bZra.png
which is the same as the GDI rendering of this website, except for some line spacing issues.
However, in Firefox 70.0b6 (32-bit), the rendering regressed and text no longer renders correctly:
https://i.imgur.com/Jn2NxGJ.png https://i.imgur.com/qDxww7y.png
Line spacing is correct, but don't let this distract you from how profoundly unsmooth the rendering is in the light theme version. The dark theme version is nearly identical though.
Javascript (apparently) successfully blocked by NoScript - but why is the console completely empty although it should report that scripts failed to load?

Hi everybody,
hope you can help me understanding this.
Browser version: Firefox 60.9.0ESR, installed plugins: NoScript, Ublock Origin, HTTPS Everywhere
I'm using NoScript to block all Javascript by default and sometimes I want to verify that blocking works by looking at the console (F12) output.
Normally, when I visit a website and NoScript blocks all Javascript ressources, the console (F12) should show me error messages that scripts failed to load.
However, on some sites (e.g. stackoverflow.com), when I open the console it is completely empty (no output at all) - although Javascript apparently has been blocked (NoScript tells me that it has blocked all scripts and stackoverflow.com displays that "stackoverflow is best viewed with Javascript enabled").
Interestingly, when I leave the console open and refresh that page, all the expected error messages about failed scripts are suddenly displayed in the console.
So my questions are: 1) what could be the reason that the expected error messages are only displayed when I refresh the page? 2) could this mean that at the time the console is empty, some scripts are executed? Although NoScript tells me it has blocked all of them and the main site apparently was loaded without Javascript?
Your help would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi guys, I need help turning off the download popup that asks what Firefox should do with the file I selected to download. I've ticked the box "Do this automatically for files like this a couple of times but it still pops up every time and now the tick box is even greyed out. This is SUPER frustrating as I am a designer so I download a lot of content all the time and it slows down my workflow if I have to click a popup box every time I download something. Thanks in advance! :)

Hi, I am suddenly getting frequent Firefox crashes after a recent Firefox update. It still crashes in Safe Mode with hardware acceleration disabled. Memory tests fine. All software is up to date.

I have used two factor authentication to access my account. Now when I have switched telephone I can of course not login any more. Since I had a disk failure, I have lost my security code too. Furthermore, when I try to login with my normal mail address, I get the screen saying "Check your email for the verification link sent to... " but there is no mail sent. I had to use another mail address and create a new account to access the support here.
Why is there no verification link sent? How can I enable my normal account again? I need it to update my add-ons.

Why is Firefox not writing a new file when I open or close a tab? Is there anything I can do right now do get diagnostics on this problem? I believe that tomorrow I may be installing Windows patches and have to reboot, and restarting Firefox will lose all diagnostic data. Thanks.

Mac OS X High Sierra 10.13.6
Here's the routine with FF on this machine: If FF 68.0.2 is running, after a while I will try to open a new tab and be told "Sorry we need to do one small thing to keep going, FF has been updated in the background, Restart FF" I do so. It opens up a new, clean profile in a new window (About FF now says 68.0.1 in this version of FF, and it downloads 68.0.2 and prompts to Restart FF (again)). At which point it runs "a new helper tool" and re-updates FF to 68.0.2. I then have to mess with about:profiles to go back to my profile. Things then run routinely for a few hours or a day, before the whole routine starts over again.
Alternately, if FF 68.0.2 is not running, if I open it (after opening and closing it several times without issue), I will get a message that "You've launched an older version of FF, Create New Profile or Quit". Create New Profile leads me through the routine above.
Versions of the above routine have happened not just between 68.0.2 and 68.0.1, but also between earlier version updates. That is, this has been going on for months. It does seem in the last couple of weeks that the interval of time has shortened and I'm having to do this routine everyday or even multiple times a day. I have no problems like this with FF on any other machine.
I've tried:
Trashing FF and re-dl'ing from Mozilla. No dice. Trashing FF, trashing Library/Cache/Mozilla and Firefox folders. No dice. Trashing FF, trashing Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles (and re-signing in to retrieve my existing bookmarks etc and re-setting up View and other Preferences). No dice.
If anyone has any ideas, I'll be grateful, thanks in advance.

Please restore Cairo as a rendering backend for Firefox. As you can see from the following screenshots, text renders much better with it than without it, even with MacType installed and running. The first screenshot shows a web page in IceDragon, which still has Cairo. The second shows the same page in Firefox 69, which doesn't. The difference should be quite obvious.
Backing up my Firefox history
Is there a way that you can backup your Firefox history? Because I would like to save my history as a file, and I'm just curious to know if there's an option.
