So, There's this website called pw.live and I use it for study purposes. And I've recently switched to linux and installed firefox. But that website loads but any videos or live streams don't. Even though it works perfectly fine on Windows version of firefox.

I tried to search about this and it may be because the content is DRM protected. I'm just speculating though it may be broken for some very different reason. I also looked into solutions to fix DRM related issues. And found some solutions but the plugin Widevine Content Decryption Module provided by Google Inc. just doesn't exist in the plugins tab. There is only "OpenH264 Video Codec" there. And I think that might be the problem.

Thanks in advance.

Firefox won't Save As, won't allow me to change the location of Downloads folder, doesn't prompt to Save...

I am running Lubuntu 22.04LTS (have been for months now), with Firefox 130.0.1 installed via the normal vanilla apt.

It was working fine until a few days ago (perhaps after an update, but I can't recall specifically), and then just stopped being able to save anything.

For example, right clicking on an image will bring up "Save As..." as an option, but when I choose that, nothing happens. No prompt to save, nor does the file appear anywhere.

When I choose "Save" as a pulldown on cloud XLSX files...similarly, nothing happens.

When I download something, Firefox is supposed to open up a prompt asking me where I want to save the file but that never opens...nor does the file download.

I am totally baffled.

Firefox opens to the width of the leftmost monitor (on Gnome)

I am running Firefox 132.0.2 on Pop_OS, using Gnome. I have a dual monitor setup, with my leftmost monitor being a 1080p set as portrait, and my main being a 4K set as landscape.

Every time I open Firefox, the window is exactly 1080 pixels large, no matter what I do. I can of course resize it, but it's frustrating having to do that every time.

If I tell Gnome that my secondary monitor is on the RIGHT side of my primary, everything works perfectly: Firefox stays the size it is when I close it.

It seems that Firefox uses my leftmost monitor's size to determine the maximum windows width, and even overwrites my xulsettings.json every time I close it.

I tried different builds, and even different forks suck as librewolf: no difference. I can´t of course change the position of how my monitors are placed on my desk.

Any ideas?

For the past few months, the browser will no longer download any files. The only diagnostic that I can see is failed when the download is attempted. I have refreshed firefox and the problem remains. Chrome can download without any problems, but I used firefox for many years and wish to continue.

Hi,

The Mozilla VPN seems to have a hard time with the wired connection (or rather the opposite). As soon as the VPN is on, the connection stops working. The VPN do not recognize the wired connection, either.

There doesn't seem to be a mention of Ethernet connection anywhere in the FAQs.

Question: is the Mozilla VPN compatible with a wired connection?

Thank you!

Why does Firefox (on linux) say that my browser is being managed by my organization? I have no organization

I have Firefox as my default browser on my mini PC running CachyOS (linux). It's been acting strange lately and doesn't pop up with email links like it used to and when I went to settings I noticed the "being manged by my organization" notice at the top of the settings page. I don't recall seeing that before and since I'm old and retired and this is a personal PC with software that I installed myself I don't know what this message is referring to? Is this a normal Firefox thing or what?

Not a question.

I needed to file a bug report so I went into settings to figure out what version I was on, only to be met with this useless view (see attached).

"About Firefox" contains no information whatsoever about Firefox. Who made this choice, and why? How is "let's show nothing at all on this page" a decision a product has made?
