Videos will not play in firefox. They will play in safari. I tried clearing cache and settings to allow websites to auto play video and sound. Nothing is working. It says I have the latest version of firefox. HELP!

I recently purchased an IMAC 2024 M4 running Sequoia OS computer and migrated my files from my old IMAC. I have been using Firefox for over 15 years without at problem. Now I cannot open often visited sites like my bank, American Riviera Bank, Craigslist and others. I just get a blank white screen when attempting to access the website. The same ones are fine on Chrome. What has happened here and how do I correct this - Its really making me crazy. Thank you, Richard Houser

A webpage I just closed recently is not listed in the drop down window from History and also Recently closed tabs. In addition sometimes when I click on the Back arrow, it does not go back and when I have right clicked on the Back arrow, it has shown previous webpages.

I can only see 2 emojis on my Facebook items. I used to see 5 or 6 This is a recent problem I can see them all if I use another browser Why is this, and can you fix it? I like Firefox.

I understand Firefox has always had a bit of an issue with SVG - and the 'Firefox has higher standards' doesn't really cut it.

I personally love Firefox but the number of users doesn't warrant spending much time redevloping sites to overcome a shortcoming that no other browser has.

Eg of a website the problem applies to - https://fontmellmagnavillagehall.co.uk/

Hello, i am having an issue with firefox mobile for android not loading certain websites. This seems to happen randomly and i cannot figure out why. When i click on a website url from the search page i sometimes get the error message, "Server Connection Failed", and i cannot get the page to load at all. I have tried to clear my cookies, clear my cache, uninstall and reinstall firefox as well as update it but it still keeps happening. This has been going on for years to the point where i am forced to use other browsers to get certain pages to work and load properly. I dont want to leave firefox because i really need the dark reader extension app because i have photo sensitivity due to epilepsy.

Can anyone help me figure this problem out or offer me an alternative browser where i can turn every page that i search to dark mode like the extension dark reader?

Thank you!

Hi -

I've been using Firefox for 10+ years, and have not touched my add-ons etc for years. I also regularly clear my cache of temp files.

That said, searching my (vast) bookmarks in Firefox used to be lickety-split, very fast. Then, it started slowing down, on both PC (Windows 10). Then, a little while later, it started on my laptop (Macbook with latest IoS).

It's now gotten so bad that I am searching my emails to find the links I'm looking for, rather than putting my browser into a coma for a time, because it freezes.

What is the problem, and how do I overcome it?

When Firefox is on, and I shut down or reboot my PC directly without closing Firefox, it shows a problem. When I click the restore session or start new session' option, it takes some time to load the webpage. Sometimes, it takes 3-4 minutes to establish a connection. After resetting all data from Firefox, it fixes, but then it gets slow from time to time again. However, it is a problem to reset all the data regularly.

Still waiting for an answer to the above question. Why does the page jump back to the top when I want to open a link in a new tab? The link is halfway down a page but when I do a right/left click it jumps and invariably opens the link a few articles above the actual article I want to read. This had been happening for months now and nobody has bother to give a solution.

Hi, I've been receiving the following rejection message as follows: jino.ru rejected your message to the following email addresses:

postmaster@pop3-server-spam.org The address you sent your message to wasn't found at the destination domain. It might be misspelled or it might not exist. Try to fix the problem by doing one or more of the following:

   Send the message again, but before you do, delete and retype the address. If your email program automatically suggests an address to use, don't select it.
   Clear the recipient AutoComplete cache in your email program by following the steps in this article: Status code 5.1.1. Then resend the message, but before you do, be sure to delete and retype the address.
   Contact the recipient by some other means (by phone, for example) to confirm you're using the right address. Ask them if they've set up an email forwarding rule that could be forwarding your message to an incorrect address.

The sender of the email gets those message. I get them also but I'm also getting the message that they send me. It's only doing it with my outlook account. Why is that? I checked it directly on the Outlook website and everything is OK. I can't understand why this is happening.

My linux system no longer has pulseaudio installed (for reasons unrelated to firefox).

The --enable-alsa option is not rejected by firefox but doesn't work either. The only way to get audio from firefox in this install is through the apulse wrapper:

    apulse firefox ...

Note that chrome browsers have no problem with audio when pulseaudio is not installed.

Is the --enable-alsa in firefox supposed to work?

thanks!

Unable to use paypal on Firefox (136.0) for a couple days. Worked fine previously for years. Click on paypal payment link at multiple websites produces a window with spinning circle which eventually disappears. No transaction is recorded. I've checked with paypal, no issues with account and no record of failed transactions. I've deleted the history cache for paypal. Still doesn't work. Paypal does work with Chrome at same websites.

Hello, ever since I upgraded MacOS to 15.3.1 and Firefox to 135.0.1 the top menu bar seems to disappear. I do not know which is the culprit, but on MacRumors (https://www.macrumors.com/) you'll find several others with the same experience.

My personal observation is that it seems to happen on various Silicon hardware (tried 3) and when multiple tabs are active.

The bug is no showstopper, but to proceed you got to click on the (invisible) menu bar in the upper left. Thanks for reading.

JOOP!

Suddenly found that there is a good key is not there, and other application habits are not built, currently found four points that will allow me to replace the browser habits. 1. close the web page a key to restore, gone, although there are shortcuts, but inevitably will conflict with other software, without this very difficult 2. Open the bookmarks on the web page, actually from the original web page directly replace the original as long as the point of opening a new web page, a new window will pop up to change, it is because of this just choose Firefox, or else use Google's browser! 3. Complaints about the time of the proposal, very not silky smooth, looking for a long time, click on the input is also a problem, a problem can not be found, a ring set of rings, can not be simple earlier tips from where to send mailboxes! 4. Extensions and themes can not be used, some translations, downloads, screenshots can not be used, your purpose should be to better serve the people, if you do not allow the installation of extensions and plug-ins, you do a good job of their own can also be, but you do not have, or to build a good use of your own plug-ins platform for everyone to download the genuine, I think it will be better for everyone to use!

The above four points, I will send an email every day until March 31, if these have not been updated, or I have not been given if to change the operation to restore these features, I think I will replace a browser that has been used for a long time.

Wasted a lot of my time trying to figure out California DMV registration renewal in firefox. Would not complete transaction. Forced to use chrome instead. So, why should I continue firefox if I'm being forced to use chrome?
