I've had no problems for years when using PayPal to pay for Ebay items, but suddenly 14/02/2020 the PayPal pop-up window just sits there with the spinning circle. Paying by credit/debit card works fine, but I want the payment to come straight out from my bank account. Followed the simple instructions like disabling AdBlocker and checking Pop-ups are allowed, as given in other answers. Still stuck for a solution, saw elsewhere a reference to user_pref file but that just confused me as I'm not that technically minded. Any help would be gratefully received.

Youtube audio quality worse on Firefox

I'm working at a music company and we have noticed that audio quality for videos on Youtube is significantly worse in Firefox than Chrome and even the new Chromium based Edge browsers. The audio sounds like it is lower bit-rate with a total loss in low frequencies. You can literally play the same video in one browser, stop it, switch to the other, and immediately notice the difference.
Is this a Firefox caused issue, or do the Chromium based browsers support an audio transport that Firefox does not? I'd hate to think that Google is just purposely using lower bit-rates on browsers other than theirs for no technical reason.
How to Reproduce 1) Open Firefox to a youtube music video on VEMO channel (professional official music videos) 2) Open Chrome to the same URL/Video 3) Play the video on one browser at a time, switching back and forth to hear the difference.

Hello,
When using Firefox, my network speeds are brutally slow (~35 Mbps), while Edge is (~300 Mbps, which is my service speed). I am hardwired through my router, but it is the same wired or wireless.
I have literally tried every single step through Firefox's troubleshooting and have even completed what I thought to be an entire uninstall and deletion of every single Firefox file on my laptop. Upon uninstall and deleting of EVERYTHING, I reinstalled only to be greeted with "Hey, it looks like you reinstalled Firefox, want to refresh everything?". I did (another) refresh and still, same speeds.
Is there a way to 100% remove Firefox and reinstall? I want my laptop/Firefox to treat each other as never have met, in hopes that I can install and get the speeds I should be getting.
Interesting note, Firefox for Android gets ~300 Mbps no problem on my phone.
Thanks in advance!

How do I dismiss the warning message about closing multiple tabs without closing all other tabs?

Using Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1 Firefox 73.0.1 64-bit When I close several tabs, a message box appears telling me that tabs will be closed in 20 seconds, or to click to avoid that. If I dismiss the box by clicking on the window-frame "X", Firefox closes too many tabs. (The box disappears after a few seconds.) I wish not to see that box. I wish Firefox to do nothing I do not trigger myself. How do I eliminate that function entirely?

I want to have 4 windows open when I open firefox. I want to have these 4 windows pinned. When I clear my cache/history, for some reason, my tabbed windows go away and are forgotten.
Is there an option where, when you select the pages you want to open when Firefox opens, that you can say open them as pinned windows? And that it would be smart enough to know those pinned windows are opened, and not open copies of those pinned windows in their non-pinned form?
It's really annoying when I use the "Delete the last two hours of my history" feature, and it deletes my pinned windows.

I have Lenovo & Like using the Back & Forward Arrows to serve as a 3rd Dimension for Tab Browsing set for 50 pages per tab maximum & have about 100 Tabs active or semi-active for easy access to things. I use Private Browsing for 1 window to avoid cluttering my Youtube Viewing History & as extra protection against cookies. I like to keep Firefox active for an entire week usually so that I don't have to worry about the 1 Private Browsing Window losing the Youtube order & potential other stuff. The past week I have noticed that Tabs Crash Randomly & often Firefox itself completely crashes when using Youtube. Does anyone know how to fix this without clearing my cache (that kills the history of each tab) I'm tired of the crashes.

Firefox Stopped working (Window 7 SP1) and I had to reinstall it form scratch. Now I have lost my bookmarks. when I go through the procedure to restore them, I can see the historical backup files going back some days. But when I attempt to restore from any of those files, I get this Error Message: Unable to Process backup file. I can find nothing on Firefox Help that addresses this problem. I have tried it in Safe Mode, but got the same result. Any suggestions most gratefully received.

Using Ubuntu 18.04 and Firefox 72.0.2 (via Ubuntu repos). My list of "Saved Logins" has disappeared. Whether I get to the list via Preferences or about:logins, the list is empty. I should have 100s of logins saved. But when I go to a website that had a saved login, the fields are auto populated.
No I don't have logins.json.corrupt. I only have logins.json No I don't have AVG. I'm on Ubuntu Linux. No I don't have multiple profiles. Just one. Default profile.
Firefox has really become insufferable lately. Forced update restarts, forced multiprocess mode and now bugs like this.
I want my list of logins back please.
And funny enough, the mozilla support site seems broken on Firefox. Kept getting "access denied" when trying to post with Firefox, so here I'm posting this via Chromium.
Why is Firefox STILL the ONLY browser that exhibits the DISRUPTIVE yellow-bar stop/wait warnings EVEN ON 73.0.1?
Long-standing defect that Mozilla has ignored for *years*

When I go to Images on my yahoo home page on Firefox, the images are tiny and there are a zillion on the screen. This only happens on Firefox, and only with Yahoo. For example - Firefox/MSN and EDGE/Yahoo, both work fine. Just not Firefox/Yahoo. It doesn't appear to be a search engine issue, because I've tried different ones with the same result. Picture below is a small section of the full screen I see. It's weird and just started happening a couple days ago. Any Ideas? Thanks much!

This issue promptly appeared after Windows updates KB4525244 of 15.02.2020 My OS: Windows 10 Professional (NOT N ) 1903 I already tried solutions from this support page (Launched without plugins, clean reinstall, clean reinstall and downgrading etc). Doesn't seem related to the Windows Media Pack as Chrome Browser just works fine as well as all the viedos files Mp4 and MEPG that I download does read on the PC player
I added screen caps of the HTML5Test page from FF and chrome.
Thanks for your support
Mozilla Firefox does not work when disabling the encryption key TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA (0xc014)

Dear Mozilla team,
We are a company that develops web systems. The customer’s security service asks us to close all old encryption keys on the server in order to avoid system vulnerabilities and use only new keys. We disabled most of the old keys and the system works fine on all browsers. As soon as we turn off the encryption key TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA (0xc014), then all web systems stop working through the Mozilla Firefox browser. (At the same time, everything works correctly on other browsers). The Mozilla Firefox Documentation says that this browser supports new encryption keys and can work without old encryption keys. Link (https://wiki.mozilla.org/Security/Server_Side_TLS). Also on our server are included all the necessary encryption keys for Mozilla Firefox to work.

Why would Ublock origin want permission to access my IP address ? As a blocker it should block incoming trackers whether my IP is my public or VPN.
