Firefox Support Forum

I'm having problems with playing some videos on youtube, facebook etc. For example in youtube the video never stop to load and after some minutes the following message appears :"if playback doesn't begin shortly try restarting your device". In other browser such as edge and Chrome the video works without problem. I have the last version, 96.0.1, 64 bit edition. I'm using a Dell Laptop, with Windows 11 Pro version 21H2 OS Build 22000.434.

I already done the following steps but the problem still exist:

-Update Firefox -Turn Off Hardware Acceleration -Disable Firefox Extensions -Delete Browser Cache and Cookies -Allow Autoplay on Firefox -Allow Cookies, History, and Pop-ups -Refresh Firefox -upgrade graphics driver -unistall and reinstall firefox -create a new firefox profile

How can I solve the problem?

Best Regards

Padlet.com will not allow Firefox and I need to be able to access for online studies. Please don't make me use chrome!!!

Message: Firefox is already running, but is not responding. The old Firefox process must be closed to open a new window.

Not sure where this fits in so I started here. I have been running firefox for a very long time. For my home page, I am using Protopage. I have my google calendar as one of the widgets on the page. I have it set up correctly. It was showing up yesterday. Now today it is not showing. I am getting this error:

Firefox Can’t Open This Page

To protect your security, accounts.google.com will not allow Firefox to display the page if another site has embedded it. To see this page, you need to open it in a new window.

I have not made any changes to Protopage or Firefox.

Got any ideas what has changed? What I need to fix to get it working again?

Hello, Can someone please tell me how to stop my "search bar" text from also showing up in my "address bar"? I have search the internet and found all of the following ways that have been suggested that have not worked.

I read that I should set the following to "false" to solve my problem.

1) keyword.enabled 2) browser.fixup.alternate.enabled 3) browser.urlbar.suggest.surches

I have also gone into the settings menu and un-checked everything I could find about suggestions or words or anything else being added to the address bar. The only thing that should show up in and address bar is................you guessed it: AN ADDRESS!  :-) Thanks so much for your help.

I really appreciate the help. Mark

Ever since upgrading to windows 11 firefox developer edition will not work for me at all.

I have reinstalled it multiple times now and every single time its the same thing, after a fresh install I can open the browser, use it once, close the browser and then it breaks and I am unable to use it again - sometimes i cant even open it up again it creates a background process in the task manager but never appears.

• - None of the tabs will load anything at all including any of the settings pages or debug/troubleshooting page (about:<page>) - its like it doesnt even attempt to load anything its completely unresponsive
• - Clicking on any buttons in firefox/options menu do nothing
• - If i close it i see between 2-10 firefox processes appear in my task manager which i have to go through and end each task before i am able to open the browser up again and even then that doesnt always work.
• - Because it opens a bunch of processes when you close the browser and this prevents it from re-opening it is not possible to put it into troubleshooting mode
• - Even after a fresh install (described below) after re-installing the browser it always opens for the first time with a message saying that 'I have reinstalled firefox would i like to refresh the browser' with a button to refresh - If i click this refresh button it instantly breaks it

In order to fix this I have to completely remove firefox from my machine including:

• - Everything in my users folder
• - Everything in program files/programdata
• - Search my C:\ drive and remove all traces of mozilla/firefox i can find
• - Clear all temp files
• - Run a disk cleanup
• - Restart my machine

Before i can attempt to install firefox again. If i dont do this after i reinstall it opens firefox up in exactly the same state it was in before i uninstalled it, same tabs open & completely unresponsive.

Hi,

When in a windows 11 (AD connected) Firefox is installed from Ms Store it can't access it's icon when a link is created to desktop by drag&drop from start menu.

I am trying to click on a product to order on a website. Nothing happens when I click on the item. I tried the same thing on Microsoft Edge and it worked. Can you tell me what setting to change to make this work? I prefer Firefox. I am using Windows 11. Thank you!

Since the release of V96.0.2, Firefox has repeatedly crashed at random times, including when first loading pages. It occurs on several websites, including Google search, WashingtonPost.com, and the Firefox support page.

OS: Windows 11 Hardware: Dell XPS 13 9310

I have turned off the automatic acceleration feature per help article suggestion.

I like to use Firefox to manage my websites which are Big Commerce sites. Every time I login into Big Commerce it puts up a message, "Login from New Device" see code sent to your email. Why does this happen? Is there a setting that I can change to fix it? Thanks in advance.

Hopefully this is the appropriate place to ask. Javascript just doesn't seem to work for temporary extensions. When I couldn't get my own extension to work, I tried to follow the tutorial in "Your second extension" (link) and it also just doesn't work. HTML and CSS load just fine but it's none functional. I can't even get a simple log out to console.

I just updated to Windows 11 a few days ago. Is it possible there is some setting I changed a long time ago that is causing this behavior?

No matter what I do I cant run installer. I keep getting redirected to Microsoft Edge. Its already installed but i CAN NOT install Firefox. WHY WHY WHY

firefox not opening since 2022-01 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 for x64-based Systems (KB5008353). I reloaded Firefox. Google Chrome and Microsoft edge work OK. Task manager shows running but stats never change 0% CPU/0.2MB Memory

Hi, if I try to go on to the YouTube Studio Website the Site is loading but then results in a White screen I already tried other Browser and they are running fine with this Website. Some hours ago I had no problem with this Website just since I think its now since 2 or 3 hours since it doesn't work anymore... How can I resolve this problem?

PS: My OS isn't Windows 10 but Windows 11

Why does Firefox use dynamic ports in the 50K+ range when I use it to browse the web?

I have included screen shots with netstat -AB as well as currports.

Furthermore, if I set a rule in Windows Firewall blocking outbound traffic on ports 50000 - 65535, it breaks DNS with Firefox, even though 53 UDP is open.

I'm not overly concerned with any connection that is localhost / 127.0.0.1.

I've tried prohibiting these ports by modifying user.js - No impact, only works if I implicitly call out the port (example.com:55000)

What do? Why is FF using these ports?

Firefox was working fine. 2 weeks ago I installed Windows 11, other than that, I've not done anything new. I click the icon, it attempts to open a window showing just a shadow of it, then closes immediately. I tried to download a new version, but it keeps telling me I can only use Edge. what gives? I hate Edge

When I go to bookmark a web site, as I start to type the bookmark folder name it vanishes.

I have to go into the bookmarks folder, find the no name folder and type in the new folder name. 

As I start typing I have to enter the first letter twice as first strike does not work.

I have thousands of bookmarks which are set up in a Book, Chapter, Paragraph, Sentence format. So when a new folder goes missing it is easy to find the unnamed or a folder with no name. Thank you for the help.

Error code: SSL_ERROR_HANDSHAKE_UNEXPECTED_ALERT The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.

This is happening to literally anything related to Google. Be it gmail, google forms, google docs etc. If I wait for 10-15mins then it starts working. Then after some time again this problem persists. This happening only in Firefox and not Chrome or related browsers like Brave. So what is the problem?
