Dear Mozilla Firefox Team,

I hope this message finds you well. I am a long-time user of Firefox and have greatly enjoyed the browser for its speed, security, and user-friendly interface. However, I recently encountered an issue where the latest update seems to be incompatible with my system.

As a user with a low-end system, I sincerely request that future updates consider compatibility with older or less powerful hardware. Firefox has always stood out for its accessibility, and I believe that supporting a wider range of devices would further enhance the browser’s appeal to users like me.

I would be grateful if there could be an option or version of Firefox optimized for systems with limited resources. Thank you for your time, and I look forward to your response.

When I click on Firefox, the top menu bar is dimmed. When I click on New Tab or New Window, nothing happens. I've downloaded, reinstalled and updated the latest version of Firefox but it doesn't work. I've also clicked Option when opening Firefox. I click Refresh Firefox and it works but when I quit and restart, I'm back to the same problem again.

I am writing to request assistance with my Mozilla account. I am unable to access my account due to several reasons: I have lost access to the two-factor authentication app, I have lost the backup data with the 10-digit recovery key, and I no longer have any devices where I was previously logged in. I only have access to my email address.

I do not need access to the synchronized data; it would be acceptable if you delete it and allow me to register a new Mozilla account with my existing email address. Using a different email address is not an option for me.

I am in the process of transitioning away from the Google ecosystem and would like to use Mozilla's services and products. Could you please help me reset my Mozilla account so that I can register a new one with my current email address?

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

Best regards, Evgeny

Using my laptop: I have Firefox set to automatically update. I believe there was an update several weeks ago. Today I had been working in Photoshop, exited it, clicked on the Firefox tab I had open and clicked for a new tab. A window opened asking me for a new profile for Firefox. It said I needed this because there is a newer version of FF. It was weird. I entered the info and then was asked if I wanted to import bookmarks, etc. from Chrome (I rarely use Chrome) so I clicked to import. My big beef with this is all of my saved url's in One Tab are missing. I use One Tab all of the time so I lost a lot of information.

1) Can someone tell me what causes FF to do this because I had the latest version open?

2) Can someone tell me how to get my One Tab information back?

Thank you in advance for help, Becky

I am trying to get rid of old bookmarks.

I logged out of all my devices except my main PC, deleted many folders of unwanted bookmarks.

changed my password

on my other devices that were not connected to sync, I deleted all bookmarks completely.

I only wanted what was on my main PC that I worked so hard on.

now tonight on my PC all the old bookmarks are back again.

this page doesn't make any sense, there is no option to "Delete data from this device" when I sign out.

I'm unable to stream content on Spotify and Netflix in Firefox due to a recurring "WidevineCdm plugin has crashed" error. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Steps I've already taken to troubleshoot:

  • Ensured "Play DRM-restricted content" is enabled in Firefox.
  • Tested with a completely clean Firefox profile.
  • Tried the portable version of Firefox (131.0.3) as well, but the same issue arose.
  • Verified that streaming works fine on Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome, so I don't think it's an issue with my PC or security software (I temporarily disabled it for testing purposes).
  • Made sure I'm not using any VPN or proxy.
  • Performed a clean reinstall of the latest Firefox version.

System information:

  • OS: Windows 11 (23H2)
  • Firefox version: 132.0

It started doing this last week. I had this happening a couple versions ago but it went away by itself (I think).

Clearing cache won't help, not restarting it in Troubleshoot mode, etc.

Firefox is up-to-date and this was fixed a couple versions ago.

New bug?

Hello, I've got a bit of an issue with Sync. So, my current sync profile is outdated by ages, and I'd like to delete it completely and update it with all of the information on my desktop browser. But, when I try to enable sync on my desktop it overwrites my desktop profile with all of the outdated information saved on Sync. I can't seem to find anywhere to delete the saved Sync data so that I can upload a new copy.

I hope someone can help, thank you!

I've been using FF since release #3 and like it a lot since I cut my teeth using NetScape. The past few days FF will not open one of my email accounts. When I click on login, it brings up the logging on page and then just starts blinking and will not sign me on. If I use MS Edge to sign on it works fine. The email account has been working fine for many years so don't know what to do. I've deleted recent history, but that does not help. Any ideas will be appreciated as I like FF and don't like to have to use two different browsers to do my daily tasks. Thanks in advance for any help you can suggest. I'm currently using release 131.0.3 with W-10 on a desk top PC with DSL from my phone company with the email account with their ID. My phone company does no know about or support FF.

Windows 11 system; currently running 131.0.3 (64-bit).

Was offered the chance to update to 132.0 (About | Help) (I do not and will not ever allow automatic updates without user approval, and my profile is stored in an entirely separate folder structure well away from the insecure \users hierarchy). Did the usual click on the update button, showed 132.0 downloading, update button changed to "Restart to Update", clicked the button...

And the update failed. Help | About shows 131.0.3, and the "Restart to Update" button is still active.

Tried again with a full shutdown instead of using the update button, same result.

So how do I force this update to install?

Hello,

There has been an upgrade of Firefox ESR to version 128.3 on Debian 12 bookworm.

Before the update, I could play videos, now I can't.

I precise I can play videos on Chromium, or with the video players.

I have libavcodec58, libavcodec-extra59, ffmpeg 5.1.6 packages installed.

There is an error in the console: Media resource xxx.webm could not be decoded. Specified “type” attribute of “video/mp4” is not supported. Load of media resource xxx.mp4 failed.

This command seems to indicate the session is X11 and not Wayland: ``` loginctl show-session 1 -p Type Type=x11 ```
