The main youtube page loads and displays ok. As soon as a video is played (even in preview), firefox crashes. I'm on Linux Manjaro. other websites with video work fine (for ex Vimeo) I tried disabling all my addons and plugins in the normal mode (not troubleshoot mode) and it still crashes. However, the troubleshoot mode works fine ! Refreshing firefox didn't fix the issue. I have another computer with Linux manjaro and firefox works just fine. I spent a lot of time trying to understand what's wrong but I really don't see why.

Thanks in advance for your help.

In YouTube have some videos, which name seems not correct.

In Firefox settings -> allow sites use their own fonts = enabled uBlock Origin -> no-remote-fonts = disabled gfx.down -> gfx.downloadable_fonts.enabled = true/false (doesn't matter, nothing changes) Stylus -> enabled/disabled (doesn't matter, nothing changes) To Google Translate -> enabled/disabled (doesn't matter, nothing changes)

With Alt -> Page Style -> Without style hieroglyphs still don't show correct

I am making a web page (in Dreamweaver) for a meeting and I have certain things in bold. In Firefox, the bold (<b></b>) does not show. Bold shows up on my pages on Chrome and on Microsoft edge. I've also tried the <strong> tag, but that doesn't work either. The font family for the pages is sans-serf. I really need this to show on most browsers.

With previous versions of Firefox (before 108.0.1) I was able to make changes with about:config to allow a default domain id .com to be added to my Internet query. Example I enter cnn and would get cnn.com and assess the website. WIth 108.0.1 I enter cnn and Firefox cannot find the site. The about:config changes I made are:

 set browser.urlbar.autofill to false, set keyword.enabled to false and set browser.fixup.alternate.enabled to true. 

The changes are mentioned in the incident https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1142103.

With 108.0.1 how can this be implemented like in the past versions? Thanks

Is there any way I can completely disable horizontal scrolling? I'm using a laptop with a trackpoint (lenovo x230, Windows 10) and it's not terribly accurate, which means scrolling whilst a youtube video is going often makes it track backwards or forwards, and another website I use uses a horizontal click to send me to the next page, which sucks. I would prefer to just be able to disable it entirely. Thanks!

I swear to god I used to have it disabled, just need to work out how again.

All of a sudden, Yahoo email is not signing on Firefox on Windows 11. It is working on other browsers on the same computer, and even on Firefox on the Mac computer that is running the Windows 11. I tried all possible solutions but to no avail.

1) Cleared all cached data and cookies 2) Refreshed FF 3) Completely uninstalled FF and deleted the profile folder and reinstalled a fresh copy 4) Disabled all add-ons and extensions. 5) Private window

I am stuck at " Uh-oh... We can’t sign you in right now. Please try again in a while" every time I try to sign in. I get (https://login.yahoo.com/account/challenge/fail) instead of (https://login.yahoo.com/account/challenge/password).

Any suggestions?

Thank you

I just installed Firefox on a new Windows 11 desktop computer. I ported my profiles over and it appears everything came over EXCEPT: - Themes aren't working. I've tried switching them and they still don't display. The menu bar is black w/white letters; the toolbar is gray with white icons/letters. - My extension icons are there...sort of. If I hover over them I can see the tool tip but the icon doesn't appear on the toolbar which is light gray in color. I can live without the themes if I have to. Not so much the invisible extension icons. Any suggestions as to how I can get them to appear as they do on my Windows 10 desktop? Screen cap below. Cursor is hovered over the Undo Close Tab extension icon but where's the icon? Any suggestions as to how to troubleshoot this will be appreciated!!

Hi,

I have for some time (over a year) been using a remote server as a SOCKS5 proxy for Firefox so I can bypass my local ISPs filtering.

The proxy connection is setup using an SSH tunnel like this:

ssh -D 8080 -q -C -N -f root@<remote server> That sets up port 8080 on my local machine to listen for connections which will be forwarded to ssh on the remote server acts as aSOCKS4/SOCKS5 proxy.

    -D [bind_address:]port
            Specifies a local “dynamic” application-level port forwarding.  This works by allocating a socket
            to listen to port on the local side, optionally bound to the specified bind_address.  Whenever a
            connection is made to this port, the connection is forwarded over the secure channel, and the
            application protocol is then used to determine where to connect to from the remote machine. 
            Currently the SOCKS4 and SOCKS5 protocols are supported, and ssh will act as a SOCKS
            server. 

Tried it today and it doesn't work any more. I've attached a picture of my Firefox Proxy settings and a picture of the Firefox version I am currently running. plus a picture of the error I get when I try to access the BBC website using Firefox via the proxy.

I've tried all combinations of "Proxy DNS when using SOCKS v5" and "Enable DNS over HTTPS" with no effect. I've also tried it from "Troubleshooting Mode" and the same thing happens.

I also tried accessing https://www.bbc.co.uk through the same proxy by using the command:

curl --silent --location --socks5 localhost:8080 https://www.bbc.co.uk

and it worked perfectly.

I'd be grateful if you could have a look at it and let me know what is wrong.

Thanks, Alan

Just recently Firefox has started to negatively affect my network connection, seemingly only after video playback has happened. Every fix to six pings the time jumps up from the normal range (less than 100ms) to 2-3,000 ms and then returns to normal. This only happens with Firefox and seems to happen mostly when/after video playback has happened but can also happen without video playback. I have started FF without addons as well as in Safe Mode and it still occurs. As soon as I close FF the ping returns to normal and network stability resumes.

I usually work with between four and twenty tabs open on a page in FireFox. Now what I see above the address bar where they used to be: Firefox Icon < button > button entire top under menu is empty where tabs used to be far right is a + for a new tab and a down button to give me a menu of tabs.

I want to see the tabs, even if they are squished or scrolled when I get a bunch of them.

The drop-down is not a bad addition but it should not replace the horizontal display!

Greetings

When I enter the first few digits of "amazon" the first suggestion is always "amazon.com". That would be nice were it not for the fact that, as a European, I don't have that much use for prices in dollars and imperial measurements. I have bookmarked "amazon.de" but due to alphabetical order .com always comes first. Naturally, I have tried to purge "amazon.com" from my bookmarks but I have been unable to find anything that I could delete. Thus, I am wondering whether anyone might know how this issue might be tackled and I would be much obliged if anyone could help.

Best Regards Felix
