WHY?

Hello, everytime I try and upload a video on YouTube with firefox, the video gets stuck at 0% processing,

This never happened in my 4 years of youtube and recently (a few weeks ago) this starting happening. I use firefox to stricly upload videos, and use chrome to browse with my other account casually.

Now Im forced to upload using chrome but I want to still use Firefox to upload videos. anybody know why this is happening? I've cleared cache serveral times and it still won't work. I have no adblockers etc.

Hello everyone! I’m writing to asking for help about an issue with the camera not working on Mozilla Firefox during video calls. When I try to join a Google Meet session, I receive a message asking me to grant camera permissions - even though the permissions are already enabled both in the browser and my computer’s settings.

Interestingly, the camera works perfectly fine on other browsers like Google Chrome, so the issue seems to be specific to Firefox. I’ve already checked the following:

- Camera permissions are all allowed for Google Meet in Firefox; - The system settings (Windows) permit Firefox to access the camera; - No other applications are blocking the camera. I know that 'cause I'm using this camera on WhatsApp and TikTok Live Studio.

Could y'all please help me resolve this? I’d appreciate any troubleshooting steps or fixes you can provide.

I'm attempting to sync my account between a Windows host and a Linux host. Logging into my account on Linux brings up a "Authorize this sign-in" window that demands entry of a 7-char "Authorization Code" (not the same as a six-digit authentication code) which is emailed to me. After entering the authorization code, a window appears stating "Bad request - Something went wrong. Please close this tab and try again." This happens consistently, and only on the Linux host. Firefox 134.0.2 mint-001 1.0. Linux Mint 22.1. Any ideas about what went wrong?

I've been searching for an answer to this for weeks to no avail. It concerns YouTube videos "autoplay"ing on YouTube. Many have asked this question and most responses state to shut off Autoplay. These are two separate issues. AotuPlay means the next video on YouTube will advnace automatically requiring no user input. If Autoplay is off, streaming stops at the end of the video. The issue I am having is when I open a YouTube video to a new tab (but do not switch to that tab), the video WILL start playing as soon as that tab is in focus. This never used to happen and indeed, on two other computers with the settings and extensions all sync'ed, this doesn't happen, except for on this one computer. Today I found someone that posted the exact same problem 5 years ago and didn't get an answer. He seems to describe it well:

1. Okay, so before, when I loaded up 100+ Youtube videos, they stayed when switching tabs - no autoplay. Suddenly they decide to autoplay when switching tabs - note, I've not done anything to my settings or plugins. Fair enough, maybe you changed something (which you often do, without informing). So I check the options. It was on "Block audio", which obviously didn't work, so I tried "Block Audio and Video" - which WORKS, but now both the video is paused (which I want) AND the audio is set to mute (which I DON'T want) - so... what does it take to have Youtube wait for a click to start playing a video loaded in a background tab, but KEEP AUDIO ACTIVE, so I don't also have to unmute the damn video?

One person posted a possible solution: Maybe check this pref on the about:config page.

   media.block-autoplay-until-in-foreground 

This setting describes the issue kind of. If you have this set to false, the moment you send a link to a new tab, YouTube starts playing in the background. Setting it to false keeps the video paused until that tab is in focus. That is how mine has always been set. What I am looking for is a setting that would say something like: "block autoplay until play is pressed"

Thanks in advance and sorry for being so long-winded

Hi!

Yesterday, April 5, 2025, my Firefox started displaying this message for every search typed in the browser:

"Our systems have detected unusual traffic on your computer network. This page verifies that it is really you, and not a robot, sending the requests. Why did this happen?"

I tried a few solutions: I cleared the cache, restored Firefox, reinstalled Firefox, restarted the internet modem, reset the computer's DNS using the ipconfig/flushdns command, scanned for malware with Windows Defender, and scanned for viruses and malware with Kaspersky, but the problem persists, both in the normal tab and in the private tab.

I contacted my internet provider, and they said there is no problem on their side.

In Firefox, I always use the default search engine "Google".

When I change the search engine to "Bing", the problem does not occur.

The problem does not occur in the Google Chrome browser, only in Firefox.

I am using Firefox 115.22.0esr (64-bit), Windows 7 operating system and internet connection via network cable. I only have one computer connected and I don't use VPN.

Please, can you help me?

Thank you!

This is an exact copy of a question with the same title by Steve Ediger, of August 2022, now archived.

Firefox has my credit card information and it shows up in a window when I go to pay for something, but when I click on the credit card I want to pay with, the details appear on the form but get removed almost instantly.

I am in UK. It was working until recently.

None of the earlier answers have helped.

my wife's copy of Firefox picked up a virus. After trying several other things, I saved the profile, uninstalled FF, and installed the latest version. But when I tried starting FF I got an error message: Your Frefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible.
