When using the PiP feature is there a way to switch whether it pauses the video when closing the PiP player?

Often if i want the audio to continue but dont want the popout player there and if I press the close button it will just stop the audio. If I select the PiP window and use the shortcut CTRL + SHIFT + ] the audio will continue playing as I want it however this is inconvenient and requires using the keyboard, is there any way to change it so that closing the popout player doesn't stop the tab from playing audio?

Three days ago video clips in Firefox News stopped loading. I get the never-ending circle showing that the system is trying to open the video but it never loads. I am in the process of moving all applications and file from my old computer from one windows 11 computer to another. The videos work on the new computer but no longer on the old computer. Any suggestions regarding getting the videos to work on the old computer during this transition?

On some websites that use radio buttons to navigate, I have found that either it returns with a blank line (such as thumbnails on Newspapers.com) or the site hangs (as I did when I tried to register online for two different transactions). In contrast, when I switch browsers, the sites work just fine.

Because I thought that restoring Firefox would solve the problem, I did just that; however, the problem persists.

What should I do now to make the sites work correctly?

I was browsing normally when suddenly the right click menu stoped doing anything. If I right click it still opens but nothing I click on does anything. I can't copy, paste, open a link in a new tab etc. It also appears to have new options on the menu that I don't recognise. I have no extentions or pluggins exept what comes default so I doubt it's that.

I tried in another browser and it worked fine so it's just firefox.

Firefox stops responding(the message from Fire fox) during my attempts to download files from my personal email. This freezes up my computer and I have to (Ctl-Alt-delete) to regain control of my computer. Every time I try to download, this occurs. I can choose print (the file) and this works. Fire fox should not be stop responding?

Sessionstore.jsonlz4 does not contain the current tabs, so where are they? After losing all of my tabs I copied the sessionstore-backups. They were quite large. Obviously they must contain my lost tabs. But now the current sessionstore.jsonlz4 has the very same large size. However, the lost tabs do not show up when Firefox is launched! And yet the few tabs – I’ve tried one, two, and three – that were open when Firefox is closed do show up. And the large size of each “new” sessionstore.jsonlz4 does not change at all! BTW I have tried inserting each one of the backups and nothing changes. The current tab or tabs shows up, but not the lost tabs. What is going on?

Every time I type in "Blue.." to get to Bluesky social, I get an entry at the top "blue marble creative."

I'm unable to delete this autosuggest. It does not have 3 dots next to it like all the other entries do. Does this mean it's an add? If so, how can I prevent it from coming up?

I have never visited the link.

Completely bizarre behavior that I cannot explain or find any google matches for. When I enter a search term in Mail, I don't even have to hit enter, it shows up in Firefox's search field as soon as I make Firefox the active application (iMac desktop). It happens if I have the Firefox search bar open, or if I open it (Cmd-F) afterwards. It happens in Private Browsing. E.g. if I clear the Firefox field, go to Mail, type some letters into the search field, as soon as Firefox becomes the active window, the search term is populated.

I will entertain any explanation or suggestion, whether based in reality or not. FWIW I'm running Malwarebytes unpaid version so I have some sorta protection. For FF extensions I have Ublock origin, FB Purity, and FB container. I tried turning them off; no change. I didn't try restarting FF after turning them off though, too many tabs needed right now.

thanks, jim

I HATE, HATE, HATE this change. I try to access my doctors at different locations and get blocked out. It has happened about 5 times in less than 4 days.

And right clicking doesn't work. I have to restart my computer or I am not able to contact the second hospital.

I can't tell you have screamingly stupid this seems.

I can't use Google search, Java not running yet it was the other day, I have 'Open264' plug-in, in 'about-config' Javascript.enabled is set to 'true'- I tried toggle it and re-booted but still same.

Then, I tried in browser 'safe-mode', lo and behold that solved the problem.... why is this? What I didn't mention is before doing all this I tried Java script and that work OK.... but not Google search.

Thanks, Dave

Each day I get email from WSJ Editors for "Today's Print Edition. When I click the blue button "Read Today's Edition" edge is launched and the print edition is there even though I have Fierfox as my default browser. I use a gmail account that is displayed in Microsoft email. Win 10 64 bit OS.

Since the last update I find while using Google or Duckduckgo browsers that sites will load or are very slow to load. Not all sites but especially new sites. How to we fix this?
