'how to cast videos from my phone to my TV if I got android phone, and I have i basic Sylvania TV without wifi or Bluetooth connection, hmi and a softwaode with fire fox app.

did a previous update and could not access one of my sites that I visit (rzrfourms.net) it will load home page but not let me do anything. Can access with chrome.Also did another update today and now can not bring up Facebook marketplace, just sites there not loading. Same problem on desktop and two laptops.

'bold text YouTube is "acting insane, sound plays/picture is frozen. Can't pause it. Also can't start it! Ads play on without option to skip. I got some notice that YT was changing something, I think it is broken. I managed to get a video to play on MS Edge, but I normally do not use that. I cleared cache and ALL of that, rebooted computer, etc. connection is good. Searches are fine on firefox, Other sites are fine on firefox. . IT IS YOUTUBE! It is SO bad that now with my mouse, the arrow and hand are NOT showing up on the actual screen where video plays. Right now on here it is fine. but on youtube? no.

I am using firefox on linux since ~10 years. Currently running latest FF on Kubuntu. I always had setting set to forget all cookies and session details except of search history on exit.

Since approx 2-3 weeks (latest update?) those settings don't work. FF remembers everything regardless of settings I chose.

Does anyone have idea why this is happening now and how to fix it?

I have noticed that since around Friday, April 24th, 2026, that Youtube videos will sometimes refuse to load properly. The page for the video will come up, but buttons on the page will not load, and nor will the video. This started happening around mid-day, when prior to it, things had been fine. At first I thought it might be tied into the 'ambient mode' option on Youtube itself., But even after shutting that off, I found it was still happening at ranodm.

Is this something new Yotube is doing in their continued (idiotic) fight against ad blockers, or is there an actual glitch in the browser or, more likely, a glitch in Youtube? Like I said, this seems to occur at random and I can't trace the cause for it. I'll include a screenshot of what I'm seeing. But if anyone knows what's happening here, I'd appreciate it.

I should add that I am on Windows 11 and using the new version 150.0 for Firefox. (Congrats on that, by the way.)

I'll be honest, I keep hearing some other browser can block youtube ads innately. (Brave, I think it was called?) and while the idea is cool, I'm not giving up a browser I've used for over 20 years for it. If Firefox can find a way to implement a similar means of blocking Youtube ads innately, I;d love it. But for now, I just wanna know what the devil is happening with the site. Can anyone help?

I need to access the texting app when traveling abroad. Textedly is only accessible in the US and Canada, and the only supported way to use it from another country is to connect through a VPN that routes through the US or Canada. Does Firefox's VPN connect to a US or Canada server?

suddenly a month after going to windows 11 when i go to firefox home page and try to search for something it loads a clean page but never goes to the page after I have hit enter. Causes me to go back to search page and then hit magnify icon to get to page I am looking for. This causes an extra stroke and is causing me to think about a new home page rather than firefox. Any help would be appreicated.

Hi All,

I have tried the new free browser VPN however it does not load pages if I am using a custom DNS (Quad9) and have DNS over HTTPS enabled. Is this expected behaviour and just a limitation of the VPN?

Any advice would be much appreciated.

I recently saw something about the new VPN when my browser updated. I did not have time to figure it out, so I am pretty sure I remember clicking a button that said "no." Now I am trying to find out how to set up the VPN, but I cannot find the VPN button. I know you are rolling it out gradually to users, but if I had not received it why would I have seen a message when my browser first reopened after the update? I have looked up your "help" pages and it says if you click "no thanks" twice the button will disappear but you can add it back by customizing the toolbar. I have opened the "customize toolbar" tool, but I still don't see the VPN button. Did I have it and lose it? How can I get it back?

Is there something I can do in about:config? I looked there for VPN settings and there were some listings for VPN but I didn't see anything that was obvious to change.

Here is a screenshot of what I found in the "help" section, which did not help me:
