browser no longer loads gmail.com account with option selction at the bottom right for slow html connection - a better interface for me

It used to automatically give me this selective option when opening the gmail account link... but that link has gone away in place of something much more cumbersome to negitiate.

Can you give me back my slow html gmail.com interface selection link like always before now?

Recently, when I try to play a video on YouTube on Firefox, there is a flickering brightness effect (some aspects of the video seem to flicker bright and dark quickly) which is distracting and makes it difficult to watch anything. The effect persists even when launching in troubleshooting mode, and disabling hardware acceleration and restarting appears to have no effect. I have also been unsuccessful refreshing Firefox. Nevertheless, this issue is absent on Safari and Chrome when watching the same video.

Watching a solid colored video like this helps see the issue best, if it is happening to your device: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJmFYZEcpZA The brightness switch is visible even when pausing the video.

When I find the same video two different places (ex: the Apple Sept 12 Event on Apple's site, versus on YouTube) only the YouTube video has the issue. However, I can't find any settings to change on YouTube to help this.

I was watching Youtube when my audio suddenly cut out. My speakers are fine - audio on other browsers or on local videos work perfectly fine.

I've tried refreshing Firefox and clearing cache, but neither of these work.

When Firefox is launched to maximized, the Windows Taskbar does not display when the Taskbar is set to Hide. Firefox takes over the entire screen. When I use two monitors and Firefox is on the second monitor it the toolbar is visible.

How can I stop this from occurring?

I use Firefox on a PC to access Facebook (website, not app). This week the Messenger/Chat feature stopped working. I click the icon and it opens but nothing appears in the box, it just hangs. There is an option to open in its own window, but that also is blank - no past messages, no contact names, no ability to start new message. When I log onto Facebook in Edge, Messenger works fine in Facebook.

I've tried everything I found on the internet for this issue - updated and refreshed Firefox, cleared history/cache/cookies/site data, uninstalled and reinstalled Messenger, refreshed Facebook to initial settings, used Firefox in troubleshooting mode, reset everything, turned off browser, turned off my computer, used shift key to reload tab - nothing has worked. There are some instructions about stuck cookies, but I didn't understand them so I didn't try that one thing. I've gone into every menu I can find to try to figure out this issue, which isn't the end of the world, but I would appreciate some other ideas for what is suddenly causing this. Because now I have to redo all of my settings and preferences and logins and the problem still isn't fixed.

Hello,

I noticed past few months I'm getting this message from cloudflare after using certain websites while using Firefox on Desktop. I have refresh Firefox every time this happens I tried disabling my adblockers, lowering settings, and disabling my Pi-Hole the issue still persists. Does anyone know what the issue might be or someone else experiencing this?

When I doubleclick an image in Azure DevOps, it's supposed to open fullscreen in a popup/tab. That popup opens, and immediately closes afterwards.

How do I fix this?

Popups are explicitly allowed on this site, but it doesn't make a difference. I have tried turning off content blockers, and changing between strict and standard privacy settings.

I don't really want to go on a wild goose chase and try a billion different things. Rather, I'd like to know how to diagnose this. So how can I know what mechanism is responsible for closing the popup. This will allow me to narrow my diagnosis a great deal.

It would also help to know how I can 100% prevent anything other than the user from being able to close a tab. Just to test what happens inside that popup. Because how can I know what's going on in a popup that lives for a few milliseconds? I'm not that fast.

In my messenger account on my laptop in Facebook I can't contact any of my people. They all say person is unavailable in Messenger. Yet if I use another browser my messenger works. It has something to do with Firefox.

I type "http://localhost:30001" into Firefox, then I see the connection reset error. In my web developer tools, under networking, I see NS_ERROR_NET_RESET.

This only happens in Firefox. http://localhost:30001 will resolve correctly in Chrome and Edge.

To troubleshoot, I have:

1. Tried visiting the site in Troubleshooting Mode
2. Cleared everything (history, cache, offline data, etc)
3. Disabled http3 (based on a StackOverflow.com recommendation)
4. Disconnected from my VPN
5. I am not using a proxy

What can I do to stop this misbehavior?

Hello.

My name is Kris and I have been a life-long Firefox user. Recently I have come across this great Firefox Onebar CSS style, which I have become obsessed with: https://codeberg.org/Freeplay/Firefox-Onebar, which aims to modify the Firefox default appearance. I have installed it according to instruction and introduced few tweaks offered for consideration iin the aforementioned link:

• onebar.hide-all-URLbar-icons
• onebar.disable-https-truncate
• onebar.disable-single-tab

This is the most far I have gone without further ruining the browser by manually editing the Userchrome.css file.

Could I please request your help with adjusting said file content to make minor changes? My expectations are to leave everything untouched besides the following:

• all flexible spaces are removed
• the Extensions button is removed
• the List All Tabs button is removed
• the Home and Refresh buttons are permanently visible and aligned to the left of URL bar, followed by conditionally visible Back and Forward arrows upon their activation (they seem to be in the URL bar already however are invisible)
• the Hamburger is permanently visible and aligned to the right of the URL bar(it seems to be in the URL bar already, but is invisible)
• the search box is aligned to the left, but is preceded by Home, Refresh buttons and Navigation arrows

The Navigation arrows and Hamburger menu invisibility issue might have to do with the colour that has assumed the same one as the theme URL bar background.

If you could please modify that style for me, that would be so great, indeed. I have been obsessed with that ever since I have discovered it. Alternatvely, please direct me to a forum/IRC channel where I can place that request.

Thank you, hank you, thank you. Please, respond. Kris.

All YouTube videos get me the following page, none of them will load. If I open them in a private window, they load just fine. I've tried clearing cache, disabling hardware acceleration, resteing Firefox (only works for a day or two, then same issue) and nothing.

Seems like when I tried logging in to my old account with a password reset, I somehow created a second account with the same email.

All my bookmarks and extension set ups seem to be gone.

Never had this issue, and have been using the same firefox account for like 5 years.

hello

tried to fix this by using trouble shoot mode and then refreshed now can't load anything and crashes what do i do?

some web pages not fully loading without refreshing or go back 1 page and forward again Firefox 117.0.1 [20230912013654] installed 9/12/23 also running adguard adblocker 4.1.57 disabled it to test did not solve

not sure if related but hiccups on pages that auto refresh (happened over weekend) just manually refreshed

thank u m

So some website didn't work for me and I pressed "forget" button thinking it only removes history from a particular website (no). That's it - EVERYTHING COLLAPSED, session is lost, all tabs gone. Trying to restore from "sessionstore.backup" - no result. Trying from synced - oh sure CRAP IS TURNED OFF like always for NO reason

Thanks a lot, douchebag morons. Hope you all die + anyone suggesting to copy "sessionrestore" gets testicle/boob cancer + anyone suggesting to turn sync on can eat my crap

Every day I have to work and use my pinned tabs. But now, they disappear every time Firefox restarts, notwithstanding that your settings indicated Firefox will reopen all tabs on the next session. Why? Where I live there are blackouts every day, especially during the night. So I have to close all my programs, turn off my computer, and restart it early in the morning in order to work. Please turn back to reopen pinned tabs every time Firefox reopens!

I use doxy me for telehealth. Recently my clients have been having audio issues, hearing their voice echo back when using telehealth. Doxy said it is the Firefox browser. They have had reports from other users of Firefox, that since the most recent update, people have had audio issues with echos when talking. They suggested I not use Firefox as a browser when working with Doxy me. Is there anyway this can be corrected or will I have to switch to Chrome as my go to browser?

My Firefox tab crashes often. I eventually need to reboot Firefox. My Windows 11 patches is always up to date and I did system checkups often. I cleared cache files too.
