Firefox Community Forum

When I full screen in YouTube, Firefox makes a Fade in animation. Can I disable it and make the default animation works?

Note: I notice that Firefox on Linux doesn't have this feature, I don't know why this feature is only for Windows.

System Information: Surface laptop has Windows 11.

HP INTEL LAPtop: Windows 11 Fails two sequential video mp4 links using basic html Video code

Works in iphone firefox,safari,opera,PC Edge but NOT PC firefox.

1st link good 2nd fails ERROR MSG no video with supported format and mime type found. Also had same problem in Windows 10 last year. This on an HTML 4.01 we site.

I am using FF desktop. All of a sudden, I get no sound through my laptop speakers when trying to watch videos (on YT and FB for example). I still get sound if I use external speakers through the 3.5" jack. I still get sound through other browsers, no matter if it's through the laptop speakers or external ones. So, it is definitely an FF problem. Sound works fine on all other media files on the laptop. Refreshing FF didn't fix it. Nor did reinstalling or restarting the laptop. I tried changing the autoplay settings as suggested in the help article, but still no laptop audio via FF. How can I fix this? Thanks

Hello, I use my providers web email promail.ptd.net , but they don't have where I can add a sound to incoming email or specific ones.. I did add the promail to your notifications,settings, but can you explain to me what the step would be to get their incoming email to make a sound of choice while using Firefox? or do i have to switch to an email program that already has that option? I wish Eudora would continue!

Good morning, after today's FF update - right click dropdown menus are terrible! Nothing works for me... Opening new windows, new tabs, adding to bookmarks, copying, pasting, etc... How can I turn it off because I can't use it. I need to have a menu like in version 133.0.3. If I can't change it, I will have to change the browser because I can't use it! Thanks for your answer and best regards! Arthur

TV signal, and audio cuts out (black screen) when using mouse arrow to drag scroll in side bar. Also gives a loud audible "click" as sound is temporarily cut out. ( Most probably whole HDMI signal is cut)

Black screen bug happens randomly with You tube with no mouse or keyboard action, but 100% repeatable with this website when scrolling :

Please advise how to fix

usually when i click my keyboard's knob thing, it will pause and unpause whatever media is playing. but recently it's stopped doing that. it will work for anywhere between 2 mintues to 30 minutes, but eventually it stops. the only way to make it work again is to refresh the page or start a new page. the troubleshooting steps i've taken is: -close other media software (spotify, other tabs etc) -gone to abouy:config and typed in mediakey to check it works. also turned it off and on for good measure -turned off xbox gamebar -turned my pc off and on again. none of those worked i also thought it might be autoplay being turned off, but it didnt do anything. please help. thank you

There's already a decent help article about how to block videos from autoplaying:

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/block-autoplay

The problem is, it works haphazardly. Even if my default for all web sites is "Block Audio and Video", on some web sites (not all) embedded videos still start playing as soon as they scroll into viewport.

Some have adviced to delve into about:config and set media.autoplay.blocking_policy to 2 (default is 0) and, based on quick testing, that actually seems to help but why exactly does it help? If privacy settings already have a setting to block autoplay, why does that particular configuration change make it work as it is supposed to work?

Running Floorp 12.5.0 (Firefox offshoot) on Win11, if that helps.

Some videos on X don't play. They show the continuous circle loading. Copy that video link and load in private browser and it plays normally. How do I find out what is keeping them from playing in the normal browser. I tried disabling all extensions. No change. Any ideas I can try?

The taskbar (the one with the Start menu) doesn't hide when watching videos in fullscreen mode. This happens on YouTube as well as on any other website. The problem disappears if I run the browser in Safe Mode. It's only Firefox that doesn't work — in Chrome the taskbar does disappear.
