Firefox Community Forum

Fire fox is automatically playing videos/sound or both if I click on a tab that has that or also in facebook, etc. How do I stop this? I want to be able to click play when I want to hear/see something.

!. link to youtube only flashes then plays only audio. Full video requires opening link in a new private browser window

2. Typing into search bar for Duck Duck Go in new tab page types directly into active bar...

3. Active bar is no longer at the top but is in Bookmarks toolbar...

I suspect some update problem.

I was able to stream news from CTV news site but for some unknown reason I cannot stream it like I used too I cannot figure out why! Something must be wrong with my setup. Please help me fix my problem.

When switching to full-screen mode in Firefox while watching a video, the cursor won't disappear automatically until you move it. This issue affects all players except the native Firefox player. The bug appeared in version 143 and higher (affects all builds, including stable, Beta, and Nightly). I've tested the issue by rolling back the browser to versions 140 and 142.0.1, and everything works fine. There's a thread about this issue on the Bugzilla forum. macOS versions Tahoe 26.0 and Sequoia 15.7 are currently running. I can't test on other systems.

Recently I had a problem with Firefox opening a second icon on my Macbook. In order to fix it, I uninstalled and then re-downloaded Firefox. I tried to put everything back to the way it was before but I still have a problem with some websites not playing video. Most notably, Instagram and Blue Sky. I have attached screen shots. I have set Firefox to playback videos automatically but this has had no affect. Can anyone help?

Hello, I hope you are well.

All videos played on my FireFox browser are slowed. This happens on any video playing, including on YouTube, even when the video is on 1x speed and is not slowed. It has been getting progressively slower over the past months, and was not fixed after I uninstalled and reinstalled FireFox. Please kindly assist.

All of my streaming services stall on Firefox in the middle of watching regardless of what I'm on hulu, disney, espn, youtube, sirius radio. It's not my internet, which I have had checked by a technican in my house. The streaming works on Safari so it's definitely a Firefox problem. If you can't fix it, I will have to move all of my services to Safari.
