After a Windows 11 update, every time I play some video/sound and stop the playback, my whole computer audio doesn't work anymore. When I reset my computer, the audio comes back again. I tried using other browsers (Edge, Chrome, etc.) and other programs/applications, but this only happens in Firefox.

Any ideas on what can I do to solve this issue?

Basic information:

Firefox version: 133.0.3 (64-bits) Operation System: Microsoft Windows 11 Home Single Language OS Version: 10.0.26100 Compilation 26100 Computer Brand: Alienware m16 R2 Sound drivers: Realtek Semiconductor Corp. version 6.0.9738.1

Здравствуйте, у меня возникла проблема: пользуюсь браузером с компьютера, в какой то момент , каждый раз при закрытии окна все аккаунты на всех сайтах разлогиниваются. Приходится каждый раз везде снова авторизоваться. В чем может быть проблема? Где то капался в настройках, разрешал сохранение cookies но это так и не помогло, может быть я просто не все места нашёл и не везде передвинул бегунки.... Вроде в некоторых браузерах бывает такая настройка, специальная. Если она есть в фаер фоксе - скажите, пожалуйста, как её отключить? Если её нет - подскажите какие ещё могут быть варианты?

Пожалуйста дайте ответ с конкретными путями действий , или со скриншотами

When opening Firefox a pornographic site immediately opens. This needs to be immediately removed. We've never gone to this, don't know where it came from, and have looked through most settings to try and find where it came from. It's automatic and it's inappropriate.

Hey all. I am having some connection issues with my secondary comp. Firefox 132.0.2

I recently moved and am getting my home office set back up. Nothing was changed during the move other than shutting down, unhooking everything and setting it back up at the new home. My secondary comp is used for live streaming various TV channels, Youtube, live radio broadcasts etc. Youtube, Google and Gmail loads and works fine. Several of the TV channels load the page but will not stream. Rumble, the two radio stations I listen to and our website host access page all give me the Server Not Found screen. It also fails to update Firefox. Also, my Thunderbird will not download new emails. Now here is the weird part. I can go to all of these sites on my main comp and everything loads and works fine. Any ideas? I have tried changing different settings but nothing makes any difference. I even disabled the firewall.

Thanks.

Suddenly every doc I download or preview is COVERED by something saying I "can now read and sign docs in Firefox" -- and I can't remove this popup -- or even relocate it so that I can SEE the doc I am trying to read.

Is this from my latest firefox upgrade?  Can I undo it?  

The whole popup thing is not even visible, so I can't find something to scroll down and say yes or no. Similarly I tried to play along with it and create a signature. I did that and clicked a "save signature" but again I cannot even see the whole thing so I cannot save it and get out of it. It won't let me take a screenshot so I can show you....

Hello Mozilla Support Team,

I have been using Firefox for a long time, and recently I upgraded my Windows system. Before the upgrade, I had set Firefox to open PDFs directly in a PDF Reader other than Firefox’s built-in PDF viewer, and it worked perfectly. However, after the upgrade, Firefox now shows the "Opening when completed" message and opens PDFs slowly, instead of opening them immediately in my chosen PDF Reader.

I have checked the settings, cleared the cache, refreshed Firefox, and even tested with other software, but the issue persists. The settings for handling PDFs are still the same, but they don't seem to work as they used to.

Can you please assist me in resolving this issue? Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you

I use the IRS form filler to pay my taxes...have for years with Firefox browser. This year (for 2024 return) when I sign into the site the 1040 form does not display correctly. the boxes are to the right and below the actual placement. I emailed IRS who said it is a setting in Firefox. I tried the site using Microsoft EDGE and it displays correctly. I have searched for possible solutions and tried them all like using/on and off excelerator, letting Firefox chose size and colors of sites, turned off Noton etc. I posted another question here but no replies or looks so maybe I did something wrong so I will try to post again. I have W10 fully updated and Firefox too up to date. I understand I could use Edge but never had to and prefer to use Firefox as I have before. any suggestions would be appreciated or where I can report a possible issue with Firefox. I have attached a sample. thank You

I have a question (speculation) about having several Firefox based browsers installed on my Windows 64 PC.

I have a Windows 10, 64 Bit PC with 64 Gigs of RAM. I've always had a habit of installing several versions of Firefox based browsers - all to no avail. However, as of recent, I'm finding that my browsers begin to slow down substantially after 15 minutes or so of browsing - please read on.

Right now, I have the following 64 Bit Firefox based browsers installed on my PC - they are:

Firefox Waterfox Floorp Librewolf

I have quite a large amount of bookmarks saved, and I make sure all browsers have the same bookmarks.

I have a half dozen or so of add-ons, and have tried - from time to time - to uninstall various add-ons to see if they were the cause of the slow downs, but none of that made a difference.

For example, let's say I'm browsing for 15-30 minutes or so, and have a half dozen different tabs brought up. After awhile, things begin to slow down substantially such as delays in clicking on links and having it respond, or right clicking, etc. Browsing speeds slow down substantially also.

Here is what I then usually do:

1. Create a new tab and type in "about:memory" and click on the save memory command.

2. Go into settings and delete cache.

This normally does nothing to speed up things, and I find I have to just close out the browser, wait a few seconds, and bring it back up to things to get back to normal.

This has me speculating - "Could" it be that having a variety of Firefox based browsers with similar data conflict with each other in some strange sort of way" Or is it something else? I know that having a bunch of tabs up can deplete memory usage, but as I mentioned above, I have 64 Gigs of RAM and never had this issue before.

My SSD drive has 500 Gigs of storage, and only half is being used.

Any suggestions or recommendations would be truly appreciated.

Firefox is no longer saving all my history. OR, I can't find it. I can't find it because: HISTORY/SHOW ALL HISTORY is now only showing "today". This occurred with v133, but I do not know if it occurred with any given update. I updated to 134.0.1. That did not fix problem. I have not tried regressing.

In the past, I was able to save YEARS of history (although I sometimes created a new profile to restart the history file due to its size).

1. I was using the "DYNAMIC HISTORY" addon, which worked fine for years. When I found Firefox was showing only the current days' history, I disabled that addon. Didn't fix anything.

2. "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed" option IS NOT SELECTED. NEVER HAS BEEN

3. OTHER SETTINGS: no - Always use private browsing mode yes - Remember browsing and download history yes - Remember search and form history NO - Clear history when Firefox closes

any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated. I am also baffled: googling this problem comes up empty handed.

Hello, Thanks in advance for your help. I am having trouble logging into "trusted" web sites with Firefox and every update seems to add to my problem. By "trusted" web sites I mean sites like Charles Schwab, Spectrum and iCloud as well as my city's water department and my local hospital's portal. It doesn't matter whether I use "normal" Firefox or its privacy mode or safe mode-the problem persists. I am running Firefox version 134.0.2 but the problem goes back several months. I have Windows 10 and use Malwarebytes Browser Guard. The only other add on I use is Print Friendly & PDF. It doesn't matter whether these addons are running or not. The problem seems to involve either a loop, blank fields or very odd error messages. Some examples are below:

iCloud allows me to get to the point where it asks me to supply the 6 digit verification code. I enter the code and the site loads. Approximately 2 seconds later, before I can navigate to anything in iCloud, I am taken back to the log in screen to start over. The loops repeat as often as I want to try. Clearing cache and history does nothing. Since there is nothing abnormal (no error message or blank fields) I have not included a screen shot.

Spectrum allows me to enter my credentials waits a while and then gives me an odd error message about Feature Unavailable and suggests that I try logging in from home. I might add that all of these problems occur while I AM at home. Screen shot attached.

Charles Schwab allows me to get to the log in screen but the screen is unusable. There is a message that the session has timed out and I need to log in. The log in sections of the screen are blank which leads me to believe that the page is not loading all the way but that is a guess. Screen shot is attached.

I can log into all these pages with Edge (which I dislike using) with no problems at all.

I have Firefox set to automatically delete cookies and site data when closed. Privacy is set to Standard.

I would really appreciate any help that you can give me. Please note that the screen shots are BMP files that I had to rename to GIF files to get them to upload.

Thanks again,

Charley

In some pages, redaer view shows the wrong text -- it looks like it picks up text from a hyperlink. An example is this page:

    https://www.britannica.com/biography/Pee-Wee-Russell

where Reader View shows the text from:

    https://www.britannica.com/art/clarinet

(which is linked inside).

I am using Firefox 134.0 on MacOS (Sequoia 15.2)

Last night the 15th January 2025, the firefox decided to update, buy it self closing the browser, however when it restarted it now comes up an Error, something along the lines of 134.0.1 and 134.0 MinVersion, if you have seen this you will know what I mean, it suggested to reinstall firefox, with that I did and I tried to porting all the setting and data and every thing, however it didnot import.

Where can I find the previous version that generated the error to start the import again... as there are links that I simply can not get any more

Cheers

Opening PDFs automatically with Firefox and, without any changes I might make, saving them with the download function in Firefox, actually ruins the functionality and data entry function of that file. Specifically this happens with PDF files downloaded from the (not all that amusing) PDFs from the FINCEN, (US Financial Crimes Enforcement Network). I do not see why and how Firefox thinks it is allowed to change files that are simply downloaded and saved on Firefox.

In other words, it seems that Firefox strips away certain "permissions" and/or "functions" (like built-in lookup, menu or choice boxes). This means that the file so downloaded via Firefox can no longer be used to properly fill in data, or to look up and choose data items within the file. (I see many times that ANYTHING having to do with "permissions" tends to be an intractable and unsolvable problem for software makers & experts, so, if you do not know right away how to solve the problem, it will probably take you several years to figure this out.)

The PDF in question is created by a government agency. If you have ever dealt with a government agency, then you know that they act sort of like Adobe or Microsoft: "They don't respond, or they do respond & say they do not understand, and if they understand, they are either unwilling or unable to fix the problem."

If there is a switch or option within Firefox, which lets me tell Firefox "Save this file exactly like it is received, nothing added or removed!", that would be nice. I just have not found such an option yet, and it would be nice if it might get provided someday.

I will share my browser data, but I am sort of convinced that a detailed question like mine will not be addressed within that shared data.

When I go to the website https://www.rebateinternational.com/RebateInternational/contactUs.do and I try to fill out the webform on that page and use autofill to fill in the e-mail address, it gives me an error message that says "please enter a valid email address" even though the e-mail address is valid. Also, if I do not use autofill, but simply type everything in manually, it still gives me that same error message. This problem does not occur in Google Chrome, but it does occur in Firefox. Sometimes I can solve the problem by erasing part of the email address and then re-typing that part, but that doesn't always work. It also doesn't work if I erase the entire e-mail address and type it in manually. The problem does not appear to be caused by add-ons and does not appear to be caused by hardware acceleration, because I have disabled add-ons and have turned off hardware acceleration. It also does not appear to be caused by cache and cookies, because the same problem occurs after I clear the cache and cookies. I will appreciate any response you can provide to help solve this problem.

Hello, I clicked on a vendor link with a email on Outlook webmail and was refused a connection. Not even given a choice to bypass it. This is a reputable vendor associated with my professional work. Please let me know a work around for this browser behavior.

Hi, I'm working with a website sponsored by the American College of Surgeons. Some of the parts of that website are blocked by Mozilla. Is there a way to trust that website completely?

I got a Firefox update recently and have not been able to access Flickr since then. I am getting a message that the page is not redirecting correctly. I am attaching the error message. I am running with standard firefox protection. I have cleared cache and cookies. I have also added Flickr as an exception to Firefox enhanced privacy tracking. Firefox is up to date (version 134.0.1 (64 bit)). Anyone else having this issue or know the solution?

I can only open 2 tabs while using my Seeking Alpha financial program on Firefox browser. If I try to open a 3rd tab the Seeking Alpha program will not open. This issue just started within the past few days and doesn't occur when using Seeking Alpha program on MS Edge browser. Hopefully you can fix this problem quickly otherwise I will have to start using Edge as my default browser.

Hello,

I am experiencing discoloration on the top left corner of my firefox browser theme when I am in "full screen view". The discoloration disappears when I exit from full screen mode to "window view". This discoloration is happening on every theme I enable. I have attached two pictures to show what I am seeing between the full screen view and window view.

I am running Windows 11 and have a 32" curved monitor. I searched for solutions such as disabling hardware acceleration, but nothing seems to be working.

Any help would be really appreciated!

Thank you!
