I use Firefox as my primary browser. I have always been able to sign in with Google Nest without any problem. I always entered my user name and then my password and I would be logged into my Nest account.

But now I click on my Google account (https://home.nest.com/login/) and then I click on Nest/Sign in/Sign in with Google. Then I just loop around between the two Google pages.

This started a few days ago. I can't figure it out so now I use Chrome or Safari. But I'd much rather use Firefox. Any ideas? Any help is very much appreciated.

Thanks, John

For the past several weeks I have been having issues where some parts of websites don't load like on Twitch and amazon, and YouTube videos are choppy and pause playback frequently. I have a 7800 X3D CPU, 32 GB of DDR5, and gigabit Ethernet so its not a problem with outdated hardware. I also reinstalled the newest drivers twice, updated my bios, updated Windows, and reset my router so I'm not really sure whats causing the problem. I tested twitch and youtube on Edge and the issues are kinda there but considerably better. I was having similar issues on youtube several months ago when I was using opera, so I switched to firefox and it seemed to fix the problem until now.

It's a bit weird, I got the thing you get when you migrate to a new browser - asking if you'd like to migrate history and bookmarks. I closed it because I've used Firefox for years.

When Firefox opened proper, I got a tab asking to restore the previous session, along with a "Welcome to Firefox" tab. As well I got a few popups for other things, basically just stuff you see when you open Firefox for the first time. A couple of extensions opened up a landing page that should only open when you first install them.

All my bookmarks and browser history is there. The settings have all been reset to default. The extensions are there but all of their storage seems to be gone, like my dark reader extension no longer has the exception sites on it. Ublock has the ad count reset and most importantly all my custom rules are gone! I have spent years making hundreds of custom rules, and quite a few took hours to get right. I am sad about losing that.

Does anyone know what might have happened?

When I was looking at my about:config to see I saw these things in the modified settings.

there's quite a few settings here and IDK which are relevant. The ones in the pictures where just the first couple and I show them because they seem to have something to do with this situation "auto migrated" - when it seems like the browser did this because it thinks it migrated, the first screen I got was asking if I'd like to transfer my bookmarks and history (and good thing I closed it,or it might have deleted those too).

I switched to using Firefox about six weeks ago, from Chrome. At first, it all worked perfectly. Now, I have a 100% reproducable problem: YouTube "short" videos never play. It will display the video player in the proper aspect ratio, and displays the overlayed text from the video's thumbnail and other meta data, but the actual playing of the video fails with a message typically like:

An error occurred. Please try again later. (Playback ID: C8SVj-KCLVM2m_DW)

Windows 11, current patched. on serious Core I9 system with 32 GB of ram, fast video card, etc.

Regular YouTube videos display perfectly. Using Google Chrome browser works perfectly.

The help message talks about clearing cache, but I can't seem to find that. I can see how to delete site-specific cookies and data. I really don't want to clear all cookies for all sites.

I have installed Custom Scrollbars by Wesley Branton which gives me wide vertical scrollbars with up/down arrows in Outlook email. This has started disappearing and reverting to default narrow bars without arrows, maybe I am accidentally clicking somewhere in the reading pane? To get the wide bars back I have to delete the Add-on, close the computer, then re-install the Add-on. Can anyone advise what is going on here and how I can get the wider bars/arrows to stay permanently.

thanks in advance Barry

I've just downloaded the NASA'S EYES app to my Win11 system. My default browser is Firefox, with NoScript, ABP and Ghostery installed (yeah, that's probably overkill). When I attempt to launch the NASA app, it wakes up just enough to look for updates, shows me a startup panel, then that panel disappears. I gather there's supposed to be some sort of behind-the scenes linkage that's not working. How can I fix that? Do I need to shut down the add-ins?

Hello - I love and always recommend firefox, thank you!

One small aspect that I frequently struggle with is the small size of the bookmarks dialog pop-up window. When adding or editing a bookmark, the window only shows a very small view of the folders which makes it hard to navigate to the folder I want to place the bookmark in.

I have search extensively for extensions and settings which could provide a larger visualization, so that more of the folder browser could be seen at once, but not found any options.

Can the mozilla team suggest any work around for this, or submit this as a request to increase the size of the viewable folder tree when adding a bookmark?

Links from the Autohotkey forum suddenly do not open properly. This may have started with my recent upgrade to FF 133.0.3.

Here is sample link:

https://www.autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=134961&e=1&view=unread#unread

If I open this link normally (which, for me, means in a new tab) I am sent to Captcha screen, and upon answering it, then appears only a text outline (not the CSS code) of the page. If I open IN NEW PRIVATE WINDOW, I get the captcha screen again and after answering it, the page opens correctly.

(I usually don't get the captcha quiz from Autohotkey forum also, but that may be their doing. I also can state the captcha screen is not because cookies have been erased. I keep most all cookies.) Firfefox.)
