Hello.

English is not my native language, so I watch all TV series and cartoons in English with subtitles in my native language. Everything was fine until, at some point, one of the most accessible players that provided subtitles stopped displaying them. I thought that the player had broken or that some technical work was being done. But after a week, nothing had changed.

Then I downloaded Chrome, and the subtitles display perfectly in it.

It is in Firefox, specifically this player, that subtitles are not displayed. Other players display subtitles, but they are either unstable or constantly crash. Therefore, they are inconvenient to use and spoil my user experience.

In general, if you have any tips, I would be grateful.

How do you avoid/deal with Firefox website incompatibilities? This happened on consecutive visits to two different websites today before I posted here.

In the first one, I disabled Ublock, cleared cache and cookies, and the site loaded, I then enabled Ublock with no error prompted.

Then I got a tab crash on Youtube. I wouldn't call tab crashes a daily occurrence for me, but I'm accustomed to them

Gmail tab crash just now. It just happened now with another website tab crash. i'm reverting back to 147.01

Is there any way to get the root of this. The only recent changes I can think of are browser (147.0.2 yesterday) and addon updates. Should I post my list of addons?

If a click a link on the current page, the new page does not get loaded and the progress bar keeps sliding till eternity. But if I choose the option 'Open link in new tab' things work fine. The problem is being faced both on Windows and Linux. I do not know if it is a simple settings issue. Help is requested. Thanks in advance
