Firefox Community Forum

Hello there. Unfortunately, according to Netflix help pages, Firefox Linux is limited to 720p, unlike Windows or macOS version. Opera is the only linux browser allowed to stream Netflix at 1080p.

This is a Netflix side limitation because using a fake user-agent is a workaround.

I have reported this problem to Netflix, it appears to be a DRM limitation. My report to Netflix have been share with their tech team, but I doubt that leads to anywhere.

Question : why this limitation ? Is the Widewine codec implemented differently in linux version ? Is there a way to make Netflix change their rules from Firefox team ?

Just what the headline reads, I have had zero problems before but with the new update my browser keeps slowing down and crashing on DuelingBook (a yugioh sim) even though it never did before. I havent tested other sites, but pokemon showdown works still so I wonder what the problem is.

Trying to connect to my insurance company's website, it does not show my info, puts up a statement "You are in Privacy Mode. Your web browser does not support some features at the moment. Live chat may not work properly for you. " What's wrong" Windows 11.

Facebook Games - I get this: "Sorry, your browser does not support this feature. Please use a different browser and try again. " What do I do? - 10/20/2025

As of a few days ago (mid-October 2025), when I'm on an eBay listing page, nothing I click on works. I can navigate to my watchlist, selling pages, etc, so it seems like it's just the listing pages. When I'm on a listing page, if I click on the heart to "watch" an item, nothing happens. If I click on thumbnails in the photos to try and view other images than the main one, nothing happens. The buttons on the right for "Add to Cart", "Buy it Now", etc also do not function. I think it's been about 3 or 4 days since this problem started. I opened a listing page in Chrome and it worked as usual, all the buttons seemed functional.

Onedrivelive.com displays a blank screen when opening from a "your memories from this day" email (coming from <photos@onedrive.com> ) and I have to repeatedly hit the refresh button to get to a normal display of my photos. And then if I click on the photos to display them that screen of rolling, blank gibberish appears again so I have to view them by opening an image in a new tab.

And by gibberish I mean the screen is brownish with waves of dark/light color going back and forth across the screen. (the attached image is what shows up)

This only happens in firefox if I open it in another browser such a edge it displays normally.

Hi, I have to use Firefox 115.18.0esr (64-bit) due to depending on accessibility tools I need.

I am now finding that websites based on the Discourse Forum will not support this version of Firefox so I was wondering if anyone knows of an FF fork that might work.

I had family over at weekend and ironically none of their Apple devices could access such forums either, not on their iPhone or their iPad.

I tried to contact Discourse but of course their own site depends on the latest version of their awful forum software too.

I think that it is shocking for any website or app or other service to just cut loose disabled, elderly and those in developed countries who depend on old software.

I am still on Win7 as that is the only platform that runs the tools I depend on.

One member of my family was talking about running an Oracle Linux server in the Cloud (wherever that is) and running virtual machines (whatever they are) to allow me to run old and new, but they said that might take months to setup and could not even be certain it would work.

I find it ironic how website are designed to not lose a single user through bad design and they they cut of thousands with this archaic policy.

So I am here to ask if there is a workaround, either a fork that works with these sites or a hack of 115.18.0esr (64-bit) that makes it report that it is V142.04 or something.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hello, since I installed the Firefox 141.0 update today, I can't login to Reddit. I tried logging into Reddit right after updating Firefox, so did a System Restore to see if that corrected the problem, and it did.

To double check, I installed the Firefox 141.0 update again, and encountered the same problem logging into Reddit again, so it's definitely this new update causing the problem.

I've attached the Reddit messages I get. The 1st is the initial message, and the 2nd after I retry logging in.

I would greatly appreciate help with this.

Thank you,

Michael T.

Still having trouble viewing Fox News with a spinning circle. The link below may provide some help in providing an answer. Tried other browsers and all seem to work OK. Any help would be appreciated.

Running desktop windows 10 with Firefox, google maps opens but not not working correctly. The problem is only with Firefox. I have deleted the cashe, verified no extensions present, reinstalled windows and following all initial recommendations - google maps does not work with Firefox. Suggestions?

Since the last update, I am unable to log into my American Express account using Firefox (I can log in using Chrome, but Firefiox is my default browser). After entering user name and password, the little spinng arrow goes around for 8-10 seconds and goes off again - it won't to progress to the next screen . Never any error messages, it just spins awhile and stops.

Cannot open AOL Mail or Facebook at times after sleeping my PC. If I revert to my Laptop or using MS Edge on my PC all is fine. I have reinstalled Firefox, but problem persists from time to time.

I can play this video with Chrome:

       https://www.bitchute.com/video/svoRcPeYjlCb/

It appears to be unplayable via Firefox for Ubuntu, 143.0.4 (64-bit), or earlier versions.

Is this some sort of censorship?

I tried making a PWA ("Add tab to taskbar") for "https://discord.com/channels/@me," but when I launch it, it only navigates to "https://discord.com," which is a splash page that prompts you to either download the Discord desktop app or continue on the web (clicking to continue on web then takes you to ./channels/@me). Examining the desktop shortcut for the PWA confirms that the URL it targets is "https://discord.com"; however, changing this url manually in the shortcut then relaunching it STILL only navigates to the discord.com domain, not the full discord.com/channels/@me url path that I specified.

Can anyone else confirm whether PWAs can only currently target a domain, not a specific url path?

For years I have used Firefox to access my Bank of America online account. I am also using Quicken kinked to Bank of America. Today, when logged into bank of America, every action I take results in being sent back to the sign on screen. After clearing with Quicken Support as requested by BOA, I was directed to use a different browser which worked normally. I was told by BOA that the issue was with Firefox.
