Firefox Community Forum

Look, I like watching movies and youtube on the big screen with the sound system. Firefox keeps making a new (usually maxed out) slider in the volume mixer and tries to blow around $2500 worth of speakers (JUST speakers, not counting cost of the cabinets). It's happened more than ten times in the last couple of months and I'm getting freakin mad. I've been using this setup for over ten years, until this crappy piece of modern engineering made it impossible to control the volume.

I get an e-mail each day from The History Channel. Up until maybe four months ago I never had an issue, but recently I get the message Something Went Wrong Setting Up a Google DAI Stream as pictured below. I've got the latest Mozilla FireFox browser and Windows Home Edition 10. I can't quite figure out what is causing this. The link below works fine in Chrome and Edge. Any ideas for me? I prefer the FF browser. Thanks. - John

Hi, FF Community Forum - I installed a fresh copy of FF. Big problem; when I click on a link, nothing happens. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. I am desperate, and after spending many hours troubleshooting and reviewing past articles, I am at my wit's end. I will try any reasonable suggestion, bar throwing this infernal torture device, out the window. But then again .... Seriously, I need help, and a vial of aspirin. Thanx for reading my tale of woe. Again, all ideas will be attempted. Best regards, Nick M.

ALL of my bookmarks are gone. I am a musician and I store all of my songs in bookmarks. I use a website to create music (beepbox.co/modifications of beepbox), which is why i can only save them in links. So, I obviously use the bookmark feature. This becomes a problem when, for apparently no reason at all, all of my bookmarks disappeared. 4+ years of my music being saved to Firefox is gone. How can I recover them? Please. I've tried resetting Firefox, looking in my mac for files that could lead anywhere- All leading to nothing. The only hope I have is if someone that somehow has access to many bookmarks inside Firefox could find them, and restore them to my profile.

I don't want to lose it all.

I am running FF 114.0.2 on MacOs 13.4. Almost daily but more so after a weekend when unlocking my mac my firefox says it can't connect. No sites load, nothing works until i kill it from the Activity Monitor and restart it and it works fine. Chrome running next to it has no issue resuming its connection.

I have tried everything i can think off and nothing makes it work as it should after the mac sleeps.

Activity - I decided to add the AdBlocker Ultimate Extension to my FireFox. addons://detail/adblockultimate@adblockultimate.net During or after download it started to dispay a web page. FFox and my entire machine became VERY slow, and the message "TLS handshake with Google.apps" was displayed bottom let of the FFox Window. AFTER MUCH time, a "donate" page was displaed with various buttons and payment options. May be for a moment my Linux machine speeded up before going VERY SLOW,,, eventually a window poped up saying@ script "Chrome://browser/content/tabbrowser.js.5262" - do you wish to stop or continue,,, Despite clicking "Stop" lots of time, - which was difficult as mouse arrow movement was slow due to machine being slow / dead. EVENTUALLY - despite waiting long time for the Java Script to complete, I had to power off the m-c & restart. ... It is VERY FAR from good that Through any web page - that FFox can crash my machine... IMHO - TOTALLY DANGEROUS, and far from good. I have found this a very frequent problem, with FireFox crashing my Linux M-C Some web sites are better than others. Or rather some website will very quickly kill my Linux MC.

I frequently watch news videos. When the connection is slow, at least one CPU core to 100%. I am extremely confused why. Causing a core to go to 100% isn't going to speed up the download. That's a network issue.

For Securing my Apache server i have created a CA and from that CA i have created a self-signed certificate. When i add the certificate to the certificate manager and try to access my domain with https i am getting this warning 'Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead'. My certificate has enough validation. How can i get rid of this warning.

I've tried the F9 Keyboard Shortcut, I've tried other Reader Add-Ons, this function simply doesn't work with Outlook. Either when in the Inbox, or with an opened Email. Anyone else encounter this?

Anyone know of a solution to making this work?

On a VERY side note: Here is my 1st initial text, when I believed the problem was about Firefox Add-Ons (I now have discovered it's not about the Add-Ons, it's the about the Reader View function). << When double-clicking on an Email, on the Outlook web site (https://outlook.office.com/mail/), the Email opens in a new window. When the new Window is opened, doesn't work.

When I click on Firefox's "Enhanced Tracking Protection" Icon and disable it, then the Extensions work. What's even weirder, is the behavior is the same for the REVERSE (if the Enhanced Protection is Disabled, the Keyboard Shortcut doesn't work until I "ENABLE" the Enhanced Protection).

Is there a setting in about:config that can return the functionality of Add-Ons (Extensions)?

On a side note, I found a setting to force the New Emails to Open in a new Tab instead of a new Window. The same bevaior is replicated, No improvement has been shown on that front. browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction = 0 >>

So, I've seen many apps that looked like they'd be helpful one way or another. (The latest was Malware Browser Guard.) When I click to install them, I'm warned that I'll be allowing the app to read what I enter, change things, etc. When I read more it sounds more reasonable -- it sounds like that at each step I'll be asked if I give permission for the app to read or edit -- the implication being read this specific page or edit this particular entry.

So by downloading these apps am I giving blanket authority to them to monitor my every click and keystroke or am I only telling the browser that I might want them to be able to do these things, but I need to be informed first when they are actively seeking to do something so I can decide whether to allow it at that point?

I don't suppose I have any guarantee that any software I use isn't collecting my userids, passwords, sites I visit, email I write, etc. -- but when I'm specifically warned I am authorizing a program to read what I enter, etc. it gives me pause. It's one thing to not know, another to say, no problem, have at it.

I'd like to take advantage of what some of these apps purport to provide. I'm hoping for some reassurance about downloading ones from presumably reputable companies.

Thanks.

Hi - I installed a fresh copy of Firefox. However, when I click on a desktop icon to start a program, I get an error message to "Enable Javascript". I checked the registry, and sure enough, "Enable Javascript" is set to "True". I disabled some extensions that I thought might be causing the problem, but that didn't fix the problem. Anyone out there who had this problem, and fixed it, kindly share your solution with me. Thank you, Nick M.

Hi. I'm trying to send a file for upload but I once I select the file, Firefox simply crashes. I've tried running in "Troubleshooting mode". Go to my website I want to send a file on, click "browse", choose file and... crash to desktop.

Checking the about:crashes page and uploading the crash (that works...) gives the error: STATUS_CALLBACK_RETURNED_LANG

I had issues with Firefox and Mapped Networked Drives in Windows before. So, I thought... save my stuff (no issues...) then reboot windows. Rebooting seems to fix a lot of stuff after all. But not here.

I reconnected my 3 drives (to the same NAS), opened Firefox, which takes a while to show a single page, go to sendspace.com and choose a file to upload from my NAS. Crash.

I disconnect my drives (all 3 of them), try send a file and... succesfully queued for upload.

What the heck? 99.5% of my files are on my NAS!

Here are the status reports to all the crash reports I sent to Mozilla: https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/f90da30b-a25e-46ef-b4f3-c62830230702 https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/89bd85e9-0136-463e-b215-50eac0230702 https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/f568fda8-95e1-47a8-9605-c92b00230702 https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/770ec31d-9c2f-4140-be5b-03d270230702 https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/929b552f-f0f6-4277-892b-7d8fd0230702 https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/05b5b342-2cbe-4f64-a746-4e8400230702 https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/b3f60991-3f92-49a4-8812-2c9d00230702 https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/6eae55d5-a4ae-419d-b97a-55a5d0230702 https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/783ca68e-be22-4893-a55e-070e60230702

A reminder: Troubleshooting mode does NOT fix my issues.

AMD Ryzen 5900X Gigabyte X570 Aorus Master 64GB of DDR4 @ 3600 CL16 2TB Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus Asus XG-C100C 10Gbit Synology DS1821+ (4×10TB with 1 redundancy drive)

Looks Firefox after recent update can not effectively open youtube.com as well as other webpages that contain video and or sound. Sound can not be heard. on youtube cannot completely finish opening the webpage. In complete transition. Hence the web page freeze or shall I say stuck.

Firefox, This website discounttire.com seems to be the only site I cannot load. I tried it another browser and it worked fine. I have also tried clearing the DNS cache, resetting my firewall and turning off all my extensions. I don't remember what else I have tried as I can't remember everything. I am also using FF 114.0.2 and the free Avast antivirus. Please let me know what I can do to try and fix this issue. It's not that big a deal as I can use another browser, it just bothers me when things don't work right and I can't figure out how to fix them. Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Wayne Battey
