Firefox Community Forum

On Aug 23, 2024 I was still able to upload videos to YouTube easily. When I tried again yesterday, all my attempts to upload videos would result in the Upload dialog sticking at 0%, no matter how long I waited. I tried again today and a separate error in which I clicked an option to Delete a 0% uploaded video resulted in approximately 50 of my last youtube uploads being deleted (that's *on* youtube). I tried today with Safari and I had no trouble uploading a video to youtube. Therefore I'm now thinking that there was a recent update to Firefox that is causing this problem.

I'm running Mac OS 10.14.6 and Firefox 115.15.0esr. Before you tell me I should upgrade everything — I'm old — on a fixed income and running older hardware... upgrading is not really an option. Seeing how Firefox was working just a couple of weeks ago for what I needed, is there a way back to a former version?

I used to be able to log in to a website, but lately I get the following message: " Secure Connection Failed An error occurred during a connection to www.connectnetwork.com. PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR Error code: PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified. Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem." If I use another route to reach the website, I can't login due to getting the same message. I have talked to their tech support staff and they say the problem is on my end. I tried reaching the website and logging in from another computer which also uses Firefox and was successful. So, how can I fix my computer so that I can reach the website and log in? Thanks.

I was playing a game on Facebook when the screen froze and then blanked out. Now when I try to access any games, I get the message that 'my browser does not support this feature'. Is this a Facebook problem and is there anything I can do to solve it - there is no point trying to contact Facebook. TIA

Since Monday morning every site times out. My router says I'm connected to the Internet, but my VPN says I'm not. Other devices on the router have no problem, so it's not the cable or my ISP. For 3 days I've been tearing my hair out trying to find something in Settings, to no avail. Help??? Windows 10 (Update Assistant says "latest version") Firefox 129.0.2 Email hidden for privacy reasons

Ever since the last big update, there have been at least 2 dozen videos that I can't load in Firefox that immediately load in Chrome. I've had to start using Chrome (which I really don't like) for all of my classes that are video based because the videos aren't loading in Firefox. Does anyone else have this problem? What can I do to watch videos in Firefox?

I've used Foxfire for a long time, love it! Within last 2 months videos started to not load, or load with no sound. Restart the computer everything works properly. Then after 1 or 2 hours videos would loose sound and slow down. At first I thought might be computer but everything checked out ok. NOW when videos fail to perform in someway, I copy the URL, open Chrome, insert in address bar and videos play as advertised. In fact, I have never had a problem when using Chrome. I've had several Foxfire updates by problem remains. Thinking maybe uninstall Foxfire and re-install?

I am using IANSEO (I@NSEO) to score and post archery competitions to Archery Canada. When exporting the results, several files are created. In order to forward them you tap once on the file(s) to download them to your local computer. Is there some option in Firefox preventing this from happening? It is only the *.exp file that will not download. I am currently using Firefox for Windows version 130.0 (64 bit) desktop.

When I receive an email in Outlook that contains a hyperlink, I am unable to use it. When I click onthe link, Firefox opens a new Window (even when one is already running). The only tab on the new window is my default tab. The original hyperlink does not open. (Windows 11 and Firefox all up to date).

1) It is fine if I use Edge or Chrome as my default browser. 2) I have disabled all add-ons, and restarted (and rebooted) Firefox. Same result.

I have searched the community/known issues atc but none seem to specifically show this sort of behaviour.

When I look in Task Manager > Startup, Firefox isn't there. When I go to Performance > Resource Monitor > Disk, it shows firefox.exe taking the top three lines when sorting by Read (B/sec). It's just grinding my computer and I'm not seeing how it's even starting up after logging into Windows.

How do I find out why firefox.exe is starting with Windows (login?), and how to stop it? I only use it intermittently for certain things. I don't need it running in the background just because I booted up or started Windows.

I have the latest (auto-updating) versions of Windows 10 Pro and Firefox.

Greetings, Firefox requires a huge amount of memory (and other associated resources), and each tab consumes much resources. The resource consumption is a big problem when a few tabs are needed to support research projects. How about spending more time improving the resource utilization as opposed to developing features? The resource utilization of Firefox is poor when compared to other browsers like Brave. However, I like Firefox the best from a features standpoint. So how about it? Please put some effort into making Firefox more resource friendly. One way to get free improvement is to immediately release resources for objects that are orphaned because the associated application has been closed. Lingering resources are a complete waste.

Thanks, Dan

I use Draftsharks.com for Fantasy Football. It has a "Live Sync" feature that connects Draftsharks.com to a Fantasy Football website, such as fantasy.espn.com, to sync information such as rosters, etc. Firefox has no issues with Draftsharks syncing with the website myffpc.com for this info but it will not sync with fantasy.espn.com. At the request of Draftsharks support, I used Chrome to try the same thing, and there were no issues in Chrome connecting Draftsharks to ESPN and performing a live sync. In Firefox settings, I put ESPN in the "Manage Exceptions" area, but it still didn't work when trying to sync Draftsharks with ESPN.

Hello! In the last week or so, I have noticed that Firefox is extremely sluggish on certain websites, mostly Canva and SignWell. Additionally, I am having trouble accessing certain accounts. When I try to log in, the system is unresponsive, or I get an error message. However, when I switch to Chrome, everything works as expected. Please advise.

Thank you! Jill

Firefox automatically updated to 130.0 on opening this morning. Since then, a site I use many hours every day will not display any images that are essential to my research.

Image attached of the blank page I see instead of an image of a 19th century church register. Sample URL: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QS7-L993-ZP26

Images display correctly in a private window and on Chrome; they do not display in troubleshooting mode.
