Firefox Support Forum

I've been unable to play twitter videos at all. For videos and audio posts on other sites, there's usually a delay for a couple seconds before it plays. I disabled all my add-ons and it made no difference. If I try to play 2 different things at once, both of them will chug if play at all.

Does anyone know what the cause might be? I tested videos and audio in another browser and they work fine.

In reader view mode the page https://www.cla.co.uk/what-is-copyright loses all the text of the What is copyright? section. I could not not find any documentation about the criteria for content being included in reader view mode or obvious place to report it for it to be fixed, so here I am.

Firefox / ExpressVPN ISSUE (21st Oct 2022)

My desktop computer's operating system is Windows 7 Ultimate with Microsoft Extended Software Updates (ESU). 1. The office software is Microsoft Office 2010, from which I use Outlook 2010 to send and receive emails. 2. The only browser that I use is Firefox. 3. With Express VPN to mask my IP address (Firefox browser extension for expressVPN enabled) 4. And my internet package provided by Avast Premium Security. Up until about a month ago, these 4 packages ran sweetly in the background protecting my computer from all devious activity. Then on return from a short break, I noticed that every time I switched on my computer and activated expressVPN, I could not access the internet or send/ receive any emails. I pay a yearly subscription to Avast Premium Care which offers a superb 24/7 service, where they can remotely connect to my computer and repair it whilst talking with me on the phone. Using their help, I quickly discovered that when Avast software was enabled when Firefox was running, I could access the internet and send emails. But when expressVPN was also running, I could not get internet access or send/ receive emails. Then it was by a process of elimination I proceeded to try and discover which package might be the culprit. With both Avast and expressVPN disconnected, Firefox works perfectly! But with Avast still disconnected, I switched on my VPN and instantaneously, the internet was cut off! It was then that I contacted expressVPN technical support for help. We changed every single expressVPN setting possible, to no avail! And considering that all the VPN in essence does is mask my computer's IP address, he concluded that the issue had to lie with a Firefox setting! I then proceeded to check I was running Firefox latest software, deleted all browser history and cache and changed the network settings to no proxy - to no avail! In desperation, I turn to your technical team to resolve this issue for me, as I have no idea what has happened!!! This system has worked for years without a hiccup. Now I'm at my wit's end and need my computer running flawlessly to continue my business work as a matter of the utmost urgency!

Don't mean to complain about such a trivial thing, but on macOS the new icon for Firefox as of 106 just doesn't look right. It was PERFECT before this. Yes, I know I can copy and paste the old one into the new and it's problem solved, but figured I'd post here to see what everyone else thinks. Again, it's not the end of the world, but it just doesn't look right.

Firefox (on a MacBook Pro, OS 10.14.5) rapidly stopped working today. First, one open page stopped updating (webmail), but others (e.g., weather) still worked. Soon, progressively, nothing worked, and it wouldn't open new pages, links, or bookmarks. I downloaded a new version, 106.0.1, but that dmg file wouldn't open: "no such file or directory" (despite ostensibly containing 135 MB). Yet that version seems to be what's running now. I don't know how recently my Firefox got updated; possibly an update is the problem, but why newly today is unclear. I'm now using Safari, since Firefox is kaput.

Hi!

I hardly use tabs, and I have a widescreen notebook. So one of the most important features a browser must have is not to waste vertical space.

Unfortunately, Firefefox still has always tab bar open even if there is only one tab.

There was a css code to overcome this problem. Unfortunately, it does not work with FF 106 anymore (another one stopped working with 103). It always shows a "+" sign and uses vertical space.

1. ) How can I get rid of the tab bar? Is there a working css code or is it a feature now of FF? 2.) BTW, also one of the most important addons for me "I don't care about cookies" is not working anymore 3.) How can I fully stop updates? They are causing far too many problems 4.) I already know that css and addons are not officially supported by Mozilla.

Since update 106, there is a new dock icon for Firefox on MacOS tailored for Big Sur an above. I'm still using Mojave for 32bit apps, and it doesn't look as good. Can we have an option to revert back to the old dock icon?

Firefox not registering the "SUBMIT" button at bottom of the page to "submit" an application for student loan partial debt relief. Click on it and it never submits, even though the form is completed and no omissions are noted. Instantly works just fine on CHROME. My peers noted same issue. Changing back to Chrome due to this. Site is https://studentaid.gov/debt-relief/application

Secure Connection Failed message when I try to go to known sites and when I access them in Chrome I have no issues I have already done the refresh and still have the issue. I doubt that this is an issue with the website I am trying to access. If you can't help me get this resolved it may be time to end my long time as a Firefox fan.

I set my browser theme to a customized green theme I made myself with firefox color, then I decided I wanted something different and installed a new theme from the addons page. It works until I close firefox, but if I open it again it changes back to the custom one I made? I can't find any settings that fix this and i don't want to delete the custom themes I made just to be able to use one of the addon themes I have saved.

I recently added the Firefox Private Browsing feature and I believe I made a mistake. Since then my computer often slows to a crawl and I have to restart it to get it to function normally. I wish to delete the Firefox Private Browsing feature to end any burden it may be on my computer. I do mean delete and not disable.

How can I remove the Firefox Private Browsing feature?

Hello, I just installed the latest version of Firerfox & I don't like it. The top of the screen now takes up more space than before, needlessly, imo. How can I undo this version & return to the one I had ?

when i go to a site that has a saved password it pops up that save password.

so if someone else happens to use this computer and goes to the site it will show them the password.

also going to any other site that has a saved password.

Long ago, I would use Tab-Mix Plus but that functionality went away around FF57.

For most cases since then, Cntl-Shift-T works well.

But I found a use case where Cntl-Shift-T does not work. If one has an active form in progress in given tab, then opens another link on top of that, then closes the tab with Cntl-W or equivalent, then after the CS-T the form progress from the overlaid url is lost.

I use Cntl-W so freely that I can miss that I have accidentally closed tabs that I normally like to keep open. I sometimes don't notice till much later, too long for easy CS-T and I have to recreate from other resources. I have already removed the X-close buttons per tab.

Tab-Mix Plus would just prevent closing of protected tabs all-together and prevent both of these issues.

I have my own webapp framework, and my primary way to workaround this is use target=_blank liberally on local links. But that is an unnatural process in many ways with extra overhead of creating and destroying tabs rather that simply redirecting the current one.

Maybe there's another way around all of this?
