Dear Firefox Support,

I am experiencing an issue with YouTube and some other websites not loading properly in Firefox. The sites continuously try to load but never fully display. I've attached a video link demonstrating the problem for reference: Video Link Video Link.

Could you please look into this issue? I’ve tried clearing the cache and disabling extensions, but the problem persists.

Thank you for your support.

Best regards,

Hi,

I have an odd problem with a friend's Firefox and Thunderbird on Windows. The font changed to white in the address bar, the tab titles, some content on websites, some elements of the settings etc.

From what I can see there is no difference to my settings under "Language and Appearance". When I create a new profile either with the profile manager in Firefox or by renaming "%appdata"\Mozilla Firefox", nothing changes. So I can rule out a custom userchrome.css or similar in the profile folder. When I switch to "troubleshoot mode" with the old or the new profile, everything looks fine.

It also affects Thunderbird, but no other programms.

I can't figure out, where the problem lies.

Suddenly getting endless warnings from Mozilla/Firefox (with McAfee-like logo) warning of major virus contamination of laptop. "Click to delete immediately" has no effect. Suggestion to run McAfee scan show 5 major problems but McAfee profile says account paid thru August and no breaches in last four years. Says too soon to renew. How can I clear the problem if there really is one? D.

My email was hacked in a data breach decades ago but I am now getting more serious problems: I and my friends on my contact list are getting spam emails from me. So they are actually using my email account to send them and therefore I cannot block them.

Also, I have noticed that I am not getting emails from my bank and energy company who say that they have been delivered. However I have not received them.

Is there a way to stop this? Someone suggested setting up an alias email account linked to my email. Would this work? I have tried a full scan but cannot find anything suspicious on my laptop or phone.

Does anyone know how I can sort this problem out?

I tried to open my Firefox browser, but was unable to. Same thing with my Google chrome browser. I ran the troubleshooter for network problems, but unable to get a solution.

I downloaded a new Firefox browser in the hopes that it would let me access the other browser so I could retrieve all the settings, bookmarks, etc. However, everything disappeared when the new browser was installing.

Is there any way for me to retrieve that information or is it a total loss?

HELP !!! I received an error notification "platform not compatible" . I reinstalled browser as recommended I lost all history , bookmarks and passwords. How can I recover lost information ?????? Please Help !!

I received a Mozilla Firefox (64) update notice going for version 132. When it didn't complete, I checked that my version is Firefox ESR115 (115.17.0), which operates with Windows 7-8.1. I have Windows 10, which matches with your version 132. So my question is how do I change/update my Firefox over to match up with Windows 10 and the Version 132 update?

YouTube is not playing videos on my Firefox browser. When I click on the link to a video, it leads me to the page, but the video player stays blank and nothing plays (see attached screenshot). Troubleshooting methods I've tried to no avail:

   refreshing the page

   restarting the computer

   opening a new window and trying again

   updating my graphics card drivers

   disabling all extensions/add-ons

The site works on my mobile app, and other browsers (chrome and internet explorer), but I don't want to use either of those options for obvious reasons. Is anyone else having this problem? It's been happening for a few days. Any help would be much appreciated!

Hi, i wanted to see a Movie on WOW TV but only have a blank Window in my Browser. This Problem is only with WOW TV. Amazon Prime and Netflix Stream works perfect. The Support from WOW TV has no solution for me. They only have one hint for me to use Chrome or Edge.

I am on Windows 10 Pro 22H2 19045.5011, using Firefox 132 (64-bit), not running Kaspersky, I do have AdGuard (7.19.0 (4853) (CL 1.16.44, DL 2.5.41 )) and Malwarebytes (4.6.17.334) on my system along with their browser adons. I have attached some screenshots, hope they are useful.

Please help.

I have an overactive spam folder. I have added numerous websites/emails to my contact list several times and these senders are still sent to the spam folder. I have to check spam and inbox folders for my legit emails. I have used FF for years and not had this problem! It is making me want to change my settings and forget FireFox!

When I logged into my laptop on 9th November Firefox had closed. This happens sometimes, I'm often not sure why, but this time the previous session didn't automatically repopulate when I restarted. I navigated to the history options with the idea of retoring the previous session - either using that functionality or individually opening previous windows - but history was blank and the previous windows option was greyed out. Following suggestions online I've looked for .bak or .json or similar files to use as restore points but there's nothing since much earlier in the year up to 8th November, which are pretty much empty, and the 9th.

I'd be very grateful for any suggestions!

I need to prevent the spacebar from scrolling while I am in Firefox. It drives me demented! Every time I lean forward to concentrate, my clothes accidentally brush the spacebar and it sets off a superfast scroll, which gives me a severe shock and loses my place. Help me deactivate that function please. Surely, it must be optional?

In case you're wondering, yes, I do push the keyboard away when I read, but then I bring it forward to take a note in a Word document, and by that time I am so absorbed I don't notice whether or not I've pushed it away again. I have tried to create the habit but can only do it when I start to read, and never when I return to read. The shock and discombolulation physically hurts. Help, please!
