Firefox Community Forum

After a Windows 11 update, every time I play some video/sound and stop the playback, my whole computer audio doesn't work anymore. When I reset my computer, the audio comes back again. I tried using other browsers (Edge, Chrome, etc.) and other programs/applications, but this only happens in Firefox.

Any ideas on what can I do to solve this issue?

Basic information:

Firefox version: 133.0.3 (64-bits) Operation System: Microsoft Windows 11 Home Single Language OS Version: 10.0.26100 Compilation 26100 Computer Brand: Alienware m16 R2 Sound drivers: Realtek Semiconductor Corp. version 6.0.9738.1

Dear Jim,

I needed to go to sleep at 3am last night to rise for a 12 noon Christmas day dinner. So I am back now.

I have not been able to drag a picture into the text of an email message.

I mark the point of insert with the cursor, go to Insert menu, select the attach picture, and it ends up at the top of the email outside my message. When I try to drag the picture into the text area, a mat covers the text area instructing to insert it here. When I release it on the hotspot, the matted area goes blank and I receive a menu message "The following files couldn't be attached: "filename.jpg". Please try again later."

I seem to be doing everything correctly. I was able to do this some time in the past.

I am wondering if the problem has to do with a memory cache problem. Do I have too many 2000 blocked emails. Maybe a security problem not allowing the attachment?

For about 2 weeks now, the audio volume on youtube videos fluctuates up and down. The volume starts off low when a person starts to talk. For example, when the person in the video starts to talk, their voice volume is very low then within a second or two, the volume rises to normal as they talk. When they finish a sentence and start a new one (when there is a short pause in the audio) their voice is again at a very low volume, rising to normal in a second or two. This repeats as they speak throughout the entire video. This is not specific to any youtube video or youtube channel, it happens on all youtube videos. I have tried updating all audio drivers in Windows 11 - no improvement. I have tried rebooting the computer - no improvement Firefox is up to date, version 133.0 I have tried watching the same videos using Chrome and I do not have this problem.

I got this new Chromebook, and now I'm having issues using YouTube. When I select a video to watch, a message pops up at the top saying "To play video, you may need to install the required video codecs." I am able to watch the video I selected anyhow, with some minor issues with the picture and its frames I believe, however, when I try to watch a different video, it does not work. Sometimes it will play for a short bit, but will then stop, and start buffering. When I then refresh the page, the video will not play and will only buffer. I am not sure what to do, and if this is an issue with the browser, or the device itself, please help?

brak dźwięków w odtwarzanych filmach i reklamach w stronie facebook. sprawdzone ustawienia mixer dźwięku ustawiony firefox-max ,laptop ustawione max, przeglądarka zainstalowana na nowo. w serwisie you tube dźwięk jest dostępny wszystko ok. w innym starym urządzeniu wszystko ok.

Hi! i opened youtube to watch some videos, but the audio wouldn't play. i checked the volume mixer and firefox isn't putting out any sound at all. I tried playing audio on other sites like netflix and tiktok, but the issue is the same there. it doesn't seem like firefox is registering that any audio is playing, as the little speaker icon does not show up when i hover over the tab. i thought it might have been an issue with my headset but the speakers won't play any sound either. i've tried running firefox in troubleshoot mode but that didn't do anything (i don't really know what to do in that mode, but hey, i figured i'd at least try) Also, i opened the same sites in microsoft edge, and they play the audio just fine. I'd rather not have to use edge for too long though, so any help is appreciated :)

First of all I'm doing my testing in:

AMD Ryzen 7 7730u Windows 11 24H2 Firefox 133.0.3 Haylou GT1 Pro Bluetooth earbuds

I'm using jellyfin on web. And I listen to music on it, the problem I'm facing is... The moment I disconnect and reconnect my earbuds, the audio stops, the tab says "PLAYING" but no audio is played, I can press pause and play an infinite number of times but does not work UNTIL I reload the tab, then the audio comes back. Wouldn't be a big deal except for the fact everytime I have to reload, jellyfin does not save the current playlist so I have to create it again.

I tested this on the latest version of Microsoft Edge and it works with no problem there, I disconnect earbuds, audio stops, reconnect them and audio resumes, without even having to press play. The problem is something with firefox and the way it selects audio devices I guess?

I send a screenshot of firefox with the tab "PLAYING" but not actually doing it, and I send a logging file that I created using about:logging and the preset "Media playback", starting when I play media, disconnect bluetooth device, reconnect and can't hear anything

If you need more info, please tell me. Greetings!

If if I'm watching a video on a site like Youtube or facebook, when I scroll away, a small window of it automatically opens in the lower corner of my screen. How can I stop this. When I scroll away I d like it to just stop the video.

I'm facing an issue where videos on various websites do not load properly when I'm using Mozilla VPN. The issue is happening on platforms like YouTube and streaming services. The videos either don’t start, or they buffer endlessly, even though the internet connection is stable. This issue only happens when the VPN is turned on, and the videos work fine when the VPN is off.

I’ve tried troubleshooting by disabling the VPN and clearing my browser cache, but the problem persists.

Could anyone provide a solution or explain why this is happening? Any help is appreciated!

Hi,

I installed Debian 12 on my laptop. I'm using Firefox 133.0.3 from Flatpak. When the browser is in full screen and I display a video in full screen mode, strangely, the video is not in full screen... It's on the top left corner and the rest of the page is in violet. I tested on different site, loading a local video and the issue is the same. I can't reproduce the issue on my desktop computer on Windows. When the browser is not in full screen (F11) and I put the video in full screen mode, there is no issue... I attached a screenshot of the situation.

Have you ever encountered this kind of issue? How to resolve it?

Thanks

Good morning, after today's FF update - right click dropdown menus are terrible! Nothing works for me... Opening new windows, new tabs, adding to bookmarks, copying, pasting, etc... How can I turn it off because I can't use it. I need to have a menu like in version 133.0.3. If I can't change it, I will have to change the browser because I can't use it! Thanks for your answer and best regards! Arthur
