Firefox Community Forum

The power went out while I was working and when I turned the computer back on, my Firefox account was logged out and I don't know how to get it back , Every time I try to restore the account it gives me the default account. And thanks a lot

I've asked this before. I'd still like to know why I don't remain logged in, but today, this also happened.

How can you have an expired session, when there was no session?

v148, Win 10

The site froze while playing a video. It happened multiple times. Is anyone else reporting this kind of behavior on Instagram. I closed the tab, but cpu stress-like side effects remained for a while.

My virus software [ESET] continues to throw a warning for this site: https://smartadblock.net/febc/check.php, whether in FireFox or not.

The full message is this:

This just started yesterday 3/4/2026

Can someone advise me on this?

Hello,

I am experiencing an issue with Firefox where some websites display a message saying that the internet connection cannot be established and that I am offline, even though I am connected to the internet.

My internet connection is working normally. Other websites load without problems, and the same websites also work correctly in other browsers such as Google Chrome.

However, in Firefox certain sites do not load. For example, YouTube and YouTube Music show an error message indicating that I am offline. I have also noticed this issue on a few other websites.

Because the same pages work normally in other browsers, it seems to be related specifically to Firefox.

Could you please help me understand what might be causing this issue or how I can fix it?

Thank you.

Recently I’ve been unable to play YouTube videos on Firefox: “Video unavailable.”

I’ve tried clearing the cache and cookies, and restarting Firefox in safe mode. I’ve disabled “Use recommended performance settings” and “Use hardware acceleration.” Still no videos.

I’m using a VPN and have several Ff extensions - none of them video related.

The problem seemed to start after the most recent Firefox update. YouTube works fine in Safari.

Thoughts?

Mac mini MacOS Sequoia 15.7.4 Firefox 148.0

I am using Firefox on a W11 64 desktop. Until recently (the most recent upgrade, I think) all worked well. But since then although the relevant box is ticked in settings (aboutpreferences general), on opening Firefox the tabs from the preceding session are NOT restored. This is extremely inconvenient.

Have any others found this same problem? Any work arounds?

when I click a url link from mail it opens a new firefox window instead of a new tab on existing window. I like to keep all tabs in one open firefox window. Firefox crashed last night and lost all of my tabs; I was able to restore but now having issues with email url links opening in a stand-alone new window - HOW do I revert to former option?

I have been looking for any "cast to device" button or setting on and off for a few weeks now and can't seem to find it. Not sure if it's just right out disabled in the browser (because other sites allow me to cast), but YouTube specifically just doesn't have the option anymore. Just wondering if it's something on my end or if it's fixable at all.
