Firefox Community Forum

I am using Version 128.8.0esr (64-bit)

If I go to youtube and select to try to play a video by "open in new tab", the video will not play unless I continuously press "k". Same result if it is a new window, includong private window.

If I click play directly, it plays.

Go to youtube and search for (eg) Hotel California. Try playing the Eagles' video in a new tab and it won't play unless the K key is held down. Go back to the original search results page and click play on the video and it plays.

This behaviour is new :(

PLEASE TELL ME WHY THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING TO ME FOR THE PAST MANY WEEKS!! HELP'

In my Task Manager, it shows 19 Firefox apps open?? I only have to Tabs open.

Thanks, I really would appreciate your HELP !!

While watching a video in full screen mode, the screen periodically darkens for 2-3 seconds, after which the video continues, during the darkening the video stops and there is no sound

I'm getting so fed up with parts of ebay not working after automatic Firefox updates. Every few months and usually on a Friday morning (this is when Ebay does it weekly tech maintenance) and after a recent Firefox update, something packs the job in on Ebay!. This time it's the listings, ALL of them!. My watchlist page is working fine, I can scroll down and everything is loading, photo's, text etc but, I go to search for an item and it's all over the place, not loading, filter buttons have a mind of their own, slow or non existent listings and filter side bar etc, etc. When I exit Ebay, Firefox won't reload. I have to wait for it to get itself back together, usually a few minutes later. Yet on other browsers it's running fine. I've done everything! (I've had a lot of experience with this issue) I've disabled enhanced tracking, cleared cache etc, uninstalled Ebay and Firefox and re-installed them. It works fine on ipad, phone and other browsers just not Firefox desktop! WHAT IS THE PROBLEM??? AND WHY SO @@@@@@@ OFTEN!!! I really can't take it any more. for over 15 years I've been fighting with this, I'm tired! PLEASE!!! SOMEONE AT FIREFOX, HELP!!! AT THE VERY LEAST, TALK TO EBAY AND SORT THIS OUT, FOR EVERYONE'S SAKE!

Thought only Ubuntu's Linux Firefox 136.0 was 'unstable' on my Gateway E-475M laptop - crashes, restores session then freezes only to log me out, then completely locking up requiring holding down power button and rebooting...

Now, even Firefox 136.0 on WIN7 is crashing, then restores session only to go to the 'blue screen of death' requiring holding down the power button and rebooting...

Evidently, the problem is not with Ubuntu or WIN7, but either: Firefox (Linux or win version); or, the Gateway E-475M laptop (2.0GHz CPU, 4Gb RAM, 8Gb swapfile, Harddrive at 61% usage, Linux/Win on separate booting partitions, LAN + usb & pci wifi's, etc.) - both OS's used to work fine, but as upgrades to Firefox have come along, they have steadily gotten more and more unstable...

Sometime, I'm only making a bookmark, and it starts this circus act... does it on differing websites, etc. Firefox is the only thing loaded - using two windows on two different monitors ...at a loss as to what to do - Firefox is supposed to be THE lightest-weight browser out there, and was for awhile... the only extension used on both systems is "NoScript" - could that be causing the disturbance in the force?!?

i type in something in the text field, i click somewhere and go back to the previous page where i was typing and everything is reset. why? chrome and opera dont do that.

Since last month, I'm periodically experiencing problems with AOL's homepage (with its scrolling news articles) not loading properly on my screen, with all links - including the email link - scrunched over to the left hand side of the page and no images appearing at all. I do seem to be able to see all information properly if I switch to MICROSOFT EDGE as the browser, but FIREFOX is - and always has been - my default browser and never had this problem until recently.

After updating my Apple operating system to Soia equoia 15.3.2 Firefox will not open in any other accounts other than the administrators. A prompt appears stating Firefox is trying to install a new helper tool. When myself as administrator logs in to install it, it will not do anything and the application does not open. Firefox does work fine when I have my administrator account logged into. Firefox has never had a problem on this computer until the update to 15.3.2 occurred.

I am trying to connect to a web page but keep getting the following message:-

An error occurred during a connection to WWW.castlewater.co.uk. Peer's certificate has been revoked.

I CAN connect via the Edge browser?

Do I need to change a setting?
