Came here after a response on my google play review.

The problem is exactly as the title describes. Playing videos on various websites, such as Youtube, Vimeo, Twitter and Reddit for example, on firefox mobile (including firefox focus) results in the videos playing back with low fps instead of their native fps.

Refreshing the page the video is on sometimes fixes the issue, than once you pause the video and resume it the problem with the low fps shows up again.

Reinstalling doesn't fix it and downgrading to an older version made the problem occur less, but videos would still sometimes play back with low fps.

If screen recordings help figure out the problem please tell me.

Not sure which is the cause. On multiple laptops and desktops after last Windows 11 update and then an immediate Firefox update, the software protection service of Windows 11 goes into high cpu mode consuming 40-50% of cpu when Firefox is opened. Running Firefox version 122.0 (64-bit) version. Tried in safe mode and still having issue. Just an FYI for developers to look into for next Firefox update.

Hi there.

I like Firefox / Mozilla. However, Chrome wants to be my default and I want to stay with Firefox / Mozilla. When I click on a link in my email or an article with a link, Chrome takes over! It has been happening for about a week or 2, and I don't want it to happen. Do you have any ideas about how I can stop this, please?

Thanks in anticipation, Gerry Austin [email address]

When I switch to Chrome, I am able to access the documents. Any ideas? I'm thinking there is a setting in Firefox I need to change, but not sure which one.

Automating extenstions based on internet download speed

I live in the sticks and get my internet via satellite. Sometimes it's acceptably fast and I can watch a video, not live, but after only a short wait to download it.

I have Tranquility Reader extension, and this is very useful. But whenever possible, I'd like to be able to see images, ads, and whatnot. Is it possible to automatically activate an extension, this extension, when my download speed is less than 10Mbps.

Can this be done currently? If so, how? If not, would you be able to notify me if this feature is ever added or something similar.

Thank you, Charles Smith Murphy, NC

I have a local server where I host several apps (URLs such as http://192.168.0.101/). I've noticed that Firefox will not offer to autocomplete text boxes and forms on local pages.

I have the "Firefox will Remember history" option enabled, and autofill works elsewhere as expected.

I have web page that I am printing using different browsers. I have html elements that I have positioned relative and top for each printing page. so that they appear on specific location of print pages.

The positioned elements are just fine in chrome and safari. However in firefox the positioned element is displaying on first page and on second page it is getting hidden (need to add z-index value to show). From third page it is dragging whole content down upto the top position given to element.

Do we have any alternative workaround to position relative elements and top, This is the only issue with firefox.


Thanks.

Relatively clean install of Windows 11 (~<2 months), clean install of Firefox (~<2 weeks) after experiencing crashes in a different Chromium-based browser. Was running 4x48GB mem sticks but reduced to two for troubleshooting purposes, ran memtest in its entirety with zero failures. Not able to reproduce crashes in benchmarking software.

Consistently crashing throughout the day, sometimes back to back.

Midjourney website and also canva was working fine until i tried to open both of them today using firefox, but midjoueny froze and kept making firefox showing not responding and then unfreeze and then freeze and so on, Also canva -as shown in the screenshots- is not working properly, it's laggy and won't load full pages.

I thought it was the websites' problem until i tried chrome - which i really hate to do- and voila, both of them worked fine, no freezing no lagging and pages are loading properly.

Is there any solution for this, because i really hate to use chrome but i am forced to do so until this problem is fixed :'(
