Firefox unable to use Nvidia dGPU on Optimus setup with AMD dGPU

Hi all,

I have a Acer Nitro 5 AN515-44 with a AMD Renoir iGPU and a Nvidia GTX 1650 dGPU. I am using Fedora 38 and Wayland, with latest Nvidia drivers from RPM Fusion (currently version 535.98). The about:support page shows Renoir as GPU #1 (active), and GPU #2 is inactive. If I launch Firefox with __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1, Firefox is unable to render its windows, showing only the frames (as if the windows were transparent). The same happens if I try to launch Firefox using GNOME's "Launch using discrete graphics card" option.

Is it possible to enable Nvidia GPU on this setup?

Subject: Issue with Video Playback on Firefox

Dear Support Team,

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to report a recurring issue I have been facing with video playback on Firefox while using WhatsApp Web. Whenever I attempt to play received videos on WhatsApp Web through Firefox, I encounter an error message stating "The video cannot be played." I have attempted various troubleshooting steps to resolve this issue, but unfortunately, it persists.

Here is a summary of the troubleshooting steps I have taken:

Ensured that I am using the latest version of Firefox. Confirmed that media playback technologies like HTML5 are enabled in Firefox. Disabled all browser extensions and add-ons to rule out conflicts. Checked and adjusted browser video playback settings. Cleared browser cache and data. Despite these efforts, the problem persists, and I am unable to play WhatsApp Web videos on Firefox. This issue is particularly inconvenient, and I rely on WhatsApp Web for communication.

I kindly request your assistance in resolving this matter as soon as possible. If there are any specific Firefox or WhatsApp Web settings that need to be adjusted or if there is any additional information you require from me, please do not hesitate to let me know. I am eager to have this issue resolved and appreciate your prompt attention to it.

Thank you for your assistance.

Sincerely, Reza

I want to add a button to my new stream deck which will open this small window, with the specific url. How could I try to do that on Windows 10?

I assume it's some kind of a command like "c:\program files\firefox\firefox.exe -popup URL", but the answers I get from GPT like that only open the home page in a main window

Firefox not opening links sent from Outlook

Starting today, Sep 1, 2023, any link I click on in Outlook for Mac version 16.76.2 (23082700) starts Firefox 117.0 but will NOT open a tab with the page that the link has sent to it. All it does is start Firefox with a New Tab and nothing else happens. This is happening from emails from all different senders. The only way currently I can get an email link to work is to start Firefox first, then click on the link in the email message which will then open the website. THIS IS VERY ANNOYING! This has never happened since I've been using Outlook for Mac since 2017. I've included a screenshot example of the link in the email that Firefox should be following but doesn't.

3. I also got Thunderbird and am planning on creating a new email address. I will then be phasing out my current email app si=o my Firefox and Thunderbird logins will be changing. Will there be any issues with that?

4. I'm used to Edge and Chrome and am a little confused. I don't see anything indicating I have completed a page, like Submit or an arrow, and can move on when setting up my 2 apps. Are the setups saved if I just leave the page?

Thank you very much. I am looking forward to my new Mozilla product experiences.

I have both personal and business account with Truist bank. Until recently, I never had problems accessing both accounts. The login URL is https://dias.bank.truist.com

Weeks ago, I started to have problem with the business account using Firefox 117.0 64-bit Windows 10. I can still login. But the page is stuck in loading. Strange thing is, my personal account works just fine.

My business account works fine in Microsoft Edge and the Truist phone app.

I tried Firefox troubleshooting mode. Results are the same. I don't have any add-on installed. I played around different privacy and security settings, but couldn't resolve the problem.

Anybody can help? Thanks.

I am using an outside application (1) that starts another application (2) on my computer. I already have the admin console for (2) open in Firefox. When I activate the application from (1), it sends a command to open up another tab with the exact same URL in Firefox. Its really more of a nuisance than anything, but I would like to make Firefox just defer to the existing tab since the URLs are the same. Not sure if this is possible, but it would be great if it was.

Thanks!

Hello, Just recently I've noticed when I navigate to a site that I have been going to for years, my mac trackpad no longer works for scrolling (nor the arrow keys, basically I cannot scroll at all). Sometimes, it is on a pop-up, but not all sites I'm having trouble with have pop-ups. I have not downloaded any new add-ons or added any security measures or anything like that, but I did recently complete a firefox update. I've done the usual clear cookies, shut down-restart that I use when all else fails to no avail. Any ideas?

I was experiencing this issue on my intel mac, but I've just upgraded and it also appears to be an issue on the replacement with an m2 chip.

I'll be using Firefox, when all of a sudden it locks up. Usually I think this could be an internet connectivity issue, but checking in a second browser shows I have connectivity. The next thing I try is to re-launch Firefox, where I am told that Finder cannot launch Firefox. Looking at the .app file in applications reveals the file is now 0 bytes large. I then download a fresh copy of Firefox and I'm back in business. I've noted this is appears to occur right after a patch is released.

I can't say I've noticed the same issue on my personal mac, although I tend to turn that off more regularly.

Hi,

to get rid of old remains in my very firefox portable installation, I decided to install FF from scratch. After the installation, I installed some add-ons + imported settings for umatrix and ublock origin + imported my backuped bookmarks. Now, I was checking the cookies settings, because I want to have most of them deleted after closing ff. I realized, that there are cookies from sites, which I didn't visit since the new installation. And no, I don't think that these are third party cookies, which were set during the visit of other sites, because those sites are for sure don't interact with other sites for merchandising reasons etc. The sites are also not to be found in the "History". I just installed FF three days ago. I'll deactivate the "history", too.

Does anybody has a clue how it come, that I have such cookies in my list?

Many thanks
