Firefox Community Forum

Links from the Autohotkey forum suddenly do not open properly. This may have started with my recent upgrade to FF 133.0.3.

Here is sample link:

https://www.autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=134961&e=1&view=unread#unread

If I open this link normally (which, for me, means in a new tab) I am sent to Captcha screen, and upon answering it, then appears only a text outline (not the CSS code) of the page. If I open IN NEW PRIVATE WINDOW, I get the captcha screen again and after answering it, the page opens correctly.

(I usually don't get the captcha quiz from Autohotkey forum also, but that may be their doing. I also can state the captcha screen is not because cookies have been erased. I keep most all cookies.) Firfefox.)

After a recent update to Firefox 133.0.3 (on Ubuntu GNU/Linux 22.04), Firefox is having difficulty connecting to websites and exhibiting some other odd behavior:

- After initially starting Firefox, it will load websites (e.g., previously open tabs) for up to 30 seconds. After that, it will not load any website in a new tab, showing the loading animation for several seconds before stopping all activity and just displaying an hourglass icon in the tab. These sites can be connected to in other web browsers. - After closing Firefox, its process is still running; I have to manually find its pid and kill it. - If I start Firefox from the terminal, I see these messages when it starts having trouble loading websites:

libva info: VA-API version 1.20.0 libva info: Trying to open /snap/firefox/5437/gnome-platform/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/iHD_drv_video.so libva info: Found init function __vaDriverInit_1_20 libva info: va_openDriver() returns 0

I uploaded to the latest version of Firefox, and now not a single streaming service will work on my computer. Each states its a problem with the browser. Please assist

I have the same problem as this thread "https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1466152" that user could work around it with disabling some cokie in privacy badger, that did not work for me. Ive removed that extention all together and the problem is still there. Here is one example of site i cant access... https://www.reddit.com/r/movies/comments/1hh25h9/death_of_a_unicorn_official_trailer_a24/

For a few days, for unknown reasons I have been unable to access my blog..."Kitchen Connection". This has never occurred before, and it is very annoying. I have been blogging for many years.

Your assistance in this matter would be appreciated. Thank you in anticipation.

I've tried submitting the above a few times...and for whatever reason, it has not gone through to you, it would appear.

I use FF on desktop. Recently, I've run into a problem. My desktop browser will not load any pages... except Youtube. Youtube loads just fine, I can open a video or browse channels or community pages normally. I have fully reset my browser, reinstalled it, and disabled extensions. Other browsers on my PC will work normally. I have very few extensions: Sponsorblock for Youtube, uBlock Origin, and Facebook Container, that's it. I am not using a proxy or VPN. Troubleshoot mode did not fix the issue. I'm not the most tech savvy, so I apologize if I missed anything here.

Any insight is appreciated. Thanks!

Hello

For a while I have been selecting wall street journal articles and then clicking "listen".

A few weeks ago this stopped working on one computer a fairly new Lenovo running Windows 11. Currently running firefox 133.0.3. When I click "listen" on any article, nothing happens. Clicking "listen" on another Windows-11 computer on the same article does work, so apparently something is wrong with the settings on this one computer. Any suggestions please?

thanks

I just set up a Rakuten account which alllows me to buy things on line. Mozilla-Firefox won't let me buy through this website (i.e., the Rakuten website). How do I get Firefox to allow me to do what I want. I have no idea which version of Firefox I'm using. I'm assuming that its fairly recent.

Per this thread I have been able to determine that there is some misconfiguration surrounding my Firefox profile that is causing Google services not to load. When typing a Google URL into the address bar, upon striking the return key, nothing happens. Additionally embedded YouTube videos do not load on any site, further ruling out connection issues and isolating the issue to have to do with Google services.

How can I repair my existing Mozilla profile so that I can resume accessing Google services?

Please keep in mind that I understand that the issue is with my profile, but I do not want to scrap that profile which I use to sync settings across several devices.

Thanks in advance, everyone!
