Firefox Community Forum

I've just switched to Fedora 43 KDE plasma from Windows. On Windows, everything was totally find with videos on Firefox. After migration I kept having an error message "The media playback was aborted due to a corruption problem or because the media used features your browser did not support." not only on one site (else it could have been the site). After searching for solution here and on the Net, I found out that it's not related to Fedora but to Firefox when using Radeon RX7700XT on Linux (idem with several distros). And indeed, when installing other browser and testing them there was no problem, even with LibreWolf. So can you please take action as I like Firefox and I would not like to have to move everything to an other browser. And it seems that this problem has been around for at least two years ... which you should be ashamed of.

I have Firefox installed and pinned to the taskbar. When I click it, it immediately goes to a download Firefox page instead of opening. I then open another tab to get into g mail or anything else. I can then close the download tab and continue. This is most annoying. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling which works but then lost all bookmarks and the answer there was to go to old Firefox and restore, which I did and that worked , however, the download page came with as well and this time in a different more colorful version that is quite long.

if I had 30 bookmarks, there was no problem to sort all by name, if I´ve had 40 bookmarks I must sort it 3 times but then it works. But now I have more than 50 bookmarks and I testet it every update but it dosen´t work, why ?

I manually clear all youtube cookies. I have these youtube exceptions. After going to youtube, then checking "Manage Cookies and Site Data" I still see Firefox saved a youtube cookie.

Thank you

When Firefox updated I only created a default profile and could not or did not import bookmarks. They seem lost now. I was offered to import from other browsers like Edge but did not see any way to import from my previous Firefox version. I am unable to find any automatic backups in bookmarkbackups folder.

For the last couple of days, FF has been signing me out of all social media sites and some other sites that are open in tabs also. I'll go back to the tab, and be signed out when I was signed in 5 minutes ago. Google, FB, Reddit all have this problem and some streaming sites. I had changed my settings to clear all data when it was closed, so I thought that might be it, but I changed it back and restarted FF and the computer and it's still doing it. Haven't tried another browser yet.

As long as my computer doesn't go to sleep Im fine. If it does, when i open firefox, i must refresh to be able to find my bookmarks and passwords. What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance! Micha

While transferring data from the old profile manager system to the new one, I accidentally created one more profile than I needed. I have tried to delete the extra profile on multiple occasions, it won't go away. I have attempted to delete it through the profile management ui, and I went into the files and delete the associated data. On both occasions, the profile remained in the UI. I am unable to edit anything about the profile either. Is there anything I can do to resolve this annoyance?

Both the menu and the taskbar are not available since the latest update a few days ago. I've searched all options in Firefox settings with no luck in finding a solution. Help would be appreciated as this is extremely annoying and working around it wastes a whole lot of time.

Up until a few days ago I was able to preview yahoo mail attachments (e.g. PDFs) before downloading them. I don't know what may have changed, but I don't recall doing anything on my end. Any suggestions or advice on what settings I should consider changing greatly appreciated. M

I’ve encountered a problem with Firefox that it fills up the RAM memory to the brim (12Gb) and especially when you’re on Facebook, it doesn’t empty the RAM memory but the data remains, you have to close Firefox and lose your web page, it just fills up, Why, should it be like this, very annoying!!!? :flushed_face: //A-B/Sweden

While watching netflix, I randomly get error code F7361-1253 which prevents the video from playing. Can happen at any random time while watching. I have had firefox for years and have only got this issue in the past few months. It does not happen on other browsers like chrome.

I have tried disabling all extensions and troubleshoot mode, doesn't fix it. I didn't change any firefox settings since this started happening. DRM is enabled, widevine is the latest version, so is firefox, fully updated. I am using Windows 11 Home, 10.0.22631 Build 22631

These are the warnings I got in the console as soon as the netflix error pops up:

Cannot play media. No decoders for requested formats: audio/mp4; codecs="mp4a.40.42" 81036307

I have ffmpeg on my system and haven't touched it in a while.

When I wake up Firefox from sleep overnight, it is unresponsive until I force quit. I am on v147.0.4 on my M4 Mac Mini. It doesn't happen in shorter sleep periods. I can click something in it and then when I switch to another app, it responds. But the browser on normal interactions won't respond at all.

after my laptop crashed (again did so over 100 times) but this time all history is gone, could not restore last session/s - can't log into my accounts (any) - can't set it to an earlier date (e.g. yesterday) to eliminate whatever the problem is (am not an IT expert, so I don't know how - just know that it is possible) - I have tried for 4 hours - no avail - I really need the status of 4-5 hours ago so I don't lose so much
