Firefox Support Forum

I'm currently using nightly and, while videos with audio are muted by media.autoplay.ask-permission, and further they are paused if you also set allow-muted to false, the problem is that they still load.

On a metered [or slow] connection, this is a big problem.

Viewing a news article on ABC [for example] pre-loads the entire video in the background.

To make matters worse; Even after the entire video has been cached, a steady stream of 200KB/s is still continually streamed from the CDN.

Example link: https://abcnews.go.com/US/noreaster-season-east-coast/story?id=58738494

If you monitor bandwidth with Firefox's network monitor, or a 3rd party tool [like jnettop for Linux], you'll see that the page continues to load video data.

Not only would I expect it to not load any if playback is disabled, but it certainly shouldn't continue to load data, perpetually, after the entire video has been buffered.

I am a web application developer. My application is using open authentication. As part of the login process the application stores information in the session storage of the browser. Then the user is redirected to a login page. When, after a successful login, the user is redirected back, the information in the session storage is gone. The same problem when I use local storage.

This problem only occurs with the setting: Never remember history.

Is this a bug or a feature?

Other browsers do not have this behavior.

I can't use the print button (on adress line or in pdf viewer) as the "shrink to fit size" always revert to 30%. I if change it and print from the print preview it still goes back to 30% next time. Have even tried deleting all "print." and "print_" setting from the "prefs.js" file. Still no change. Where is the default "shrink to fit" size store so I can change it manually?

These results are in Task Manager when all 3 browsers are on on the same page:

Thank you.

This problem started with the last update (I think). I am currently running version 64.0b5 (64-bit). I try to connect to www.foxnews.comand I get a timeout. The display is:

Secure Connection Failed The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.

   The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
   Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem.

Down at the bottom of the page it says "Performing a TLS handshake to www.foxnews.com" and it never connects.

All problems in %APPDATA% config files. I think, that problems in "pref.js". I tried to do all thing, but helps only when I start clean Firefox(w/ addons and settings)

I've bought the new PC and want transfer my settings, bookmarks and tabs on new PC. I've installed firefox, conected to my account and tried to sync. But it isn't work, I havn't seen my bookmarks and tabs.

I have checked one website to check if there is an Problem, and there was it. Why is this site TRUSTED? may I know it?

here is a tested site link of it : https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=neis.go.kr

I have a number of installed extensions but can't find a way to see what permissions I granted them on install.

Also, if I update them and their requested permission changed, do I get notified? It's not very clear.

(I don't remember what they requested at the time of install, and my understanding of what those permissions mean has changed drastically since then.)

I have no idea what's going on. I have the latest Firefox Developer Edition English x64 and every website I try to connect to, Google, Bing, etc. give me this insecure connection error. I also have Chrome, Vivaldi, Edge & Opera browser and none of them give me issues like this.

I want vertical tabs on the right and vertical bookmarks on the left ALL THE TIME. LEFT and RIGHT are important here, and should not be disregarded. It was perfect back in firefox 4x, but then something happened. I have something like 700 bookmarks, and it takes forever for them to load from the 'bookmarks' button. I export them to html, which file I use as a home page, but the vertical list on the left is better.

Problem:
Cannot access passwords protected by master password.

Normal mode symptoms:
- No master password is ever asked
-- Trying to set one is futile (see screenshot)
- Certificate is at status "Ready" instead of "Logged In" or "not Logged In" (see screenshot)
- No fields are filled with usernames and passwords when needed.
-- No prompt for it is shown either

Background:
I transitioned from windows to linux
I made a full copy of all my profile when transitioning.
I controlled firefox's version to make sure I would transition using the same version number.
I have backups.
Nothing appears in the browser's console when I start or when I try to change master password.
If I try to view the passwords I have, however... ~120 messages appear telling it cannot decrypt (see screenshot)

Tried:
1-Safe-mode:
-- The master password system works as it is supposed to. I get a master password prompt at browser's first password use.
2- Deleting prefs.js
-- Still not working
3- Disabling all extensions manually
-- Still not working
4- Deleting storage directory
-- Still not working

-Trying 2 + 3, 3 + 4, 2 + 3 + 4 or 2 + 4....
-- Still not working.

What am I missing?
Thanks in advance

With "browser.ctrlTab.recentlyUsedOrder" enabled (ie set to True) I see only 6 thumbnails and they are pretty huge, filling the width of my 1920 x 945 screen. Being able to preview just six thumbnails is really unhelpful. Is this expected Fx behaviour?

If this is "expected" does anyone know a way the user might controI this? Via userChrome (css) perhaps? Ideally this would entail a way to reduce the size of each image, show more than one row and Ctrl+Tab through *all* open tabs (or a user-defined number) instead of only six. Obviously (in the current one-row regime) when tab #7 is previewed, tab #1 would disappear.

TIA

All of a sudden, I cannot save bookmarks. I'm running FF on a Retina MacBookPro, 15", Late 2013, 2 GHz Intel Core i7, 16GB RAM, OS X 10.14. I did all the steps here <https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-extensions-themes-to-fix-problems#w_disable-all-extensions> and they did not fix the problem. I have downloaded a fresh copy of FF as well. That did not help either.

Help!

Every time I try to download a file from most sites, I get a little yellow dot on the download icon which indicates that the download failed. It does not matter what web site I try to download a file from, it ALWAYS fails. Please fix ASAP.
