Firefox Support Forum

I have rather abruptly lost all audio in Firefox 77 on Windows 10. YouTube, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Facebook videos - all silent.

Meanwhile, I'm getting sound as usual when viewing those things in Chrome (and I would really prefer not to have to go back to Chrome), and all sound from other sources is working correctly - games, iTunes, Spotify, etc.

Does Firefox hook into my system's audio functions in some unique way, different from everything else? I've recently started experimenting with doing my own music and video recording/editing, and I've tried out a number of different audio/video apps in an attempt to find the tools that suit me, and I'm starting to wonder if one of the apps I tried modified or overwrote whatever system hook that Firefox was using.

Strangely enough, the audio spontaneously started working again yesterday, a few hours after it stopped, and was still working today until I rebooted my machine. Then it was gone again.

New firefox 77.0.1 (64 bit) installation on Ubuntu 18.04 laptop. Synced with firefox sync. Bookmarks favicons are not refreshed. Screenshot attached. All of them show a globe until you click the favicon and load the link.

How to get all favicons refreshed in one go?

Thanks.

Previously cached web content would go to zero after I hit clear. Now it's been leaving 10 kb after I hit clear. Should I be worried? Is there a way to get it to go back to zero?

When hitting sign in the help page came up. I tries several times and the same thing happened - what to do, and shouldn't my FF browser be automatic when I click the icon - seems like it did before - have been sick and only at the computer sporadically - nothing seems to work as before....Hope you can help Thanks email: [email address]

When visiting the above site in the latest version of Firefox Developer the page fails to render. However, when I view the page in Firefox (regular non-developer version) there are warnings regarding the site using an unsupported version of TLS. Here is the warning:

This site uses a deprecated version of TLS that will be disabled in March 2020. Please upgrade to TLS 1.2 or 1.3.

Will Firefox in the future drop support for TLS 1.1 and lower?

(First off; I have not changed any settings related to history in firefox, nor is firefox configured to delete history, nor am I in private mode) For all purposes, all the history is set to be remembered and saved. (I am also the sole user of this computer)

Started having this problem this last weekend (Around June the 6th 2020) At first I didn't notice but after a while large portions (hours worth) of my history were missing. The problem seems may have gotten worse , more and more seems to vanish. To be specific seemingly randomized pages fail to register in the history.

I have attempted verifying the integrity of places.sqlite (is this even history?) as was mentioned on another similar support report (about history not recording everything) but as soon as I pressed verify the log showed the following -

> Task: checkIntegrity - Unable to check places.sqlite integrity: Error: Error(s) encountered during statement execution: > Task: invalidateCaches - The task queue was cleared by an error in another task. > Task: checkCoherence - The task queue was cleared by an error in another task. > Task: expire - The task queue was cleared by an error in another task. > Task: originFrecencyStats - The task queue was cleared by an error in another task. > Task: vacuum - The task queue was cleared by an error in another task. > Task: stats - The task queue was cleared by an error in another task. > Task: _refreshUI - The task queue was cleared by an error in another task.

Can I repair my current places.sqlite (Bookmarks / History?) ? Do I have to delete it/other places.sqlite files so firefox can regenerate?

I have a lot of bookmarks, is there such a thing as too many?

I have a website that I log into for work that needs a username and password. I was able to get into this website just fine yesterday. Since then, Windows 10 bricked itself with the latest update so after erasing the hard drive and reinstalling, I downloaded Firefox and signed back into my Mozilla account. After everything got sync'd, that's when the problem began. When I put my credentials into the website and hit submit, the form fields just clear themselves out and no error message appears. I tried logging into this website with my phone, Chrome, and even Edge with no problems. I went into my Firefox history and clicked "forget this site" and I even got desperate and reset Firefox just a moment ago. So, it's just Firefox that's suddenly having problems as of yesterday. Any ideas?

Hi, It appears as though Microsoft have made it mandatory to use Bing as my search engine overriding my Firefox browser. I have tried all the recommended fixes with no success. Can anybody help with this problem? Thank you, Clyde

In attempting to set my preference for a Homepage in Firefox, I get an error in the search bar, 1st the lock has a red slash on it, 2nd I get a "Coming Soon page" in the search bar. Basically I simply cannot choose my own homepage, I have deleted all extensions, all other plug-ins, etc. Nothing worked, can someone help? Thank You.

I have checked all settings and even uninstall ad-ons, it first started happened on my work computer. Thought it was the computer hardware or something. But now I got a laptop and it happened as well. I don't know what's causing the issue or how to fix it.

It's very frustrating because I can't really read well what it says now. I have attached a screenshot of the problem and it happens on almost every website

I have been a subscriber of Scroll for a while, and recently installed the Firefox Better Web extension to use Scroll in the Firefox browser. If I toggle reader view on Firefox, will websites still earn income from my Scroll subscription while the Firefox Better Web extension is active?

the down arrow in the address bar (that shows previously visited sites ) is gone for good ? is there a way to bring it back? or is there an add on I can use? That was the main reason i was using firefox over chrome

Thanks

Using 2FA Auth as website login. How would you clear cache when user logs out. the logout:logout@mywebsite is not a good solution,

   as myname@mywebsite will let me back in again.

Thanks

After upgrading to Firefox 77, I have trouble reaching internal websites the way I used to. My company uses a custom internal top level domain for internal services, let's call it `mytld`. If I enter a domain such as `webservice.mytld` in the address bar, I end up in search results on Google. Previously, I would end up on https://webservice.mytld/ as expected.

I have found a partial solution with the setting `browser.fixup.domainwhitelist.webservice.mytld`. The issue I have with that solution is that I have to configure every single service that way. I would rather have a solution where I can educate Firefox to understand that `mytld` is a valid TLD for me.

I have tried disabling all system security (Talktalk F-Secure) on my desktop system but it does not solve the problem. The issue affects my smart phone, tablet and desktop when connecting via my TalkTalk router. However, the tablet, for example, connects via my work router. Any bright ideas anyone

I got a new computer recently, and the audio doesn't work on Firefox. Videos play normally, there's just no sound. I initially thought it was the computer, but when I tried on another browser, the audio worked fine. After searching for answers, I downloaded Adobe Flash and made sure it was listed in my Add-ons, but still no sound.

Help?!
