I am using Firefox's picture-in-picture player to watch a livestream on Youtube. When I use the mute button on the PiP controls, it will unmute itself after a few seconds. Instead, I have to find the browser tab and mute it in YouTube's player. Would be nice to have a this resolved as the mute button on the PiP player is more convenient to use. Thanks, I appreciate this cool feature.

Screenshot is just to indicate the mute button I'm referring to - hard to capture the problematic behavior in a screenshot.

I have set Firefox as my default homepage and browser, however whenever I do a search or try to go to a website, Firefox starts to load it and then the screen flickers for a millisecond and then Bing takes over - Firefox no longer appears and the Bing logo is in the upper left hand corner. How do I stop Bing from taking over?

I am using Windows 10 with Firefox as my browser. I've been using Firefox for 20 years with no problems. My Windows recently did an update and now I have no audio output from Firefox. Audio works fine with every other application including Edge. I have followed all instructions given in Firefox help. Nothing has worked. Any help would be appreciated.

Arggh! I had this box all filled out, but it vanished when I pasted the troubleshooting info. I see the troubleshooting info is gone, also. buggy So... I have a bookmarks folder, named "mobile bookmarks". It lists beneath "all bookmarks", alongside "other bookmarks", "bookmarks menu", and "bookmarks toolbar". I want to delete this "mobile bookmarks" folder, but the delete folder option is grayed out.

DRM add-on seems broken after update. Obviously this renders ALL the streaming sites I pay for useless. How do I fix it? The people who make the plug-in won't talk to end users and anyway I got it to work after DL-ing another browser (Opera). I like FF but their unwanted updates only seem to cause problems and take away features I like. Is there any way short of moving to another browser that can fix this? All my streaming DRM sites I pay for seem to be broken now. I have brand a new Win11 Asus ROG Strix 17 that had been working fine until last night when I made the mistake of updating FF. As noted, a refresh didn't help. Frankly this is insane, and I'm finally done with FF unless someone comes up with a fix for this.

Firefox miscalculates top edge in Windows 11

Sometimes, Firefox launches with its title bar just off screen (and the menu bar sits against the top edge) so the mouse cannot reach the title bar controls. I find that if I drag the right edge of the window in a small amount, the title bar drops down a few pixels so I can see a few pixels of the title bar and its controls. So adjusting the right edge seems to cause a recalculation of the top edge. It suggests that on launch, there is a miscalculation. It would be nice to fix this - a minor irritation as I now have a workaround. Note - if I *drag* the title bar to the top of the window, the furthest 'north' I can go is this same position with a few pixels of the title bar showing - If I go further, the title bar ( not the whole window) jumps back to have this same part showing. regards Gareth HP Envy Win 11 NVidia HDR screen 3840x2160 (the recommended setting) with text set 200%

I run Window 10 and love session restore in Firefox, as I usually like about 15 of my usual tabs open each session. Though Firefox restores these tabs successfully, it often also restores long-closed tabs that were no longer open during my previous session, sometimes resulting in my having over a hundred tabs open which I have to manually close. How do I stop Firefox from 'restoring' tabs that were no longer open when I last powered-down my computer?

Using Google Workspace (Gmail) with FF on Windows 11 Pro. FF is not set up to save my passwords, yet every time I log out of Gmail, and log back in, it remembers it. I have to find it in Cookies and delete the cookie to remove it, which I'd either have to remember to do nightly, or have it auto delete all cookies nightly, which I don't want to do. Any way to stop it from saving?
