My OS is ubuntu20.046LTS, and the Firefox is 118.0.2. Just like the images i post, i can't play the videos at all, but i can play the youtube videos. The developer tools console in twitter video post shows 2 errors:

 The Content-Security-Policy: The page’s settings blocked the loading of a resource at data:i (“object-src”);
 The connection to https://api.twitter.com/live_pipeline/events?topic= was lost while loading the page.

I thought my problem may be related to these errors so i post them. Alough i can play the videos in chrome normally, but i used to the Firefox, please help me

Hi, why does Firefox always download PDF files, no matter what option you chose (open with Firefox, open with other Adobe, always ask...)? It just does the same thing Chrome does, and I don't like Chrome for that reason too. I would like to see PDF files in Firefox or Adobe for instance, without downloading them. Thanks.

I am often now getting messages that Secure Connection Failed though I can connect to these sites through other browsers. It is getting annoying enough that I am thinking of switching away from FireFox as my default browser if there is not a simple fix. Thanks, Claire

I have 4 x header images on a slider, the first one loads ok, the second one loads ok, then when it should move on to the third & fourth it just stops. The site can still be navigated, but it's a bit annoying and not the user experience I want. The test url is

Firefox on Mac shows the wrong time. I have followed every support thread I have found so far - checked that the problem is Firefox and not the websites in question, checked that the time via Firefox's console is wrong, checked that resistFingerprint is false, trashed cookies and preferences, booted in Troubleshoot Mode, altered system settings. Nothing has worked. The time has been accurate until a few weeks ago when daylight savings time started.

Hello! Upon searching on Google, Netflix on Firefox can have a max resolution of 1280x720p. But recently, I noticed while watching on Netflix that the video quality was really poor, so I checked the stream details and saw that the resolution was only at 960x540p.

I have tried to create a new profile in Firefox to see if there would be any changes in the Netflix video quality and there was -- it was 1280x720p on the newly created profile while on my default profile it just remains stuck at 960x540p. I could easily just change my default profile, but it is too much of a hassle for me 'cause I don't want to have to re-download all my extensions and lose my bookmarks. Was wondering why this happened and how I could fix this?

Doo not want Microsoft Edge so hopefully returning to Mozilla

Tired of the bullying tactics of Microsoft forcing me to accept Microsoft Edge when all I want is Google Chrome, so I'm thinking of making Mozilla my default browser, but I'm concerned about whether Mozilla will tranfer all my info. I sell the occasional bits on Etsy and Ebay. I had found the perfect tool to edit my photos on Chrome. Now this has gone haywire because I am forced into using Edge, which does not give me anything like the editing choices I have on Chrome. I have followed all the directions given by Microsoft to get off Edge and back into Chrome but they have all failed miserably, so I am trapped in Edge and all my efforts are turning into Groundhog Day ! Also if I return to Firefox, what will happen to all my photos, and the folders they are kept in ? As an 86 year old, I need clear, concise directions on how I can restore everything I need to be able to return to a browser I was completely comfortable with. Please advise.

This seems to be a recent issue. Normally, when I click a link for a map (such as "get directions" for a business,) the map will be rendered in Google Maps. This is good for my use, because I'm looking for Latitude/Longitude and distances, and this is easy in Google Maps. However, the maps now default to MapQuest. I'm not finding any setting in the browser to change that.

Can you help? This problem has sent me back to using Chrome.

Thank you,

Ben

My computer needed to be updated so I click on update without closing any programs because the computer usually does it. At this time I was in the School Library well the update was completed so I open up Firefox usually when i open firefox after a shutdown or some other reason. I can go to Open Application Menu>History>RestorePreviousSession but before I clicked on Restore Previous Session I realize that I need to go to class, so I closed my computer. once in class I open my computer up and I try to restore my previous session but by the time that I tried to restore it my session was deleted and my question is if anyone at FIREFOX can help restore that deleted session because I was working on my research project which is due this week, and in that particular session I had tabs open that I need so i can finish my project. Please reach out as soon as possible. This happen on Tuesday. Thank You

I can't access my email in fastmail.us and I can not reach their support page either. I am running FF119.0.2 (64bit) on windows10. This problem started with the upgrade to this version. I can reach my email on my iPad and on MSFT Edge which leads to the conclusion that this problem is FF related.

I posted here the other day and no help came my way.

I had all my emails accounts at Google, my xbox account, my facebook and my MS account hacked.

What do they all have in common?

Their log in and password were saved in my Firefox.

The other gmail accounts I have that are not saved were NOT hacked.

Is it just a coincidence?

Can anyone at Mozilla care to respond?

Thank you
