Videos will not play in firefox. They will play in safari. I tried clearing cache and settings to allow websites to auto play video and sound. Nothing is working. It says I have the latest version of firefox. HELP!

Hello Mozilla. I am logged on to my Firefox account on a new computer. Although I have logged in, I haven't experienced Firefox automatically syncing my bookmarks and extensions as I did two computers ago to this last computer. I have tried syncing numerous time (pressing the sync button in my account) to no avail. What do I need to do to get this working? Thank you for your time and attention.

Hello,

I recently switched from Brave to FireFox, and notice that my Google search results page doesn't load properly. I'm not sure how long after switching this was an issue. I feel like Google worked fine for a time, but now it's suddenly loading improperly.

I've also grabbed the console output from Google when on a search results page. You can find that here.

I'm using Windows 11 and have never had this issue happen before as far as I can remember. I am aware of a thread with an identical issue, but my issue still persists even after trying their solution.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

how do you turn off 11 digit phone numbers in firefox, most web sites i want/need 10 digit phone numbers not 11 how can i turn off your addition of the 11th number

I primarily use Firefox Browser but occasionally use Edge for better printing of certain document files, so I open specific files in Edge when necessary. I save files in the Edge One Drive. When opening them in File Explorer from One Drive documents, I prefer them to open in Firefox unless explicitly opened with Edge.

• How can I ensure that all my documents consistently open in Firefox instead of Edge?
• I'm uncertain if this topic accurately describes my question.

Hi -

I've been using Firefox for 10+ years, and have not touched my add-ons etc for years. I also regularly clear my cache of temp files.

That said, searching my (vast) bookmarks in Firefox used to be lickety-split, very fast. Then, it started slowing down, on both PC (Windows 10). Then, a little while later, it started on my laptop (Macbook with latest IoS).

It's now gotten so bad that I am searching my emails to find the links I'm looking for, rather than putting my browser into a coma for a time, because it freezes.

What is the problem, and how do I overcome it?

I tried to login to my account with my email address, but it pops out to ask mw to create a new account. How wierd is that?! I follow the previous registration confirmation email last year and trace my account. I can clearly see that the email address is the one I try to login with. how is that happen? can i get my data back?

BTW, I create the recovery key through the website. The problem is how I login my account in the APP.

When i try to drag a text/word/link to between tabs (i generally have 10 tabs open) it opens a new tab at the far right. I tried to change "browser.tabs.insertAfterCurrent" but it just opens the new tab next to the tab that i'm viewing. For example, when i'm at the sixth tab and i want to open a new tab (by dragging) between third and fourth tabs it opens that tab on the far right. This wasn't like that before how can i change it?

She denied permission to install helper at first, but that caused firefox to be dysfunctional. Retrying the install and giving permission to install the helper did not correct the problem. Her laptop is pretty much down for the count on this problem - firefox does not come up. Endless spinning beachball.

Is a work-around available?

It seems there is some conflict between the firefox helper and her VPN, private internet access (PIA) adding the login background task. She's. been using PIA for years.

I would try removing and re-installing firefox as a work-around but that would destroy the her bookmarks she relies on.

Thanks, Jerry

My automatic address has recently been changed in your system from: [edited private information from public] to: [edited private information from public] Please delete the second and revert to the first. Thank you. Roger

Hello, I have some issues with Firefox keeping my logged in my Google account. When I close Firefox it logs me out of Google, but not other websites. I have tried some methods from other threads on this site but still without success. I have the setting for delete cookies on Firefox close to off and have tried Firefox remember history and use custom settings. Thank you for reading this.

I am tired of this bullshit.

So i was using the beta branch of the firefox and beta version stopped working with a site for some time. so i tried to come back to the stable version.

After i do that and fix my config. In every couple of hours there would be a notification window pop up with sound saying this

"firefox this profile was last used with a newer version of this application. Please create a new profile"

So i did create a new profile BUT i copy pasted my own configuration.UI stuff from my old settings from "About:config"

This notification STILL comes up FFS what do i need to do then?

HOW COME MY UI CONFIGURATION TRIGGERS THE DAMN NOTIFICATION?

I will not re-do my fckng UI configuration by hand.

On deleting an email the pane which lists all emails (?message list?, top right) is cleared and the only way to restore it that I have found is to close Thunderbird & reload. Strangely this process a) says that Thunderbird is still running; b) creates a new extra drafts folder (Drafts-1) with the same content as the original Drafts folder; and c) creates a new folder named Drafts.msf-X.compact-backup. I have tried reverting to an old version; and have installed the latest (136.0.1) to no avail. This occurred a week or so ago if my memory is correct.
