Hello,

Sorry if this is not the right place to report this, this is my first time and im lost between all these 3 different pages "Discussions/Support/Bugzilla".

The latest Firefox (v137.0) update for Windows 11 that I installed today broke something possibly related to DRM-protected content, at least for me. Now whenever I start streaming live sports, the video always plays in the lowest quality (possibly even lower than the lowest option available in the player, for some reason?).

I tried to restart my PC, clear the cookies for that streaming website, disable all my extensions, but same issue. On my other browsers everything works fine as always, so only Firefox got broken after this last update.

I have both of these options turned ON even before the update: - Use recommended performance settings (Hardware acceleration). - Play DRM-controlled content.

Why do I think it's related to DRM? Because I can now record and take a screenshot of the video, unlike before the update where it always turned into a black screen.

Help please!

FINALLY got my zorin os to update, and now also have the newest version of firefox uploaded and working. My singlefile addon works properly, I have upgraded to the newest versions of my video downloaders, and I have cleared my history, but my 2 video downloaders still don't recognize any videos on youtube. Any suggestions or alternative downloaders?

For about 2 weeks now, the audio volume on youtube videos fluctuates up and down. The volume starts off low when a person starts to talk. For example, when the person in the video starts to talk, their voice volume is very low then within a second or two, the volume rises to normal as they talk. When they finish a sentence and start a new one (when there is a short pause in the audio) their voice is again at a very low volume, rising to normal in a second or two. This repeats as they speak throughout the entire video. This is not specific to any youtube video or youtube channel, it happens on all youtube videos. I have tried updating all audio drivers in Windows 11 - no improvement. I have tried rebooting the computer - no improvement Firefox is up to date, version 133.0 I have tried watching the same videos using Chrome and I do not have this problem.

For many years, I have been exchanging video calls on Facebook.

Recent attempts to video call the same person I've been video calling for the past 3 years result in "your browser doesn't support video calls"

Have I been "hacked"?

Please explain.

Could a real person answer this question for me, please? Thank you.

Since the latest update to my Firefox, videos (for example, in documents such as surveys) either do not load or they freeze. And in some streaming applications, either they play with no sound or when sound is turned on the video freezes. This was never a problem until recently. iMac desktop (2017) Ventura 13.7.4 Firefox 136.0.2 (64 bit) The same issue does not occur on Safari or on my iPad (using Firefox). Any advice?? Thanks.

Following a recent update of my bios (AMD Ryzen) of my PC the on-board sound system failed. I chased down the issue, got a sound card to circumvent the on-board circuits, and had sound once again but for my FireFox (Ver 133.0.3, on Windows 11 Home, Ver 10.0.22631 Build 22631). Testing with alternate browsers (Edge, Opera) the sound works, as do my downloaded games and music but no joy with FireFox.

My question: Is this a known issue being addressed for a future update or are my circumstances an outlier issue?

My account on thinkific is cookingasmedicine.thinkific.com When I go to the "course" and click on a video whether in my class or one I am taking, the videos will NOT play. I have been talking with Thinkific and we've gone through all the videos of yours and theirs - the settings, checked my updates and nothing works. I have no trouble on my laptop or my Iphone using firefox on laptop just on my desktop LENOVO.

I checked my set up that is on the laptop and made it exactly the same on my desktop but STILL to no avail. The videos will simply NOT play!

Would you please help me?

I have Windows 10 and currently have auto updates so I am up to date with your updates. I just can't imagine what it could be that's stopping the videos from playing? They played perfectly for three years! I have not put any new apps or programs on my computer either.

Thank you, Claire
