I've noticed that whenever I press ⌥⇧Space (option-shift-spacebar) in Firefox Developer Edition, it causes the page to refresh.

This behaviour seems to be consistent across devices.

Is there a way to change/disable this behaviour? It is very inconvenient, as it often causes me to accidentally trigger a page refresh when I type an em dash (`—`) in a text input (opt-shift-dash, and then type a space character after it, I'm very likely to hit opt-shift-space by mistake 🙈).

Hello, I did a lot of search and followed all these advises: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1229615 https://winaero.com/remove-your-browser-is-being-managed-by-your-organization-from-firefox/

1. I have not entry "DisableFirefoxAccounts" in "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Mozilla\Firefox". 2. I have no policies.json file in firefox directory. 3. I have a message "Your browser is being managed by your organization." in "Settings" (about:preferences). 4. In "about:policies" I have DisableFirefoxAccounts=TRUE. 5. in "about:config" identity.fxaccounts.enabled=false and grayed out.

Please help me to turn on the sync of bookmarks. All these listed issues obviously have something to do with it.

Just built a new PC and using Win11. I like to have a pinned tab in Firefox playing some kind of media to have background noise. Since new build, whenever I am not 'focused' on that tab and doing other tasks, audio from that tab will cut/fade in and out.

I've been working on this for 16 hours. I've googled, binged, even yahooed. No answers. Checked and rechecked all settings, both system and browser. Uninstalled/Reinstalled *many* applications, including Firefox. My OCD won't let me rest till I have this solved.

Thanks for the help.

no matter what I try I cannot get any content from HBO max, crunchyroll, or spotify to play. I feel as though I have tried every troublshooting step. In firefox 140.0.4 64 bit on windows 10 I have:

-turned DRM off and on -disabled and re-enabled widevine -disabling all extensions -try in a private tab -turning off tracking protection -clearing cookies/cache/site data -uninstalling and reinstalling firefox -trying on firefox nightly -trying on other firefox based browsers zen, librefox same issue. chromium based browsers and firefox on my windows 11 laptop play drm content like normal -manually installing older version of widevine -changing useragent to chrome(this triggered cloudflare and would not let me pass) -making another user in windows and trying there

the error i get on crunchyroll is code: DRM-0 and on spotify it loads but the play icon does nothing. in hbo max i get error code 1k-0003

At this point I don't know what else to try, If there is not another solution I probably try to just switch to brave browser or wiping this pc and reinstalling windows.

I am using FF desktop. All of a sudden, I get no sound through my laptop speakers when trying to watch videos (on YT and FB for example). I still get sound if I use external speakers through the 3.5" jack. I still get sound through other browsers, no matter if it's through the laptop speakers or external ones. So, it is definitely an FF problem. Sound works fine on all other media files on the laptop. Refreshing FF didn't fix it. Nor did reinstalling or restarting the laptop. I tried changing the autoplay settings as suggested in the help article, but still no laptop audio via FF. How can I fix this? Thanks

After updating firefox from 128.8.0 to 128.9.0, no embedded videos will play (youtube, instagram, plex, etc...)

The only way to get them to play is to run the browser in troubleshoot mode. Even a fresh browser profile doesn't work. Disabling hardware acceleration also does not work. Tried firefox 137.0.2 and that also does not work. Downgraded back to 128.8.0 and videos play flawlessly again.

I'm running firefox on gentoo linux on a thinkpad x13s (arm64) which uses Qualcomm Adreno 690 graphics.

Anything I should try would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
