Firefox Support Forum

I seem to have that bug that was fixed a few updates ago where videos won't play. I have the latest version of Firefox. For example, YouTube will load and the page, progress bar and even subtitles will show, but the video will just have the spinning circle. I have tried videos on other websites (Facebook, Tumblr) and they won't play either.

I've uninstalled/reinstalled Firefox, refreshed Firefox, disabled all add-ons, allowed autoplay of videos/audio but nothing works. The videos all work on Chrome and Edge.

What has Firefox upgraded in security setting that is blocking so many of my websites, including many that surely are harmless, like Pinterest. Have those sites been hacked, is my account compromised, what's going on? I'm not a computer whiz, so I can't follow these lengthy suggestions about which I understand not a bit.

Hi, I tried to update my Firefox Accounts secondary email, but I got the error message This email was already confirmed by another user." That does not seem likely, as no one else has access to my secondary email account. Obviously, there's something I don't grasp here. How do I fix this?

I can't use my mic on the web version of Discord. It never asks me to enable or disable mic settings to allow the mic to work. Other tips to get the mic working have not helped.

I am a grandma with limited computer knowledge. I have always used Firefox as my browser. Am on my second Lenovo laptop. Now bookmarks are duplicating. I find bookmarks very useful. HELP!

Besides old content from 2017 where is the most current listing of Tabs below the URL and below the Multi Bookmarks lines. I have the code inserted in the CSS code after the code for the Multi bookmarks section. So, why is the Tabs showing up at the bottom of the screen. Can someone point me to the right version of tabs? I'm on 105.0.2 10-8-22

I'm reinstalling Windows on my computer after a hardware issue, and I do have a backup of my old data. I was using Firefox Sync, where this "device" was called "Firefox Maison".

When I reinstall firefox on my new computer, how do I make it a continuation of the former "device"/session, rather than it being registered as a new device with the same "Firefox Maison" name ? I sent tabs from another device to "Firefox Maison" while the computer is kaput, and Ideally I would wish these tabs to appear on my new Firefox when the operation is finished - if this particular thing can't be done that's not the most important, but I think it helps understanding what kind of continuation I want to do. The restoration of my (normal) open tabs would be much more important, for example.

I managed to do that when a very similar issue happened to me some months ago, but it was clanky with appdata files, and I feared corrupting my sync session in some way, and/or losing data, so if anyone has a more reliable walkthrough, that would be ideal.

on a MAC LAPTOP....Mozilla Browser updated yesterday... missing all logins/passwords...sync is on... how can I retrieve the old mozilla for logins?

HELP PLEASE..!!!

I would have posted in the previous thread about this issue

How to turn off message that asks to update password

However it has been made readonly and nobody can comment on it further

So, as I use the internal website, my proxmox web server, it will often ask me if I want to update the password.

I can safely ignore the prompt and it disappears. It is just annoying.

The previous answer (the top google link for "firefox proxmox keeps asking update password") only says "use a private tab" but that is also annoying because my add-on wouldn't be mostly turned off. And I don't want to turn them on for all private tabs either !

So, how can I turn off asking to update password for this specific host only ?

thanks!

On occasion, I come across a web page that offers to send an email if you click on the link eg, I was researching regulations for personal care homes in GA and there was an option to send an email to the administrators to ask them for more information.

So, I click on the link and rather than getting the email address, firefox goes to open the "mail" application on my mac.

Well, I never use that application because it is too slow and bulky. I can't use basic text options like bolding or italics and such. Not to mention, it takes forever to load.

I use GMX for mail and it is accessed through Firefox. It is not an application that "lives" on my computer.

How can I get Firefox to respond to these email buttons on websites by going to GMX?

Thanks, Charles

Recently, https://www.nhlottery.com had experienced a hostile act & then shut down their site. They were super great at being transparent, etc. However, as of today, staff have reported it is up and running with no risk.

I have an account that I am unable to access due to browsers reporting security issues. I don't know what to do? Im sooooooo not a techie, but I can follow directions. Help! ST

Every time I open a link in firefox that is a youtube short, it opens up an entirely different short than I selected unless I am using a "full video" version of the link. I have tested this and it works fine if I copy-paste it into chrome.

I've read the forums, i've tried adjustments for days on Win 11 and firefox. Zoomed in zoomed out, adjust font sizes Either it's way too tiny to read or the page is fine but text over laps i've tried the zoom in on text only as well Basically tried everything. enclosing a youtube page for reference

Hi Firefox community,

Do we have any settings in firefox where we can enable/disable dark mode in firefox browser instead of installing a plugin or addon? I am looking something that is offered within the browser instead of a plugin.

Thank you all.

Why do I get blocked from certain websites? for example, when I try to log on to my account as USPS I get the following message: You do not have permission to access this page If you have found this page in error, please contact support Reference:2935806335620971961367312269849628258120034968299102359

This has happened to some other sights as well.

Thank you.

Dropdown lists are not displaying their contents when selected on certain websites, including eBay.

I have tried using Troubleshoot Mode and the dropdowns are still not displaying.

Here's an example where I am seeing this behaviour: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/255536264049?var=555488018135

When I select the Resistance Level dropdown, nothing happens. It's the same for any listing that has a dropdown.

This issue occurs in both RPM and Flatpak instances of Firefox.

I have tried the same page in Chromium browser on the same computer and the dropdown functions correctly in that browser.

I have also noted the same behaviour on other websites, such as train booking sites, but I don't have any other examples to share at the moment. It isn't an isolated eBay issue anyway.

Any ideas? Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

We have our downloads set to a network location, and ask to save in location. We have needed to apply the fix I found in a forum by going to about:config, browser.download.improvements_to_download_panel and change value from true to false.

However, when even going to a PDF on the internet, it is automatically saving to the network location. Can this be changed?

Thank you! Nicole
