Firefox Community Forum

I've been using Firefox since forever but over the last couple of months, the auto translate subtitles (to English) hasn't been working when watching Youtube videos. There's a thread on the Youtube support site with nearly 40,000 posts of people with the same issue and tonight I was trying to watch a video where the hosts talk in Italian, so I use auto translate to English subtitles but no subtitles appear. It will show Italian language subtitles.

I've gone back through this Youtube channel's history trying videos I've previously watched from months/years ago when auto translate used to work but even they're not working now.

I decided to try the video in Edge browser and to my surprise the auto translate to English worked there. They also work in Chrome.

So what could be causing this issue on Firefox, which started about August time?

This is quite bizarre as I assumed all the processing/translation was done by Google/Youtube so in what way can Firefox be part of this issue?

To be clear, subtitles in the (foreign) language the people are speaking, works. Subtitles translated from that language to English (or other languages) has stopped working. Subtitles translated from that language to English IS working on Edge and Chrome browser.

I have really liked using the "refresh" button with my Firefox browser. The "refresh" button has disappeared from one of my two Dell PC's (I use Windows Eleven, and my Dell PC's have solid state drive). I know there are two other "help" buttons ("troubleshoot mode" and "clear startup cache"). The "refresh" button has really helped me to keep my Firefox browser working properly with my two Dell PC's. Thank you for any comments you might have about this.

Hello,

I have today encountered a reproducible issue with Firefox 145.0.2 (64-bit) on my system (CachyOS Linux). Whenever I press the "Print" button in the printing dialog for a PDF file, the browser freezes and no longer reacts to anything. I had to kill the process manually and try again. I have then downloaded the PDF and opened a different application to print it - that worked fine. Is this a known issue with Firefox? Does anyone have an idea how to fix this?

I already tried resetting the printer settings in the browser, but that did not change anything.

Thanks, Stefan

Several times now I've closed firefox while having the open previous windows and tabs on startup on only for all my tabs to have been closed (with this time in particular being annoying due to losing tabs that I needed to have the specific link for). Is there any way to restore tabs lost in this way?

I have an website which I prior to this error message have visited many times on Firefox and had no problems. Recently though around two days ago I noticed that I couldn't get in and was met with the following message "Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead". I can't bypass it apparently and I really need to be able to access this site as it's a University site.

I can access the site on other browsers such as Chrome and Edge but I use Firefox as my default browser and I'd like to keep it that way. I'd appreciate any help I can get.

I've received a handful of emails from the Social Security Administration regarding the 2026 cost-of-living adjustment (COLA). Each time I click on the provided sign-in button, Firefox fails to connect. I am attaching a screenshot of the message it gives me instead. Today, on a whim, I tried to sign in using Chrome, and it worked fine. What is wrong with Firefox?

I recently tried to connect to two different meeting sites. Both times I got a pop-up noting (correctly) that camera and microphone are blocked. I'm able to click to enable the microphone but I never get the option to enable the camera.

I tried going to Settings>Security&Privacy>Camera but that only allows me to remove previously-enabled websites.

Clicking on the settings button in the address bar shows audio and recording settings but no camera.

What am I doing wrong?

Fedora 42 Firefox 145.0

I have a firefox account that I use for work, which was created with my personal email address - "email"@"personalDomain".co.uk. When I try to log in using it I get a message saying that "personalDomain.co.uk" is not a valid email address. How can I log into my account which was created using this email address? The email address is valid and active, and I do have access to it.

bold text how do i move bookmarks along the bookmarks tab

I have just bought a new computer. Got firefox working and I have bookmarks on the bookmarks tab below the search box.

I used to be able to move bookmark tabs along it and it was my main organisational method.

OR I would drag a url down from the search bar to put it on the bookmark tab below

neither of these methods work any longer and it is a real problem.

I cannot think of a worst thing you could have done.

Help how do i move a bookmark along the bookmark tab, or move a url to the bookmark tab, or move those bookmarks which I can't see to the visible section below the search bar

These are technically two separate issues, but both pertain to functionality of the mouse and keyboard. Whenever I right click to bring up the menu, the options (despite being functional) do not appear in the menu proper. Instead there are just empty buttons. In addition, certain hotkeys aren't working at all. Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V to copy paste are doing fine, but Ctrl-T and Ctrl-W to open and close tabs respectively do nothing. Neither of these issues were happening yesterday.

Tonight I was roaming around my Firefox settings looking at something else, when I noticed this AI piece pre-checked. Why is FIREFOX, who is supposed to be for privacy and security, authorizing an update that automatically choose AI? Not cool Mozilla. Not Cool. Anyone else have this? and yes, I've already fixed it ;-)

I've been having an issue of, whenever I tab into Firefox from a different application on my computer, the alt menu opens. Firefox seems to be interpreting me opening the program as pressing the alt key, because even when I have the menu bar set to always be open, the input immediately goes to the "File" dropdown option of the menu, just as it would if I pressed the alt key. However, I tried to troubleshoot this by 1. opening a program that tracks keyboard inputs and that didn't show such a thing happening, and 2. I checked if this issue was happening with other applications that have switch the input to the upper menu bar when the alt key is pressed, and that was not the case. This is making it a lot harder to use Firefox, as using a keyboard shortcut to open a new window (ctrl+shift+p, or ctrl+i) while in a normal Firefox tab, it will not automatically open to the new window (as it is set to do automatically), it will also not let me open the new window -- either by alt-tabbing or by clicking the new window on the windows taskbar -- and instead reopens the alt menu and sets the input to that menu, locking me to the original Firefox page unless I tab into a completely different application and then into the new window. This issue also makes me unable to input key commands or text into my active tab immediately when I reopen it, instead forcing me to close the alt menu first either or clicking somewhere on the page. And since I don't keep the alt menu visible at all times, this forces the screen to shift up and down jarringly when I'm simply trying to use the computer.

I'm using Firefox on a Windows 11 computer. I've tried refreshing Firefox and have tried my absolute best to find articles related to this issue but to no luck. Thanks for any help or advice!

I am experiencing an issue where Google.com (other google domains work fine) will not load in Firefox, resulting in an infinite loading loop. Other browsers on the same system (Brave) work fine.

Here are the steps I have already tried:

Reinstalled Firefox completely

Removed Firefox via sudo apt remove --purge firefox -y

Cleared all user profiles and caches: ~/.mozilla/firefox, ~/.cache/mozilla, ~/.config/Mozilla

Reinstalled via Flatpak

Tested network connectivity outside Firefox

curl google.com works correctly

DNS resolution works via getent hosts google.com in the host system

Checked proxy settings

Ensured “No proxy” is selected in Firefox → did not resolve the issue

Tested in Safe Mode (disabling extensions)

Problem persists, so not caused by extensions

Tried disabling IPv6 inside Firefox

network.dns.disableIPv6 set to true → no effect

Cleared DNS cache inside Firefox

about:networking#dns → clicked “Clear DNS Cache” → no effect

Disabled DNS-over-HTTPS (Secure DNS)

about:preferences#privacy → “Use secure DNS” → disabled → no effect

Disabled HTTP/3 (QUIC)

network.http.http3.enabled set to false → no effect

Verified Flatpak network permissions

flatpak info --show-permissions org.mozilla.firefox shows network access allowed

Inside the Flatpak shell:

flatpak run --command=sh org.mozilla.firefox getent hosts google.com

→ returns only IPv6 address: 2800:3f0:4001:839::200e google.com

I think that this recent update removed all of my tabs and tab windows, it has done this before and I don't understand why, I have the old update session file still (The 11/11/2025 One) and I tried to use that one to bring the tabs back by putting the file in the sessionstore-backup folder with no other file in it, but they didn't come back. I am genuinely confused as to why it doesn't work, I have renamed and deleted sessionstore.jsonzl4 files but it still comes up as a new session.

I wanted to open firefox and a new window for new firefox open but did not suggest me to sync my old bookmarks. instead it only asked me if i wanted to sync with chrome browser only. why was i not allowed to save old bookmarks before new firefox updated.
