Firefox Community Forum

I have a new laptop and am using Firefox as my browser. But when I'm on Facebook, go to chats it says that video chat isn't supported by this browser. Does Firefox not allow this? I've tried going to permissions to allow Facebook to access my camera and microphone, but unable to do so. How do I use the video chat feature in Facebook chats?

In my Firefox browser, when i try to sign in to Youtube, a window says "there was an issue signing in to Youtube" pops up. None of the troubleshooting articles are helpful for my situation. My Firefox browser is up to the latest update - version 146 on windows 11. Youtube works, but i am prevented from signing in to my account.

I have used Youtube in Firefox before by signing in to my google account, the only thing that has changed was that I went into settings and cleared my browsing history, cache, and cookies. Once those were cleared, Youtube won't sign me in and only shows that error window.

In my Firefox browser settings, I have set Youtube to accept cookies and have disabled adblock for Youtube.

My Youtube account is still accessible using Chrome, but not in Firefox. Youtube WILL sign me in if i use Firefox private browsing. I'd rather not use chrome since Firefox is my primary browser and I'd rather not jump through the extra steps of google sign-in using private browsing.

I do have a Google account with my school institution, but that has never been an issue (expect it won't open google maps for some reason, not the issue here though). My Youtube has always been signed in with my personal Gmail, not my school Gmail. I'm not sure if that's interfering with anything.

To reinstate the main issue: I cleared my browsing data and cookies, now Youtube in Firefox won't sign me in.

I have messenger loaded but with Firefox i can not video call when i want to call a friend or family. I have no way to call any one i do have a web cam. do i need to go to Chrome every time i want to call. Messenger has stopped desktop messenger that was how i could call but now i can not is there some way to Facebook video call on Firefox please let me know thanks I want to stay with Firefox why is there no way to get video calls on Facebook??

I have at least one question on the support forum which has never been answered. So I went to Bugzilla, and discovered dozens of YouTube issues under the Open/Unconfirmed status.

I can reproduce my problems. I'm sure others can reproduce their problems. Nothing is done. NOT EVEN admitting there is a problem.

If I can't use YouTube on Firefox (I can't), then why am I using FF? It is one of the biggest sites on all of the internet. But FF apparently doesn't care if it doesn't work.

What. Is. Going. On?

When I play YouTube videos in Firefox, the video stutters and drops frames, even at 480p. Audio keeps playing normally. This does not happen in Chrome on the same computer. The issue started about a week ago. I’m using Firefox on Windows 11 on a laptop. Restarting Firefox did not fix it.

In Firefox, the animation exhibits performance issues like stuttering, particularly in elements that rely on animateTransform and animate for movement or opacity transitions. This issue is not present in Chrome, where the animations run smoothly without any noticeable lag.

Expected Behavior: The animation should render smoothly on both Chrome and Firefox without any stuttering or lag, providing a seamless experience for users.

Steps to Reproduce:

Open the provided SVG code in Firefox.

Observe the animation, particularly the elements with animate and animateTransform attributes.

Notice the stuttering or lag compared to the smooth rendering in Chrome.

When I try to log in to my account with Amazon Prime, Firefox freezes as soon as I hit the Continue button after entering the username and password. I can't open or close tabs or do anything. I don't have this problem with the Amazon account in any other browser.

Any ideas why this happens and how to fix it?

When I try to log into Tangerine bank I get the error. "We're sorry for the inconvenience. This function is currently unavailable. Please try again later."

This issue started Oct-13-2025 and it appears to work when using Firefox ESR 146.01 but not the regular Firefox 146.01 versions. Tangerine is not giving me information on the error and I was wondering if there is a difference between the ESR and regular version that might clear up this issue?

Hi Google Maps all of a sudden is not showing the names of places in Firefox. When Google maps loads initially the names show for about 1 second and then disappear.

 I am on a Surface Pro 9.  

Google Maps works fine in Chrome.

I have already tried disabling extensions, clearing cache, and ensure the performance is set to run normally. 

What else can I do to fix this?

I've embedded a Youtube video from our company's YouTube page into our website. It works fine on Chrome, but on Firefox it displays the error message: 'Video unavailable Playback on other websites has been disabled by the video owner Watch on YouTube' I have not disabled playback on other websites. Where could this problem be? It looks unprofessional for the video not to be working.

Any help would be much appreciated.

I typically use FF to log into social security accounts. I have not been able to use FF for a couple of months to log in to ONLY THAT SITE. I can on CHROME.

Problem started with Firefox 146.0.1 Windows 11

1. Open outlook.com in FF browser (https://outlook.live.com/mail/0/). 2. Open any email. 3. No side scrollbar appears so you can't page down within email. Note: the Outlook folder scrollbar does appear and does work. 4. The within-email-item side scroll bar does appear from outlook.com opened in Edge browser. So this is a Firefox bug.

Have tried: a. Windows settings->Accessibility->Visual effects->Always show scrollbars = on b. Turned Adblock on and off for outlook.com c. Firefox settings autoscrolling, smooth scrolling tried all combinations.

Any fixes?

On a few sites that use recaptcha I am not getting a response to sending information. An example is Big Fish games, I have partial access to the site, am able to buy games, download and play. But when I attempt to sign in to my actual account, the part where my credit card number, game points, etc are kept I put my user name & password in but when click on the "send" button nothing happens, no error message, nothing.

If I switch to that "other browser" from Seattle there is no problem - type in the user name and password, click on "send" and I'm in with no problem.

I've asked Big Fish support - they are pretty clueless.

New sites online (foxnews.com, newsmax.com and others) will not load comments. Had to remove shield and try several things. Still a problem. Everything before 146.0 worked. I'm sorry I did the upgrade as all this takes too much time.

When trying to access windinfo.eu, I get the message "you are not allowed to preview snippets". Other websites work o.k. I had used the snipping tool on a different website, but not on this one. The problem persists even after deinstalling the snipping tool and restarting. On edge, I get access to windinfo.eu.

Many thanks in advance for your help

When using ebay, I am unable to open additional pictures of a listed item, view an enlarged picture of the item, save an item or to bid on an item, while using my computer. I am able to do these things using my phone but it is much less convenient. This came about in the last week or so and I have been unable to determine the issue. Similar accessibility issues are not apparent on other sites. Obviously I have not been able to sort this out myself and am reaching out to see if you may have any suggestions as to what I may try.

Thanks you for your assistance, Dave Herman

I am using Firefox on Windows 11, in the process of switching from Chrome.

I run Cockpit (https://cockpit-project.org/) on web servers that I manage, and when I log into it on Firefox the screen flickers constantly, making it unusable.

There is no issue with any other web sites I have visited, and I can still use Cockpit when in Chrome. So ay suggestions on how to troubleshoot and resolve the issue with Cockpit and Firefox?
