Firefox keeps crashing when I click on a video and I've lost sound about 2 weeks ago. I've looked at everything I can find (Don't have a lot of experience with what to look for). I have considered going back to last Firefox download but don't know if that would help or how to do. I did also reinstall Firefox without removing this on that I have all set up. I've gone back to the original Firefox (using now) since it was not deleted. Hopefully, I didn't make things worse. Please help! Thank you!

For several weeks every time I try to download an attachment (docx, pdf, jpg) from gmail, Firefox freezes and I have to force quit firefox. I'm on a 2019 Mac with 16 GB RAM and 512 SSdisk, running Macos 12.4 (Monterrey). I keep hoping the next firefox update will fix the problem but I just did another without success. Computer rebooted multiple tijmes. Solution is always just go to Chrome and it works no problem. Thx, Richard

I switched to using Firefox about six weeks ago, from Chrome. At first, it all worked perfectly. Now, I have a 100% reproducable problem: YouTube "short" videos never play. It will display the video player in the proper aspect ratio, and displays the overlayed text from the video's thumbnail and other meta data, but the actual playing of the video fails with a message typically like:

An error occurred. Please try again later. (Playback ID: C8SVj-KCLVM2m_DW)

Windows 11, current patched. on serious Core I9 system with 32 GB of ram, fast video card, etc.

Regular YouTube videos display perfectly. Using Google Chrome browser works perfectly.

The help message talks about clearing cache, but I can't seem to find that. I can see how to delete site-specific cookies and data. I really don't want to clear all cookies for all sites.

I've been using Android/google messages on web (messages.google.com/web) for years with Firefox with no issues. Starting today, the page will show the logo for about 10-20 seconds, then loads a blank page. I've tried unpairing, restarting my computer and phone, and restarting firefox. Was there a new update or something that might explain this? Any other thoughts?

Please create a new version of the browser app that supports the ability to use FileSystemAPI on directories, this is essential for working with a BeatBuddy project and SD cards that are saved on my computer using the online editor.

Hi,

The newest Firefox has an issue with properly parsing the javascript links in the ACS research journal articles. In these research articles, citations are clickable numbers in parenthesis. Clicking on them leads to a pop-up frame that gives detailed reference article information.

However, with the latest version of Firefox these citation links will only respond properly to the first click ever on the page. After you close the pop-up frame, any subsequent clicks on any of these links will have no response.

I attach an example article below. This bug has been repeated under Trouble Shoot Mode and I do not encounter the same issue with Chrome brower. https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jacsau.2c00048

Firefox is blocked by some websites, saying it is a bot, have you had this happen?


You have been blocked. Why? Something about the behaviour of the browser has caught our attention.

There are various possible explanations for this:

   You are browsing and clicking at a speed much faster than expected of a human being.
   Something is preventing JavaScript from working on your computer.
   There is a robot on the same network (IP XXX.XX.X.XXX) as you.

Hello, I have 3 PCs. One is Windows 10, Firefox 131.0.3 One is Windows 10 firefox 131.0 One is windows 11 firefox 131.0.3

All 3 PCs are running BOINC, using the remaining CPU power up to 100%

On PC W10 + FF 131.0 and PC W11 + FF131.0.3 BOINC and FF share the processor time up to 100% On the PC W10 + FF 131.0.3 when FF is dispatched, no processor time is assigned to BOINC and CPU busy is no more 100%. This situation occurs frequently and can last several minutes.

Hello,

My Websocket server recently started failing in Firefox. After some investigation it looks like the issues began in v130. The Websocker server works in all other browsers and in Firefox version <= 129. After much troubleshooting it seems like a change was made to the TLS negotiation when making a Websocket connection. I was able to temporarily solve the problem by forcing TLSv1.2 instead of negotiating the strongest TLS available. Was there a recent change to how TLS is negotiated when making a wss Websocket connection?

The YOROI extension (crypto wallet) used to work well on Firefox but it has stopped working on all our Mint 20.2 compuers and whatever we do we can't get it to work in Firefox. It works OK in Chrome - but I want to continue to use it in Firefox as I always used to. Could it be something to do with Firefox not supporting WebUSB? What can we do? Would a later version of Mint (say Mint 21) solve the problem? Thank you.

A few months ago, I noticed that Firefox has become very slow. When I looked at my task manager a minute ago, it showed 2,500 MB of memory usage and very high power demand after I had opened only three websites plus yours. I took the computer - a desktop using Windows 10 - to a technician who took $140 to tell me that he "cleaned it up and everything should be faster now." It is not any better for it.

How can I get my computer to work in Firefox as well as it does in Edge?

Thank you, Barry

A 'noisy' tab is preventing auto-sleep ('powercfg /requests' shows audio activity), Firefox doesn't ID which tabs have active audio. Searching for help only provides useless information, instructing me to click a non-existent button: "Visit the tab tray by tapping the number next to the address bar". I have no such button, only a 'taggle reader view' button.
