Hi,
When double clicking on an executable file in download library I am prompted to choose application to open it, whereas executable should only be executed, not opened with another application. After a search on the internet I found this https://support.mozilla.org/de/questions/1262025 but chosen solution did not helped (but I had no mimeTypes.rdf file, just handlers.json).
I would be glad if anybody knows how to fix it.
Thanks.

Youtube videos stuttering after updating to firefox 72

After updating to firefox 72 (maybe it was after 72.0.1 - I did not have time to check so fast) videos on youtube started stuttering. When I start video everything seems fine but after a while it starts microstuttering - image is twitching, movement of camera is not fluent.
It looks like it is related to all videos on youtube. I watch mostly 1080p 60fps and these most often cause this issue. Example video: https://youtu.be/1La4QzGeaaQ It is easy to observe it at 1:27 with camera movement and terrain being fluent or not. If I pause video and resume play after few minutes it seems fine for minute but then it starts being choppy again. It does not seem to be related to video quality. I had 0 dropped frames in yt stats. I found workaround - if I set media.wmf.vp9.enabled to false and restart browser with this setting set to false everything is fine. But when I set it to true (like it always was for me) problem starts to occur. However no matter what I set youtube still shows "codecs: vp09". I do not have this problem on microsoft edge. I never had this problem on firefox 71 and I did not add any new extensions since few weeks. It must be new firefox fault, not my hardware or configuration.

Issue on both Amazon Prime and Netflix. I've tried multiple options like removing the Widevine folder from my profile so it downloads another, unchecking the play DRM field and then turning it on again but nothing has helped.
When playing a video from Netflix, the console gives this message, (MediaKeySystemAccess::GetKeySystemStatus(com.widevine.alpha) result=available msg=)
I am on Firefox Quantum 68.0.2 (64 bit) and the Widevine plugin version is 4.10.1440.18

Hi I'm having occasional BSODs at the moment, usually get an IRQL message. Main annoyance though is that after reboot all my tabs in Firefox are gone, including the pinned tabs which I use for common sites. Everything else is fine though. But redoing this every time getting very annoying. Is there something I can do to stop this?

Since the last update to Firefox I am getting a 'Firefox is already running but not responding error message'. This is happening on my Win10 machine - my Win7 box is not having any issues since the update.
I have followed the advice of creating new profiles, checking for locked profiles (and being unable to remove the lock?). I have completely removed Firefox from my system - uninstalled via control panel, deleted all folders in Program Files and Users etc, removed temp files and edited the registry to completely remove any Mozilla/Firefox entries. Completely clean install - as far as I can tell - but the problem re-appears as soon as Firefox is reinstalled. I've tried all this in WIn10 safe mode as well but still no joy.
The issue seems to be that there is a process running that cannot be terminated but I'm unable to kill the single remaining Firefox.exe process listed in task manager. When I try 'taskkilll /IM firefox.exe /F' from the command prompt I get an error that the process can't be killed as an instance of it does not exist. If I try 'taskkill /IM firefox.exe /T /F' it advises that a child process is keeping the main process alive - explorer.exe. Terminating explorer.exe does not free up the firefox.exe process for termination (same error of the instance not existing). The only way to clear the process is to reboot my system, Firefox will then start ok but when closed the issue will occur again.
I'm on my 4th clean install and the issue persists, so any help or advice beyond what I've tried would be appreciated.

There was an automatic update today which was actually important to fix a security breach from what I've read. But with the new update, videos in youtube stutter and it gets kind of unwatchable. Sound is allright, but the picture is really bad. Not the resolution though, it must be something with the processing of the video itself.

Dear Firefox-Users,
I ask for you help to unlock a locked about:config setting.
I am on Microsoft Windows 10. I have this locked setting in about:config
Prefercence Name signon.rememberSignons Status locked Type boolean Value false
and want to change it. I looked for the origin of the setting and decided to delete those files:
* C:/Users/myuser/AppData/Local/Downloaded Apps/Firefox/autoupd/App/Firefox/mozilla.cfg * C:/Users/myuser/AppData/Local/Downloaded Apps/Firefox/autoupd/App/Firefox64/mozilla.cfg * C:/Users/myuser/AppData/Local/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/3fz35m4h.default/cache2/entries/A7076C7AD824717724F23B6C27CC5519300AEFB3 * C:/Users/myuser/AppData/Local/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/3fz35m4h.default/cache2/entries/* * C:/Users/myuser/AppData/Local/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/3fz35m4h.default/startupCache/*
Some of those (mozilla.cfg;cache2/enctries/) files contained the value
lockPref("signon.rememberSignons", false);
.
I am not able to alter the setting signon.rememberSignons; It is still locked. There are no Microsoft Group Policies in enforcement; What holds the setting in locked state?

I'm unable to generate a screenshot of a local HTML file using Firefox's (v60.9.0) [headless mode][1]
Here's the command I'm using:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -P AJ --screenshot test.png "file:///C:/html_export.html"
I've tried with and without a profile and with different numbers of slashes after file. There are no errors in the command line - it just doesn't generate an output.
This command works fine when I substitute the file:// with an external website like:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -P AJ --screenshot test.png google.com
Could it be related to the [redirect bug mentioned here][2]?
Any help is appreciated! Perhaps theres a way to turn on output verbosity for --headless mode?
