How do I either stop videos from autoplaying or auto repeating? Either one would be a blessing but I've searched and cannot find an effective way to do it. Blocking in Firefox is not effective. Mostly it seems in facebook, but I believe it repeats all the time on all sites.

For the last 2 weeks Mozilla has asked to update every day. Very short updates. Now I'm concerned if they are real. I can't find any sort of "update schedule" and understand it varies depending on use. I use firefox every day and every day there is an update. What's going on?

Try as hard as I may from all the Help screens, I cannt find a solution to how to permanently pin the Bookmark Toolbar to the side of the screen in my version of Firefox which is 129.0.2 in Windows 11. The option to pin the toolbar where the user wants it to appear seems to have vanished. Am I correct?

The only options I can find in Firefox now are Show Toolbar and it will only appear across the top of the screen (unless I Ctrl+B); Show in new tab or Hide.

Ctrl+B will bring up the tool bar, say to the left, but when Firefox is closed and re-opened there is the need to Ctrl+B again to redisplay the toolbar. My experience of Windows 10 was that everytime I opened Firefox my side bar for Bookmarks automatically appeared because I had always been able to pin it there.

Please help to restore the function, if it hasn't been removed through updates.

Thank you.

We use Firefox Developer Edition in our Enterprise and any auto-update (whether it be the background process or 'check for updates' button) fails to work, due to much of mozilla.org being blocked by our internet security. I want to be able to provide our security team with a definitive URL that the auto-update process uses.

I found mentions of aus5.mozilla.org but in testing this has proved not to be used.

When I enter to the website it shows the labels of the cities, countries and all the elements on the map, until it finish loading, then everything desappears. So, after two second you have the map empty with the icons and roads but no name of city or any other element in it, it only happens when using Firefox.

For a while now, websites will refuse to load unless I re-launch the browser or swap between troubleshooting mode and regular. To further clarify, the problem persists with both troubleshooting and regular modes. The website itself does not matter, as it happens with every website. When re-launching the browser the website works fine, but the issue might come back on a refresh. Furthermore, it might take several reboots to load the website. I have tried half a dozen different things from a clean install of Firefox to using a few recommended tweaks to the config.

Firefox Version 129.0.1 64 bit Windows 11. When I am in a New Tab, and I do a search (Google is my search engine) the results do not display. I type in search words, I hit Enter, and the screen does a very quick blip, and then nothing. This is very frustrating. I have wasted too much time trying to figure it out. It does not do it all the time, but most of the time. This started with the latest Firefox update. Is this a Settings issue?

Hi!

First of all, mods, if I chose the wrong category and this had to go in "customize settings and preferences" feel free to move it :)

So, for several reasons I decided to completely disable SSL and the old TLS 1.0 and 1.1. I still didn't decide if TLS 1.2 is still important or it's enough with 1.3 so for now I am leaving them both. I did this system wide, with PowerShell, following the instructions in THIS THIS article.

But then there's Firefox. I don't know if Firefox can establish SSL (or old TLS) connections despite the system "ban". But I came across THIS THIS article about how to enable TLS 1.3 in Firefox and when I went in about:config and I typed "security" I saw that there are a lot of voices with SSL and a lot more about TLS than just the security.tls.version.max mentioned in that article, so I am here to ask you what to do to be 1000% sure that all SSL and older TLS are completely disabled in Firefox, and that only TLS 1.3 is enabled.

If you have reasons to believe that disabling TLS 1.2 is not a good idea, let me know, but in THIS THIS article I've read that 1.3 is much better and it's anyway backwards compatible with 1.2 in case some server only supports 1.2, so I decided to leave only 1.3.

Thanks!
