Forum d’assistance Firefox

Hello - I've been unable to stream Twitch content on Firefox 94 for the last day or so, however, the issue impacts Youtube and Vimeo live feeds as well.

1. No outages in my area (Twitch works fine on my phone) 2. Tried Firefox in Troubleshoot mode (which disables all extensions) Twitch still broke. 3. Tried Incognito and Troubleshoot mode, Twitch still broke. 4. Cleared cookies and cache, plus Incognito and Troubleshoot mode, Twitch still broke. 5. Tried a different browser, Twitch works fine on Edge 6. I tried all of the above using a 4G Hotspot instead of my fibre connection, same issue

I’ve done some side by side testing of Edge and Firefox today, streaming the same content on each at the same time. Twitch runs fine on Edge. Twitch loads on Firefox and the chat looks fine. The chat arrives simultaneously on Edge and Firefox, it’s just the audio and video won’t play on Firefox. The audio and video don’t work on the ads either.

Watching a Youtube game stream side by side on both Edge and Firefox gives a slightly different result. Again, the chat feed is almost simultaneous, maybe a fraction faster on Firefox. However, while the audio and video run fine on both Edge and Firefox, there is a 15 second lag on Firefox. Both are playing full 1080 video.

So there is a definite issue with how Firefox is buffering audio/video content. The 15 second delay between the audio video stream and the chat I am seeing today with Youtube is what I was experiencing on Twitch over the weekend. I noticed it on streams that include a chat window on the video. I wasn’t overly concerned about the latency issue, as long as I had audio and video. Both of those stopped working for Twitch on Firefox yesterday. It could be that Twitch has slightly richer content than Youtube and that’s why Twitch isn’t working at all on Firefox?

OK, so I’ve installed the Twitch app for Windows and done some side by side testing with that. Interestingly, the app has a couple of seconds latency over Edge but it works fine. I shall use the app for now but would prefer to use Firefox if the buffering/streaming issues can be resolved.

I'm trying to disable some pop-up blockers but I can't even find where "tools" are.

I like to ] further comment if this is going to Firefox Support. This is the most complicated mess I've ever dealt with.

Hi,

I would like the history from a specific date: 22/08/2020 (AEST).

I can see the "most recent history" but there is no date attached.

Could I please have a time stamped list all the websites that I visited on the 22nd to the 23rd of August, 2020?

Kind regards, Kade

Hi. Starting somewhat recently, Firefox has been getting in the way of me downloading certain PDFs which I know to be fine but which it thinks are insecure or a security hazard. I'd like to disable this security "feature" permanently. How can I do this? Thanks!

My old computer had issues and I could't fix it, so I got a new laptop after some time. When tried to login to Firefox, I couldn't remember my account password. So I used the password reset option to reset password.

Now I don't have access to my old saved passwords which I saved in my old computer.

I have the hard disk of the old/ damaged computer, so I'm looking for a way to copy/ restore my logins/ passwords saved from the old computer hard disk to my new laptop.

Both computers are Windows 10. Any help?

Hi, I had to erase all of my data in order to set up a fresh operating system on my computer. I made a firefox account and synced all my data before wiping my computer. I want to restore my previous sessions I was using before erasing all of my data, however can't figure out how. Thanks.

Since the most recent update Firefox is constantly freezes at random times. It happened during visiting my bank site, reading an article on NPR site, opening an email, etc. None of the freezes happened during start up, but the showed up at various times some within 10 minutes of browsing time. some after 3 hours of browsing.

I want to use Google Docs dictation in Firefox, and I think it can be done, but the standard hotkey (Ctrl-Shift-S in Chrome) doesn't work. Is there another hotkey in Firefox, or can I remap one? I'm using the Microsoft dictation saddle in Firefox and it's screwing up constantly. thx/KC

Every time I change my theme and close my browser and come back in it resets my theme. Though my theme says it is enabled. I have no idea what is causing this accept that it happens when I log in to my account. I have uninstalled my Firefox and cleaned out all registry and appdata folders for a clean install. I then re-install fresh and login to my account and BAM my theme resets every time I restart my browser. I have also closed all logins in my account.

As you can see in the image my theme is enabled but the theme is not showing. When I disable and re-enable it it will come back but when I close my browser and open it back the theme shows for about 2 seconds but reverts to this theme you see in the screenshot.

I hope this makes sense, this is very confusing.

First, I am 78 and never used porn emails. For years, I did not receive porn emails. Some time ago, I started to get them in my spam box. You can't block them since they change their email address each day. Can't Mozilla in some way block them ? I could change my email address but so many friends and business have it.

Firefox browser fails EVERY TIME ON ALL SITES to load the video player: Need a fix for this

Quoting Error Msg = "Sorry, the video player failed to load.(Error Code: 101104)"

Funny WHY YOU ALL DON'T WORK BUT... Safari works just fine every time

And Firefox DOES NOT, NOT EVEN 1 TIME

I keep a few windows open normally - each window has a number of tabs.

Every time I close firefox, whether it's to restart my mac or just to quit and re-open the application, every window opens up but I cannot see it. When I click the firefox icon in my dock, it shows the list of windows, but when I select one, nothing comes up on my screen.

The workaround I have found is to select the window and then go to the menubar and select VIEW > Enter Full Screen. This then maximizes the previously invisible window. I can then minimize the window and adjust the size as I prefer.

Why is this happening? This has been going on for about a year, through various Mac OS updates as well as Firefox updates.

I did a refresh (94.0.1) of Firefox. My main title bar is gone. The bar with the title File, etc. How do I get it back.

I have 3 rows now, one that shows what web site I am looking at, one that you can type in a web site, which also has a search box, one that shows often used web sites Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, Steve

My firefox browser has had issues displaying fonts when I have the "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of your selections above" box checked. Its not all webpages as some have more bolded fonts, but it is more than one site.

I have scoured these forums trying to locate an answer, but for some reason the fonts are still so thin and unreadable. I have even erased all existence of firefox from my computer and reinstalled, but the issue still remains.

Please help me.

In the last few days, I started having multiple web sites blocked with "SEC_ERROR_REVOKED_CERTIFICATE". They work fine with Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge, and I trust them. One example is http://www.wumb.org, a public radio station. I found nothing in Firefox Help to bypass this security flag and go to the page.

If there is a work-around, please make it show up when searching for SEC_ERROR_REVOKED_CERTIFICATE in Firefox Help. If there is no work-around, please add one. Otherwise, Firefox, my favorite browser, will quickly get a bad reputation.

Thanks,

I noticed that Firefox renders regular fonts in bold on some websites.

Uploading screenshots to this thread doesn't seem to work which is why I'm linking them instead. Here you can see a comparison of the search results page of Ecosia in Firefox and Chrome: https://tr.canto.global/direct/image/beu725ieo946fcaqpdfb8chh6m/OqxmN6JWDMGDkEj98IsrfaG_zsM/original?content-type=image%2Fpng&name=Firefox+using+bold+fonts.png

And here are my Firefox fonts settings: https://tr.canto.global/direct/image/lkpqv9oujh4mf7lgq7hhq7vk4m/qO2xuYdMbC02aLGVRCD3n73FMKA/original?content-type=image%2Fpng&name=Firefox+fonts+settings.png

I'm also having the same issue with the support ticket system Freshdesk.

Anyone knows how to fix this?

Thanks!

I am regular viewer of New Zealand Herald, NZ newspaper but the front page does not display correctly with Firefox browser. The images and text overlap on the left side. I am using my win 10 x64 Pro laptop and installed the latest Win 10 x64 Firefox. The website address is nzherald.co.nz Please advise as I did not have this problem with other browsers. Regards - RG

Yesterday I disabled google pop ups from my Firefox account so I could print from my google email and it worked. However; it is not working today. Must I do this everyday?
