Firefox Community Forum

I have had multiple sites ask me to disable my ad blocker. I can't find an ad blocker in my extensions. Badger, which I do have, says it is not an ad blocker! Some of these sites, such as Rotten Tomatoes, are sites I use frequently! Help!

I use FF on desktop. Recently, I've run into a problem. My desktop browser will not load any pages... except Youtube. Youtube loads just fine, I can open a video or browse channels or community pages normally. I have fully reset my browser, reinstalled it, and disabled extensions. Other browsers on my PC will work normally. I have very few extensions: Sponsorblock for Youtube, uBlock Origin, and Facebook Container, that's it. I am not using a proxy or VPN. Troubleshoot mode did not fix the issue. I'm not the most tech savvy, so I apologize if I missed anything here.

Any insight is appreciated. Thanks!

Today I've noticed some horizontal lines on youtube videos. Upon further investigation, I've traced it to a single div element:

The base64 encoded image is the lines I'm seeing.

Initially after starting a new private session and navigating straight to youtube.com I had no lines. Then in that private session same element doesn't have an image:

What's odd about this is if I opened a private window and copy pasted the same video URL I would get the lines. After testing multiple times I started getting the lines even after navigating straight to youtube.com.

So I did another test: changed my IP with a VPN in a private session. Navigated straight to youtube.com, watched multiple videos without any lines. Then I logged in to my account and boom, the lines are back...

Opening the same video on google chrome browser I get a smooth gradient line image:

The browser is functioning as intended, but youtube is intentionally making their website unusable. What the f###? I have youtube premium, adblocker disabled on their website.

Hi,

I have been having this issue with Firefow & Youtube for some weeks now.

What happens is that I launch a video, it plays well, but after 1 minute it stops. No buffering, no download of the next chunk of the video, nothing. It just stops. I have disabled all the addons I use and it changes nothing; in some cases, it stops the video from launching.

> Why this is not network related : on the same computer, at the same time, I can watch YT videos on Opera. Without issues. With uBlock origin enabled. And VPN. > Why I believe this is browser (ie. not computer) related : I have another computer, on the same network, that has the exact same issue. With less extensions, and no VPN. And again, when using Opera, YT works as intended, with uBlock origin.

There might be a setting related to video buffering to change, or something, I do not know. But this is beginning to be infuriating.

Is this a Google' crackdown on browsers not beging Chrome? Or am I an isolated case?

Thanks in advance !

I am having difficulty trying to view a website. I receive the following message whenever I try to view this website:

"Suspected Phishing This website has been reported for potential phishing.

Phishing is when a site attempts to steal sensitive information by falsely presenting as a safe source."

There are two buttons beneath this message, the one on the left which reads "Learn More," the one on the right which reads "Ignore & Proceed." Yet when I click on either of the buttons a blank white page appears.

The web address in the URL field also changes from the website I originally selected to the following:

https://www.smartredirect.de/redir/clickGate.php?u=IgKHHLBT&m=1&p=8vZ5ugFkSx&t=vHbSdnLT&st=&s=&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.brutaltops.com%2F&r=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2Fsearch%3Fq%3DBrutalTops.com%26sca_esv%3D9a8e8f6bd3ba345e%26source%3Dhp%26ei%3DHMO2Z6SJBaqWwbkP7JzXUA%26iflsig%3DACkRmUkAAAAAZ7bRLHc87-cSI48xaawgAj9EjL-Nm71U%26ved%3D0ahUKEwikh43Vx9GLAxUqSzABHWzOFQoQ4dUDCBM%26oq%3DBrutalTops.com%26gs_lp%3DEgdnd3Mtd2l6Ig5CcnV0YWxUb3BzLmNvbUjNa1CbCliBWXABeACQAQCYAW-gAfcKqgEEMTYuMbgBDMgBAPgBAZgCCaAClwaoAgrCAgoQABgDGOoCGI8BwgIKEC4YAxjqAhiPAcICERAuGIAEGJECGNEDGMcBGIoFwgILEAAYgAQYkQIYigXCAg4QLhiABBixAxjRAxjHAcICBRAuGIAEwgIREC4YgAQYsQMY0QMYgwEYxwHCAgsQLhiABBjRAxjHAcICCBAAGIAEGLEDwgIXEC4YgAQYkQIYsQMY0QMYgwEYxwEYigXCAgUQABiABMICCxAAGIAEGLEDGIMBwgIIEC4YgAQYsQPCAg4QLhiABBixAxiDARiKBcICCxAAGIAEGJIDGIoFwgILEC4YgAQYsQMY1ALCAhEQABiABBiRAhixAxiDARiKBcICFBAuGIAEGJECGLEDGIMBGNQCGIoFwgIREC4YgAQYkQIYxwEYigUYrwHCAg8QABiABBixAxgKGEYY-QHCAgoQABiABBixAxgKwgINEAAYgAQYsQMYgwEYCsICBxAuGIAEGArCAgcQABiABBgKwgIFEAAY7wWYAxPxBQrZJeqRYy6tkgcDNi4zoAeUYg%26sclient%3Dgws-wiz

Why would I not be able to view this website (and others too) with Firefox but am able with Chrome? I want to be able use Firefox, as Chrome will not allow use of an extension that Firefox will.

Please tell me how this problem may be fixed.

Youtube is nonfunctional on firefox as of April 29 2025. It was all working fine last night, then I woke up to no youtube. It loads the website as a blank screen. Videos can be accessed by going directly to their URL, but no recommendeds load in, no comments section, even the title and channel information is unavailable. I would say none of the buttons work, but there are no buttons to test. It works fine in Chrome still. I know it's not my extensions because I tried removing them all, and it didn't fix it. I know it's not my cache/cookies, because I cleared that too and it didn't fix it. I know it's not on Youtube's end, because it works fine in Chrome. I know it's not an update issue, because I updated my browser and it didn't fix it. Please. I want to be able to use youtube in firefox. Please help me fix this thing. I have attached photos, but I suspect they'll be more demonstrative of the problem than useful for troubleshooting.

For some time now I have not been able to access any website secured with Captcha verification. My browser doesn't recognize that I'm a human and keeps going back to square one. Importantly: this problem does not occur in other browsers. However, I would prefer to stay with Mozilla, so it will be nice if something can be done with it. I didn't change any settings, I didn't change hardware, I didn't reinstall Mozilla, so that's not the problem. I've looked through my security settings and don't see anything that would help in this case. Especially since these are websites that I had previously accessed and logged in without any problems.

WHEN I SIGN INTO MY OUTLOOK ACCOUNT, FIREFOX IS BLOCKING MY CONNECTION. IT WILL NOT CONNECT TO SECURESERVER.NET. I CANNOT ACCESS MY E-MAILS IN FIREFOX CURRENTLY. PLEASE HELP! ALL THE TECH PEOPLE SAID IT IS THE BROWSER????

I AM HAVING THE PROBLEM ON THE OTHER COMPUTER. I THINK THIS PC IS O.K.

I am not using any extension, my data clears automatically every 24 hours. I have issues using websites and am told I need to clear my cache or check my extensions. It's neither of these. What is wrong?

Suddenly today (April 30) when I try to go to Yoube home page, I get a blank (see the picture). But if I try in a private window, it works.

I see Youtube has re-designed its home page - maybe that's part of ther problem.

Is there a setting I can change?

I'm a therapist and within the last week (maybe since an update?) when I try to do a telehealth session from any website - Ensora Mental Health (my EHR), Simple Practice, Sessions by Psychology Today, Google Meet, Zoom - the client can see me but can't hear me, and I can hear them but can't see them (black screen).

I've checked all video and microphone permissions, Microsoft and all drivers are updated and mic and camera are functioning (they can see me). I tried changing the enhanced tracking to add exceptions for the sites (didn't work).

Please advise.

Codice di errore F7701-1003

Firefox version 137 browser update gives errors in web application when submitting form - ns_error_net_empty_response, and does not load js libraries - NS_binding_aborted

When I try to sign into yahoo account it says the following:

Something's gone wrong We may be having trouble with your connection. Connecting your device to Wi-Fi could help fix the issue or try again later. If you were using an app, close this page. Otherwise, start over.

the only way I can sign in is to change my password. If I log out and try again to log in it does the same error.

I don't know what the problem. When I go to the Al-Jazira website, the front page come up briefly, then goes blank to an empty pages display. https://www.aljazeera.com/ still shows in the address bar, but the page is empty. If I access the site in MS Edge, it works as expected. Where should I look to fix this in settings?
