After updating FF to v. 136.0 in Linux Mint 22.04, I noticed a problem with video playback in Facebook in some posts. A black screen appears with the message "Sorry, there were problems playing this video". The problem also occurs after disabling all plugins and deleting the user.js file from the profile. The problem does not occur after starting firefox in troubleshoot mode, but then hardware acceleration using the GPU does not work (Compositing: WebRender (Software)). I noticed that in version 136 there were some significant changes in the topic of video decoding. https://www.phoronix.com/forums/forum/software/desktop-linux/1524008-firefox-136-beta-finally-enables-hardware-video-decoding-for-amd-gpus-on-linux-by-default I have an NVIDIA GT1030 GPU with 2 MB VRAM.

To display this page, Firefox must send information that will repeat any action (such as a search or order confirmation) that was performed earlier. On platform X, this message is always displayed. I need to adjust something, but I don't know. Please help.

Hello, for some reason after the update I can no longer load the game Elvenar, when I type in the name and then click on any link i'm getting https://en-play.elvenar.com/?lps_flow=after_glps_shim

and the page won't load and I have a black screen as per the screenshot

While opening any Google Drive folder, or by opening docs/sheets start page, none of the contents show up. In the bottom left corner there is an error: "The server has encountered an error. Please try again later." . No amount of "trying again later" works , but through trial and error (disabling modified settings in another profile) i found the culprit of this error message: in about:config setting called network.http.referer.spoofSource was set to true, setting it to false makes the issue i described above disappear.

While my issue is solved, I still don't understand why on every Firefox profile i create this setting is set to true, and whether changing it is a security concern

I updated Firefox to version 138 yesterday(29rd April). I use latest stable version of Linux Ubuntu. Sites itself will work, but top of browser wont. Can click open new tab from +-button, but can't close it.

Browser stops reacting to mouse clicks when browsing (after hours of browsing) and I have to use right-click to navigate on sites.... until I restart browser. I tried to close tab and refresh tab when these problems occurred. Also, this occurs on all sites.

I think this is clearly browser problem(because clicked areas are on browser, not inside tabs), not problem in sites itself, because problem manifested itself after hours of browsing, not immediately.

Edit: I'm not well-versed enough to write Bugzilla-report. Also in 138.0.1-1 version, where I updated 3rd May 2025.

Edit 2: I've added picture of area that stops working. Edit 3: On another picture, can't close "Archaeology" tab, no matter what. Edit 4: Clarified things up.

90% of time I cannot connect to a website unless I go into settings, privacy security and clear the data. Sometimes this doesn't work and I have to go to a different browser. I don't have this issue with other browsers. Why is this happening?

Something changed with one of the Fire Fox updates. I can no longer log into my Spotify account on my home computer. For some reason the login page shows me a log in error. Nothing has changed on my Spotify account settings. The current log in works in Google Chrome and in the the Soptify app. I can use the same log in on my work computer using Fire Fox as well. I don't know what changed with Fire Fox on my home computer and I don't know where to look to resolve the problem. Can you help?

thank you, Scott,

How can I change my setting to allow access to the following site: https://sport365.stream/

Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site.

We can’t connect to the server at sport365.stream.

If you entered the right address, you can:

   Try again later
   Check your network connection
   Check that Firefox has permission to access the web (you might be connected but behind a firewall)

Unable to log into firefox on Mac. It's displaying "Touch your security key to continue with twitter.com". What's the issue, and how do I login plz?

I am unable to open a tel link to see a phone number of a business. I am running iMac, MacOS Sonoma 14.7.5

When I click on open link (see image) it just takes me back to the same pop up

This is frustrating, as I have to use a different browser, or use my iPhone.

Thank you for your help.

I am having trouble accessing a web site that I have always accessed before. I think it is only since the latest Firefox update. website - https://www.startersorders.com/phpBB2/viewforum.php?f=24

The attached message is displayed but if I press the refresh button in Firefox enough times the website loads.

I have tried disabling my Norton antivirus and firewall but it does not help.

Any help would be appreciated.
