Firefox Community Forum

Every time I get an update, it scares me. The latest update took uploaded a file using firefly. Could I do it using Chrome - yep - it uploaded my file without any issues. I keep hanging on to firefox but I need to changeover. The constant updates should be be happening.

Unable to log into SSA since the update (it seems however since you are changing this weekly or hourly it seems sometimes I do not know what the version was when I logged in last) I am at 144.0 and can log in without an issue using Chrome. How can this be fixed? From what I can tell it seems to not allow a return from server when you click on LOGIN on SSA <ssa.gov/myaccount/> I can get in with out a problem using Chrome. Please let me know what the fix is.

Hello

I'm facing a frustrating problem. I asked an AI the following:

Firefox Developer Edition (v145.0.2) on Windows 11 host machine can play udemy.com videos but Firefox Developer Edition (v146.0b9) on Windows hyper-v virtual machine cannot.

I suspect the cause is due to either settings or the virtualisation Hyper-V. Other browsers (Edge, Brave) on the virtual machine can play udemy.com videos with no problems.

Gemini said: This is likely caused by a specific change introduced in Firefox Nightly/Beta (v146) regarding how it handles video decoding on Windows.

The Short Answer: Firefox v146 enabled FFmpeg-based hardware video decoding by default on Windows (previously it relied almost exclusively on Windows Media Foundation). This experimental feature often conflicts with the virtualized graphics drivers (Hyper-V Video) used in your VM, causing the player to fail (black screen or error) while audio might still work or the player simply refuses to load.

Is this true?

Whenever I try to access Gemini at gemini.google.com, I keep getting a plain white screen with faded, almost hard to see elements that don't do anything even when typing in the input field. (see attachment 1)

I can access Gemini at Google AI Studio (https://aistudio.google.com/) but the UI is also broken on that site, with wide fonts that overlap each other, making text hard to read (see attachment 2).

Firefox version used: 115.28.0esr (64-bit) OS: Windows 7 64-bit

I visit the nbcnews.com web site frequently. For the past +/- 48 hours, I have been having issues. I can open the home page and scroll from top to bottom just fine. However when I now double-clcik to open a specific article, that article page opens for about one second and is then immediately replaced with a page that says "Something Went Wrong. Access to NBC News is temporarily unavailable. The problem will be resolved as soon as possible." This happens on whatever article I select. It also happens on 2 separate computers.

I e-mailed support at NBC News. Their response was "we cannot duplicate this behavior." They suggested I try another browser. I do not use anything other than Firefox, but I found an old installed copy of Internet Explorer from... 2015. IE opened the NBC News main page and all of the sub-pages just fine.

My Firefox just updated to version 115.30.0esr X64 within the past several days. I am not certain if the NBC News issue happened as a result of that update or not. Has anyone else experienced similar difficulties with this web site or as a result of this latest update?

I am trying to fill out an online loan application form using Firefox on my mobile device. When I upload or edit a file in the form, the changes do not appear or get saved. The form continues to show the old version of the file even after I re‑upload the updated one. I have already tried refreshing the page and re‑logging in, but the issue persists. This problem occurs only on Firefox mobile; when I use other browsers, the upload reflects correctly. Please advise if this is a compatibility issue with Firefox mobile or if there are specific settings I need to adjust.

For MONTHS now I have been unable to log into my BANK & ONLY my BANK.

EVERY TIME I try to log in I keep getting booted to the DAM "secure sign up" page!

Each month I have to get ANOTHER "temporary" passwords so I can get to my account & the next month I CAN'T LOG IN AGAIN & AGAIN I have to go through the entire routine again, temporary password, make up another new password over & over again!!!!!!!!!! I am sick & very tired of this, I only have problems with my BANK log in, no other site, just MY BANK! I suspect the problem is with FIREFOX not the bank. I don't want to use "Edge" because it's CRAP!

I like Playing the Free Casino Games, I'm a Disabled Wounded Warrior. And I play the Games to Help me with my PTSD. but for some reason they won't Load on your Browser. I don't want to go back to Microsoft, but if you can't Fix my Issues. I might be Uninstalling your Browser and go back to Microsoft.

I have my nonprofit's website through Weebly...but recently I cannot get it to come up when I type in the address...I get an error that says PR End of File Error. I am able to access the website through Edge...but I hate Edge!!!!

But it makes me think there is a setting through Weebly that is making Firefox not show the site.

Any help or advice would be great appreciated.

It's 2025, and the only way to select an audio output device when using Google Meet seems to be to change the system's default.

Assuming you listen to music during your day, from your PC, this means switching back and forth a few times during the day, just to switch meeting audio output to the headset for calls.

This doesn't seem to be a problem for Google Chrome (or derivatives). You can choose an audio device there in the web application, and it does remember this over sessions. Awesome.

Guess what I am using for Google Meet then. Not Firefox.

I really like Firefox. I do support Firefox. Also financially. But seeing all kinds of efforts into AI, VPN and other stuff I don't use and care about, but having a basic browser feature missing, I really wonder if that's the right decision.

So please, whoever prioritizes stuff: get the basics, the daily features, working smoothly, before venturing off on new hipster stuff. Because if you miss out on the basics of the browser, you might end up with neither an accepted browser, nor any new hipster stuff.

bold text there seems to be multiple open pages (hidden from view) of my sign-in attempts to get into my outlook email account. it seems that each time i try to sign in, firefox opens several panes and thus, microsoft often blocks my attempt to sigh in to outlook. anyone know how to fix this? thanks very much!!

Hello.

English is not my native language, so I watch all TV series and cartoons in English with subtitles in my native language. Everything was fine until, at some point, one of the most accessible players that provided subtitles stopped displaying them. I thought that the player had broken or that some technical work was being done. But after a week, nothing had changed.

Then I downloaded Chrome, and the subtitles display perfectly in it.

It is in Firefox, specifically this player, that subtitles are not displayed. Other players display subtitles, but they are either unstable or constantly crash. Therefore, they are inconvenient to use and spoil my user experience.

In general, if you have any tips, I would be grateful.

The Firefox browser randomly chops off parts of divs on a local development site using the embla api and vue. On hover the items get rendered again, but disappear when the mouse leaves again. Sometimes only the corners get chopped off, sometimes it's half of a div and sometimes children inside the dom are not being displayed but selectable. According to the inspect element tool, everything should be displayed correctly as it is in chromium and webkit based browsers.

Just recently on Macys website I have started getting access denied messages. I can get onto the site itself but if I click on a product it gives me the access denied when trying to open in new window. Im able to open in edge. Ive cleared Firefox cookies/cache as well as macys restarted and still cant open products links. This is what I get:

Access Denied You don't have permission to access the requested URL on this server.

I updated to Firefox 141.0 and now Google Maps is not working correctly. When I look for directions the map does not show the route. If I go to street view I get a black screen. Google maps is working fine on Edge or Google on the same pc.

Hello,

I'm facing an issue where my microphone does not work in Google Meet when using Firefox, even though I’ve granted all necessary permissions. This problem is specific to Firefox, as the microphone works perfectly fine in Google Chrome.

I prefer using Firefox because of its convenient screenshot features, but this microphone issue has caused major inconvenience during important meetings.

Kindly help me resolve this issue.

Thank you.

Chase bank online is now requiring a later version of Firefox than my Mac will support. I currently have Firefox version 115.30.0esr. Now I am unable to access my account on line to see purchases. What is my work around? I thought there was software that could be installed to "spoof" chase into thinking I had a later version of Firefox. Both of our computers are from 2011 and 2012 so neither one will accept the latest version of Firefox. Many thanks in advance for any advice.
