Firefox Community Forum

Whenever i change Firefox window sizes(moving to second monitor) or full screen on other videos, random YouTube videos in the background will start unpausing and randomly playing.

A couple of weeks ago my Firefox desktop suddenly stopped loading images correctly. This is especially true for image-heavy websites like Tumblr. Images will either not load or only partially load. It takes several refreshes to get even 75% of images to load properly (including Shift+Ctrl+R). My Internet connection and speed are normal. Weirdly, other browsers loaded images fine at first, but now they're laggy, too? They still work better in comparison, though. And the Internet on my iPhone and iPad are perfectly fine.

I've tried all of these multiple times: Restarting my PC, Internet, and router. Disabling certain extensions (especially those for Tumblr and ad blockers). Restarting in Troubleshoot Mode without extensions. Reducing number of tabs.

I tried the different Profile trick I found Googling this issue to death, and it works, but I want to fix my default profile's issues if I can. Oh, and YouTube is insufferable to watch and crashes the browser, but I suspect that might have to do more with what YouTube's trying to do with ad blockers. Especially since Chrome isn't much better on that count (aside from the crashing).

Edit: This issue started occurring around the time I downloaded the last Firefox update before the latest one. I thought installing the latest one might solve the problem, but it didn't. This might just be a coincidence.

When I go to listen to my KQED passport films, I used to be able to hear the dialogue at less than 50%. Now I need to turn it up to 100% to even vaguely hear anything. I was wondering if there is any way I can make it louder. This happened only recently. Thanks for any suggestions.

I have followed various instructions I found (such as stopping all add-ons etc, starting firefox in safe mode etc etc), but still no joy.

When I click on a link in an email (outlook although not relevant I dont think), Firefox opens a new instance, starts in first tab with my default home page and then .... nothing. If I copy the selected hyperlink and put it in the search bar it works fine. More importantly, if I change *all* my defaults to say Chrome and try, it works fine.

Any suggestions on what I am missing from the various solutions? (Been happening for ages - maybe a year or more I think).

I have noticed that many a times (even with the latest update installed) randomly etrade website does not load. Not sure why? I have deleted the history etc and still...

On the bottom left I see "Read c.evidon.com" the hourglass in the tab.

For months I've been living with an ongoing problem; when I watch some YouTube videos, the entire window will go black while the audio continues. I searched for solutions, which usually suggested the I turn off ad-blocking (which I don't recall turning on) and I was offered instructions to go to "OPTIONS" which doesn't exist on my version of FireFox, and no HELP articles offered a better solution. It seems that lots of people have this problem but MOZILLA ignores it or CANNOT fix it.

But I found a FIX. I no longer have this problem with YouTube. YouTube is a GOOGLE product, so I installed the CHROME browser. I think my FireFox related YouTube problems are now a thing of the past.

I would URGE MOZILLA to recognize the RUMBLE.com app and develope RUMBLE optimization tools similar to those that Mozilla developed for YouTube. RUMBLE is the free-speed answer to YouTube and is NOT owned by GOOGLE. It would be a no-brainer for MOZILLA to strongly support RUMBLE, but they act as though they've never heard of it. WAKE UP, HIPPIES!

My webmail is earthlink.net. Lately it has been unbearably slow. I complained online last week, and suddenly the problem was cleared up. It is way too slow again. (Moving around the internet is fast as always.) What do I do?

Hi,

when I watch 360 videos on youtube, the video glitches. Like it stutters, as if its going back and forth in frames constantly. Before, it did not use to do that. I could watch the 360 videos just fine. I even tried refreshing and reinstalling firefox. It did not work. Please help.

First noticed the issue on 10/03 where while watching some streams on twitcth, I noticed that audio would play smoothly but the video feed was stuttering every other second. Have gone through and made several changes to the about:config section, some of those changes include.

layers.acceleration.force-enabled media.hardware-video-decoding.force-enabled network.http.throttle.version media.suspend-bkgnd-video.enabled

Also checked the stream stats for twitch while watching and compared them to what happens when watching the same stream on chrome and noticed that in Firefox, the FPS counter would completely disappear and my skipped frames would increase by the several thousands.

When compared to Chrome, which has been actively playing the stream for nearly 2 hours plus, my skipped frames has not jumped anywhere near the levels Firefox has.

Changing the latency mode does nothing, stream quality doesnt make a difference. The only way to stop the stuttering is to refresh the page or stream, but this issue occurs every 5-10 minutes when prior to 10/03 issue never occured.

From what I can tell the issue also occurs on Youtube. Issue also gets worse if I were to click onto another Firefox window/tab.

Note: the ss with the massive amount of skipped frames is Firefox, and the other is Chrome.

Note2: Troubelshoot mode didnt help either as after letting it sit longer the same problem would occur

The web site for Pacific Gas and Electric (pge.com) rejects Firefox and lists other browsers that it will accept. Does anyone at Mozilla care about such rejections?

Every time I log on to AXS.com to purchase hockey tickets I click the "get tickets" button and it says "this sale link is not valid".

It does this for any event I try to purchase tickets for.

I do not have this issue with safari.

Since the recent update to Firefox 131, I can no longer use the Billpay option of my TD Bank account. I am able to log into my account without any problems and use all of the options except for Billpay. I want to add that I know I am not alone with this problem as I have seen several others with the same problem but with different banks. It is the Billpay option which no longer works.

As I said, the bank site is fine until I click on "Billpay", Then I get this: begin quote: "Why can't I access Bill Pay?

I have disabled uBlock Origin, Enhanced Tracking, tried Private Mode, Troubleshooting Mode to no avail.

I have also cleared cookies & data. This appears specific to v131. Any suggestions??

I've been having an issue recently with firefox where video players often won't load, and when they do load they are typically very slow to load even at low quality. It is affecting Youtube and Twitch.tv among others, but the videos play fine in Edge. I've tried clearing the cache, refreshing firefox, running in troubleshoot mode, and re-installing to no avail. As far as i can tell it probably started when 131.0 released.

Anytime I click a link in Firefox...whether it is in a search result OR in my email OR on a website...two duplicated tabs open every time. I noticed this was an issue a few years ago but it appears to have returned after the latest Firefox update last week. Has anyone else had this issue? Thank you, Brian

Since the update last week I've had trouble loading pictures or even connecting to some websites. I cleared the cache but still have problems, especially with Facebook, but many others also.

I'm trying to livestream sports and some streams just keep lagging. The audio is fine but the video isn't. The streams work fine on Microsoft Edge. I've tried playing the video with all my extensions disabled and even removed, and also in troubleshoot mode. I've also tried clearing cookies, site data, updating drivers, but nothing works. This also sometimes happens on video hosting sites like streamff.com. Youtube still works for now. This has only been an issue for the last week or so.
