Firefox Community Forum

'bold text YouTube is "acting insane, sound plays/picture is frozen. Can't pause it. Also can't start it! Ads play on without option to skip. I got some notice that YT was changing something, I think it is broken. I managed to get a video to play on MS Edge, but I normally do not use that. I cleared cache and ALL of that, rebooted computer, etc. connection is good. Searches are fine on firefox, Other sites are fine on firefox. . IT IS YOUTUBE! It is SO bad that now with my mouse, the arrow and hand are NOT showing up on the actual screen where video plays. Right now on here it is fine. but on youtube? no.

I cannot find the menu item on my mobile device to sync my Firefox account. When I select "menu" it doesn't have that as an option; it only shows me other topics I have used Firefox to search.

I'm trying to use the built-in VPN for Firefox, but when I try to click the "Get started" button, nothing happens. Is the service simply not available for me yet? I live in the United States, for reference.

helloooo

i am experiencing an issue with firefox where backup (Firefox Backup) is not working since version 148.0

problem: - when I try to create a backup, i get the error: “Hmm, there was a problem with the backup. Please try again in a few minutes.”

what I have already tried: - enabled and disabled backup password - changed the backup folder/location - cleared browser cache - tested across multiple updates (issue persists)

- backup is enabled, but I cannot create one - the error occurs every time - restarting the browser and system did not help

I HAVE FINISHED SET-UP BUT I AM STILL BEING PROMPTED TO FINISH, WHY FIREFOX IS MY DEFUALT BROWSER IHAVE IMPORTEDTED SETTINGS AND MY SYNC IS COMPLETE UNDER MY PROFILE

Fox version 150.0 is consuming all available system RAM after the latest update. What's going on? I've been using this browser for years, and this is the first time I've encountered such problems! The tips in optimization guide aren't helping!

I have been using Firefox for a number of years. I use it with Windows 10. My internet connectivity has recently degraded to the point it is no longer viable. It is painfully slow and I keep getting "time out' notifications. I contacted my service provider and they suggested using a different browser. Although I was skeptical, I installed Chrome on my machine and tried it. Connectivity is back to normal. Why? What happened to Firefox? It shows as being up to date. How can I fix it?

Youtube playback causes Firefox to freeze up. Just the tab that is playing, not the entire browser. I have reinstalled firefox, used recommended settings and I have no addons or extensions. Other browsers work fine and there is nothing wrong with my computer. It is only firefox. This has been happening for about a month now.

Search open tabs in Firefox not working it worked some time ago but now not.

I have intense work with multiple tabs so it was very handy but I lost it, I expect some about:config adjustment hints.

Since v.145, comments have been blocked on some forums for me. https://thetyee.ca is one I use regularly, and the comments are blocked. (This is a Coral Comment site.) The spinning wheel just spins (see image 2 below) and sometimes resolves as "blocked" (see image 1 below).

On rare occasions if I delete all cookies, restart the PC and the browser in a private window only, I can sometimes get comments to come up with a "login page" that successfully lets me login, and keeps the link open for a few pages for that session only, but when I open a new session, comments are blocked again. They just don't appear. when I am successful, it looks like image 3 below.

I never adjust settings, and only occasionally delete cookies, so I've looked into other help articles in the forum that have pointed out enhanced tracker protection might be a problem: I have whitelisted all the sites I use for ETP but only one or two now sometimes work properly (using disqus) while the others do not. Tyee support is unable to help - they say very few have made any complaints.

There are other sites that limit my access or functionality now because they say "You have an ad blocker installed". I don't have an adblocker installed. I've never installed an adblocker. But that's secondary. Perhaps if we get this issue solved (due to a setting?), that second issue will go away too. Or maybe not.

I see it's simply not possible to get rid of ETP. Do I have to get rid of Firefox?

The last two days my internet performed poorly, but it worked (in between crashes). Now it took me 12 computer restarts and hours of patience to get to this page and plead for any sort of internet. I can't visit any page with moving imagery or it will crash, it won't start any video if there would be sound on it, stating that I don't have permission or simply not doing anything at all. I can't even finish the news-program I was watching on public acces tv. Please fix this!!! I'm desperate! I need to watch instructions for school and see my work-roster and I can not acces any of those pages anymore.

When i start to use Firefox and browse internet, usage of ram memory slowly rise up to max, using 5-10 GB, i disabled AI, same problem, don't know if something with Youtube causing this, every open tab is consume too much of ram memory. I think it started yesterday or day before. Installed again Firefox, same problem, if i have more open tabs, quickly rise consumption or ram, i have 16GB. Now 4 tabs, FB and 3 Youtube, more than 5.6BG. In Task Manager shows Firefox (20), 20? only 4 tab open and ram rises.

Firefox updated my browser to 150/ 64bit After update now I cant drag and drop from Windows Explorer file widow to my Synology NAS File window. Ive been doing this for years. I brought up Windows Explorer window logged into my Synology NAS brought up the file window and dragged a file from windows explorer file window and it worked fine. So I know the update killed the drag and drop. Anyone have an idea how to fix. I looked in Firefox settings didn't see any way to fix.

After an update minutes ago, Firefox immediately crashes on startup and crash reporter launches Rebooted computer. Launched firefox from command line with -safe-mode and -purgecaches

I use Windows 10 and have Nord VPN. I installed Firefox VPN and turned off Nord. Now when I open Firefox all the articles are gone. If I turn on Firefox VPN all the sites say "Unable to find proxy server", I went to settings network and selected "no proxy" but still the same. Is there a way to fix it if not how do I delete Firefox VPN. Thanks.

I keep getting stopped trying to access my paypal account. FF is asking for a pin number. I didn't even know I had one. When I try to change it, it tells me find the sign in options but I can't locate it. Why oh why is this asking me for this verification.

I've just tried turning on the free VPN, but websites like Imgur are still detecting that my connection is from the UK and are blocking my access. I understand this shouldn't happen, and doesn't happen with other VPNs.

Hello,

My firefox has been updated to include the new VPN feature, which I'm very excited for!, but when I click on the VPN button on my toolbar, and after I sign in, I can see the "Turn on VPN" button but nothing happens when I click on it. It's been like this for a couple of weeks now and I just assumed it was something that would be fixed eventually, knowing that this feature is still in beta. But now that it's been a few weeks with no change, I thought it best to actually reach out and bring it to your attention.

Thank you in advance for your time!

Kind regards, pflippflop09
