Firefox Community Forum

I love Firefox, I use it on all my devices. And daily I access facebook.com on this browser, it's been working flawlessly - until yesterday. Yesterday, using Firefox (ver 130.0.1) on my Windows 10 PC, I tried accessing a FB page which I visit sometimes: https://www.facebook.com/OpenOscillator

Rather than reaching that page, I got a white screen with this error message: "Sorry, something went wrong." And since then, even visiting the Facebook home page (or any other FB page) has the same error message.

Today I tried the same thing on my Mac (OS 14.3), using Firefox and logging into facebook.com, which worked as usual. But when I went to https://www.facebook.com/OpenOscillator, I got the same error message: "Sorry, something went wrong." And as happened on my PC, now on my Mac I can't access any FB page on Firefox.

And just to mention, I've rebooted both the PC and the Mac, yet this problem persists on both devices.

Trying this same exercise on Edge on my PC does not have this problem. Nor does it happen when doing this on Safari on my Mac.

So, this problem has only been happening on Firefox. I can no longer access facebook.com with Firefox. Do you guys have any ideas how to solve this?

Helpful to know: Do you have the same outcome if you visit this FB page: https://www.facebook.com/OpenOscillator

Thanks for your assistance! Steven

Hello all

There was a pop-up on my Mac'S Firefox asking if I allow Firefox access to my local network devices. I clicked on 'No' And obviously now I can't access for example my router's webpage or any other webpage fromo any devices on my local network. How I can switch it back? Internet access is working fine.

Many thanks, Bogdan

I use Google search and do not like the AI overview feature. In the Chrome, Edge, and Opera browser I've added an extension that blocks the AI. What I've noticed when I use FF I see no AI results when using Google search and I've not added an AI overview block extension. Is there something different about FF that prevents AI results from showing without the need for an extension? I look forward to your comments. Thanks

I currently can't stream anything, and this keep getting this message: Widevine Content Decryption Module provided by Google Inc. will be installed shortly,but it never installs.

I have a macbook air and am currently running macOS Sequoia version 15.0.1.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, removing extensions, clearing cache and data, unchecking and then checking back again the reproduce drm protected content but nothing has worked.

At some point Firefox stopped allowing me to drag tabs or bookmarks around. This includes moving tabs around in their order, dragging a tab into a new window, dragging tabs into bookmarks, moving bookmarks around in the browser. I can't drag them around in 'manage bookmarks' either. I can still open and create bookmarks; they are simply much more difficult to place where I want them.

I believe this happened with the last update but it's not a feature I use all that often so it could be older.

I have opened Firefox in safe mode and had the same issue. I have turned off the computer several times since this began.

Any help would be appreciated.

In recent weeks when I open my Macbook and go to https://meet.google.com, the page that loads says "404. That’s an error. The requested URL was not found on this server. That’s all we know." The issue is only on Firefox and not Chrome or Safari. When I see the error page, I look at the URL and it has the word "unsupported": https://meet.google.com/unsupported?meetingCode=landing&ref=https://meet.google.com/landing

So I dragged firefox to the trash, reinstalled and the issue persisted. I do not have a VPN. I'm using my own Wifi at home. If I switch to my desktop computer (m2 mac ultra) and go to the same Google Meet URL, I don't get a 404 error on firefox, however no one can hear my microphone any more as of 1 month ago, when I didn't have this issue in the past and I've done everything that everyone has told me to (in order to fix it) and nothing has worked.

Yahoo isn't loading at all for me, more specifically guce.yahoo.com. I have managed to get into the login.yahoo.com page and log in but after the log in process it goes to the first page again and gives me the same "The connection has timed out". I just installed the browser and this might make me not use it ngl. I have tried both clearing cookies and troubleshooting mode.

I have 6 websites that I currently cannot sign into using Firefox. Support tells me to use those two crap browsers Chrome and Edge. I end up using Edge because it is embedded in my computer and I cannot delete. I will not install Chrome and have put on Avast Secure Browser and CClean browser. Both are just Chrome with a new gooey. My Father is also having the same trouble. Most of the sites are for Utilities and rewards programs. Avast is also blocked. Are you aware and working on getting this fixed?

Running Firefox 133.0.3 on Windows 10 22H2

The last week or so, when I try to download my photos from iCloud, Firefox blocks the download, saying it contains a virus or malware. Of course it does not - it's a zip file of screenshots! Running a scan on the folder once unzipped confirms there is nothing malicious in it. Can you fix that please?

I can't watch youtube videos because the player is hidden idk, i just see blank space in the place where the player should be, but in private window youtube works. What happened and what should i do to fix this?

As the title states, certain media elements within Firefox refuse to play with audio, but only with frustrating inconsistency. For example, any videos on Youtube are fine. Any videos on Reddit are fine. But many videos, most commonly on boorus and streaming sites I cannot name here, will not play. The volume on the video slider is all the way up, the Firefox application is not muted, the site is not muted, and the tab is not muted. The only thing that makes those videos play audio is if I left click on them to open them in another tab by themselves. While it solves the issue, it's still an extremely inconvenient way to go about my browsing. I know for a fact that this is a Firefox problem because those same videos on those same sites work perfectly fine within other browsers. Please, does anybody know of a solution to this issue?

MacOS 14.6.1 Firefox 31.0.3 (aarch64)

I have a long (19000px) table with a sticky row at the top. On Safari or Chrome it works fine. On Firefox it works for around 800 px and then becomes 'unsticky'.

Is this a known behaviour?

Since 141 update I have constant problems with youtube. Page does not load at all or loads only partially. Icons on sidebar are broken, youtube logo is black. I tried disabling ublock and greasemonkey but it did not help. Refreshing page multiple times and using ctrl+f5 sometimes helps but issue returns often, every few videos/visits. Clearing cookies helps but only for few hours and then issue returns.

Is it related to WebGPU support that was supposed to be added in 141? Can I disable it somehow?

my extensions got unpinned and the new tab button is gone, the tab overview is gone, the extension button is to the left of the address bar, the back and forward buttons are to the left of the address bar, the back and forward button are swapped, WHY.

In the screenshot i pinned the 3 extesions i use again, they were unpinned before

With reference to my question just posted, also now when I click on my Firefox browser, the Yahoo search engine seems to take over and it won't let me come out of it. Mark

When i log into Instagram, Gmail, or Facebook i get a message that says "this browser no longer supported. Update to newer version" i am running 132.0.2. i have been using Firefox since version 0.7 and still prefer FF to all other browsers.

Got a number of devices with Firefox installed, all of them Firefox Sync'ed. Most of them on rapid release version cycle and a couple of them on ESR.

When https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/website-translation it provided a clean way to browse entire pages automatically translated. Problem is that the translate option is not there.

I'm at work right now on ESR 115.15.0 / Windows 10 64-bit and no translate icon appears on the address bar when checking German or French or Japanese sites (for example). Comparing my own browser settings to another, non-ESR FF it seems that on ESR something is missing. There is only a reference "Firefox Translations" and a "Exceptions" button to it. Check the attached image.

Can't tell if this is a bug or a feature (ie ESR lacks Firefox translate).

Netflix says I need the the latest version of firefox. At the top of the screen it says "Firefox is installing components needed to play the audio or video on this page. Please try again later"

As far as I can tell nothing is installing and I need to actually do something to resolve this issue. Unfortunately I don't know what. Please help me resolve this issue.

I'm trying to view my routers page at http://192.168.43.1.

Even though I type the full address with http: at the start Firefox automatically inserts https//.

This doesn't work as the router doesn't have a secure page.

I've gone into Firefox settings and found HTTPS-Only Mode is not enabled.

How do I view an HTTP site?

Hello! Several days ago I had to make a new Win10 computer account and being that when my FireFox reinstalled all my settings from my FireFox Account after signing in I noticed the small search bar at the top where you could use a different search engine was missing. I have been racking my brain to figure how to get it back. Could someone be so kind as to let me know how do I get the small search bar back at the top. Thank you.

Respectfully, Don
