Firefox Community Forum

Any time I try to sign into a Microsoft website with my Microsoft account, it defaults to my school account rather than my personal one. Sometimes I click "sign in" and it brings me to the page for choosing an account to sign into, the only option is my school account, leaving me to choose "sign in with another account" and put my email in manually. Sometimes when I click "sign in" it just automatically logs me into my school account and I have to go back to the sign in button to change. Sometimes it seems to just sign me into my school account automatically.

I made a post on the Microsoft Forum about the topic and was told it was most likely a browser issue. I've looked through my saved passwords but didn't find any clues to the issue, perhaps it's related to cookies? But I haven't much confidence clearing them would solve things as this issue has persisted over full OS reinstallations.

The only place I've actually entered the login information for my school account was signing into Outlook, while my personal account I only logged into manually on... some other Microsoft platform, perhaps the account management page. The password for my personal account is remembered, but the data entry forms never autofill; after I type in the email manually it just instantly signs me in.

Thanks.

Settings are set to Open Previous Windows and History upon restart. NO crash(last crash report was 2022). NO update. Opened Firefox today with no tabs, no history, no option to restore. Bookmarks are intact, settings it seems. I am not sure what happened.

After searching and trying to follow several articles - still nothing helped. Looking at Profile - and the 3 choices were from today. Is there ANY WAY to restore previous to today?

Thank you!

I have version 130.0.1. I keep getting popups prompting me to update. I'm skeptical at popups so I go to check what is the latest version at Mozilla.com. They don't display that; they only want to automate an update. I won't do that. I want to see what is being updated and to what version before I download and execute some unknown automated process. Mozilla should know better than try to cloak an update on us. We are the ones that use Mozilla because of all the "automated" trouble and hijacks out there.

1. Close Firefox (FF) with some tabs open 2. While FF is closed the websites are updated 3. Open Firefox, tabs reopen 4. Go to tabs

Expected: Tabs should the latest version of the website (ie the page has been refreshed)

Actual: Tabs are showing the old, previous (cached) versions of the website and not refreshing to show the latest

User has to manuall refresh each tab to see the latest version of the page

Are other people seeing this issue?

Greetings:

As a loyal firefox user I have had to switch to another browser due to bugs that effect the appearance of webpages (background for text shows when it should be transparent). I also have had repeated problems with logging onto sites using Fire Fox 130.0.1. Citizens Bank log in would not work. The first issue is longstanding (see rwu.edu for sample).

Dear and respected ,

As you can see from the screenshot i provided and as you can read from subject of this very annoying issue Firefox new 130 update has changed my URL bar and now stuff are missing to the point that links to Outlook and some other stuff that were in address bar URL because i wanted them there and now they place has been taken by namely foxovizija.blogspot.com and watchonlyfoolsandhorses.com and ajax.nl/shop just because i watched few episodes of fools and horses on that link same goes for foxovizija and browsed some items in ajax fan shop! I WANT DOES LINK GONE FROM MY URL so i can put links that i want to be in there and FF 130 address bar being populated by only the links i want to be there and stay that way! and one more thing i want to get rid of that ugly search with google thing because i don't even use google,further more once all of a sudden in FF 130 MY BROWSER IS MANAGED BY MY ORGANIZATION ? That was never there before this update ,so with all that has been said and screenshot as proof i beg you and plea on your kindness and knowledge to give me guidance how to fix this URL thing first,then how to remove THIS BROWSER IS MANAGED BY YOUR ORGANIZATION and last but not least how to block further FF updates because every new update is worse then the next and just keep pushing the whole browser down the drain ! Thank you very much for your kind,unselfish,professional and knowledgeable support in fixing up this mess

Hi there,

For the last week or so, when I watch Youtube on Firefox, I can't save a video to Watch Later or any other way, and I can't even open the pop-downs to edit my lists. I'm signed in, my ad blockers are off for Youtube, I'm doing everything the same way I've always done it. Thought it was just a brief glitch, but since it continues, I tried the same on the Safari browser today, and had no problems.

There is an error message sometimes; I've added it via screen image.

Can you help me figure out if this is a setting I can easily fix, or requires a fix on your end?

Thank you!

Hi,

Firefox keeps crashing directly at start within seconds. I deleted Firefox and then reinstalled it again with no difference. I took away all my extensions, plugins and so forth. Firefox is updated to the latest version. Reloaded pages and I have minimal programs running in the background. I did malware and virus scans. I still cannot seem to find what the culprit is.

Thanks in advance Louie J

My Firefox has apparently lost Unicode support for Arabic, but only for Arabic: Persian letters (which AFAIK use the same alphabet!) display just fine. The attached screenshots show the problem via Wiktionary excerpts. Note that while the Arabic text appears only as boxes, the Persian, Azerbaijani, Ottoman Turkish, etc. texts all work just fine. It's clearly not a problem with encoding more generally -- languages as rare as Old Persian, Avestan, and the IPA appear normally. For some reason it's only Arabic that's broken.

What's going on here? How can I fix it?

I have been using FireFox for I don't even know how long. 5 years or more. I went to sign in to my broker account and there was nothing in the folder. NOTHING!!!! What the frigging F?

Firefox has started freezing my computer for no reason. At first I thought it was MS trying to get me to reboot so they could install updates, but when I did a hard shutdown and restart, it wasn't. I couldn't use the mouse or keypad.

Nothing on the keyboard worked.

I have my keyboard plugged into a multi-usb adapter, so I tried unplugging it and plugging it into another usb slot, but that didn't work either.

This is an intermittent problem. FF will work fine for weeks or months, then suddenly, it does this.

I've switched to a new profile already, so that's not it.

Is this a new bug? Please don't answer me by suggesting I do things I've already done. TYVM

Hi! When I start browser it took a long time in search engine to find a result. And sometimes not find anything at all. It simply stops searching and the page seems to freeze. Furthermore, in the settings it says that "Your browser is being managed by your organization" and I don't know what that means or which organization it is. There is some document on the link and that's it.

Clicking on a toolbar shortcut, each selection overwrite the existing open tab instead of opening a separate tab. For Example, I opened Facebook and then LIRR, the image below only shows the LIRR tab. The same thing happens in Chrome.

(I was in Customize Toolbar earlier but didn't touch the shortcut tabs and they all still display. If I open a shortcut from my desktop, they open in separate tabs just not from custom toolbar). Images below displays my current settings in what I thought may help.

Windows Version

 OS Name	Microsoft Windows 11 Home
 Version	10.0.22631 Build 22631

Firefox Version: 130.0.1 (64 bit)

I unchecked FF tab settings, Rechecked FF Tab Settings, went to Task Manager and ended FF task, Restarted multiple times, checked for FF updates, ran Malwarebytes Antivirus and Windows Defender, nothing seemed to fix.

Help please, not a super technical person. :P

the past 4 producers have told me they cant hear me on google meet when i'm on firefox. it worked fine forever, then no one could hear me and i reported it a bunch and it got fixed. now the issue is back again and its been like for probably 4 weeks now.

zero issues on google meet when i try it on google chrome. Zero issues with zoom. its only when I'm on firefox's google videochat that people cant hear my microphone. feels like a repeat issue of what happened months ago when the issue wasnt with me. it was firefox. I've written to google, I've written to firefox. They've had me try a bunch of stuff and nothing is working. Can anyone help me???? Issue persisted before I went to macOS sequoia 15.0 and still persists with latest os. Firefox 130.0.1 (64-bit). I've bee trying to find a solution for this for weeks now:

-i've gone to "allow applications to access the microphone" that looks fine -i've done a new profile, didnt work -i've cleared the cache, didnt work -i've turned off ad blocker for that page, didnt work. -i disabled extensions on firefox, that didnt work.

please help!!!!!!!

I'm currently trying to diagnose an issue with my Firefox. Ever since I upgraded to macOS Sequoia on my MacBook Pro, certain stylized/formatted texts in Firefox have not been showing up correctly in the browser. I've attached an example below from YouTube. The part of the stylized title text that says "Playlist" is messed up on the YouTube page, but it's correctly rendered in the tab bar. Pasting the YouTube video title into the search bar renders the text correctly in the search bar, but not in the actual search window or results page. I'm also seeing this issue on Instagram, Twitter, etc., so it isn't just a problem with YouTube/Google. The text renders correctly in Chrome and Safari, so I don't think it's necessarily a problem with my computer.

Here's what I've tried so far to diagnose/fix the issue:

• Quitting Firefox and restarting my computer: didn't work
• Opening Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode: the text remains messed up
• Deleting prefs.js from my profile folder: my Firefox stops working and no pages load, not even the New Tab page
• Firefox Refresh: also did not work
• Creating a fresh Firefox profile: the new profile renders the text correctly, but signing into my Firefox account on the profile causes the issue to come up again
• Uninstalling Firefox completely, reinstalling: the text renders, but once again signing into my account causes the issue to reemerge
• Opening Firefox on my old computer (also MacBook Pro) while signed into my Firefox account: for some reason, the stylized text renders correctly on this computer

I'm at a dead end right now, and would appreciate any help. I could always just create a new profile and forget about it, but this has been driving me crazy for the past few hours. I really don't want to configure all my extensions and browser settings from the beginning, and I hope that I can keep using my original account.

Anyone have any idea what could be going wrong? Thank you!

I have tried everything ... mime video/ogg doesn't work at all. I started my old Angular application in which i had my camera feed shown (it was working like year or two ago).

So i tried to fix it, first it seemed it just need "muted" and "autoplay" set as parameters in <video> HTML tag. But then it just did not worked at all.

Detailed description: So i have tried use [CanPlayType] With params : "video/ogg" - it returned empty string so it is not supported However when i check your documentation here [Ogg containers] it says it is supported ...

I included picture with working stream and this is a tag i used:

(+ in angular i added mentioned muted and autoplay + load() and play() )

I have tried to transcode to this formats too Theora video and Vorbis audio in Ogg container

   <source src="video.ogv" type="video/ogg; codecs="theora, vorbis"">

Theora video and Speex audio in Ogg container

   <source src="video.ogv" type="video/ogg; codecs="theora, speex"">

Based on this documentation https://www.w3.org/TR/2009/WD-html5-20090423/video.html#attr-source-src

And use them in video tag param. like : type="video/ogg; codecs="theora, vorbis"" or type='video/ogg; codecs="theora, vorbis"' did not work.

(This was one that i used before and always:

--sout '#transcode{vcodec="theo",venc=theora{quality=3},vb="",scale="0.25"} :standard{mux=ogg,access=http,dst=":8753"}' 

that worked before)

Then i tried look up some example of code to just see it doesnt work at all (example of guide with not working video/ogg : https://tekeye.uk/html/html5-video-test-page See/search for "3: HTML5 Ogg Video Test" )

Please refer me to bug report or issue report i can provide any additional information.

(PS. this submit page dont have preview ... why ?)
