I was wonder when the next browser update may be come as I would like to watch YouTube on Firefox again. As it has been over a month since the last update that made it so YouTube doesn't load the video anymore. (I have tried every suggestion online to correct this and nothing)

Hi all, I'm running Gentoo linux on Apple M1 arm64 when after one random reboot firefox started segfaulting. Currently I've updated my system to be on the latest testing versions of packages and it's giving me the following backtrace:

Here is the Gentoo Forums post: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1170250.html Keep note of my last comment there where I realized that I installed firefoxpwa that day and it was working until I reboot in the evening having completely forgotten about firefoxpwa.

Hi Firefoxers, I've recently returned to using Firefox after using Chrome, Vivaldi, and Brave for a long time. Most Firefox things are better than these, but I find the bookmarks handling in Firefox extremely frustrating in comparison.

When clicking the bookmark star, the edit bookmark box pops up. The location dropdown gives me a list of 7 recent folders where I can store the bookmark. If I click "Choose" a tiny little box opens up and, in this extremely cramped space, I have to scroll through hundreds of folders and all their expanded subfolders to find the one I want.

One way other browsers solve this problem is by letting the user right click directly on their bookmarks folders and select "Add bookmark here", which then automatically saves URL, page title etc to that folder. But in Firefox, this just opens up a blank "Add Bookmark" box that doesn't contain any info about the current page, meaning you have to manually enter all the details.

So I'm interested in any help advice about:

a) Increasing the number of recent folders in the location drop-down to make it a lot more than 7.

b) Increasing the size of the "Choose" box so I can see the list of hundreds of folders more comfortable.

c) Stopping all folders being automatically expanded in the "Choose" box.

d) Making Firefox auto-add the details from a current page when clicking "Add Bookmark".

Any help would be appreciated!

Mozilla tab keeps crashing (especially at YouTube) I was wondering if someone can help me find out why!

like tell me how to show the log or something to identify what is doing the crash.

Thank you in advance!

I can't get firefox to play amazon music web page or netflix because it claims to be installing an app which it never completes. I've tried to purge cache for the site in question, to no avail. What is the solution?

Installation aborted because the add-on appears to be corrupt. OmegaSwitch

Hello, I encountered an error when trying to install the extension. I've never encountered anything like this before

Hello

Out of nowhere I started having problems watching Videos on Twitch. So, after some Flatpak repairs and reinstalls, I decided to sync my data with Firefox Sync and remove it completely. For my surprise after reinstalling and logging in on Firefox Sync my only extensions and, what looks like part of my history were restored. Lost my session, custom tabs names etc.

It seems more and more websites refuse or deny FF as an acceptable browser. My bank, my electricity provider are just two examples.

Is this being addressed?

Since the auto-update to version 128.0.3 (64-bit) two weeks ago, my Firefox crashes as soon as I switch over to a different programme. I am on Windows 10. Whenever I try to re-open the programme, I get the error message that Firefox is already running and if I want to restart or quit. Can you please deploy a fix for this? Thank you.

Today I realized that I have installed two (2) versions of Mozilla Firefox on my Laptop PC which I rarely use.

Both editions are 64-bit type but one is version 109.0.1 (11/04/2023) in

C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox and the other is version 128.0.3 (28/07/2024) in C:\Program Files (x86)/Mozilla Firefox.

I suppose it is illegal to have two versions of the same App., so the question is how can I delete the old version (109.0.1) without affecting or damaging the new version (128.0.3)?

Thank you, JOHN HATZITOLIOS

Is Firefox now a complete tool of Google ? about:preferences#search there is no way to delete google as search engine I have startpage and duckduckgo as alternative options listed and I can remove them, but google cannot be removed as the REMOVE button is not highlighted in case of Google. Why do you hardcode Google as the default browser for the URL bar ?

From the attached image you can see that the "Remove Tab" is inactive specifically for google. I tried absolutely all advice on the net, and nothing works. Firefox now seemingly FORCES us to use google. This behavior was not present in the previous firefox version I used. It immediately happened after update to 128.0.3 (64-bit).

Is google now hardcoded into firefox ? If so it is time for a hard fork in the firefox code. Hopefully it is not needed.

In addition Google was ruled to be a Monopoly today by a federal judge,

https://apnews.com/article/google-antitrust-search-engine-verdict-apple-319a61f20fb11510097845a30abaefd8

So it would be better for Mozilla/Firefox to not continue the monopoly and become an enabling party in monopoly lawsuits.

On our web site we have a page that includes mp3 files, which play okay on Firefox; but on another page on the site with mp3 files, Firefox (including different versions on different computers) produces the error message, No video with supported format and MIME type found." FWIW, other browsers like Safari (Mac), Chrome (Mac and Win), and Edge (Win) all play the problematic files without a hitch.

Is there a fix for this problem that can be attempted by the non-tech types?

I get a weird green mark on the top left, which looks like some type of greenscreen cursor input thing. I have seen it on Gmail. Not sure where else. Last time was a while ago.

This is on Windows 11. Just worried if this is some type of backdoor thing.

I cannot figure out why this important site which I have used for years is suddenly being blocked. the message I'm getting says-"Firefox has detect that the server is redirection the requested address in a way that will never complete. This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing cookies." I don't believe I have made any changes to cookies or anything else in the past few days so I don't know what to fix.

Please help

I have been a devoted Firefox users for many years. Just in the past week or so I have started having multiple tabs crash daily and now am getting 1 or 2 blue screens a day. I run on Windows 11 Pro. What can I do to help this issue?

After your an update some weeks ago, I have not been able to access my bank account using Firefox. Got some advice from support from the bank, but since I have an US version, the labels to be accessed differed, and were not compatible with the advice. Presently using M Edge, which I of several reasons don`t want to. Any suggestions?
