Forum zhromadźenstwa Firefox

I have noticed that since around Friday, April 24th, 2026, that Youtube videos will sometimes refuse to load properly. The page for the video will come up, but buttons on the page will not load, and nor will the video. This started happening around mid-day, when prior to it, things had been fine. At first I thought it might be tied into the 'ambient mode' option on Youtube itself., But even after shutting that off, I found it was still happening at ranodm.

Is this something new Yotube is doing in their continued (idiotic) fight against ad blockers, or is there an actual glitch in the browser or, more likely, a glitch in Youtube? Like I said, this seems to occur at random and I can't trace the cause for it. I'll include a screenshot of what I'm seeing. But if anyone knows what's happening here, I'd appreciate it.

I should add that I am on Windows 11 and using the new version 150.0 for Firefox. (Congrats on that, by the way.)

I'll be honest, I keep hearing some other browser can block youtube ads innately. (Brave, I think it was called?) and while the idea is cool, I'm not giving up a browser I've used for over 20 years for it. If Firefox can find a way to implement a similar means of blocking Youtube ads innately, I;d love it. But for now, I just wanna know what the devil is happening with the site. Can anyone help?

Your instructions regarding verifying if your new VPN feature is working don't seem to apply. I don't have any VPN feature of icon in the upper right hand corner of my Firefox window???

firefox continues to put unwanted icons on the platform even as I try to keep dismissing some of them. How do I stop and only put the ones I want there?

Tks for the help - jb

Every time I manually update firefox, it reinstalls the automatic update malware "Mozilla Maintenance Service". I can't stop this malware from being installed with my browser every time I update Firefox. I call it malware because its not wanted, and it behaves like malware by secretly downloading content without my consent and then shutting down my browser when it finishes by blocking access to all new tabs.

I've tried adding policies to stop auto updates, but Mozilla Maintenance Service ignores all policies. I'm going to see if I can contact AVG and explain to them that Mozilla Maintenance Service is malware and see if I can get it classified as such to see if that'll finally get through to someone because I'm sick of this crap constantly being installed and forcing things on me whenever they want and not when I want.

Now after this update, every google search forces open my location service trying to force me to give location rights. This update is even more malware than all the other updates before hand. Firefox is getting extremely dangerous.

Hi,

I have been locked out of my account and the two factor authentication does not work any longer. This is the first time this has ever happened to me.

I do not have a Backup Authentication code, but I am logged into Firefox on my mobile. Unfortunately, the iOS version does not have the ability to change my Security settings as instructed by the guide.

Can you please help me gain access to my account?

Thanks and regards,

Bernard

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.

Hi this can anyone shed anylight on this please? I was using Facebook earlier today with no problem then now it won't run nor open yet it runs fine in Google Chrome. I've cleared out the Cookies ect and re-tried but its not pitching anything.

Many thanks Rob

All of my streaming services stall on Firefox in the middle of watching regardless of what I'm on hulu, disney, espn, youtube, sirius radio. It's not my internet, which I have had checked by a technican in my house. The streaming works on Safari so it's definitely a Firefox problem. If you can't fix it, I will have to move all of my services to Safari.

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.

I'm suddenly getting a blank, white screen when attempting to open GMAIL What got broken and how do I fix it?

I verified that the exact same link works fine in EDGE, so this is some kind of recent change specific to FIREFOX.

I've just opened one simple Web site (in addition to Mozilla), and already CPU usage sits at about 20%! Please refer to my recent posts here at "Why is Firefox Suddenly Taking Over my CPU?" for the problem description. I'm re-posting simply in hopes that I can "send data" on this one from outside my sandbox. Regards -- jclarkw

hi. I search for a bookmark by FF search function and want to edit its name. How? No, i do not want to tap and manually search through all bookmarks and then edit it. Yes, the findings should be easy editable. It is a suggestion for the developers. thx
