Firefox Community Forum

Good Afternoon,

I am enjoying the easier profile management with the new profile system, and I am using it currently for splitting personal / work usage. I was just wondering if it is possible to set 'Choose a profile when Firefox opens' to always apply when running a Firefox shortcut, not just when Firefox is not currently running (similar to Chrome's 'New Window' option)?

Thanks, Robert

I just opened Firefox on my Win 11 pc, and find all my tabs have gone. The setting to reopen last session is active, as before. I think FF updated itself earlier today. I also had occasion to look at it briefly on my synchronised android phone. I would like to: - get my tabs back - find a way to stop this haappening (it's not the first time).

Any advice much appreciated, thanks. Richard

Facebook videos in Firefox stop playing when clicking the Windows 11 Start button or opening Solitaire (after recent update)

This issue has just started after a Windows 11 update and restart. It has never happened before. I usually watch Facebook Reels while playing Solitaire at the same time — yes, I know, I don’t have a life.

This morning, after the update and restart, I opened Facebook and started watching a Reel as normal. As soon as I clicked the Windows Start button to open the list of programs, the video stopped. I then selected Solitaire, which opened to the taskbar. I restarted the video, clicked Solitaire to open the game fully, and the video stopped again. As soon as I minimize Solitaire, the video resumes playing.

I’ve tried all the suggestions I could find via Google, but nothing has worked so far. Note that this only affects videos playing directly on Facebook — videos playing in the Windows Media Player Legacy video player itself are not affected.

Any help would be greatly appreciated… and yes, as mentioned, I clearly don’t have a life 😅 Link to video showing what happens when I select Solitaire in the Taskbar. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1oKLIl3I4f9lfTZvbU-9pJ1gMbOU7h0zm/view?usp=sharing

Regards everyone.

More info... I run two monitors and it seem if I click on whatever I have open in the second monitor the FB video stops. So something has changed after I turned my computer on this morning and updated Windows. I even did a System Restore to a setting two days before this new update and nothing changed still have the problem.

Hello,

I’m experiencing consistent crashes of the plugin widevinecdm.dll whenever I try to play DRM-protected content (for example, streaming platforms that use Widevine). Every time playback starts, Firefox crashes and the crash reports show errors related to widevinecdm.dll, specifically: EXCEPTION_STACK_BUFFER_OVERRUN FAST_FAIL_CONTROL_INVALID_RETURN_ADDRESS.

In such instances, Firefox keeps working normally. The tab doesn't even crash, it's just the player not responding and the message above telling me that the plugin has crashed. I have already sent multiple crash reports, the last one you can find it here on the Mozilla Crash Stats platform.

Does anyone know how this can be solved? I literally cannot use any subscription service anymore.

Bonjour, Cela fait plusieurs message que je vous adresse mais je n'ai reçu aucune réponse ? Depuis votre dernière mise à jour de Firefox, Je n'ai plus aucun marque page ni Favori. J'ai essayé diverses méthodes en ligne mais rien n'y fait. Pouvez-vous m'aider. Je vous remercie de votre réponse, Cordialement, Patrick BASSELIN p.basselin@gmail.com

How can I or can I lock my desktop so that only tiles I select appear and do not change unless I change them? I have recommended stories turned off in settings and seemingly every site I visit and article I read shows up on my desktop to replace something I actually want on my desktop.

I cannot open the msn site , on my Win11 desktop using Firefox.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/weather

which is not down and opens in the Google browser. What can I check , this has happened off and on but is now broken this week. The msn.com site does open , but clicking on the weather tab still fails.

I want shortcuts, but not the ones I visit, just the ones I save. Is there a way to make it just the ones I save, or I have to have both. If I must have both, please make it so that its separate.

every time i launch Firefox, I get the banner prompting me to log in to network so i can access to the internet, i don´t understand it , cos I see that I am both logged in and connected to the net ?

I lost my entire browser (bookmarks, extensions, accounts) by opening firefox twice. Whilst firefox was opening (very slowly due to my wifi) i opened it again, thinking it may have crashed, next time i opened it my entire browser was gone. How can i recover my data?
