Recent upgrades broke gmail and audio for Amazon Prime video
Recent updates are causing problmes with gmail and video sound.
Using URL https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#inbox I keep seeing a not connected, trying again message. Closed tab and opened new one with same URL and just get blank white screen. Works fine on Chrome.
Sound does not work on Youtube or Amazon Prime video sometimes. Reopen same URL in Chrome and all is good again.
BTW, it would be useful if Firefox browser upgrades could be skipped. Sometimes one needs to open a browser in a hurry but no can do because Upgrades seem they are going to upgrade, user wishes dismissed. Maybe updates would be a better word than upgrades. Not as bad a Windows but y'all don't want to be like them, do ya? They are the McDonald's of software, they sell a lot of it but it ain't very good.
Thanks for letting me whine. I will go back to my safe space now...

Same problem. Today updated to FF version 77.0.1 and now If I set gmail as my home page, FF opens to a blank white page.
Yes the typical go to first response. Clear your cookies. Just to be clear... clearing data/cache does NOT HELP. Does this on all my computers, not just one.
No Preferences under Options.
Clearing cookies helped fix email but sound still broken.
Ive cleared cookies over and over. Googles home page is randomly not showing but a white screen still, along with gmail.
I reinstalled an earlier version and its working. Ill just run it sandboxed so the original doesn't auto update and foul the home page up again.
Hi jvh24521
If earlier solutions from others don't work then:
First, I would try upgrading to 77.0.1 which was released yesterday.
Second, try turning off DNS over HTTPS (DoH) (it seems like it fixed the problem for some folks in bug 1637512). You can disable DoH in your Firefox connection settings: using the following instructions which are from https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-dns-over-https#w_manually-enabling-and-disabling-dns-over-https :
- about:preferences#general
- In the {menu General} panel, scroll down to Network Settings and click the {button Settings…} button.
- In the dialog box that opens, scroll down to Enable DNS over HTTPS.
- Off: Deselect the Enable DNS over HTTPS checkbox turn it off
- Click OK to save your changes and close the window.
Cheers!

I guess Im not included but Ill give you my 2 cents anyways since Im the bad guy here. Enable DNS is already off and makes no difference.
