I've been unable to click through links in Thunderbird. It appears to be because Firefox refuses to be my default browser. When it asked whether I wanted it to be my default browser I answered yes, but then got a blue message saying I should go to settings/default apps. It has never done this before. I can't use Win 10 Settings because it doesn't do anything because it has been corrupted by a power cut. But this has not been a problem before because Firefox has always made itself the defealt browser when requested. I have tried doing it via the menue but I get the same message. So it appears, either Firefox has changed, or Windows 10, preventing from Firefox doing it itself. I haven't used any other browser. Edge was not set up. Any suggestions?

This is a rebuilt PC after a hard drive died, Windows 10 Pro N version 22H2. and YE

I am trying to access video content on cbc.ca or Amazon.ca and receive an error message that "no compatible source was found for this media" - Amazon or on cbc.ca "Oops...None of the given sources can be played".

Prior to updating Firefox to version 123.0.1, both played video on these sites without an issue.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled FF and the issue persists. I can play the video from these sites with Chrome or Edge without a problem.

I have installed Java and have tried all of the help tips without success:

I have followed and installed recommendations from : https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/fix-video-audio-problems-firefox-windows however the latest Media Feature Pack for windows is from 2019 and is no longer applicable to the 22H2 version. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/mediafeaturepack. Windows store does not offer the pack.

The changes suggested by https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/block-autoplay have been applied and no change

I am not running malware bytes or a VPN.

I have cleared my cache, and browsing history, rebooted = no change.

I have no add-ons, extensions or themes installed.

I prefer to use FF, but require that I can view videos from many sites.

Hi, my computer crashed and we were able to get the old files and I have them saved (Saved Files for MZForum. The file date from the crash Feb 22 and 23 and the new ones are March 9 and afterword.

I was able to replace the Logins-JSON file and you can see the date difference in the Folder which is in the Permissions picture attached. I can't move the Key 4 file over because it is asking for Administrator access.

1 - How do I get that to move this file? 2 - The Form History SQLite is doing the same thing? 3 - Should I also replace the Logins Backup and the places.sqlite?

Thank you for you help!!

Hello

right now, using this form for typing the question, I can see that typewriting spelling is perfectly working

but if I go to gmail web, and I try to spell check , it neither shows the option in the right click menu

please see attachments

Please kindly , before to write lot of check this and that, this is what I have already done

- cleared cookies and all the data cache. This didn't solved the issue - went to menu Help->Others Info and Problems Resolutions->Restore Firefox. This didn't solved the issue

so now I begin to believe that Gmail is disabling the spell checker

Can you tell something about this?

Ooooh s**t seen right now, yes really Gmail disabled the spell checking

it works in the subject line but it doesn't in the message body!!! See attachment

Well kindly suggest a workaround for this Google ABUSE

Thank you

I'm searching for an add-on for Firefox that will allow me to create reminders, access them, and be reminded when they come due. So far my searches have been in vain. I found a couple and added them but cannot find any icon that allows me access pending reminders nor have any that I thought I set up popped up when due.

I spend the majority of my time online in Firefox and would much prefer to control reminders there.

Can anyone recommend an add-on (or a feature I've overlooked) that will handle reminders in Firefox?

On fully up-to-date Windows 10 Pro desktop, Mozilla 123.0 fails to fully update to 123.0.1, leaving behind several obsolete files and an additional version under Control Panel>Program and Features. This issue has been ongoing for at least three software updates. Only simple solution is to fully uninstall, clean directories and register and reinstall. Fairly inconvenient.

For perhaps a year I have been using Autofill to input my credit card details when buying online, but suddenly Firefox has forgotten that I had saved a payment method. Is this a recognised fault? I'm now reluctant to input them again as I don't know where they have gone!

Please fix it so that we can either shut off or resize favicons in Google search results. This is with Firefox 123.0 using the default settings for fonts. It used to be that filters for Ublock and ABP would eliminate favicons totally. I'd prefer that solution since to me they serve no purpose. But at least make them reasonable sized.

See screenshot of Chrome vs Firefox.

Greetings,

I had stumbled on a list of your fixed bugs lists and noticed updates were made on my keyboard.

On 03/09/2024, my left shift key, z, X and C keys are not working.

I have to copy and paste those letters from other documents to type it here. Do you have any idea how those keys stopped working?

Thank you in advance for your input.

Long time technical, firefox user. One day starting firefox caused the system to slow unacceptably down. No changes before other than a possible background update from v122. Tried to do a Fresh Firefox v123, but firefox is attempting/constant localhost connections (ports in 40k-65k range) (attached screenshot).

It's on a Windows 10 desktop, uninstalled Firefox v123, manually deleted %appdata%\mozilla and %localappdata%\mozilla, reinstalled firefox, as soon as firefox.exe executes, I get constant localhost connection attempts from the "firefox.exe" process (Process Monitor image attached).

ran about:processes, found it was the "Network" category causing the problem. Permalink to report... https://share.firefox.dev/4972weA

Ran dism, it found no system files had issues. Only firefox has an issue, the system is great without it running.

Is this a bug?

What does firefox use the localhost connection for?

Is there a secondary component that is required by firefox that it is not running on execution that it is looking for?

I've tried EVERYTHING I can think of to fix this issue. When 'trying' to open a YouTube video in Firefox, I'm 'informed' that I'm offline - try reconnecting (or something like that). I'm NOT offline. Three other browsers have NO problem opening these YouTube videos; it's only Firefox. Can someone PLEASE come up with a REAL resolve to this issue? I don't want to give up on Firefox and go back to Chrome. But this issue is VERY annoying. Thanks to anyone who can provide constructive resolution(s). AL R.

I posted about a month ago that I was having problems with logging on various websites with FF. A reader had me uninstall/reinstall and that fixed the issue. Now it's back again. I get error messages like "something went wrong" when trying to logon to various websites, or told to reload, but it just keeps happening. It's a bit random. No problems with Edge. I need this solved to use FF.
