the website gem.cbc.ca no longer allows me to play a video in Firefox since Monday this week, but works as usual on Chrome. I have the same add-ons on both browsers Adblock+ and NoScript. Tried in a private window too and all the suggested Firefox settings, no go.

Also I was able to use primewire.mov to watch videos up until yesterday, but none of them will play for me today. Guess I should try Chrome for them too. I use a private window for those sites.

Windows 10PRO + ESU up to date for April Firefox 150.0.2 64bit No other changes except for an Adblock+ update a few days ago.

Hello, when automatic offline backup in stable firefox was first introduced, it worked perfectly fine. It created automatic backups in folder I pointed to. Unfortunately few weeks later it stopped working completely, no idea why. I tried following support article, which is limited to turning backup off, deleting folder and turning it on again. Unfortunately it did not help. As soon as backup starts, it gives me error and does not create any file. It shows "creating backup..." for few seconds, then this banner disappears and only error banner remains.

Can you suggest me advanced troubleshooting for this? Maybe there is some log file which could point me in right direction?

I am wondering if it is some issue with Polish language, because I point to D:\Firefox backup\Restore Firefox but it creates "Przywróć Firefoksa" folder.

Just recently I changed my privacy settings to take advantage of the privacy opt-out option for websites not to share my data or information. I went to my AMX credit card account and now every time I move to a new page the message, "Your Global Privacy Control opt-out signal has been honored" pops up and gets in the way of the information on the page. I am constantly having to click on the X in the corner to close the message box. Once would be enough for each main website. Having it pop up every time is absolutely annoying. I like having this option but if it's going to make me have to close the informational box every time I move to a new page or back to a former page, then I will have to undo the choice. The web designer who put this message text into the Firefox browser needs to find a way to only have it pop up once if they feel it is really necessary to tell me that they are blocking information from other companies. I really don't even need the first message just as long as it works behind the scenes. I hope someone gets web support to look into this issue. It's just so annoying.

I routinely keep a tab open to view my iCloud account (PC running Windows 10 Pro).

Everything has worked just fine in the past. Here are the basics using Edge... -The home page displays like the first attachment. -Clicking an icon takes me to the calendar page (see the Edge screenshot in the second attachment) -Clicking the word, 'iCloud' (see yellow arrow in second attachment) returns me to the home page.

But now, using Firefox, if I click the calendar icon (or any other) the calendar return link and Calendar page title are superimposed over one another and the return link does not work. -Check out the yellow arrow in the third attachment -If I click the iCloud/Calendar mishmash I get nothing. If I click left arrow or Back I get nothing.

Note that this still works fine with Edge but does not work with Firefox. Please note also that this happens on a different PC running Windows 11 Home. Have tried clearing Firefox cache (no change) but don't know what else to try.

Any ideas?

Since update to latest version of Firefox, I cannot access content on Facebook. All I get after long wait is the blank screen with the Facebook logo in the middle and Meta logo at the bottom. No problem before update. Other sites seem OK but take much longer to load. I can get Facebook with MS Edge. I'm using Windows 10 on PC.

Windows 10 B650M PG RIptide WiFi (BIOS 3.5) Ryzen 5 7600 RTX 2060 Super (driver 596.36, output to LG C1 over HDMI at 4K 120Hz with certified cable) 16GB DDR5

This issue has been happening for about 1-2 months.

When Firefox is open on my computer, my cursor will randomly lower its frame rate to a very low number, probably below 15 FPS. It doesn't matter what I'm doing, just having Firefox open, even in the background, causes this to happen. No such issues in other chrome-based browsers with or without hardware acceleration enabled. I have disabled all extensions and still encounter the problem.

Disabling hardware acceleration does fix this issue, but then the web, and even high resolution videos, become laggy or choppy as a result. Which is very uncharacteristic for my system, because I remember it being quite snappy in software mode on the my same CPU in the past. So something seems to have gone wrong in recent months that makes acceleration in general poor, with or without hardware acceleration on.
