Video playback fails to load. When accessing videos from Crunchyroll on a Macbook pro running Monterey2.3.1 (21E258) from Firefox 98.0.2 (64-bit), I see a spinning animation that never stops. I can access the same content from Crunchyroll by using Firefox from my iPhone without issue. I can view other streaming content like YouTube and Netflix without error. Is there a setting or other fix that I can employ to make this work? I have previously used a workaround with an extension that emulates a mobile environment. Unfortunately this no longer works. TIA for your help.

Monospace font not being chosen correctly when font-family starts with missing fonts

I've just started noticing in Firefox 99 on Arch Linux that Firefox is using the wrong font when the font-family is given as "ui-monospace/other fonts..., monospace". This looks similar to the issue mentioned here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1351497

The inspector for these websites underlines "monospace" as the active font, but then uses a non-monospace font (in my case, Bitstream Vera Sans) to display the content. This does not happen when the font-family is "monospace,monospace" or "monospace". I can't quite figure out exactly what causes the font to be chosen incorrectly: sometimes it does show up if I have the preceding fonts installed, e.g. Consolas or Liberation Mono, but other instances do not look as intended.

Currently, I have fontconfig set up such that: $ fc-match :family=ui-monospace VeraMono.ttf: "Bitstream Vera Sans Mono" "Roman" $ fc-match :family=monospace VeraMono.ttf: "Bitstream Vera Sans Mono" "Roman"

Firefox's fonts in about:preferences are configured as all defaults: Serif: Bitstream Vera Serif Sans: Bitstream Vera Sans Monospace: Bitstream Vera Sans Mono

The website "stacksbowers.com" will not correctly load - see image below. I have tried a number of my other website links and they all appear to load correctly. I was on this website last Tuesday, 22 March and everything appeared fine. Microsoft Edge finds and loads the website correctly. I first discovered this problem yesterday (Sunday) about mid-morning. I noticed that Firefox was updated on Wednesday, 23 March:

Firefox 98.0.2 (20220322144853) Details Installed on: March 23, 2022, 6:50:22 PM Status: The Update was successfully installed

Some of the links in brought up when I click on "stacksbowers.com" actually work and display a normal web page within the "stacksbowers.com" home page, while others appear to do nothing. I've contacted the owner of the website and they reported no issues and were able to bring up the website OK.

Please help me with this problem. Thanks so much.

I have asked this before but got no reply. Running FireFox 98.0.2 andthe problemis logging into many websites (like my bank) on Windows 10. Generally the login info drop downs do not accept the data or don't even appear. I am ready to quit Firefox on windows. Oddly, Firefox on MacOS is ok. But it is really frustrating to have to use MS Edge to log into my bank or read the local paper and more. Really, if my main option to switch were something other than GOOGLE I would switch - have use Firefox for years - I am a data scientist with an MS in CS and have high expectations for interface design. This one is not working.

Having just upgraded my Debian 9 machine to Mint 20, this has updated my firefox browser.

Everything was going fine until I came across the problem where by all image downloads are saved as webp images, a format that my favourite image editing software cannot handle.

This is a bit of a pain and has made me start looking at alternative web browsers.

Just thought you should know how simple things can cause a loss of support.

I have several different types of accounts that I cannot access via Firefox. But, I can access these through MS Internet Explorer. Firefox is becoming useless to me. The accounts include banking, insurance, travel, government, etc. This has been on ongoing problem for several weeks. I first realized it with an airline more than a year ago. In Firefox, I have tried to delete cookies, to forget about the site. I have tried changing various protection and security switches. Nothing seems to help. Please see the attached screen shots of return messages. Some messages that say it is a problem with the website and I need to contact that administrator. However, I am able to immediately go to MS Internet Explorer and get into the account. I have read community helps and note that other people have these same problems. And, I have read their frustration as nothing seems to help. I would appreciate some advice that works. I like Firefox better than other browsers and do not want to change. Thanks.

Firefox 99.0

I guess it's a problem with the latest update because it didn't happen to me before. Gmail keeps showing me this message: "Gmail is having authentication problems. Some features may not be operational. Please try logging in to troubleshoot the problem." I have relogin, deleted the cookies and site data but I still get that message. I have tried starting the browser from "about:support" in troubleshooting mode but the error still appears. This does not happen in other browsers.

I do not have any problem connecting using Chrome or Edge, so this seems to be clearly a Firefox problem.

After the most recent update to the browser, I am no longer able to successfully login to many websites. Example for me include: Xcel Energy, Aol Mail, my local City Utility website and no doubt others I have yet to discover.

I know this is a browser dependent issue because Google Chrome is still able to access these sites just fine, but after the latest update to Firefox it no longer can.

It's able to load the login page and the site, but login in specifically returns either an error that shows on the webpage, or the URL displays some form of error code. Or in AOLs case it simply says "Uh oh. Looks like something went wrong. Please try again later." with a length authorization error code in the URL.

Any help with this would be appreciated. I've cleared Cookies, Cache, Active Logins and every other History Clearing option set to "Everything" as the length of time back to clean-up.

Like I said, this is a Firefox dependent issue due to Chrome accessing these sites just fine. I'd rather stick with Firefox over moving to Chrome but if no one can solve this problem then I guess it'll finally be time to ditch Firefox sadly, even though I've been using it since the early 2010s.

I have successfully logged into my Docusign account from the Firefox web browser on my Windows 10 computer up until now. All of a sudden when I try to log in, Docusign tells me I've entered an invalid password. The password is valid, I've tried it on Microsoft Edge and in the Apple iOS Docusign app and have successfully logged in. They both prompt me to get a code from the Microsoft Authenticator and I do not get that prompt when I attempt to log in thru Firefox web browser.

Recently, sites that use semi-colons instead of ampersands in their URLs have stopped working in Firefox 99.0.1 for me.

I suspect an add-on may have been recently updated, since those sites still work when I run them in a new private window. Is there an easy way to track down which add-on might be rewriting the URL?

For many years I have used Firefox and would check lottery ticket numbers on the New York State Lottery web site. A few days ago it became a problem. I can get to the web site but then when you click an icon to go to a particular game to check the numbers nothing happens. When i tried to click on the FAQs icon or just get to the menu to find their contact inf, none of that worked either. I found an old copy of IE11 on my computer and connected with that and it worked. I contacted the NY Lottery web site via email and they said they didn't change anything.

Is there an issue with a recent Firefox update?
