Embedded links in Outlook email on Windows 10 will not open automatically when the new email is first opened to be read if Firefox has been selected as the default Browser. This is a new issue !

The message is" if there are problems with how this message is displayed, click HERE to view it in a web browser " and then the Browser used is only Edge!

Restoring disliked Edge to be the default browser corrects the issue but Edge is a known tracking device.

Hello to everybody, My question: Opening local .mdb files (MS Access database) does no longer work in Firefox 120, but was ok in previous releases. The only choice is to save the file rather than onening it with MS access. Under Firefox settings/applications the file type .mdb does not appear. If I answer the question "What should Firefox do with other files?" with "Ask whether to open or save files" it has no effect at all. I expect to find an entry for .mdb files where to choose "always ask" as was the case earlier. Please help!

Firefox does not access my Wells Fargo account correctly; did not recognize my one account

I tried to pay my Wells Fargo VISA bill online as I do every month. This morning it listed all my accounts correctly on the 'Accounts' screen, but when I clicked the options to transfer money, depending on the screen I was on, it gave a message "you do not have two accounts to transfer money from and to" (not the exact wording.)

I tried to use a different path to do the same thing, and on that screen it displayed the 'FROM' accounts correctly but the "TO" account area was blank.

I had to close Firefox, load Edge, and was able to transfer the money from the checking account and pay the VISA bill.

This has never happened before and I have done this transfer and pay operation every month for years. Something has changed in the browser and needs to be fixed.

I have been accessing my Virgin media account for years from the Firefox browser. I like to access my email from Firefox. But now it won't work. However I can get into Virgin media straightforwardly from Microsoft Edge. I've tried clearing the cache (though I don't know if I did correctly) but it's made no difference to the Virgin problem.

I know this is likely to be a wont-fix resolution, but I'd like to confirm that.

So if a webserver has the extremely cautious content-security header:

content-security-policy default-src 'none';

Firefox will correctly not embed video from that same domain in web pages hosted by that domain.

Fine. Good. Totally right.

When the server sets the same flag on the media file itself, Firefox's media player won't play it in browser. Even if I directly open the URL as a user, signaling my user intent to accept the risks for the file, the default player Firefox creates uses the media file's content-security-policy FOR itself.

This means the media won't load, gives an unhelpful and incorrect error message about MIME types, and the only way to view it is to actively download it and view it in local media applications.

Now, given the risks of allowing exceptions in CSP, I will understand if the development team doesn't feel this is a safe change to make, and it's on website owners to prevent this, but I don't feel it's in keeping with the intent of CSP to prevent this case.

My C drive needed replacement. I reinstalled Firefox and copied the profile from the old C to the new C. That did not work. I uninstalled and tried again with the report back that the files names were too long. The old disk is still in the computer with a new designation. I tried installing again to the old drive that has all the original data. That did not work. (I do have a saved copy of the profile) I'd like all my settings, but at least the bookmarks. Firefox doesn't seem to have importing from another Firefox, so I can do that. How do I import bookmarks from the Firefox on my old disk. Help would be appreciated. Thank you

I've read a few old threads and checked both the DRM setting and the "-Vine" as they recommended. Still no luck getting it to work. I'm posting yet another thread about this here because I'm getting a bit frustrated, frankly. Firefox is my favorite browser by far, I just wonder if anyone has found another way to fix this.

Every day. Videos won't play. sometimes one restart of firefox will fix it. sometimes multiple restarts are required before it'll work. The loading bar at the bottom of the video (on the seek bar) indicates the video is loading but it won't play. There have been times where I have disabled every single add-on and it would not work. Add-ons do not seem to be the cause. I have tried it in a private browser window with no joy. I have refreshed firefox, I have uninstalled and reinstalled it. I have tried disabling my antivirus. I have tested videos on websites in other browsers with no issue. The issue seems to be with the video player itself. overlays seem unaffected, I can use the seek bar and it shows the captions. I have tested different websites including Youtube, Vimeo and Steam. I tried many tens of times to get it working today to no avail. finally when I closed nearly all my tabs, the video worked (but I had also opened TOR and run avideo in that), I am not sure if this is the cause. If the cause is having multiple tabs open, this is an issue for me. I have a learning disability and likely ADHD and I have a set of tabs as my homepages so I don't forget things. If It's not the mutliple tabs, then what else can I do?
