Whenever I start a Youtube video ever since turning on Dolby Atmos, there is a good 2-3 seconds of audio cut out of the beginning of every Youtube video launched. This doesn't happen on Edge or Chrome. I have tried turning off hardware acceleration in Firefox and restarting Firefox but this does nothing. Even when I rewind the video, the audio is not there even though the video is playing.

I've been searching for an answer to this for weeks to no avail. It concerns YouTube videos "autoplay"ing on YouTube. Many have asked this question and most responses state to shut off Autoplay. These are two separate issues. AotuPlay means the next video on YouTube will advnace automatically requiring no user input. If Autoplay is off, streaming stops at the end of the video. The issue I am having is when I open a YouTube video to a new tab (but do not switch to that tab), the video WILL start playing as soon as that tab is in focus. This never used to happen and indeed, on two other computers with the settings and extensions all sync'ed, this doesn't happen, except for on this one computer. Today I found someone that posted the exact same problem 5 years ago and didn't get an answer. He seems to describe it well:

1. Okay, so before, when I loaded up 100+ Youtube videos, they stayed when switching tabs - no autoplay. Suddenly they decide to autoplay when switching tabs - note, I've not done anything to my settings or plugins. Fair enough, maybe you changed something (which you often do, without informing). So I check the options. It was on "Block audio", which obviously didn't work, so I tried "Block Audio and Video" - which WORKS, but now both the video is paused (which I want) AND the audio is set to mute (which I DON'T want) - so... what does it take to have Youtube wait for a click to start playing a video loaded in a background tab, but KEEP AUDIO ACTIVE, so I don't also have to unmute the damn video?

One person posted a possible solution: Maybe check this pref on the about:config page.

   media.block-autoplay-until-in-foreground 

This setting describes the issue kind of. If you have this set to false, the moment you send a link to a new tab, YouTube starts playing in the background. Setting it to false keeps the video paused until that tab is in focus. That is how mine has always been set. What I am looking for is a setting that would say something like: "block autoplay until play is pressed"

Thanks in advance and sorry for being so long-winded

Wondering if anyone else ran into my problem with Firefox. I try to save a bookmark to the selected folder, and it doesn't show up. I have a folder called "Imported from IE", and a sub-folder called Shopping. Saving the bookmark doesn't show up in the folder/sub-folder. Shows up in Today.

Any ideas why?

Thanks

I'm trying to disable the "Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead" message in Firefox when accessing websites with self-signed or invalid certificates. I understand the security implications, but I'm a cybersec professional where I frequently need to access such sites. Is there a way to permanently disable these warnings?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I've dealt with this crap before only with firefox , I've also reported it more than like 3 x

So let me sum things up there is a million other browsers there pretty sure you knew that already?

If I experience this problem again I will uninstall the application

Situation: the keyboard and search keeps freezing and it's not letting me type anything in like it was trying to freeze my screen

There is no issues with the device including hard ware or software issues on the android

If Mozilla is going to add an annoying left side scroll bar they should also include a facility to disable it. I don't use the right side scroll bar, I certainly don't need another not to use. Besides it interferes with some websites....

I run Windows 10 pro. I have FF 135.0

All my Firefox tabs in the systray stay connected. That is, I can not move them to where I want them on the systray.

How do I disconnect them?

Hello,

When using the inspector in dev tools, when the inspector is large, it automatically split horizontally.

As i have a large screen, i tottally prefer to not split horizontally but vertically.

I searched over the net and in this forum, i also read everything in about config concerning inspector and don't find anything revelant.

I'm pretty sure that i'm not the only one with large screen so i wonder what i am missing.

Thanks for your help
