After the last update to firefox the video does not load. there is sound and the side chat chows. the website loads but no video. it is like the video player is being block. all i get is a large purple question mark on the screen ware the video player would be. I tried troubleshoot mode still the same. i removed all addons still the same. I reset firefox back to default and still the same. i have tried other browser and that all work fine.

I´m currently working on some courses in Udemy and all of a sudden the videos are not loading, is not my internet connection I deactivated all the extension to see if it was the case but nothing seems to be working

Recently switched from a cheap Samsung phone (a15) that did not have this issue, but on my brand new Pixel 9 the address bar almost never responds immediately; I have to mash it for a solid 10+ seconds until it finally allows me to highlight text or type something. Is there a fix for this of some sort?

A cursory google search only pulled up a single reddit thread from about three months ago of someone describing a similar issue but no resolution was given, just a couple commenters chiming in to say they have also experienced this - all Pixel users.

When trying to launch the browser from a network folder, I encounter the errors shown in the screenshots. If I launch the browser on one computer, everything is ok, but if I need to launch it on at least the second one, I encounter this error until I close the browser on the first one. I don’t know what could have happened, because I didn’t touch the configuration and everything worked fine for us last year. Nothing was updated or changed. Firefox Portable ini file configuration:

Hi, I use firefox exclusively across all my devices (for obvious reasons) but I find some browser apps don't work on Firefox - in particular Beat Buddy manager online. This requires FilesystemAPI support, which exists in Chrome and Edge, but not in Firefox. Please create a new version of the browser app that supports the ability to use FileSystemAPI on directories, this is essential for working with a BeatBuddy project and SD cards that are saved on my computer using the online editor. Thanks Doug

Firefox version 115.23.0esr (64-bit) on macOS Version 10.13.6 on Mac mini (Mid 2010), Processor- 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Memory- 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 Graphics- NVIDIA GeForce 320M 256 MB Works ok on my iPhone 16. Computer getting too old? Doesn't work now on my MacBook of the same vintage either.

In the last few days, after some minutes of usage, parts of Firefox become unclickable:

- I can still click on tabs to change tabs. - When hovering over the cross button to close a tab, it changes appearance as it should. Clicking the button does nothing. Ctrl+w still closes the button. - Clicking on the address bar does nothing. - Cannot click on back, forward, refresh buttons. - Cannot click on any add-ons. - Cannot click on preferences. - Can click on the button to open a new tab. There, I can enter an address. Once the page has loaded, address bar becomes unclickable again. - Bookmarks toolbar is still working as expected. - Keyboard shortcuts (ctrl+t, ctrl-w, ctrl-l) still work as expected.

I'm running ``` Mozilla Firefox 138.0 20250428130755 20250428130755 ```

on Manjaro 25.0.1 with GNOME 48

In daily work tasks, I end up with a large number of windows and tabs open. I am wondering if this is not adding to my extremely slow recovery of frozen tabs and windows and MANY instances of "Non-Responsive" everyday. Firefox is set to allow multiple processes, naturally, but I'm looking for ways to ease the pain here. If I disable Multiple Processes in Firefox v138.0.1, will I have problems running, for example, 5 windows with a total of 30 tabs spread across those Windows? (God knows I don't wanna have to grow up and actually manage the things I open up for stuff.) In addition, I am running Canva, sometimes Paint 3D, and Office 2021 concurrently. An associated question........in this most recent Firefox, how do I run Multiple processes, but limit the number of them to 5, for example? There used to be a setting in Firefox to do that, but I can't find it. I'm working with Windows 11-v24H2 on a Dell Inspiron 17 with an Intel Core i7-8550U CPU (about 7 years old) and 16Gb of Ram.........and sometimes I fall asleep waiting for many tabs, windows, and instances of Office 2021 to come back to work (I'm thinking they signed a Union deal, and didn't tell me about it.).

This has been going on and getting progressively worse for about 3-4 months.

Advice? Suggestions? I'd be truly grateful for any ideas you got.

Hello. For a while now I have been using the picture-in-picture feature to play a video in the corner while using other applications. It has been a great help as I have a single monitor.

Unfortunately, I have recently been encountering a severe issue with the feature over the last week. When attempting to use picture-in-picture while my computer is running a videogame (through Steam) my entire system will freeze. The audio still plays as normal, but the image is frozen and the system is unresponsive until I force a shutdown and reboot.

Any help at all in with this issue would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Why is the sessionstore.jsonlz4 generated from a private firefox window ? It is not private anymore if the session is stored in place of the regular session, which by the way happens not to be generated when the regular firefox window is closed while a private firefox window is still open. The private firefox window should have no effect on the regular session storage and should never be stored, all this is very confusing.

My laptop (a Lenovo Ideapad220s) did an automatic Windows 11 update (I believe it was the 2H24 update). After that Firefox (version 133, 64 bit) would only open with the message "Gah. Your tab just crashed". Nothing I tried has worked, not any of the remedies found in support pages. I somehow did a Firefox software update and it shows as a separate icon and has not migrated any of the passwords and bookmarks I had in the software version that keeps crashing (my default browser). Trying to get access to the encrypted passwords to the many sites I've got with Firefox I opened the browser in troubleshooting mode. In this mode I have access to all the passwords saved over time, and the browser seems to work fine.

Any suggestions on what I need to fix or if this is related to the Windows update? I'd like not to have to go through the two-step process to use the browser.

Thanks!

When I am trying to upload a file to any website in Firefox the right click context menu options are all missing. I have tried a new profile, troubleshoot mode, seems like nothing fixes it. Other browsers work like intended so I know it is Firefox internal
