Most other forums don't impose this type of limited categorization. What is the best way to proceed here when you topic here doesn't have an obvious fit? This is not uncommon. Should I be concerned that my question won't get to the right eyes/assistance needed?

Some venues offer the ability to add tags. Why not give us the ability to add "tags" if you believe someone sort of pre-designation is necessary? Does that qualify for my choosing this topic?

How about "other"?

My YouTube homepage is blank when I visit using Firefox (see attached screenshot). Here is a list of all of the fixes I have tried:

-Disabling all extensions and turning off Enhanced Tracking Protection (at the same time) -Clearing cache -Clicking 'forget this site' on YouTube in my browser history -Restarting my PC/Firefox -Refreshing Firefox profile (this worked, but the issue returned after an hour) -Changing my system theme to light mode -Launching Firefox in troubleshoot mode -Logging in on an incognito window (with the same result) -Probably some other things I'm missing (I tried pretty much every result I could find from looking up 'YouTube homepage is blank' and 'YouTube homepage not loading).

The issue only occurs on Firefox and only after I log in to YouTube. This has never occurred before. I checked to make sure my Firefox and YouTube settings are the same as they've always been.

YouTube videos load fine as long as I paste the direct link into the URL bar, but ONLY the video (no comments, recommended videos, likes/dislikes, description, etc...) and I can't take it out of theatre mode nor fullscreen it (fullscreening it just removes the top bar of the browser--the video itself still has black bars on the sides).

Sometimes when I reload the page, I see the following at the end of the URL: &ThemeRefresh=1. I don't know if that means anything.

I am using the Firefox app on Windows 11. I am not using a VPN. This issue is specific to YouTube and YouTube only.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I had a Firefox update yesterday, April 29th. Since then, my Bookmarks sidebar no longer opens automatically when I open my Firefox browser. I have to go to the sidebar icon at the upper right of my screen to open the Bookmarks. I went to my settings, and the box for automatic opening was not checked. I checked the box, and it still does not function. Any ideas as to what the problem is, and what the solution could be?

Hello, I'm a blind, screen reader user. I've used FireFox and Thunderbird for years. In the last month-ish something has changed in the Update Dialog for both apps, that asks if you want to allow the app to make changes to your hard drive. With Jaws and NVDA screen readers, this dialog has normally spoken, so I can Tab to the Yes button, press Enter, the update happens and all is well. Suddenly, this dialog doesn't speak... not a word. Don't know where I am at all. I've tried pressing Alt-Y, which is a Windows accessibility standard for pressing a Yes button, but that hasn't worked in the past, and doesn't work now. I am blessed with a sighted husband. When this dialog has come up in FireFox and Thunderbird the last month, he has kindly bailed me out and clicked Yes. But this is a nightmare accessibility problem. Using only a screen reader there is no way out of this. Escape doesn't get rid of the dialog and just not update. The dialog sits on the screen, not speaking until you take some action. In fact, the first time this happened I couldn't figure out what was going on, but tried to handle it myself. Nothing talked, so in the middle of things, I used the power button to shut down. Well... we think I shut down in the middle of the app attempting to update. So my laptop came up with an error on the screen, and we actually had to use my husband's computer to get into my Microsoft account and dig up a huge numeric code that would allow my laptop to boot. It was bad and took a long time, and my husband is a saint. So... something changed about a month ago in the Update Dialogs for both FireFox and Thunderbird, that causes them to no longer be readable by screen readers. There is not a keyboard way to just press Yes. There's not actually a way to know for sure that the reason the computer won't talk is because this Update Dialog is sitting on the screen. The developers need to know this has happened and fix it. I don't know any other way to reach them. Thanks!

I use several browsers and when it comes to functionality I consider FFox to be the best however with 1 major drawback - it's speed / lag issues which is why I stopped using it as my primary browser and only as secondary one

I can have 2 different Chromium based browsers open simultaneously and while this impacts the performance somewhat if I open Firefox and another browser responsiveness grinds to a halt (sometimes even crashes)

Even just starting Firefox by itself takes 5x as long as other browsers

So I'm wondering is Firefox just more resource intensive or is there something wrong with my setup?


The main difference between my Firefox install and my other browsers is the number of Bookmarks (10000s) due to me having it installed for much longer so is it possible for a large number of Bookmarks to slow the browser down even when not open ?

Other possible causes I read elsewhere are 'Cookies and site data' (currently around 50mb)

I clear the 'Temporary cached files' & 'Browsing history' on regular basis so they shouldn't be an issue


The add-ons I have installed are NoScript , Ublock Origin & Firefox Color


In regards to troubleshooting is it possible to install a 2nd install on the same system simultaneously without overwriting the current one ?


Thanks

Previously I could change the color of ONLY visited links. 138 broke that ability and replaced it with a contrast setting that changes every kind of link color and the page background color/design too. This totally stinks and makes the visited web pages look terrible and hard to read too.

Is there a way to set FF so that ONLY visited link colors can be changed to the preferred one?

Hello everyone. Google keeps telling me there is unusual traffic coming from my computer and requires captcha all the time. It only happens with Firefox and only when I launch a search from a blank tab, not from bookmarks. Environment : Firefox (last version) Windows 11 Family (updated), antivirus Bitdefender (support team does not detect any problem).

Please can anyone help me fix that ?

Thks a lot. Edms
