Firefox Community Forum

I have no idea what is happening. Whenever I try to use youtube on firefox the site just freezes. I can still scroll up and down, but nothing that wasn't already loaded loads, I can't click on anything, and nothing except scrolling does anything.

The reload, home, and even screenshot buttons don't work in these frozen youtube tabs. The only way to do anything is to open a new tab and close the frozen youtube one.

Youtube is completely unusable because of this.

I turned off every single addon, I restarted firefox, I restarted the entire computer, I tried in a private tab. It still freezes every time.

I don't have a VPN, I do not have the problem on any other website (even other media-players), and I don't have a clue what is happening.

I do have youtube premium.

Any help would be appreciated. I need to watch stuff for my studies but I just can't

Operating system: Windows 11

After the latest update, a website I use (https://compcon.app/) started throwing the following errors:

downloadable font: CFF : Failed validating CharStrings INDEX (font-family: "Helvetica Bold" style:normal weight:700 stretch:100 src index:0) source: https://compcon.app/assets/Helvetica-Bold-DaBjwqT2.otf downloadable font: CFF : Failed to parse table (font-family: "Helvetica Bold" style:normal weight:700 stretch:100 src index:0) source: https://compcon.app/assets/Helvetica-Bold-DaBjwqT2.otf downloadable font: rejected by sanitizer (font-family: "Helvetica Bold" style:normal weight:700 stretch:100 src index:0) source: https://compcon.app/assets/Helvetica-Bold-DaBjwqT2.otf

It can't load the font the website is asking it to use and is replacing it with a default one instead.

Do you know how to fix this? Either on my end or theirs?

the resolution offered to my earlier question about removal of logo did not help and the youtube video also did not help. What am I doing wrong? Please consider me a tech 'idiot'.

Hi, I realized the other day when I went to use firefox that my bookmarks and history were all missing from firefox. I first tried to see if it was a profile issue like listed here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/recover-lost-or-missing-bookmarks but even though it had another profile my history and bookmarks weren't in the other other profile either. Next I tried the next method on the page where it says you can go to manage bookmarks then once in your library you can click restore to fix it but it refuses to bring up any files or folders when I do this. Also the library is totally empty and there's none of the previous shortcuts that show up from your most common pages when you open the new tabs, but when I opened firefox the first time it had the tabs I was previously on when I opened it like the previous session. My computer is very old and sometimes doesn't like to open new applications but a web browser or folder is basic enough that I've never really had issues with it other than slowness.

I apologize for the stupid question and greatly appreciate your patience. Thank you very much for any help in advance.

Bonjour, Quand je suis connecté à mon compte Mozilla, je ne vois pas apparaître l’icône VPN en haut à droite, et je ne la vois pas non plus dans la personnalisation de la barre d'outil. Merci pour votre aide. Cordialement

Hello,

In Firefox (up to date), the “module” (right-click) that allows for direct translation is great, and I want to thank you for it.

However, do you plan to keep the “Windows 98-style” stamp-like format of the dialog box that opens for much longer? In 2026, on 27-inch screens, it’s honestly very annoying—even if you can zoom in just a tiny bit, it’s a pointless step and not ergonomic at all! It’s the little details like this that make us look elsewhere!

Thank you in advance for your understanding!

Before reinstalling Windows, I made a backup, but since I didn't update the system until a day later due to work, I forgot the backup password. I've tried every password I could think of, and I don't know what to do now.

Greetings...

I successfully deleted the new weather widget that appears at the top right of my Firefox homepage but the horizontal space at the top of my homepage remains. I followed all of the steps (3) to delete the weather widget but none of them also deleted the horizontal space. As a result, there is a wide white top "margin" that appears on my homepage, below which the customary Firefox graphic logo appears.

On my Firefox homepage, I have three rows of shortcuts that now appear lower on the homepage and a vertical scroll bar now appears on the right side of the homepage. Before the new weather widget appeared on my homepage, the three rows of shortcuts were vertically centered on the homepage, without the need for a vertical scroll bar to appear.

Either there is a way that the horizontal space at the top of my homepage can be deleted, or I will have to resort to creating a custom HTML webpage containing my shortcuts.

Please advise which solution will resolve this problem. Thank you very much for your time and feedback.

Take care...

Default homepage is yahoo. Since the update to version 149, if I do a search from yahoo, the new tab that opens with the search result is blank most of the time. I have to click reload for the search results to show up.

Is anybody else having that problem? Seems to be yahoo search specific but not 100% sure.
