When I play a video in VLC (latest version), or music in WinAmp (yes, it's old but I love it) and load a page in Firefox, this interferes with the video/audio in VLC, or the audio in WinAmp. I tried fiddling with the performance "Enable hardware accelleration" in Firefox settings, but that didn't change this behaviour. How can this be fixed?

Hi, I have a Windows 11 Home 64bit and I am using the latest version of Firefox 141.0 64 Bit.

This issue isn't just on the latest version though, it's been happening for a long time and i can't seem to find why.

I will click on my Firefox bookmark and the page will show up fine as normal, quite often, I will then click on a link within the page and nothing happens, I can see at the tab it's showing it's trying to load, but this just stops after a while. I don;t get an error page etc.. it just stops and goes no further.

This issue seems only to happen on Amazon.co.uk I don't seem to have this issue with any other site, which is odd, as it seems an issue specific to that site.

If I leave it a while, eventually the link will just start to work, and then the rest of the site seems fine, then out of the blue, it might start doing it again.

I have tried things like clearing the cookies for the site, clearing cache etc but still seems to happen.

Does anyone know what it could be?

since i did the update, the website https://www.thediscerninglistener.com.au/membersaccess https://thediscerninglistener.com.au/acousticanalysisandtreatmentcalculator#acoustic-analysis-treatment-calculator doesnt open, but with chrome and edge it works perfectly, why can i access a favorite website and it's features with Chrome and Edge but not with firefox?? i'll start using chrome as my default browser shall i?

It seems that since the Version 141.0 update, initial startup of FF seems to take ve-e-e-ery long (approx 3-4 minutes).

The startup time/lag seems almost the same as it takes to restart after an update.

Anyone else experience this also? Thanks.

Hello,

I'm experiencing an issue with Firefox Sync that has become increasingly frustrating over time. Every time I reinstall Firefox on a new system and sign in to my Mozilla (Firefox) Account, not all of my previously selected settings are restored, only some of them appear to sync correctly.

For clarity, I have Sync configured to include only the following:

• Bookmarks
• Add-ons
• Settings

I intentionally do not sync:

• Passwords
• History
• Addresses
• Open tabs
• Payment methods

Despite syncing "Settings," many of my custom configurations (such as certain privacy preferences and UI tweaks (customized toolbar) do not get restored. This forces me to manually go through all the settings each time, compare them to my previous setup, and reconfigure Firefox, which defeats much of the purpose of having a sync feature in the first place.

I have never faced this issue with Chromium-based browsers, where settings sync tends to be more comprehensive and consistent.

My questions:

1. Why are some Firefox settings not included in the sync process?
2. Is there a documented list of which settings are actually synced when "Settings" is enabled in Sync?
3. Are there any plans to improve the completeness of settings synchronization in future Firefox releases?

Any insight or official guidance would be greatly appreciated. I really value Firefox, but this ongoing sync limitation is making it harder to maintain a consistent browsing experience across devices.

Thank you for your support.

Dear Firefox Support Team,

Hello, I’m writing to ask for help regarding a serious issue I encountered while trying to install the international version of Firefox.

Since the Chinese edition of Firefox is shutting down soon, I backed up all my data and uninstalled the previous version tonight. I then tried to install the international version of Firefox. However, during the installation process, I ran into a major issue — the installation was extremely slow, and even after waiting for over an hour, it still did not complete.

I’m not sure what’s causing this problem, and I’d really appreciate any support or suggestions you can offer. I truly enjoy using Firefox and value the experience it provides. I sincerely hope I can continue using it without interruptions.

Could you please advise me on what I can do to fix this and successfully install the new version?

Looking forward to your kind assistance.

Best regards, Lily

Hi, I have a laptop and connected additional monitor. FF works normally until I move the floating video window to another monitor. Then it 'rescales' itself, the floating video changes ratio and can't be in full screen. When I move back to FF and want to make a normal full video (YouTube) I don't see anything because I can see using alt+tab that FF minizes itself to the most smaller window. The full screen youtube video also is just a fraction of the full screen - I can see the scroll bars but there is no way to extend it to full monitor. To reset it I have to switch off FF or alt+tab, then windows+arrow to make other program to occupy for example half the screen and chose FF to feel the rest and then extend and full screen again.

It's only happening with connected monitor that extends my monitor.

Hi, i am trying to upload a Firefox extension, it is my first one and i am trying to upload it. I however cannot get it to work as the code my authentication app does not work.

Is their a fix to this, so far i tried using google authenticator and DuoMoblile. Thanks

Hi!

My problem is that I had a synced account, and I had to redownload windows11 to my computer. Naturally, I was logged out. When I logged back in, I had forgotten my password so I made a new one, and once I got in to my account everything was missing. The only password it had was the mozilla one I had just reset and saved. I still have some files in my file explorer but none of them seem to do anything.

What should I do? Is there any way of getting my bookmarks and passwords back?

Thank you.
