Firefox Community Forum

Hello everyone, I run into a problem setting up my new mini PC, Geekom A6. I downloaded Firefox as usual from https://www.firefox.com/de/. I started the installation, and everything went through perfectly fine. When I expected that Firefox would start, only the Profile Manager started. When I try to create a new profile, the wizard appears for a millisecond and closes instantly. Here's the whole start process as a video: https://streamable.com/zkeb46 https://streamable.com/zkeb46

What I already tried to fix it:

• Run Firefox as Admin -> nothing changed
• Rename profiles ini -> nothing changed; ini was not newly created.
• Manually create the Profiles folder. That actually let me start the wizard but would end in this failure message:

"Profile couldn’t be created. Probably the chosen folder isn’t writable. [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80520015 (NS_ERROR_FILE_ACCESS_DENIED) [nsIToolkitProfileService.createProfile]" nsresult: "0x80520015 (NS_ERROR_FILE_ACCESS_DENIED)" location: "JS frame :: chrome://mozapps/content/profile/createProfileWizard.js :: onFinish :: line 250" data: no]" I gave this folder every access right for everyone, but still the same error. I tried to choose a custom folder, which worked (once in Document and once in C:/Firefox/Profile). But when I wanted to start Firefox, this error came: "An unexpected error has prevented your changes from being saved." and the option to restart Firefox. When I do so, I am once again back at the Firefox profile selection (but the previously created profile is not visible to select).

• Use an older installer of Firefox -> I tried 1.40, 1.39, and 1.38, but the same problem everywhere.
• Using winget but that led to the same error.
• Starting firefox in save mode (firefox -safe-mode) also leads to Profile Manager

I am using the latest Windows 11 24H2 and drivers are up to date.

I hope you can help me using Firefox on this device.

I'm reading on https://beginningaftertheendmanga.org and there's an extra white space between all of the images which is obviously not supposed to be there. Inspecting the page source shows that there are
tags between all of the images to make them stack vertically. Is there a way to remove the white space introduced by these line breaks?

I've tried switching firefox to compact mode, but it didn't help.

I have read all your tutorials. I was unable to have an important televisit with my doctor yesterday because nothing I tried worked. I am unable to use webcam for other sites until I resolve this problem. Previously I had no problem with my webcam but recently had to get new pc with windows 11 & needs to configure my pc to address this issue. I have another appt scheduled with another doctor & need to fix this problem asap Thanks

I am using FF desktop. All of a sudden, I get no sound through my laptop speakers when trying to watch videos (on YT and FB for example). I still get sound if I use external speakers through the 3.5" jack. I still get sound through other browsers, no matter if it's through the laptop speakers or external ones. So, it is definitely an FF problem. Sound works fine on all other media files on the laptop. Refreshing FF didn't fix it. Nor did reinstalling or restarting the laptop. I tried changing the autoplay settings as suggested in the help article, but still no laptop audio via FF. How can I fix this? Thanks

Здравствуйте. Во время навигации youtube на главной странице если просто НАВЕСТИ мышкой на "На предыдущую страницу (Alt+Влево)" то ИНОГДА играет непонятная музыка или какой-то непонятный ролик, который я НЕ ВКЛЮЧАЛ. Важно: самого видео этого неизвестного ролика нет, играет просто звук. Другие вкладки браузера закрыты, открыта только вкладка youtube. Использую firefox esr, так как у меня виндовс 7, использую свежую версию firefox esr. Расширения, которые установлены - Ublock origin и uvpn. Не знаю, мог ли подхватить неизвестный вирус? Просканировал ESET, потом поставил антивирус comodo - все чисто по мнению данных антивирусных проверок, но вот проблема не решилась. Очень хотел бы, чтобы вы разобрались с этим вопросом. Ответ отправьте пожалуйста на почту [email 1 removed]@ukr.net или [email 2 removed]@gmail.com ( на любую почту, на какую будет удобней).

Перевод/translate:

Hello. When navigating YouTube on the main page, if you simply Hover the mouse over "Previous page (Alt+Left)", then SOMETIMES strange music or some strange video plays. Important: there is no video of this unknown video, just the sound plays. Other browser tabs are closed, only the YouTube tab is open. I use Firefox ESR, since I have Windows 7, I use the latest version of Firefox ESR. The extensions that are installed are Ublock origin and uvpn. I don't know if it could have been infected by an unknown virus? I scanned with ESET, installed Comodo, but the problem was not solved. I would really like you to sort this out. Please send the answer to [email 1 removed]@ukr.net or [email 2 removed]@gmail.com (to any email that is more convenient).

My Firefox browser always forces me to turn off my Nvidia instant replay feature when opened, with a pop-up message saying 'Protected application is blocking desktop recording'. How can I set it up to avoid conflicts between Firefox browser and this feature?

Ok so we have a 64bit windows PC that works very well but will not load one of our supplier website which is quite important. I have the site working on other PC's but for some reason Firefox on this PC does not like the site at all I get many messages with uplaod errors. SSL_ERROR_RX_UNEXPECTED_RECORD_TYPE being one Error code: SSL_ERROR_BAD_MAC_READ being another.

We must have some security settings wrong in Firefox but we are unable to pinpoint what we need to do to get this to work?

Can you help please

I just want the "X" button that used to be next to refresh page button or at least the option to enable it in the settings and to have it. If there is such a setting, please someone navigate me to it.

I have a new computer. Firefox looks different. No trouble syncing bookmarks in the past now it wont do it. Cannot figure it out. The icon that aways showed/hid the toolbar in there but doesnt see the bookmarks ,but I can get the book marks up in some strange place I cant even browse to. Just want synced left handed bookmark sidebar PLEASE

Specifically Youtube videos and nothing else either don't load at all, load only the first 10 seconds and then buffer, or load partially after ~20 minutes. No error message. Only in Firefox.

I tried: Reinstalling Firefox Switching profiles Disabling all extensions Running in safe mode Clearing cache and cookies

It's been like this for a couple of months. Been circumventing it by playing videos in a different browser, but would be nice if I could fix it.

Hey,

Since two or three weeks, Mozilla Firefox often crashes on my computer. I have a pretty decent et recent setup, except for my old Nvidia 2070SUPER. It has never happened for years so I'm worried about it.

Here are my most recent crashes :

- bp-143dbb7e-445e-4d49-869b-cf37b0250718 - bp-89dda5c4-231b-451f-9d7b-d4e150250718 - bp-6269dc7c-ed7c-4d04-8a47-37ee90250718 - bp-cf8d230b-f493-4feb-bf04-4d7ef0250718 - bp-a30fa4d5-c051-4203-ba9a-b596d0250718

Could you help me ?

Thank you,

Guillaume

Hello, I have added quite a number of bookmarks to my Firefox app on my iPad. I’m set up for syncing to my iPhone. I’ve tapped sync now on my iPhone and on the iPad, but only a few of the bookmarks have synced to the iPhone. I’ve also shut down and rebooted both devices. Both are signed in via email and set up for syncing, so I’m at a loss as to what to do next. Does it just take time? Any advice? Thank you.
