I want to report that updating to version 73.0 today - Feb. 11, 2020, caused Firefox to stop working entirely. I could not find answers in Support and ended up doing a system restore on my laptop in order to go back to Version 72.0. Now Firefox is working again. Never had this problem with previous updates. IF THIS UPDATE HAS BUGS can someone please try to fix them? Thank you!

Hello,
We have a problem with not having any audio from flash elements when connected via RDP to either Windows 10 or Windows Server 2012r2. All other forms of audio appear to work (Windows system, Youtube, Facebook, Spotify, etc...). I have adjusted the security.sandbox.content.level preference to 2 but did not resolve it.
Anyone else experience this?
Thank you!

I have version 72.0.2 of Firefox and recently I no longer have the option to auto-fill passwords saved in Norton Vault. All my passwords are safe in the Norton vault but normally I get a little circle at the end of the password field which gives me the option to auto-fill from Norton. Nothing I can do will fix this. Any clues as to how to get Firefox to link up again with Norton Vault? Many thanks

Starting about 02/11/2020, links in emails take me to a blank page and FireFox stops working. Must close FireFox.
I have neither added nor updated any add-ons.
I disabled all add-ons with no change.
Under Performance, I unchecked " Use recommended performance settings" and 'Use hardware acceleration when available". No change.
The only way a link works is if I have (basic) FireFox already running.
I have reversed the above changes and await HELP.

Anyone else getting this problem? Tested other sites and it works on places like Amazon, Ebay etc
It displays fine using Chrome.

Hello I have a problem... when Windows 10 starts, Firefox starts automatically and this is very annoying. I have read this article where it is explained how to solve the problem, but it DOES NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM, Firefox continues to start automatically when Windows 10 starts.
The article is this: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-starts-automatically-when-i-restart-window
I have changed the following entry:
toolkit.winRegisterApplicationRestart = false
...but it does not solve the problem. My Firefox starts automatically with all the tabs opened. I have several pinned tabs in my firefox, for Facebook, Instagram, etc. So... I shut down my computer, and when I turn it on, there I have firefox again starting automatically.
Any idea about how may I solve this? Thanks

I have tried some of the instructions in the articles and not getting anywhere. I did save a copy of my profile on a USB. I had moved files from my iCloud to my hard drive and when I tried to use Firefox, I got this error message. I moved the files back to the iCloud and still no difference. Please help.
I am not able to open Firefox at all.

At Vanguard a box to select an option was just not visible. Worked on Google. At several other sites the "I am not a robot" Captcha was just not there. Worked fine on Google. I have no special settings and my privacy setting is standard, with no special options selected. Windows 10, current all updates. Nothing unusual running except Avast Free. I'm going to have to stop using this program for anything productive until I get a fix here. Sorry, I really hate to use Google and let them sell my soul to everyone willing to pay to exploit me for profit.
Hello Team, We are facing audio mismatch in firefox, when we try playing the HTML5 audio from particular timeframe (Current time).

We have created highlight feature, i.e., the sentence will get highlighted when the audio is played, by used HTML5 audio. On click of each sentence, the audio should readout from particular duration. Example: if the sentence is started in 22.5 ms - 31.8. The audio should play only the duration set.
This works in other browsers. But in firefox, the audio and the text is not syncing and highlighting.
Is there any fix for this problem.

My wife & I have separate accounts in a fund, the web site is the same but the ID and passwords are different, I can make and save these in password manager but when I click on either one it only goes to the web site and doesn't fill in the data fields, associated with this, is also the issue of being able to ID which of the two logins in the list of available logins, belongs to which person ie how do I distinguish the web site data for a or b so as to make the job easier than manually logging in please? It'd be nice to be able to label these two logins in some way or use coloured text or similar?

I live in Sweden. My Windows 10 is in English. I have NO CONNECTION to Spanish. But still, when I installed Firefox, the installer was in Spanish. I double checked that I hadn't downloaded a Spanish version of some sort, but no. I didn't think more of it, since I was able to change the browser language to English upon installation. But now, upon updating Firefox, it has changed it back to Spanish and even though English (US) is ranked above Spanish in my list in "Options", all settings and websites are still showing in Spanish and I don't know why. Help is much appreciated and perhaps some developer can forward this as a bug report because I see no reason why this could have happened.

Firefox 68 ESR is the latest version for Linux system on Raspberry Pi but I don't know why it is not working with Webrtc. I had tested some Webrtc samples and website with Firefox 68.4.1ESR on Linux system of Raspberry Pi 3. They all return some errors. For example, AppRTC video chat client powered by Google App Engine: https://appr.tc/ The result is showing like the images. It can't show the device name when I accept the camera and microphone permission then return error message. Then I tried Firefox 60, it works fine with Webrtc sample on Raspberry Pi 3. As a final test, I downloaded the Firefox 68.4.1ESR version at my laptop with Win10 system and test it. Everything is fine. I am sure the camera and microphone is fine because Firefox 60 can run the sample normally. May I get some help to figure out the problem of the Firefox 68.4.1ESR on the Raspberry Pi with Linux system and how can I make it work with Webrtc?

Feature Suggestion: Default container option in Multi-Account Containers

Hi,
I would find it very useful to be able to designate a default container (which could be "No Container") for sites that are not already assigned to a container. In other words, with this feature, if a link is opened from a page in container X, but the link does not have a container associated with it, the tab would open in the default container rather than container X. To give a concrete example: My Google searches & news are in a Google container. When I click a search result, e.g., from a news organization that I don't visit enough to make a container for, I'd prefer it did not open in the Google container, but a different, generic one or No Container.
I realize there could be some odd side-effects if a site spans multiple domains or hosts if they're not all marked for one container, but as an optional feature I think it wouldn't bother people who don't want to deal with that possibility.
Another way to do something similar would be to allow users to mark a container as "exclusive," meaning any link not in the sites assigned to that container would automatically go to No Container in the absence of an assignment. These two options also be implemented and work together.
Apologies if this is the wrong place to post this or if there's already a way to do this that I just haven't found. Thanks for any help!

Is there any way to control specific url selections?
90% of the time i am using a browser, i am using one site (drive.google.com). But when i type in "d" the suggested url is ALWAYS 'docs.google.com' (see screenshots). It seems to be getting this from the url of individual documents in the history, as i NEVER use or want to go to 'docs.google.com', as it is just a less featured and organized version of 'drive.google.com'. But i can't seem to delete it! I would like to be able to have url suggestions from history, but not this specific one!
I am trying to migrate over to firefox from chrome, and as silly as it sounds i can't do that if typing in "d" doesn't get to my most-accessed site. It's really annoying to keep accidentally going to 'docs.google.com'.

Hello,
I'm using Firefox browser desktop ver 73.0 for Ubuntu 18.04 canonical 1.0. It was working great for many months. Now suddenly on all websites selection boxes and text are inverted. For example text has a white box around it. I went through all the settings in Firefox and nothing effects the problem. I can use Chrome fine but I hate it. Thank you
