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

How in the heck do you increase the size of the UI font? I have a 1440P monitor and the TINY size of the UI font makes it nearly impossible to read the text on the menu buttons, I have lean forward and squint to read it because they are so damn small. I can't find anything in the settings to make the UI text larger. It is as if some dummy hard coded the UI font size so it's impossible for the average person to find out how to change it. It makes no sense whatsoever.

And please don't tell me to increase the zoom in the Windows settings, because that screws up EVERYTHING else...

Another thing that is driving me crazy is how do you set it so that scrolling with the mouse wheel is smooth and not jerky? When i scroll with the mouse wheel, instead of smoothly moving the page up or down, it JERKS a couple of lines at a time. This is the only browser that it does that in. I have smooth scrolling ON in the mouse settings on my computer but for some reason, only Firefox is doing this.

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.

Recently transferred from Chrome. My understanding was Firefox private browsing was supposed to work similarly to chrome incognito mode; once you close the browser, all local files are deleted and cookies are cleared.

However, with Firefox it maintains my logins. If I log into an account while private browsing and the close the browser, I’ll still be logged in next time I go to the website even if it’s days later (and I have never logged into this account in a non-private browsing window!)

I never had this issue using chrome incognito, so it seems to be a Firefox problem.

Is this just not something Firefox supports? Is there any way to prevent storage of cookies and private data?

Hello, FF support forum,

I think I have seen a Container retain my login to a site when I open it again after closing it. Is there a way to configure Containers so that they are mini versions of the dump-cookies-temp-data when I close Firefox entirely? I would so love that functionality.

In Windows 11 settings > personalization > composition, is a way to change sounds like: error sound, connect device etc.. Before Firefox I used chrome and I set a sound for minimizing/maximizing and it worked. Whenever I minimized the browser it would play a custom sound. Since I started using Firefox the sounds don't seem to work anymore. Now I know the sound still works because when I minimize/maximize the file explorer it plays the custom sound. Is it not supposed to work or is it a bug? How can I make it play the custom sound? Thanks in advance :) (In Windows 10 it didn't work aswell)

The problem (Firefox being slow) happens within the confines of Troubleshoot Mode, I have already attempted a restart as well as clearing all temporary cached files and pages to no avail. While I did manage to make it better through setting my proxy settings to 'No Proxy', Firefox still seems to be running at a slower pace than even the dreaded Chrome. Youtube is the worst offender, with videos that used to run smoothly in Chrome now lagging, buffering, and moving so slow that Youtube is forced to automatically reduce the video quality (however, I should note that even on 360p do I encounter a large amount of slowness). Please note that I am a total dummy when it comes to technical stuff, so I will most likely need extensive and comprehensive instructions on ways to solve/diagnose this issue. I thank anyone who's willing to help me with this, it's the only thing that Firefox is worse at in comparison with Chrome.
