It even happened while I was playing MMOs, making it crash.

I am using Zone Alarm Antivirus + Firewall, which does not find any malware on my computer. I NEVER use MSN news, so for the time being I placed the site on block list.

I am very concerned with FF (up to date) launching on its own, regardless which site it opens; that could be a breach of security in FF code itself.

I use the closed captions (CC) in YouTube videos with FireFox. Lately I have been seeing videos that seem to misbehave. At the very start of the video, ALL the captions display at once, one after the other. Then, as play continues there are no more captions. Most videos still show captions normally, that is, captions appearing only when the dialog matches them. But a few videos misbehave by showing all the captions at once. Here is one such video.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgqJ5wQF944

I noticed this misbehavior within the last month and assumed that the video was doing something peculiar with the timing of the captions. But when I use the YouTube Show Transcript option to display the captions and associated timing outside the video, the transcript looks quite reasonable.

One further oddity, if I take that same URL and load the video in a different browser, for example, Chrome, the captions are displayed normally.

I've included a screen shot of the video in YouTube showing all the captions displaying at once.

Hi, I am working on websocket with javascript and php. Let me share my code here:

index.php is:

server.php is:

     protected $clients;
     public function __construct() {
       $this->clients = new \SplObjectStorage;
     }
   public function onOpen(ConnectionInterface $conn) {
       $request = $conn->httpRequest;
       // Handle the WebSocket handshake here
       // You can perform any necessary checks or validation before accepting the connection
        // Example: Check if the WebSocket upgrade header is present
       if (!$request->hasHeader('Upgrade') || strtolower($request->getHeader('Upgrade')[0]) !== 'websocket') {
           // Close the connection if the Upgrade header is missing or incorrect
           $conn->close();
           return;
       }
        // Example: Check if the request contains the expected WebSocket version
        if (!$request->hasHeader('Sec-WebSocket-Version') || $request->getHeader('Sec-WebSocket-Version')[0] !== '13') {
           // Close the connection if the WebSocket version is not supported
           $conn->close();
           return;
        }
        // Example: Check other necessary conditions
        // Store the connection
        $this->clients->attach($conn);
      }
     public function onMessage(ConnectionInterface $from, $msg) {
       $message = htmlspecialchars($msg);
       foreach ($this->clients as $client) {
         $client->send($message);
       }
      }
     public function onClose(ConnectionInterface $conn) {
       $this->clients->detach($conn);
     }
     public function onError(ConnectionInterface $conn, \Exception $e) {
       echo "An error has occurred: {$e->getMessage()}\n";
       $conn->close();
     }
    }
    $chat = new Chat;
    $server = IoServer::factory(
     new HttpServer(
       new WsServer($chat)
     ),
     8080
   );
   $server->run();

The websocket is working all the browser except only firefox. It gives error: Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at wss://cstechnologyindia.com/websocket1.

I am trying to solve it from past 2 days. I'm using a shared hosting. The hosting provider is saying that everything is perfect from our side. Now I'm hopeless. Please solve my problem anyone. Please check added image. Also I've valid https certificate. Please check attached image.

When using Chrome, I can easily save a website article on Google Drive from Pocket by printing as a pdf. However, when I try to perform the same activity when using Firefox, I get the dialogue box below. I really want to make Firefox my default browser but not being able to save from Pocket (or the web) to Google Drive when in Firefox is a deal breaker. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

As many others have said (however those posts are locked so i cannot reply) Firefox seems to randomly lose the ability to save shortcuts, (by dragging from the address bar) to the desktop.

Restart a few times, wait, random things, and it comes back next time you try... been bugging me for years. Seems to occur when firefox has been running for some time with lots of tabs open. As others have said, it displays a little "NO" icon (circle with a line through it) when trying to drag the URL from the lock or favicon section of the address bar, to the desktop. Other times it works fine.

I searched a bit, but perhaps someone has another idea on how to fix this permanently, or how to recover from it without restarting the computer. Firefox version is 110.0.1.

PS. I would re think the idea of archiving posts. Because its nice to be able to reply to old posts, even if they are "solved". The original poster may have found a solution and never posted about it, for instance.

I use mozilla on two machines. They both have gotten to where they lock up when trying to access a second page. The normal place they lockup is "waiting nexusensighten.com". I talked with etrade and they had me try MS edge. It works without a problem. I've started having the same problem with yahoo mail.

I deleted cache and cookies numerous time. Etrade guy had me just type etrade.com to get started. It didn't help.

I update automatically. Thanks for your help.

I get these updates just to stop the annoying side popup/down. But what I get usually is no use to me and my browsing. What it seems to me is most update's "Fixes" are just for the dudes that keep playing with/building on the browser and screwing it up.

Plus I don't get to see WHAT the new update fixes are UNTIL I've downloaded the update.
 I sure wish that you...someone.... puts the option BACK IN where a person can stop/ignore updates....COMPLETELY! 
With the last 2 or 3 updates it seems... for my use of the browser... makes it a hell of a lot SLOWER. And a ton more pauses and crashes.  
Firefox was a great browser 10 years ago but with all these geeks playing with it and trying to make it ONLY to suit his/her needs is making it a pain.
 Thanks for anyone reading this.
