Firefox Community Forum

Hi,

How can I force Nightly to play a media type ? Per instance, the top main video here : https://www.lapresse.ca/international/asie-et-oceanie/2025-12-23/coree-du-nord/kim-jong-un-inaugure-un-complexe-hotelier-dans-une-station-de-montagne.php

Best regards iBenny

I play online bridge (Trickster) twice a week and set up Firefox to share video and sound with my USB mic. (Windows 10 desktop, Trickster opened in Firefox). Most of the time it works fine but occasionally the other bridge players will tell me they can no longer hear me. When I click on the mic icon the message is that Firefox is using the mic. The settings still say that the mic is being shared. Sometimes a windows reset will fix the problem but not always. Can you explain what might be happening.

After opening a YouTube page and selecting a video to watch, I get a second page with the word DOWNLOADING on it. Sometimes is just another blank page that goes away almost immediately. This happen often.

Bitte wie kann ich dauerhaft einstellen (bei Firefox), dass Videos, die ich mir anschauen möchte, generell mit Ton starten (wie zb die ZDF Mediathek)?? Ich bitte um Hilfe, besten Dank, mfG S.Schäfer

As the title says. I get this prompt on videos from different, yet particular websites and sources. And they fail to load. It's also happened where some video's work and some don't, side-by-side on the same website and session.

• I've tried clearing all of my cached data, my browser history, cookies, site-data, settings, and fill-out information. No avail.
• I've tried disabling all of my extensions and add-ons.
• I've even tried using google instead, but I just get constant loading on those particular video's with no thumbnail (As depicted in second picture).
• I've checked my video drivers for updates.
• I've tried reinstalling Adobe Flash Player, even though it says it's no longer supported.

Since it also might be happening in another browser. I understand how this might not be Firefox's fault. But I'm hoping you'll be able to help me still.

Hello Mozilla Support Team,

from yesterday playback speed on youtube is not working. When I open the same video with Edge playback speed is available.

Could you please check and rework?

Thanks in advance.

Many greetings Stefan

When watching a video on a platform and the video needs to load, instead of pausing to load then play it once again, it doesn't stop, making the video audio sound so glitchy that you can't understand it

surprisingly, it works as expected on youtube

I am do not get sound using audio recorded with akamai player with Fire Fox browser. I tried the same link using Edge browser and the audio works.

I have tried clearing the cache, but still no sound.

How do I resolve this issue using Fire Fox as my default browser? Is there an audio extension that is needed?

When playing YouTube videos in fullscreen mode, the video appears to skip as would be expected with frame drops. However, with stats for nerds open on the videos, no frame drops are reported and buffer health is fine (40+ seconds).

I'm on an up to date version of FireFox, I've tried with hardware acceleration both enabled and disabled, I've tried opening task manager to see if system usage looked weird (it doesn't, although it's not like I can have TM running while the video is playing in fullscreen so hard to tell) and am at a complete loss. All drivers for CPU and GPU are verifiably up to date (did full system check three days ago) and the only conclusion I've been able to come to is that it must be either a problem with FireFox or a problem with YouTube. I've seen no recent reports on any of the forums that I can find pointing to either as the culprit. So if anyone has any further ideas or solutions, I'd love to here them.

Hi, after my firefox updated the media buttons from my keyboard only seem to work intermittently with it.

At the moment they don't work when firefox is minimized, but yesterday they didn't work when maximised either.

No problems in Chrome or local media players.

media.hardwaremediakeys.enabled is set to 'true' in about:config

I am currently listed as on version 152.0.3, 64 bit windows.
