Video on certain sites stops working after about an hour of Firefox usage

Hello,

For two firefox updates, I've been having an issue where after about an hour or two of using firefox (it varies), video players on most websites will stop working. Almost every website except for Youtube's videoplayer stops working after an hour, all at once. Restarting firefox fixes it, but it's very annoying to restart firefox every couple of hours, and seems like a problem.

The following things didn't fix it: clearing my cache, disabling my addons one by one, turning off hardware acceleration, trying to watch the video in a private window, or reinstalling firefox. I don't know what's left to try. It has nothing to do with my audio devices.

Please advise, thank you!

I learned the hard way about a month ago that my main bank will not work with firefox. I've now received notices from two other banks that state they only support safari on Mac. I have run into issues with some others that will either give errors but still allow me to pass through or others that state I have an unsupported browser but still allow me to log into the site - for now.

With this wide a net, this seems to be specific to the security issues in the Mac browser. Is this already being looked into? Is this specific to the new OS and firefox integration?

While I basically trust Safari, I certainly don't want to use it unless I have to and I generally use firefox exclusively on all my Macs and PCs. Can someone shine a light on this? Is there an upgrade or update planned?

Thanks

I have quite a few tiles on firefox I can not delete. They will sometime move around the page but will not go away. I switched to firefox recently because of IE going away and have been trying for several months with no results. I'm not sure what the boxes on the home screen are called but hope someone understands what I mean.

Hi guys, In a company we use Excel online for filling some information internally. The problem is next:

  • Open sheet>enter information>TAB(s)>Enter=information entered, rows are okay;
  • Ctrt+F/Scroll up for older case>copy>go to end>paste=information is there, but row number is moved for a rown down.

This doesn't happen on Chrome(tested). Attached are few examples. Waiting for your reply.

Cheers!

For some reason it seems like under windows 11 with a HDR display, websites like YouTube don't allow for HDR media playback. This is really disappointing and a major flaw as HDR media is definitely the future. And this has been working just fine in any chrome based browser for years now.

Is there any way to enable this?

Thanks for your time and help.

I clicked in refresh thinking it would just reload it all. I am pissed as I just got back most of my extensions, (just not all) You could also make a list of Extensions that could be clicked on to reinstall them one at a time or all at once.

This is getting old, I prefer Firefox over Edge or all other browsers, as of this text I am thinking of looking for anything better, as it is getting crappy.

Recently I am continuously proposed to install updates. I do that, but I think the installation may fail, because immediately after restarting Firefox I'm proposed to install a new update. I have Firefox set up to download updates as soon as they are available.

The version I'm using is 104.0, which should be the latest one available for desktop, therefore I don't understand why the browser is trying to load again the update.

Hello Community. Why is the bold blue text in the Google search results being truncated whenever there is a picture shown beside it? See my screen capture with yellow highlights to see what I mean. It's been happening for some months. I have reinstalled Firefox but the problem persists. Other browsers displaying the same pages are fine.

This is a recent change -- the desktop browser didn't do this until a few weeks ago. It now plays slideshows automatically. This feature is called Auto-Rotation, but it has nothing to do with rotating the display on a phone or tablet (although that feature has the same name). This feature automatically rotates among the slides in a slideshow. It's incredibly annoying, especially since I typically forget its on (or don't realize I'm looking at a slideshow) and it changes to the 2nd slide just as I have begun reading the 1st. I then have to turn Auto-Rotation off and go back to the 1st slide to continue. When I remember, I have to hurry to turn Auto-Rotation off before it moves to the 2nd slide. Is there any way to turn this off? I can't find one by looking through Settings, and there's nothing on this subject in Help, that I can find. For what it's worth, whoever thought this was a good idea was wrong, but if there's a way to change so it's not the default, I'll be content.

The password program does not display the entire page when I signed in and using the program. The program works perfectly using other browsers(Edge / Chrome), it's only on Firefox that I have this problem. I've worked with the password people and they can't fix the problem either.

I've attached a screen shot of problem. The box with the red bar at the top should also have a red bar box at the bottom, bit all you can see is a sliver of red at the bottom.
