Video's from https://abc7.com do not play. It's the only site this happens to. I don't know how to fix it. Win11. PC.

For roughly three months I have been experiencing issues with Twitch.tv that I do not have on other browsers. Namely, after a random period of time the site will just "go out" on me. I can keep watching streams that are open, but any attempt to open a new window or tab results in a page with no elements loaded. During this "out" period none of my chats will send, and any other attempts to interact with Twitch will fail. After a random period of time, things will go back to normal.

I've tried clearing my cache and cookies, I've tried disabling and uninstalling all of my extensions, I've tried updating the browser, I've uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox, I've tried Incognito Mode, I've tried a DNS flush, I've refreshed Firefox and it didn't work.

I have found one thing that has worked though. I created two new profiles. The first had the issues occur again, but the second one hasn't experienced any of the same issues as far as I've seen, so I think the issue is with my settings. The trouble is, I don't know which setting is the issue, and deleting prefs.js doesn't appear to reset my settings, even after restarting my browser. Is there some step I'm missing regarding deleting prefs.js?

Please do NOT suggest using Firefox Refresh, as I am NOT interested in going through all the steps again, especially when it didn't work at all the first time I tried.

Hi there, My laptop undertook an update for Firefox and I have just discovered that all of my bookmarks have disappeared and I cannot find anyway to restore these. My laptop cannot access any profile, I have followed advice in other posts, but I cannot find access to this data. I have lost all my Masters Degree bookmarks and my BSc, which I need access to asap to continue. Can you please advise on how I can get these back?

I have checked my mobile Firefox and it still has access to these bookmarks but there is no way for me to export these files out of my mobile. I am worried about undertaking a sync (although it says it has) in case it deletes all of these bookmarks.

Your help is greatly appreciated.

I try hard to use firefox in headless mode for a python selenium project in freebsd. But firefox complains about GPUs and the absense of a X-Server, but this is a headless mode and crashes with a segmentation fault. Why does it want a GPU and X-Server in headless mode? Does not make sense.

The output when i try to start is : " firefox --headless

• • • You are running in headless mode.

Can anyone help me? Best regards Josef

I am trying to find the files for my passwords from an old profile after Firefox just updated and created a new profile. I have just created a Mozzilla account so my profile can start to automatically update with all of my old passwords, but I first need to manually transfer them from my old profile that didn't have a Mozzilla account yet. I have been following the steps for doing so from the "help" pages, but I haven't been able to find the files for my passwords.

I was prompted to do an update today and it erased all my bookmarks. I have a saved bookmark file that is a JSON file type but it won't let me import that b/c it's not HTML. I have a lot of saved bookmarks for work and really need to get them back.

My understanding for profile feature was that bookmarks, user preferences were seperated. However my Pinned websites on my work profile in my work computer is synced to my personal profile at personal computer.

Is there a way to avoid this or is this unavoidable when using the sync function.

I don't know what to say. One day I had one row of frequently visited icons below the search bar in the middle of the page and the next day, they were gone. Any help, greatly appreciated.

All my Tabs Group have disappeared from the Tab Bar. I can see the Closed Tab Groups in the drop down but i can't find a way to re-open Closed Tab Groups. Any clues welcome. Running 146.0 and on the beta update channel.

Hi,

I recently had to reinstall Firefox. I made sure that settings etc were backed up in my Mozilla account, but I didn't realise that my custom search engines had not been backed up. I have about 20 of these custom search engines for work, so it was a pain to re-apply all of these. It's done now, but I'd like to know if there is a way to back these up for a quick restore on a reinstall?

There is no 'Search Engines' option in my Sync settings.

Thanks

Respected one, since 2 days ago, the sound was lost when playing video content on platform X. I did not make any changes in the settings for M.F. not even in PC, I HAVEN'T CHANGED ANYTHING FOR MONTHS. Do you have any ideas, advice... Thank You for taking the time to solve my problem.

Hello! I have a lot of PDFs on my computer, and every time I go to look at them, my browser immediately views it in "automatic zoom" and with the sidebar expanded. Is there a way to disable these features? I find myself fixing all the PDFs to "actual size" and closing the sidebar, and not only does it take a lot of time, but it doesn't save my preference once I've closed and reopened it! Please let me know if there's a setting I can disable to fix this issue. Thanks!

Sometime ago I must have made a typo when entering my email address into a pop-up window in Firefox. Firefox continues to find and use this wrong address in pre-fills but I can't find anyway to correct it. I've worked through Settings/Privacy & Security with no luck. Can someone help please? (Windows 10 Firefox 145.02)

For a few weeks now, the bluetooth sound drops out or will not connect, the screen freezes and says Firefox is not responding, the screen buffers for a while. V annoying and only when connecting bluetooth sound. Have tried with two different brand speakers, same thing happens. The bluetooth keyboard does not drop out at all, ever. Image is while listening to a TV series on Hulu~
