I got this new Chromebook, and now I'm having issues using YouTube. When I select a video to watch, a message pops up at the top saying "To play video, you may need to install the required video codecs." I am able to watch the video I selected anyhow, with some minor issues with the picture and its frames I believe, however, when I try to watch a different video, it does not work. Sometimes it will play for a short bit, but will then stop, and start buffering. When I then refresh the page, the video will not play and will only buffer. I am not sure what to do, and if this is an issue with the browser, or the device itself, please help?

When enabling advanced user mode in uBlock Origin, a matrix of elements is presented when opening the dashboard. The matrix allows selecting either a gray noop or red block configuration. But prior to selecting noop or block, there is a black background. If neither noop nor block is selected, what is the black background doing?

It's not showing recent activity - only blank grey boxes. And its not showing my things saved in pocket at all even though I've selected in settings to show it.

Im using version - 135.0 (aarch64) - it says its up to date.

After I upgraded my system (NixOS) from 23.05 to 24.11, both Firefox and Thunderbird experience a 30 second delay between doing right click and the context menu appearing.

After clicking on a menu option, there is another 30 second delay before the menu disappears and the action is carried out.

Happens also in safe mode, and after deleting the .mozilla directory and starting from scratch.

No other GUI on the system (including non-gecko browsers) are affected.

Firefox version is 133.0.3

using 64 bit Linux here.

I download an update, but it doesn't do anything. It constantly tells me I need to download an update. Currently using 133.0.3

I managed to get an update through Linux, but now I'm having trouble with Linux. I suspect I need to remove Firefox and reload it. I tried to do that one time but it didn't fix the problem.

Any help would be appreciated.

I keep seeing a warning that I'd better update firefox by March 14th. But when I try, there seems to be no easy way to do it. I can download the archives, either .bz2 or .xz, for several different versions (ESR or not), for Linux-64. But upon opening these archives, I don't see any obvious "INSTALL" script, nor a "README" or anything else to get me started. How deep do I have to dig into this, to get this simple task done? Why can't it be "one click"? I don't want to go through the hassle of setting up the Debian apt archive to point at Mozilla, since it doesn't seem to be in the defaults -- and why should I have to?

I try to follow the directions in Support, which direct me to the "three lines" menu -> Settings -> General -> Firefox Updates. But it doesn't "automatically download" the new update, in fact it doesn't even seem to try to check for updates, nor is there any link to click to make it update manually. What I see in that panel does not match the screenshot in the Support (see attached image).

I click on "download installer", but it just takes me to the same page where I can specify my language, etc., and then download the archive of the browser itself. No sign of any installer, as mentioned above.

Why is this so hard??? Has my browser been hacked to prevent updates? Please help!

I'm attempting to sync my account between a Windows host and a Linux host. Logging into my account on Linux brings up a "Authorize this sign-in" window that demands entry of a 7-char "Authorization Code" (not the same as a six-digit authentication code) which is emailed to me. After entering the authorization code, a window appears stating "Bad request - Something went wrong. Please close this tab and try again." This happens consistently, and only on the Linux host. Firefox 134.0.2 mint-001 1.0. Linux Mint 22.1. Any ideas about what went wrong?

Hi - I wanted to migrate all my changes made in the flatpak app to the aur version. I noticed the profile content has a different structure in both - aur and flatpak configs. And any attempts to replace profile content with the other resulted in browser ignoring these and initing new config files. Was wondering if my config can be ported over or thats not possible thanks.

The visual and audio notifications for incoming emails being posted to the inbox of gmail under Mozillia Firefox do not function correctly when ran on a Linux Mint operating system computer.

I can get the visual notifications to work as long as the Firefox is open but once that session is closed the visual notifications are no longer issued, i.e. the setting to issue those notifications are not being saved upon closing of the browser.

I can get the audio notifications to work on a sporadic basis. I go into the settings on gmail and choose one of the audio sound notification choices and it works a few times when income emails are received into the inbox, but then just stops even if the current firefox/gmail session is still open.

My theory is that those firefox/gmail settings are not getting preserved/saved in proper manner to be available for subsequent sessions of firefox/gmail because firefox/gmail does not understand the FILE STRUCTURES of Linux Mint Mate so that those settings can be properly preserved for use by subsequent sessions of firefox/gmail.

Please consider fixing this.

Thanks.
