In Firefox, I have audio and video autoplay blocked globally, and added an exception for one particular website (Discord). However, Discord now only autoplays videos once, but doesn't loop them as it should (they implemented GIFs as videos, but now they don't loop).

Of course this could be interpreted as a bug in Discord's web client. However, there shouldn't be a difference between a website that got an exception and autoplay being globally allowed. Therefore i suspect that there is a bug in firefox where some property, state, or hint is set differently depending on whether a page has been added to exceptions or autoplay is allowed globally.

Is there anything i can do to work around this? I really want an autoplay exception to actually work as expected (the website doesn't need to know that it's special)

I'm trying to setup 2fa on my account. It requires sending a code to my email which I then use to verify. These codes consistently are sent outside of the time window and as a result expired. I've added accounts@firefox.com to my contacts, and I've tried this on firefox desktop and firefox mobile on an iphone, and both produce the same results.

I'm on a gmail account and gmail flags these emails as suspicious despite being added as a contact, which likely means they are poorly formatted. Despite this flag, they are still sent to my inbox when they finally arrive.

This is incredibly frustrating as this is a service provided by basically every company and yet I have never seen it perform this poorly as it has with firefox.

I am unable to sign in to my yahoo mail account. It gives me a fault that "something went wrong, please try another device". I can use brave as my browser and sign in with no problem but not with firefox. Any idea why?

After many years of using Firefox and then trying other browsers I decided to stick with Firefox now, and immediately I encounter a persistent flaw.

Mainly I browse on chess.com, I mention this because there the thing occurs and I can imagine it is quite a 'complicated' website. Stick with me. I administrate clubs and play chess there so open pages regularly, in new tabs, still generally only three simultaneously.

Every 1 in 5 times the page just gets stuck loading. Only parts appear and the little refresh icon up there doesn't show because the X stays (the one to stop loading the page). This is quite annoying. Simply by refreshing it immediately loads properly. But it is ridiculous to keep having to press F5 every couple of minutes before one can get on. As I also used Beta channel on my win11 machine I figured maybe it's that but after several updates it persisted. Now I am using the Normal channel and a Linux Mint OS and exactly the same keeps happening. I have tried a dozen remedies. Like adding an exception to the enhanced tracking in Firefox and several others and nothing fixed this. Does anyone knows how this happens?

And will Mozilla fix this? Or is it completely at the bottom of priorities because it is site specific?

Thanks for any replies (OS most recent Linux Mint Cinnamon. browser version mint-001 1.0 firefox 147.2) (Happened on Windows 11, Firefox Beta as well)

I had bookmarks and backgrounds and everything saved on my browser. My mac book died and now when i open it everything reset. I didn't have any profiles or sync on but why did everything reset. And am i able to get what I had back.

• OS: Debian (trixie)
• Firefox version: 149.0b3

Firefox suddenly crashes without any displayed error. Attempt to troubleshoot it in "safe mode" doesn't help (it also suddenly crashes.

• When I had redirected following output: "Exiting due to channel error."
• after restart, I launched "about:crashes", but there were no entries

I have an issue where my firefox freezes whenever I try to take certain actions inside home assistants music assistant. I have created the following profiler of the issue https://share.firefox.dev/4pPZRPo

I have tried all the recommended settings to mitigate these kinds of problems (remove hardware acceleration, set disable all addons). I don't know where to report this exactly, but I'm hoping someone might be able to see something from the profiler that could illuminate what exactly is going wrong?

Notably this issue does not happen in firefox private mode.

I've been doing free advertising for Firefox for years, successfully convincing friends, family and coworkers to reject chromium browsers and make the difficult choice to switch browsers and get use to a new interface on Firefox. I know most people like me are able to do this by touting that Firefox actually cares about keeping your data private and allowing users to opt in to many "features" that chromium browsers have you opt out of. Unfortunately with the recent inclusion of AI settings that have been turned on by default and hidden under layers of setting menus, it looks like Firefox is turning to the same tactics we came here to escape. If this trend coninues, I won't be able to in good concious recommend this browser to others, and might as well just switch back to chrome which more websites have better support for. I hope the company makes the right decision and keeps AI out of Firefox

In a thread discussion about the flag, "browser.tabs.unloadOnLowMemory" dated 23-Nov-2022 (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33706117) it was mentioned that we've disabled tab unloading on Linux because low-memory detection just didn't work.

Has the issue been fixed? Does the low-memory detection work in Linux? Can it be enabled now?

Does it get triggered when SWAP is being used? Or when system free RAM falls say to about 25% of total physical RAM?

I have Linux OS Mint Cinnammon 22.2 and firefox 145.0.2 I have ticked "Save and auto-fill payment info" and my credit card ## are recorded. When I want to pay, the default credit card ## appear correctly, but if I click on them to apply, nothing happens. Every time I have to re-enter all the numbers ! Many thanks for your answer.

See https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-turn-do-not-track-feature :

> Many sites do not respect this indication of a person's privacy preferences and, in some cases, it can reduce privacy.

This really hurts to see from Mozilla.

You could have linked to Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Do_Not_Track

Why did this policy change? I am aware of GPC: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/global-privacy-control

When I dye my hair in 5 colors, I'm aware that can reduce my privacy. I'm not trying to fit in. I'm trying to make a statement. To put a flag in the ground! Like your logo!

If you are going to make this sort of decision again, can you

• please*

not tell me it's for my own good because of privacy?

Can you just say the policy was changed next time? No elaboration is fine.

Please!

For Valentine's Day I would love it if Mozilla could let me set the DNT bit to 1 again. I would love you so much. I still do.

After updating to Firefox 147 from 146, it seems that some areas in page rendering are becoming corrupted.

Using the attached example from https://soundcloud.com/solarstone/tracks, it is possible to see a corrupted song bar. In the other song, where the full bar chart should also appear, there is a black area, which seems like a different kind of corruption where the content is simply not being displayed.

This did not happen in version 146.

Is there anything I can do, or any information I can provide, to help debug this issue?

Thank you.
