Hi everyone,

As we spend more time online, I'm interested in ways to improve my online privacy and security. What are some essential tips and tools you recommend for protecting personal information while browsing?

Are there specific settings to adjust on devices or browsers? What security tools or software do you find most effective? How can I manage cookies and trackers without compromising my browsing experience?

As per the title, I can play a YouTube LiveStream this was the one I was viewing today PostOffice Inquiry https://www.youtube.com/@postofficehorizonitinquiry947 and SkyNews which play fine for about 20 seconds then fail with an error message that "Something went wrong, please try again latter". Refreshing the YouTube page the Livestream then plays another 20 seconds of the livestream then fails again with the same error message.

Other non LiveStream YouTube videos play fine

I have disabled all extensions, tried firefox troubleshooting mode, tried opening in a private window, tried logged in and out of YouTube account. The same thing happens (stream plays then ends after 20 seconds).

The same YouTube Livestram URLs work fine in Chrome Browser

system: Linux 24.10 Beta Firefox Snap version 130..0.1

I'm having trouble with third party verification through my banking app. this only occurs with firefox I have checked with the bank. there is no problem on there end and no problem from the government website seeking verification. I must always clear cache and reopen for it to work. Is there a better solution?

received this popup message

firefox.exe stating Entry Point Not Found - the procedure entry point ?SetGeckoChild@mozilla@@YAXPEBD@Z could not be located in the dynamic link in library C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe.

Do I need to uninstall and reinstall Firefox?

I just updated to version 131.0 and now my menu buttons in the top left no longer work. When I say Menu buttons I'm referring to the Menu Bar which includes File,Edit,View,History,Bookmarks,Tools,Help. All the buttons are dead and if I hover my cursor over "File" it says "List all tabs". If you look real close at attached screen shot you can see that there is a little square sitting over the word "File".

Thank you

I've installed the lastest version of Firefox in a macOS, Ventura, virtual machine from Anka (although other VMs also exhibit the problem). Firefox is unusable. It mostly just beach balls. If I type in a url, it never attempts to connect. I do not have this problem with other browsers. Is this a known issue?

Starting about a year ago (2023) I noticed when using google search, firefox would crash. Recently it's started crashing any time I try to load google maps. I'm using the updated desktop version (mac) and I don't know if this is a google or firefox issue but it's bad enough I'm about to get an entirely new browser.

Recently I installed firefox again after install new windows. But I lost my old sync details. How can I get my old sync details. I would like to get backup before 2 days ago. I want my old backup.

I'm curious about the current state of Web Speech API. This is a W3C specification that was implemented in both Firefox and Chrome and includes Automatic Speech Recognition.

There is a demo page at https://mdn.github.io/dom-examples/web-speech-api/speech-color-changer/

To use this in Firefox, I have to change two settings in about:config to True: media.webspeech.recognition.enable media.webspeech.recognition.force_enable

There used to be a setting that could be used to set a specific endpoint for the actual STT processing, but that doesn't show up in my list of settings anymore. I guess I could add it, but have no idea if it would be respected by the browser or what the endpoint should look like. Anyway, whatever endpoint Firefox is currently using does not seem to be working anymore, so I just get an "Error occurred in recognition: network" error.

In Chrome it works, but most likely is sending my raw audio to Google Cloud STT to do the actual transcribing. I'd like to be able to control the endpoint so I can use a local service connected to VOSK or Whisper or some other locally hosted STT engine.

I'm thinking about implementing something using WebRTC, but if anyone is working along similar lines, I'd like to join that project rather than creating my own.

Is anyone working on this?

Hello, I am new using Firefox on my desktop and can't figure out why I am having trouble getting my Realteck mic to work while in online meetings. The video function is fine. I can't change the settings in the online meeting software and get a message to use "Settings" in the browser. What am I doing wrong. TIA

Reoccurance of an issue first reported in 2023 (2 threads, both archived (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1429143; https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1429298). I am using AdBlocker Ultimate, but Youtube was added to the white list. Any further suggestions, or do I need to remove the AdBlocker Ultimate extension?

Hey everyone,

I’ve been running into a strange issue whenever I try to visit https://greenleavesnursery.com/ using Firefox. The site either collapses, freezes up, or the layout just breaks. It works fine in other browsers (like Chrome and Edge), but Firefox just can’t seem to handle it.

Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

Cleared the cache and cookies. Disabled all add-ons and ran Firefox in safe mode. Made sure I’m using the latest version of Firefox. None of these steps fixed the issue, and since the site works perfectly fine in other browsers, I’m starting to wonder if this is a Firefox-specific problem or if the website’s coding isn’t fully compatible with Firefox.

Hello,

I am using Firefox with Linux. Any time I open YouTube, I need to log in with my gmail accout, requiring me to authentify my identity with my phome. I always use the same laptop. Is there a way to avoid this annoying thing so the laptop opens YouTube straightaway please? Seems like my Firefox account is not helping. The needing to continuosly log in recalls also for anything else (gmail, Netflix...). Using Chrome with Windows was better in that way.

Thanks in advance. Looking forward to hearing from you

So today i did a format on my PC when i go to Firefox i log in with Mozilla account but i don't remember my password so i reset it with a message to my mail but i didn't have a recovery key, i haven't used this function never and i swear that the last time i did this and logged in everything was perfect. After because i freaked out ofc i try to log in with my google account and because i assume the fresh sync got through poof nothing at all. As far as i understand i lost all my bookmarks,history, browser settings etc since i am only on 1 PC and i can't access them ever again is that correct? Is there a way to actually get my browser back to where it was before i essentially formatted my PC without doing everything by hand

Hi there,

For the last week or so, when I watch Youtube on Firefox, I can't save a video to Watch Later or any other way, and I can't even open the pop-downs to edit my lists. I'm signed in, my ad blockers are off for Youtube, I'm doing everything the same way I've always done it. Thought it was just a brief glitch, but since it continues, I tried the same on the Safari browser today, and had no problems.

There is an error message sometimes; I've added it via screen image.

Can you help me figure out if this is a setting I can easily fix, or requires a fix on your end?

Thank you!

When I try to view a website with VR I get an error message from the web site saying I must use a browser that can view VR. I can't get an "Allow VR" box to come up. I'm using an Oculus Rift and it works on every other browser. I went to the VR Settings box, but it doesn't show any websites and there is no way to enter them. What's up?
