I am getting a sharp and loud buzzing sound when I watch Netflix on my Firefox browser, and today, it started doing the same on Facebook reels. I don't have that problem in Edge so clearly, it is a Firefox issue. Thanks for getting back to me to let me know if you can resolve that issue, or if there is anything I should be doing. Kind regards, Isabelle

После обновления начали намертво подвисать странички (на данный момент заметил на youtube и в google, при попытке войти в аккаунт кнопка просто не прожимается), как выяснилось причина в том, что новое обновление не совместимо с расширением absplayer, когда его отключаю всё работает исправно. Что делать в такой ситуации, и будет ли патч в ближайшее время? Расширение мне крайне необходимо, а с их стороны никаких обновлений также нет

Issues since the update to version 154 on Yahoo. Not noticed on Google. Half the time I do a search on yahoo I get the following message.

Looks like there’s a problem with this site

The server at search.yahoo.com sent back an error: 500 Internal Server Error What can you do about it?

   Check to make sure you’ve typed the website address correctly.
   The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.

Or I get search results and when I click on the next page of results, I get the same message. Have a couple of times got a blank page with "about:config" which is a duplicate of what happened with version 149 release.

Come on Firefox.....

I updated Firefox to Version 154.0 and now I cannot search properly with/on Yahoo!

I've been using Firefox for so many years I don't use any other browser unless a site doesn't work,then I use 'Opera' (very infrequent). I updated Firefox to v154.0 and now searching does not work properly.

I used to be able to enter a question into the bar/box where one would normally view any given URL, select return, and Firefox would bring up Yahoo! search results.

With this update, that doesn't work. When I select return the URL that had been in the space just reappears. If I visit the Yahoo! main page and try to use the search box with the magnifying/eye-glass, it launches a blank tab.

I'm forced to use the AI icon to get a search result. I do NOT want to use that feature.

Also, with Firefox 154.0 I cannot remove other search engines. With every update I remove Google, Bing, Duck-Duck-Go, Wiki, Amazon, etc. because I ONLY want one search engine, Yahoo!

I checked the Yahoo!Search Extension and made sure all the "allow" buttons needed were selected.

I want to remove the other search engines from the Settings tab, and I would like to have the same behavior prior to the update: simply type my question or text into the main html bar/box and select return, and get results.

I see that other had an issue starting with version 142 or so that was similar, but I've not had this issue until two days ago.

Any help is appreciated. And yes I delete my cache etc. regularly. I'm on Mac OS 15.7.7 and again, it has never been a problem until updating Firefox to v154.

Hello.

Has the profile logic been thought through?

When I set a default profile, I would expect

A) all new pages open into the default B) That firefox always opens the default without request.

This does not happen.

firefox.exe -P is set correctly.

Any ideas? I feel after the profile choice was improved, the basic logic may of been broken.

Thanks

In Windows 11, Firefox shows only a black image on Google Maps and some other web sites

The problem is illustrated in the first image attached: Google Maps shows no image, just solid black. This does not occur in browsers other than Firefox.

After restarting my laptop, the same problem persists, but on first going to the Google Maps website the usual image of my neighborhood flashes, then disappears to be replaced by the black.

The second attached image shows four possible causes and fixes offered by Google AI. I tried them all, and nothing made any difference. This image also shows that the thumbnail image appears when my cursor hovers over the tab in which Maps is open.

The only thing out of the ordinary I did before this problem occurred was browsing the Firefox Extensions on advice of Google AI to turn off the intrusive "Genius" AI pop-ups, but I didn't discover anything relevant and I don't think I made any changes.

I'd welcome any suggestions for what to try next,
