Hello!

I first installed Video Download Helper several weeks ago and it worked fine. However, since the update of 04 March, 2026, it no longer works with YouTube. (It does, however, still work with Instagram.) Having checked all of the settings (which I had/have not changed), I uninstalled it today and then re-installed it. This hasn't helped. With YouTube, the Downloader icon (pinned to toolbar) simply remains grey and does not show any videos when opened. I am using the latest, fully updated version of Firefox with Windows 10.

Can anyone help, please?

Many thanks,

Stuart.

Default homepage is yahoo. Since the update to version 149, if I do a search from yahoo, the new tab that opens with the search result is blank most of the time. I have to click reload for the search results to show up.

Is anybody else having that problem? Seems to be yahoo search specific but not 100% sure.

I am looking to Restore yesterday Firefox have lost all my pin tabs when I opened this morning the browser how can I get my old stuff back? Please help me out. Thanks

Hi, When I want to open and see most of sites, this extension show me the pop up and message:

Ads Blocker Detected!!!

On new tab, all my added short cuts are gone and it doesn't let me add any. For example I want to have a shortcut to say... Amazon, but when I type or paste in the url, it still doesn't add it and the add button goes blue, not white. I have the shortcut feature turned on

The latest version of Firefox appears to have updated a setting: When selecting a custom search engine in the address bar or search box, you now need to click the mouse three times (click the dropdown button on the left side of the box - select search engine - search); previously, after entering search terms in the search box, you only needed to move the mouse icon below the box to automatically display all search engines, and then click the desired engine to search directly, thus completing the search with just one click.

The old setting was very convenient; while the new setting forces me to click several times every time I want to search for a term in the search bar.

I hope the support team will address and improve this issue.

Last night I decided I'd get rid of the little triangle on my id icon telling me my account is disconnected. I succeeded getting rid of it, but it screwed up my url for my homepage. Now when I try to set my homepage (c:/Users/mnose/Pictures/Pictures/Kidz/Photo-0002.jpg) I get this message: file:///c:/Users/mnose/Pictures/Pictures/Kidz/Photo-0002.jpg " The address wasn’t understood

Firefox doesn’t know how to open this address, because one of the following protocols (cfile) isn’t associated with any program or is not allowed in this context."

How do I get rid of this, and how do I set up my homepage? It's been set the same way for over 10 years until last night. It's very frustrating that there's no explanation.

Thank you for any relative responses and useful information.

Hello All of a sudden i am unable to sign into Hotmail, i receive the following message - Please retry with a different device or other authentication method to sign in. For more details, please see this link

I have tried all the suggestions clear cache, restart, refresh, turned off extensions etc. but these have not resolved the issue, also this has only started happening within the last couple of weeks.

I am able to sign into Hotmail via other browsers.

i tried everything in setting , nothing works these suggested shortcuts automatically attached to my home page i did deselect this feature in setting but still they pop up on my home page and the other problem is i am not able to search in my web search section on the home page what is that so ? why this isnt fixed yet ?

I am using windows 11, after the latest update 149.02 I am unable to log into CIBC (Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce) account it gives me error message 0001 with an exclamation mark on the screen, tried disabling all add on no luck,

Certain webpages are now enlarged to the point of being unusable. I have not changed any settings in Firefox. Zoom is at the typical 100% and zooming out does not fix the issue. I have attached a screenshot of what this page looks like so you can see. I have tried searching ways to fix this and cannot figure it out. Help is greatly appreciated.

I liked my search box functioning like it did before the last update...can you please revert it back to the way it was please or give us the option to change it back. Why mess with perfection???...thank you. (149.0 64bit currently)

When playing YouTube videos in Firefox, the video constantly hangs or freezes. I have to restart the browser to continue playback. This happens every time I try to watch videos on youtube. what is going on?

When I restarted my computer, I was signed out of Firefox. I didn't remember my password and didn't realize creating a new one would deny me access to my bookmarks.

Can I recover my bookmarks? The restore function only lists today as an option after my new password was set (empty). I have no recovery key.
