I use Firefox on a ASUS Vivobook running Windows 11. On April 1, it tried to update to version 137.0, but failed and led me into a update loop of sorts. I had to re-install Firefox just to force an update on it, and that worked for a bit. Just today, it decided to update... and led me into ANOTHER update loop, and it's saying that the "install failed" when I check the update history.

Is anybody else experiencing this bug, and is there a way to fix it?

I try to connect to gpx.studio and I get the message

"WebGL 2 is required to display the map."

then "Hmm. While your browser seems to support WebGL2, it is disabled or unavailable"

However, when I connect to the same site with Chrome everything works and the map is displayed.

What can I do ? Is it a problem of graphic card blocked by Firefox ?

A few days ago, trying to free up some memory and improve my computer's performance, I deleted the cache and tracking cookies from Firefox (using AVG TuneUp). Since then, I can only load a certain, variable number of tabs and/or pages without every new or reactivated tab or page claiming to have crashed (although about:crashes says that no reports have been submitted). Restoring those pages seems impossible without restarting Firefox or the whole computer. The problem persists in Troubleshoot mode, but as far as I can tell doesn't affect Chrome, although that used even more RAM. I've tried culling open tabs (of which I still probably have far too many, but it's never been an issue before), using the OneTab extension to reduce them to lists of URLs, disabling and re-enabling hardware acceleration, updating Firefox, checking for file corruption and RAM errors and even uninstalling and reinstalling the program, but nothing's worked so far. What might be going on, and what else can I try?

Hi,

I built a new PC a few months ago.

On this PC, Youtube tabs occasionally crash - the problem is intermittent, but common enough to be annoying. I never saw this on my old PC.

As far as I can tell, most of the software is the same as my old PC. Hardware is different if that matters (went from an Intel processor to an AMD, otherwise the component manufacturers are mostly consistent).

Still using Firefox on Windows 11. It's almost always up-to-date and is often up-to-date when the issue occurs. My only add-ons are Reddit Enhancement Suite and uBlock Origin, both of which I used on the old PC.

When I first built it, I did have an issue where I used RAM that was incompatible with my motherboard - that has been resolved and tabs are still crashing. I had found some indication that it could be related to faulty or incompatible hardware, but everything else is working now since fixing the RAM incompatibility.

Sometimes the tab crashes with an error message, sometimes it will simply freeze and I have to entirely close out the tab and re-navigate to the URL of the video I was just watching. The whole browser does not crash - I checked about:crashes and did not see any info that I can confirm coincides with a Youtube tab crash.

I have only seen this issue with Youtube, no other websites.

Thanks for any help that can be provided.

Hello. I play Tonga Farm online and today it wouldn't load. The message said that I had to check to see if my browser supported WebGI. They have changed from Facebook to a Web Portal if that means anything. Could you help?

Last night, Firefox spontaneously stopped recognizing input from my Logitech M650 L mouse's side buttons used to go back and forward through the browsing history of the current tab. I've tried refreshing firefox, checking the mouse software, trying a different profile, trying firefox in safe mode, checked the firefox config and the mouse button inputs were set to "true", tried clearing the cache, and even tested on a website that shows you your mouse inputs and the side buttons were not detected at all, while all other buttons were detected fine. The side buttons work fine in all other programs and browsers on my PC: Windows 10 64 bit.

There was a brief period where they started working again last night, but seemed to stop upon reboot my computer.

Hello,

I have been trying to get into my other Firefox account through the browser by resetting the password but every time I attempt to make a new one it errors. "Unexpected Error". I did have a recovery key enabled on the account but when I tried to look at it it wouldn't show so I removed in hopes that it would resolve my issue. Nope! I'm able to get into the Firefox account with my linked Google account so I don't have to use the Firefox credentials. I would appreciate it if someone could me with my issue. Thanks!

Hallo everyone,

after many hours of Google search and trying many changes in the "about:config" section im done with things to try so my last chance is here.

The problem i have is that videos dont play if i mouseover the firefox window or tab i.E. on the windows taskbar. The video will only start to play if i click on the window/tab and that window/tab is the "active" one im looking at.

It worked fine before but some firefox update f***ed this up (and yes the official firefox updates are the only thing that changed), no i dont know which update it was because i didnt recognize the problem right away.

The autoplay option is set to allow media and audio.

The weird thing is that when i open a video in the vlc player and do the mouseover, everything works just fine. So my conclusion is that some setting was messed up on the new firefox version.

Some data of my pc, everything is updated: - Windows 11 Pro - CPU is AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D 3,4GHz - GPU is AMD Radeon RX 7900XT - RAM is 32GB DDR4 CL16 - Internet is wired connection with 250K speed - Firefox Version is 137.0.1

Sorry for my bad english and thank you in advance.

When I try to log in to https://accounts.firefox.com/, I get the error "Something went wrong. Please close this tab and try again." I've never used synced accounts but would like to start using the feature.

Google search engine is not up to date for Firefox. If I use Chrome, google search gives me up-to-date map/street/phone #s. If I use Firefox, google search gives me outdated map/street/phone #s.

This is from User: Paul C. I have posted about this issue before. Last week!

This problem has returned after the clean installation of Firefox again and Firefox did more auto-updates. See attached files from the search bar "Information con(circle with the letter i inside) says I do not have a secure connection! I am not choosing to have an insecure connection.

Firefox 137.0.1 64-bit

I recently updated my wife's computer to an Apple Mac Mini M4 running iOS 15.4. Everything seemed to be working fine including Firefox until yesterday when Firefox update box popped up. She did as she normally has for years of using Firefox and clicked the restart for update button . FF restarted and popped up with 2 dialog boxes one asking to check network for there devices which she click "Don't Allow", she only uses that computer no smart phone etc. Then a second dialog box asking for an admin login and password to install something else I put in my admin login and password clicked continue it doesn't seem to do anything except lock up Firefox to the point I have had to re-install her user from a time machine backup 2 times in 2 days. I tried installing a new copy of Firefox that will launch the issue is she's used Firefox for probably 10 yrs so there are ten years of bookmarks and logins and passwords saved in the original copy of Firefox that will no longer boot unless I do a complete user re-install from a time machine backup.

Please help, how can I fix this problem?

Hello there! I have Firefox on both my (Windows) laptop and (IOS) mobile device. Several months ago (January or February, maybe?) I had to delete Firefox from my laptop and reinstall it to fix an issue. No big deal. However, whenever I check my synced tabs on my mobile device, it still shows the tabs from before I uninstalled it on my laptop as well as the taps currently opened on my laptop. It appears as if they're two separate devices. I already checked the "Connected Services" section of my account settings, and my laptop does not appear twice. I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction of how to remove the previous version of Firefox from appearing on sync on my mobile device. TIA for any help!

I encounter a bug, which youtube website still loads normally. The problem occur when I tried to open one of the youtube video and it just a black box with no normally youtube playback button, but the recommendation can be view as I scroll further down. Entering in-video mode, cause it to going back previous page but no small video playback at the corner.

Normally, I would think my internet was a bit slower, but opening youtube in chrome or other browsing software have no such problem. I try watching Netflix on firefox, and it just works fine but the youtube things still occur.

Thank you.

I've been using Firefox in Windows for years as my default browser. Suddenly tonight, Microsoft Edge became my default. When I go into Windows Settings and try to change back to Firefox, Windows offers me only Microsoft browsers as alternatives (or offers to let me into the Microsoft Store): Windows Edge or Internet Explorer.

The Control Panel / Settings page "Set Default Apps" is the only way that I know that Windows lets users set default browsers, but it suddenly seems to be restricting me to only MS browsers.

Firefox works normally in every other way, but warns me now every time I launch it that I have a different default browser. When I click the button in the warning (or in Firefox's Tools / Settings) I just get put back to the Windows "Set Default Apps" page, which, again, only lets me choose Microsoft browsers.

What could have happened? I haven't altered my Firefox configuration or installed extensions or plug-ins in a long time. If I uninstall & reinnstall Firefox, will I lose my many configuration & interface settings and will I have to reinstall all my extensions -- or will the reinstalled Firefox remember its existing configuration? Or would that probably not help at all.

I'm very computer-savvy, but have run out of ideas. Can you help??

Hi

When I browse to https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/images/154162/clouds-hover-over-the-alaska-peninsula, I can play the shown video once.

When the video is about to start the 2nd time though, the log from the web developer tool says (see screenshot): ``` Media resource https://eoimages.gsfc.nasa.gov/images/imagerecords/154000/154162/ak_cloudwave_vir_20250407_anim.mp4 could not be decoded. clouds-hover-over-the-alaska-peninsula All candidate resources failed to load. Media load paused. clouds-hover-over-the-alaska-peninsula Media resource https://eoimages.gsfc.nasa.gov/images/imagerecords/154000/154162/ak_cloudwave_vir_20250407_anim.mp4 could not be decoded, error: Error Code: NS_ERROR_DOM_MEDIA_FATAL_ERR (0x806e0005) Details: virtual RefPtr<MediaDataDecoder::DecodePromise> mozilla::GMPVideoDecoder::Decode(MediaRawData *): mGMP not initialized ``` and the video shows the warning "No video with supported format and MIME type found.", although the video was successfully played the 1st time.

Note that the first four warnings in the screenshot already appear when loading the page, i.e. before playing the video the 1st time.

The same happens when all installed firefox plugins are disabled.

I am using firefox 137.0.1 (64 bit) on arch linux.

Thanks for help, Chris

I cannot tile my Firefox windows to left or right when I choose vertical tabs mode from settings. It works fine with horizontal tabs enabled. I am using Firefox 137.0.1 on Linux Mint 22.1 Cinnamon 6.4.8 with Linux Kernel version 6.8.0-57-generic, display server X11.

Hello,

I'm experiencing a visual issue when typing in text input fields (such as input boxes or textareas) in Firefox. While typing, a dark overlay or block appears behind the current word or text I'm typing, which makes it very hard to read. It looks like some kind of highlight or shadow, possibly related to spellcheck or text recognition.

This issue occurs across different websites and makes it uncomfortable to type for long periods. I'm currently using Firefox [137.0.2] on Windows 10.

I've attached a screenshot that shows the problem clearly.

Things I've tried so far: - Disabling spellcheck - Changing themes - Disabling extensions - Testing in private window

None of these solved the issue.

Notably, switching to the **light theme** makes the issue disappear — the text input background becomes clear and easy to read again. However, I prefer to use the **dark theme**, so I’m looking for a solution that works in dark mode as well.

Can anyone help identify what's causing this or suggest a way to disable this effect while keeping the dark theme?

Thanks in advance!
