I'm encountering consistent video playback issues on Firefox while running Fedora 38. The error message I receive when attempting to play videos from certain sites, notably LinkedIn and Twitter (now X), is:

  • The media playback was aborted due to a corruption problem or because the media used features your browser did not support.*

Furthermore, when examining Firefox's console while attempting to play a video, I observed the following error:

  • [Child 5999, MediaDecoderStateMachine #1] WARNING: Decoder=7fdb3c55a100 Decode error: NS_ERROR_DOM_MEDIA_FATAL_ERR (0x806e0005) - mozilla::MediaResult mozilla::FFmpegDataDecoder<60>::InitDecoder(AVDictionary**): Couldn't open avcodec: file /builddir/build/BUILD/firefox-118.0/dom/media/MediaDecoderStateMachineBase.cpp:166*

Steps to Reproduce: 1. Navigate to LinkedIn or X (previously Twitter). 2. Attempt to play any video content. 3. Observe the aforementioned error.

Additional Details: - OS: Fedora 38 - Firefox version: Initially 117.0.1, then updated to 118, both 64-bit. - This issue does not occur on Google Chrome on the same system. - I have attempted the following troubleshooting steps without success:

 1. Updated Firefox to the latest version.
 2. Enabled DRM content.
 3. Booted Firefox in Safe Mode.
 4. Disabled hardware acceleration.
 5. Cleared cache and cookies.
 6. Used a Flatpak version of Firefox.

This issue has significantly impacted my user experience, and I hope to find a resolution soon. Any assistance or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

I was on phone for a couple hours last night with my satellite provider HughesNet to figure out why nothing would stream. We never gt it figured out. Then, I tried another browser and it worked fine!

Ihave been becoming more and more disenchanted with Firefox this year. SOOOOOOO many problems, it makes my life harder. The only alternative is Google. Everything works with Google pretty much. BUT I HATE GOOGLE!! EVIL. So please fix firefox!

This is a recent failure (this week), that occured without any changes on my own account to Firefox developer version 121.0b2(64-bits)

I had to install google chrome to overcome this problem. Chrome has no issues with microsoft authentication.

Please solve as soon as possible, otherwise I will be switching to another browser.

This has happened to me too many times and haven't found a solution to it. When I open Firefox after I have booted up my PC, my browser would either function as normal and everything is kept the same, or would act as if I am new to Firefox and reset my settings and add-ons. I tried re-installing the browser and creating new browser profile, yet those solutions that I've found hasn't worked. Any solutions would be helpful, thanks

(In the image provided, this is what happens at times when opening the browser after turning on my PC)

I am experiencing an extraordinarily strange issue. I have reinstalled windows on to new SSD drive to troubleshoot and I have verified the problem is apparently Starfield+Firefox=problems. Specifically, when I run starfield it corrupts something in windows and prevents my Web Browsers from working forever afterward until I run system restore. I have done this 3 times now. As soon as I run Starfield, Mozilla Firefox starts crashing tabs and crashing on opening quickly and repeatedly. I have used system restore to restore my system on the new HD and it fixes Firefox. But when I run Starfield again, Mozilla becomes corrupted. I was using Mozilla Firefox because my Edge and Chrome won't run without status_access_violations every 5 to 10 minutes. But Mozilla Firefox ran flawlessly since June 2022 until I opened starfield. Aside from this, my PC is reliable, fast and stable. Starfield itself runs flawlessly and smooth in Ultra-Detail. I have a Core-I7 7700K, an RTX 2080 Super and 16gb of Gskill 3200 DDR4 ram on a Gigabyte GA-X170-SLI-CF motherboard. I DO NOT overclock any components as I prefer system reliability. Also I have had starfield since the early access release last Thursday August 31st and have been fighting my computer ever since with fresh windows installs on blank hard drives trying to fix this. I have run out of options. I am writing this to you on my Office Laptop as it doesn't have browser issues. Please route this report to the appropriate support personnel, thank you!

Edit, I also tried 3 different pairs of 8GB G-Skill DDR4 ram sticks. I have also tried the other channel. I am pretty sure its not the ram. If anything something with the motherboard, or possibly I need a bios update after some random windows update. I have seen that before too. But I am more looking for what variable could the 2 programs be sharing that opening one perma-bugs the other until a system restore is run.

Edit 2, Reply from Bethesda was that they seem to have closed the request with the comment "Thank you for your feedback.". As I said they didn't have any options to report a bug they create in a 3rd part program.

The "Layout.css.page-size.enabled" configuration parameter = False ,worked effectively in previous versions, but after updating to Firefox 119.0, it no longer works whether I set it to True or False.

Orientation option is missing when I try to print documents from a website. The Firefox Print Preview window, which usually allows orientation choices for printing, is now not available.

Please advise. Thanks!

Win 11 FF 115.02

How can I permanently disable or remove the pop up that says, SIGN IN WITH GOOGLE?

None of the solutions match the reality of what my choices are on my G accounts page. For instance: https://www.howtogeek.com/735152/how-to-turn-off-the-sign-in-with-google-prompt-on-websites/

Nothing I have tried can remove it. Does some ace here have a solution?

Hello,

Amazon Prime no longer saves my place in TV series I'm watching. If I was 15 minutes in on episode 9 of something, when I came back it would still be in the same place, even months later. Now it doesn't do that anymore, even if I come back a few minutes later.

Amazon says Amazon Prime does not work very well on Firefox, and my issue does work fine on the other browsers, but I don't want to use them if I can avoid it. Firefox works fine for Hulu and Netflix and the others. I don't have any other issues with Firefox other than this one.

Does anyone know anything about this and possibly how to make it work like it used to?

Thank you.

I've encountered this on several web sites; I'm unable to paste text into textareas that are controlled by CKEditor. If I try a different browser (Safari) on the same web site, paste works without an issue. I see no error messages, but simply when I paste nothing happens. It's happened to me in Firefox on two completely different web sites that are unrelated, and probably using different versions of CKEditor (the buttons have a different look).
