I use Firefox 134.0.2 (64-bit) on Ubuntu 24.04.
Some (not all) web sites show up only after a delay of exactly 30 seconds. The attached screenshot shows that this delay is due to DNS resolution. This behavior is reproducible by simply closing Firefox, opening it again and entering the same web site once more. Once this initial delay of 30 seconds for DNS resolving has passed the web site can be browsed normally.
Using Google Chrome, Opera or even the Tor Browser on the same system works without any significant delay. Also a DNS lookup from the console returns data almost immediately.
As the delay is always exactly 30 seconds this looks like some DNS resolver timeout only showing up when using Firefox.
Neither starting Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode nor (as often suggested) disabling IPV6 for DNS by setting network.dns.disableIPv6 to true did help.
Any idea how to fix this 30 seconds delay?
Many thanks for any help, Felix

Hi.
Very old/test system. centos6 - running ff ver78.3. really old, rarely used, for testing.
However, within the last few days, something has occurred that has removed the vertical up/down arrows in the browser window. The other test browsers -- chrome/sea-monkey have the up/down arrows for scrolling.
Looking through the about:config attributes, based on other past user posts haven't solved the issue.
thanks

I recently updated my browser, and I've noticed that while listening to music on YouTube, for some reason, the volume slider within the player also controls the stream volume within KDE Plasma's volume mixer, making for a much more frustrating experience. Now the volume resets to what was set on YOUTUBE rather than sticking to what was set in the VOLUME MIXER every time a new video plays or any time the page refreshes. This means that the volume gets reset every. single. time. The issue with this is not only that YouTube's volume slider isn't as accurate as KDE Plasma's, but also that a media player in a browser shouldn't be controlling its own system volume within the mixer because it causes issues and frustrations like these.
How do I separate player and stream volume?
Here's my inxi so you can see what I'm using/what I'm on: ```text System:

Hi all. I have been using firefox with ubuntu 22.04 for about since when ubuntu 22.04 was released (2022).
On firefox, I usually use the nordpass and tab grouping extensions. For the third or fourth time in a row, firefox has simply vanished from my system from day to night.
I click the icon and nothing happens. I try typing "firefox" in the terminal and get
Command '/usr/bin/firefox' requires the firefox snap to be installed. Please install it with:
snap install firefox
Even if I accept the bizarreness of snap simply deciding from one day to another that I don't have this package (or did I never have it and never needed it in the first place?) and try "snap install firefox" I get:
snap "firefox" is already installed, see 'snap help refresh'
After reading the result of "snap refresh help" I decided to "snap refresh" to update all of it's packages. Still, "snap install firefox" and "firefox" keep giving me the same result.
What is happening here?

Picture-in-Picture (built-in) not working correctly. Consider attached image e.g., the video is visible, but I can't really use the any of the other tabs visible here. What I noted: I can scroll the other tab/window using mouse wheel when the Picture-in-Picture is in focus, but as soon as I click on any of the other tabs/window, the video goes to background, and hence becomes "invisible".

After a recent update to Firefox 133.0.3 (on Ubuntu GNU/Linux 22.04), Firefox is having difficulty connecting to websites and exhibiting some other odd behavior:
- After initially starting Firefox, it will load websites (e.g., previously open tabs) for up to 30 seconds. After that, it will not load any website in a new tab, showing the loading animation for several seconds before stopping all activity and just displaying an hourglass icon in the tab. These sites can be connected to in other web browsers. - After closing Firefox, its process is still running; I have to manually find its pid and kill it. - If I start Firefox from the terminal, I see these messages when it starts having trouble loading websites:

I know it may sound a bit strange, but I would like to know WHY an extension is not allowed in a private window, so I might understand the reason why I'm not able to diagnose an issue I'm having with fucking amazon who has their cart all over the place for a misconfiguration in firefox that either I did or an extension is causing, however I'm unable to figure out which because I can't enable extensions in private windows, where the issue does not happen, so I'm not able to reproduce and isolate the problem. Specifically, this article: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/extensions-private-browsing Plus, I was kinda expecting I could run STG in private too, since it offer such nice and rich grouping and memory management features vanilla FF does not (PS: please take inspiration and bake it inside!!)

I'm putting off upgrading Linux as I have many hundreds of undocumented addons which will be lost and would take forever to attempt to remember how to re-install.
(in fact I might just switch to macos and try using homebrew).
It seems very harsh that upgrading Firefox has been prevented by linux mint for years now.
Yes Homebrew is perhaps the way forward! Life would be easier with just one O/S as I need Macos anyway for adobe lightroom.

Hi All,
I need open local exists files
file:///.../index_details.rst or file:///.../index_details.txt in my default system editor.
This has worked pretty well last in version 127. (https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/127.0/linux-x86_64/en-US/)
But after v127 Firefox always opens files directly (see screen). I can't find any settings to change this behavior. Something has been changed.
I keep back the firefox upgrade so long it was posible for me but 127 is now old and i use the last version 133.0-1.
I'm using Linux (Debian).
Thanks
