They play for a couple of seconds, then the panel they are playing in goes black. They used to work a month or two ago. Videos play fine in YouTube. They also play fine in apps like VideoPlayer and VLC. They play fine in Chromium based browsers Opera, Brave and Vivaldi. My graphics card requires switching acceleration off. I can’t find a switch for that in Firefox.

Problem Videos start playing, then after a few seconds the video panel turns black. Audio may continue. Refreshing does not help.

Environment

   OS: Fedora Linux 43
   Firefox 147.0.1 (also tested Firefox Flatpak)
   Display server: Wayland and X11 (both tested)
   Hardware acceleration: on and off (tested)
   Media Source Extensions: enabled (disabling MSE triggers an “unsupported device” error)

What works

   BBC News videos play correctly in Chromium-based browsers (Brave, Vivaldi)
   Videos play correctly in mpv/VLC
   Other video sites (e.g., YouTube) play correctly in Firefox

What I’ve tried in Firefox

   Disabling hardware acceleration
   Disabling VA-API
   Disabling WebRender
   Disabling RDD sandbox
   Running Firefox under X11
   Using the Firefox Flatpak build

None of these measures help. This suggests the issue is related to Firefox’s interaction with BBC’s player on Linux. Has anyone else seen this, or is there a known workaround?

hello. my name is Andrew. im learning the language toki pona. great language! however, it does not currently have support in Unicode.

as a workaround to use this language online, people have been downloading a font called nasin nanpa, and adding it to firefox's font fallback system in the about:config settings, and using the fonts UCSUR characters, like these 󱥬, 󱥂​󱤴​󱤧​󱤑​󱦐󱤄󱤽󱤧󱤊󱥵󱦑.

[specifically, the font uses codepoints in the Private Use Area because the language's script is not yet in Unicode. ]

the changes are to these settings.

font.name-list.cursive.x-western font.name-list.monospace.x-western font.name-list.sans-serif.x-western font.name-list.serif.x-western

recently, this system has stopped working. this change breaks multiple websites, including many discord community's that used the font to talk online in toki pona!

it also presumably breaks other fallback scenarios. now im guessing that this has not been noticed as most fonts support every commonly used character, making this feature rather obscure. however i really would love this to be fixed, and so would the large toki pona community!

to see what i mean better, please see the below images. the last image shows a website that loads this font on it's own, showing what the others should look like.

How do you avoid/deal with Firefox website incompatibilities? This happened on consecutive visits to two different websites today before I posted here.

In the first one, I disabled Ublock, cleared cache and cookies, and the site loaded, I then enabled Ublock with no error prompted.

Then I got a tab crash on Youtube. I wouldn't call tab crashes a daily occurrence for me, but I'm accustomed to them

Gmail tab crash just now. It just happened now with another website tab crash. i'm reverting back to 147.01

Is there any way to get the root of this. The only recent changes I can think of are browser (147.0.2 yesterday) and addon updates. Should I post my list of addons?

In my org - ever since the release of Firefox 146 - each time an update is rolled out on a WIndows 11 endpoint - Firefox is no longer able to launch.

This is resolved by uninstalling and reinstalling the client. We've had no issues with the ESR release in my testing.

What changed? Anyone else experiencing this?

I had our security team take a look at the antivirus - they've confirmed we aren't blocking Firefox and they did not see any block reports.

No relevant policy changes have gone through around the time of the incident. Initially I suspected users were installing Firefox ESR from the Company Portal alongside the standard release - but confirmed this is not the case. Also ruled out browser extensions - error persisted across a config without any extensions.

Please let me know if there is troubleshooting info I can collect. I included info from my own browser, but I reinstalled on the 27th and it has been working since. However, it has broke specifically on the days new releases have come out.

Thank you for any suggestions!

This setting, "Always ask you where to save files," is definitely broken.

In a related article, they provided this solution: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/que.../1534384 https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1534384]

Proposed solution: "I believe you also need to go into Tools -> Settings -> General and set the Action for the types of downloads (Applications) to Always Ask for those types you want it to."

But this workaround should not be needed. "Always ask" means always ask. As in always. No other additional steps should be needed.

Can you folks please open a bug to get this fixed? This used to work just fine in (much) older versions of Firefox and Netscape. "Always ask" is supposed to mean always ask. Like, always.

Can't play Roblox Unblocked on the browser

Roblox was blocked on my device and I wanted to get it unblocked and play it on Infrexa with Firefox. I already followed steps mentioned on the official webpage: https://www.infrexa.com/now-gg-roblox-login-and-play-roblox-unblocked-on-your-browser so please don't advise similar troubleshooting methods.

Now I am able to play roblox but the problem is that when I play the Roblox through "Mozilla Firefox" it shows an error "Firefox is already running but is not responding" and then becomes unresponsive when pressing refresh button, the fan gets faster and device heats up with too much hanging. But when I open the Roblox through "Chrome" it comparatively works good and asks for login details and after redirection it allows me to play Roblox Unblocked without any issue. "Roblox unblocked" here simply means a technical sense, meaning “not crashing” or “free from software or network errors and or browser malfunction".

I have been using Firefox for a long time and my passwords and user ids are saved in the browser so I want to continue using "Firefox" as default browser but I am having the issue in playing roblox unblocked and other games through Firefox browser. I think the current issue that I have started facing is especially after a recent windows update.

I also tried many other gaming platforms like Official Roblox.com, Now.gg Roblox, easyfun.gg and web.cloudmoonapp.com but all of them faced same issues on Firefox while running ok on Chrome.

I am currently running Windows 11 (25H2 Licensed version). I want to play roblox unblocked on my device using Firefox (updated). My parents have already allowed me to play Roblox and I am playing it on my own device and internet connection. Please fix the browser issue and unblock Roblox for me. Please also check my browser version against Windows 11 compatibility if possible.

If you fix this issue for me, I will be grateful to you.

Firstly, because, It is annoying to manually have set browser.tabs.groups.smart.enabled and browser.tabs.groups.enabled to false every time when installing firefox.

Secondly, because this is not sufficient to restore the normal correct beaviour. Tabs cannot be detached despite browser.tabs.allowTabDetach being true.

FF 141.0 on FreeBSD, only extension is NoScript.

What needs to be done still so that tabs can be detached?

P.S.: Suggested long term solution: Introduce an option "Disable tab groups ENTIRELY, restore behaviour as it was before introduction of tab groups.".
