when i click a notification from youtube in the windows action center it should open that video in the browser but it does nothing. does anybody have this issue or know how to solve it?

Hey all,

After a fresh windows install I ran in to an issue where Firefox has issues playing back videos. It is most noticeable on Reddit, but other video sites that are not Youtube (for some reason Youtube videos, even when embedded in Reddit) have the same issue.

What happens is: a video shows the first frame. I press play and it plays at an extremely low rate 1 frame every few seconds, I can't really tell whether it goes from frame 1 to 2, but it definitely does not go from 1 to 1+(time past * frame rate). Another symptom that seems to be reddit embedded video specific is that after some time it says "video not available."

Videos do play for a very short while after rebooting, and clearing cookies also seems to help, however after some time even clearing cookies has the video stopping again.

I ran the profiler for media on a completely fresh profile with no addins. I found a video, started the profiler and pressed play. I let it run for 2 frame changes and after that I stopped the profiler. I'm not able to really interpret what is going on, but I hope that someone can.

I've shared device/troubleshooting info.

Windows and Firefox are installed on a 1TB Samsung Evo 970, which I think may be the only relevant bit of info that's not in there.

If there is any other info that I can provide I am happy to do so.

I am only able to search, regardless which search engine I select. I am not able to type a URL and go directly to a website. It automatically gives me a search result instead.

I can't upload videos to YouTube via Firefox. Uploading progress stays on 0%. Using the Edge browser videos upload normally. It has always worked with Firefox previously.

It is really very strange and unbelievable! No page is open, but the memory occupies more than 700 MB and uses more than 20% cpu! What should I do exactly? I use Windows 11 24 H2

Hi ! When watching a feed where there are videos and pictures, the scrolling slows down and the picture jerks In all other applications and browsers everything is ok what can be done Thank you

I've been using Thunderbird for years and never had any major problems until a few days ago. But ever since you automatically installed Version 128.4.2esr on my HP desktop running Windows 11, all I can get from Thunderbird is a blank screen unless I go into Troubleshoot mode. Subsequent automatic installation of Version 128.4.3esr did not help.

Hi all, I am using Firefox 132.0.2 aarch64 on my MacBook Pro M2 with Sequia 15.1. Since a few days, I cannot connect to any of my services in my local network. My MacBook has the ip 192.168.10.86, and I cannot connect with Firefox to an address in the subnet 192.168.10. or to any other directly connected (e.g. virtualized) services like a web server running on 192.168.66.4 with a virtual Nic (via UTM) 192.168.10.1

Unfortunately, every other app on my Mac is able to connect these services, via terminal, Safari browser or with the brave browser. It is irrelevant if I use local names (either via a local dns-server or via /etc/hosts) or if I use the ip as the intended target.

What have I done so far: Re-installed Firefox Started with a clean profile Started with private mode Nothing helps

I started the logging (when I tried to connect to my router 192.168.10.1), here is some of the output, which makes no sense to me: 2024-11-13 16:54:26.870426 UTC - [Parent 63592: Socket Thread]: V/nsHttp FindCoalescableConnection(..........[tlsflags0x00000000]192.168.10.1:80^partitionKey=%28http%2C192.168.10.1%29) no matching conn honestly, I have no idea, what a correct line would look like.

At the end, I captured the traffic with Wireshark. Here it is getting tricky: I see the successful dns-connection, but there is absolutely no request to the http(s) port to the intended system. If I use a vpn back to my home net, everything works fine. But if I am "correctly" connected, no connection is established. I tried to change some of the network parameters with about:config, but either did not hit the right one or it does not help.

Even if I use a proxy system in my local net and use it in Firefox, there is no successful connection to this local system, if I try to connect with Safari, it works like charm.

So, does anybody of you have a good idea where to look or check internal details of Firefox? If you need further information or something I should check, please let me know.

Best regards Ulf

It appears that Mozilla does not intend to fix this version to be used under Windows 7. It continually and suddenly shows the Firefox version of the BSOD with GAH! at the top. I am in a difficult spot whereby I have several legacy programs I use in my business that do not work correctly under Window 10 or higher. I have tried Opera which is a solution other than it doesn't support an extension on Windows 7 for a mainstream program I use all the time. Please advise when you will get this bug fixed. At least provide older versions of Firefox when it used to work correctly.

I am trying to use Zoho CRM to call clients by clicking on their phone icon. It shows me a pop up saying "Connecting..." but nothing happens. Zoho support examined the issue in depth with screens share and ended up telling me the issue is with my firefox (they insist this function normally works with firefox browser) not connecting to WebRTC.

The action works fine in Chrome.

Any ideas anyone?

I use insert link all the time and it will work great for weeks and then randomly freezes. I have read so many threads about Band-Aid solutions for this as it seems to be a well established problem - so come one TB- solve it so it doesn't happen!! Anyway these are the solutions that have worked best for me

1. Use the esc key when your email freezes - this unfreezes the email instead of having to force close thunderbird - and then you can chose to paste the http link instead of insert.
2. If you have two screens - move your email to the opposite screen and try again - I found that the link screen dialogue box seems to have a preferred space between itself and the email (so incongruous)
3. Click Alt+spacebar to open the move dialogue box which allows you to move the email and sometime reset the location of the link dialogue box
4. Turn off hardware acceleration in settings general (at the bottom)
5. close thunderbird and open in safe mode by holding shift whist clicking TB. at the prompt: 'Reset toolbars & controls', 'Make changes & restart'.

But this should not be an ongoing problem - its super annoying and needs to be addressed

I belong to a number of Group IO groups. I just noticed that the correspondents in all my E-mails from the groups are changed to the same FROM.

I'm running windows 10 22H2 Thunderbird 128.4.2 (64 bit)

I checked the email source and there the FROM is correct.

Is it something that I did inadvertently?

Thanks, Nor

Hi,

I have finally managed to escape MS 365 and wanted to use Apple Mail. Having problems with that so I set up Thunderbird (TB).

Now all of a sudden all I get is a blank white screen with the spinning Apple beach ball. Forever.

I have done all the usual things, computer on and off again, reinstall the TB app etc.

The TB dock icon shows there is mail but I cannot get to it.

I did search Google and this forum but only found a closed thread with no solution.

Any help would be appreciated :-)

bold textSome problem about google and it blocks me from accessing https://en.susudiy.com/detail?id=1855800432773828610. Please note that I am signed into google so I have no idea what the problem is. it started today.

I don't know how to put it into words that well, but, it's as if my Firefox is just a clickable picture. If I try to use the search engine, it won't let me search, just put words in. If I try to open the menu, I can't, I can only click on the three lines with no pop-up. I can't use my addons, I can't even open another tab. I've tried opening other windows, restarting my computer, leaving it off for a while, and letting it stay on for hours, but it still isn't working. I tried running the updater, but It won't run. I tried running the maintenance service, same outcome. I don't want to delete Firefox because I fear that my account didn't probably sync some important things. I don't know what to do, this all happened after an update. Here's a video of what's going on: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PBpoHDn29gUp2mCK8I38V4oPwsXRwL0r/view?usp=sharing
