The video portion of some YouTube videos freezes while the audio channel continues. I can advance the video using the slider, and the video will then play a few frames before it locks up again. Ths only happens with some videos, and there is nothing identifiable about those videos to differentiate them from videos that will play normally.
Initially, this problem appeared only if I right-clicked on a video to play it in a new tab, but now it seems to periodically happen regardless of which window.

I've got several bookmarks sorted into folders. I want to create a new folder and put more bookmarks in it. This is easy to do, but FireFox puts the new folder at the bottom of the list. I want to move that new folder so it is farther up the list. I used to be able to do that by simply dragging and dropping the bookmark folder, but that no longer works.
All the tips I've found on the internet only tell me how to create a new folder and/or move bookmarks to an existing folder. They don't say how to move the folder itself. I see options in the "Library" window to sort alphabetically, but this is not what I want to do. I simply want to position the bookmark folder manually.
Can anybody help? I much appreciate your advice.

Personal web page functions have stopped working

First, my problem is occurring on personal web page projects I work on. Every file is saved on and accessed from my local hard drive. My projects involve two frames...left frame is table of contents, right frame is the "main frame". I hide the table of contents until the mouse goes over to a certain part of the screen...when this happens, the contents frame "pops out". When the mouse leaves the contents frame, the frame hides itself again. Since the last Firefox update, (July 18 2019, I believe), the pop-out / hide functions aren't working. The frames still load in, but they won't pop out or hide when they're supposed to. They stay at whatever size I resize the frame to. In addition to this, my personal project pages are no longer loading in the fonts they are supposed to. Everything seems to be defaulting to the system (or Firefox) standard.
More Information: The pop-out / hide functions only seemed to ever work with Firefox. I never could get it to work with Opera / Chrome / IE. This is the main reason I stuck with Firefox for so long.
Is this an error that is going to be fixed, or a byproduct of a change that's been made that I'm just going to have to live with? I can provide more information if needed.
When Firefox loads up it calls out to sites, how do I stop that?

I'm using Firefox 68.0, 64 bit, on Win 10 Pro.
When I load up Firefox it takes a while (with a lot of disk activity) to load up. Maybe a minute or so at present, (it was longer until I manually cleared out extravagant amounts of data stored by sites that shouldn't have it).
When looking at the Manage Data functionality under the Privacy settings today, I saw that a large number of sites has their "last used" time marked as "3 minutes ago" which corresponded to the time Firefox was started up.
I looked through the sites involved. Over a hundred of them. Mostly sites that I haven't used for a long time, and not sites that the open pages have any links to (in other words these are not legitimate pre-fetches).
I manually selected the appropriate sites and removed cookies and data.
What is happening?
What default site setting/s can I use to prevent this sort of thing in future (on start-up)?
How do I programmatically access the "Manage Data" functionality? (I'd like to check sites what have gotten onto Firefox, how many cookies they have, how much data space they occupy, when last accessed, and remove their data should I wish. I don't want to do this repeatedly every few days, by hand.)
I've attached an image of the Manage Data screen taken about an hour after Firefox started, to illustrate.
Thanks.
How do I stop Firefox from auto adding websites to Bookmarks even if that page isn't open?

I have 6 websites that automatically add the sites to my bookmarks, even when I am not on the site. I went there once and somehow they are populating my bookmarks with 100s of each site. Also, my folders are being duplicated. The attached image shows a sample of my bookmarks. When I set my mouse on the down arrow to scroll to the end, it takes 115 seconds to roll to the end at about 3 seconds per 40-line page scrolled. Current rough estimate is over 1600 bookmark/folder items. I went thru the editing 2 weeks ago, removing all unwanted bookmarks & folders.

Hi, I'm encountering a lot of lag in Firefox. Websites are loading incredibly slow, mostly after the information actually loads. I'm looking for an option to disconnect access to the internet for a webpage.
For example, Linkedin is the main contributor of this lag. It loads the visual webpage I see, then it loads a lot of information in the background. Until it finishes this background loading, I can't select any text. I'm looking for the option to stop this background loading. Something "stronger" than the button in the top left, where the refresh button is. I want to stop the webpage from being able to access the internet, is this possible?

After the last update, almost all of the icons for my search engines in the search bar are missing. I have to remember which blank box Amazon was in so I can click on that box to get to Amazon. The IMDb icon for some reason is still in its box. How do I get the icons back so I don't have to guess every time I need to find something? I've rebooted, removed and replaced the search box, but nothing works.
Google websites unresponsive on Firefox (gmail, drive, maps...). Pictures/clip art don't load. Click sensitivity offline.
"Next" button unresponsive on any Google login page. No icons on google maps. No response to click.

I use an ultrwide monitor so I often view two webpages side by side, now for exmaple if I snap firefox to the right side of my screen it works fine, but I can't then drag out a tab and snap it to the left side of my screen and maximise the space in one go, in Windows 7 this used to work.
In windows 10 you have to drag out the tab, then drag and snap to maximise the space fully, in chrome for example it works in one go, just drag the tab and snap, maximise in one go.

68.0.1 (64-bit) Windows 10 Laptop Had this issue for a few days
This worked fine in the past. All my settings in W10 allow snap / resize.
Use Windows logo button + arrow keys (left / right) to resize / snap windows quickly. This doesn't work for firefox. All other apps, including Chrome works fine.
Also, I can't manually stretch the browser borders. It's frozen.

This would make a great official Firefox Add-on that I'd install on day one and link to my Firefox Sync account just like I did with Mozilla Support right before I posted this suggestion. It's easy to lose track of all the important bookmarks in the three places I can have all my bookmarks in Firefox now: the toolbar, menu and other bookmarks. I'd add sites like routeoneapparel.com and ourstatestore.com to it since I love giving gifts to my friends and family for no special ocassion as often as I can, to let them know they're very often on my mind!
Firefox 68.0.1 YouTube HDR problem

Firefox 68 thinks that I have an HDR equipment and I have to watch HDR versions of differnet youtube videos instead of SDR.
Video links: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVvEISFw9w0&t=111s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQVwkyn3-F8&t=131s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0FYjApop7Mk&t=8s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHUOCxVT5ro&t=23s
This is an example, this glitch happens with every HDR bt2020 video. Edge and Chrome show SRD versions of videos as it should be.
This is Youtube info in Firefox 68.0.1: Codecs vp09.02.51.10.01.09.16.09 (337) / opus (251) Color smpte2084 (PQ) / bt2020
And this is youtube info for Edge: Codecs vp9 (272) / opus (251) Color bt709 / bt709
As you can see - different color profiles. I have no HDR monitor. Windows 10 HDR settings are grayed out. I have tested Firefox 68.0.1 on Windows 7 with old and slow NVIDIA card and on Windows 7 with middle-level AMD Radeon. Results are the same: Firefox shows HDR versions of the videos.
Btw: the problem in gone if I use Firefox 67.0.4. But problem remains in current Firefox Beta and Nightly. Also I have faced this problem in Firefox 68 for Android: it forces me to watch HDR versions of videos, while my smartprone has SDR screen. I ve got latest video drivers for my GTX1060_6GB. I have cleared profile, cleared cache, reinstalled Firefox, ran Firefox in safe mode. Nothing helped. I still forced to watch HDR videos on SDR equipment.

Hi, according to this news https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2019/06/04/firefox-now-available-with-enhanced-tracking-protection-by-default/
mozilla is going to block third-party tracking cookies by default (based on a blacklist). I don't understand the difference between the "trackers" and "cookies" -> "third party trackers" option in the firefox settings. The news tells me that "just" the cookie option will be enabled by default, meaning that the trackers are still loaded.
Lets talk about the effects in case of google analytics? When I activate the tracker-block option or use adblock, I will get errors in the developer console (or in add ons) that google analytics isn't found/loaded. When I activate the upcoming third party tracker cookie option I DON'T get this message - so analytics is still executed. Isn't analytics simply not working anymore at all because it is using its cookies OR are there only SOME functions of analytics that will not work anymore?
Could anyone clarfiy this for me?

I have a user that needs ctrl-n to be 'freed from Firefox. She needs to use that shortcut for a web-based application and every time she uses that shortcut a new tab opens instead of applying the shortcut to the application. I have combed the shortcuts and the about:config page with no luck. Do you know of a way to unbind ctrl-n or disable it completely from Firefox?

I have (or had) several sites pinned so that they would always appear when I opened a new tab. I use them like bookmarks. Rather than add them to the bookmarks bar, I keep them there so I don't have to expand the tool bar menu and can see everything at once. Unfortunately, all the tiles on my new tab page are now missing, and there is also no cogwheel present where I can adjust the settings. I did not have Firefox sync before but recently turned it on. However, the tiles were still there initially after I signed in. They didn't disappear until the next day. Any ideas how I can fix this? Thank you!

The dialog box to give Zoom (for example) mic permission disappears before I can say yes. Is there a way to give Zoom permission before the app starts? If not, how do I get the dialog box back? Zoom is not a website so I'm not sure that going to Options/Permissions will work (but obviously I need to be in a live Zoom session to check this out). And, since I have never been able to give Zoom mic permission, I have not been able to use it - but I need to for an upcoming medical appointment in 3 days. If I give Zoom permission once will that be permanent? Thanks in advance for your help!
