Hi!

I've noticed dropped frames in videos for a while now, but only recently tested the issue. Using youtubes stats for nerds, I found that when videos have a small viewport resolution, it starts to drop frames. (I would test with other sites but only know of youtubes stats for nerds system to detect issues like this) For example a viewport resolution of 1250x703 does not drop frames, however by unmaximising the screen and the viewport resolution drops to 681x383, it begins dropping frames.

Using my 2nd monitor which has a smaller actual resolution, the video drops frames unless fullscreened, see recordings below. Test A | Firefox Maximised but video not fullscreen Test B | Firefox Maximised and video fullscreen This issue also occurs with picture-in-picture mode.

Disabling hardware acceleration fixes this issue but for some reason only affects firefox, using MS Edge with "graphics acceleration" enabled does not result in this issue. Is this potentially an issue specifically with how firefox handles hardware acceleration? Also since I require hardware acceleration to be enabled for 3D model work in my browser, is there something I'm missing here that would allow me to keep hardware acceleration on but not have this issue?

Any help is much appreciated, thanks!

Regarding the current state of Firefox and WebUSB, I have four thoughts:

1. Yes, Mozilla's concerns regarding the security risks are valid, but not insurmountable.
2. In my experience, this is the single W3C noncompliance that impedes my use of Firefox.
3. In my experience, an increasing number of companies/organizations are leveraging WebUSB, from core-functionality of end-user hardware to enterprise-level troubleshooting, configuration, and support.
4. If Mozilla permits the use of unsigned plugins for its Firefox Developer Edition because of the reasonable expectation that its users understand the risks, it stands to reason that the same could be said for WebUSB.

(There's no need to reply, really - this is only being publicly posted because there doesn't seem to be a way to do otherwise - I just wanted to go through the exercise of casting this message-in-a-bottle into the sea.)

How do I figure out what is interfering with Thunderbird printing? I can start in safe mode and it will detect the printer and print but then I lose formatting I like on the home page.

Recently, I have not been able to upload a video to YouTube. When I try to upload it, the upload is stuck on 0%. I tried another browser, and it worked fine. This has not been a problem until. I have uploaded many videos. The last time was about a month ago. So, maybe there is some problem with an update. Does anyone else have this problem or know the solution?

I get the server not found error on almost anything.

Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site. We can’t connect to the server at [literally almost any site] If you entered the right address, you can:

   Try again later
   Check your network connection
   Check that Firefox has permission to access the web (you might be connected but behind a firewall)

The site usually loads after I wait like 2-3 mins before reloading the site, or I force reload it around 7 times, but I cannot find a way to make the issue go away. I have refreshed Firefox, I have uninstalled and reinstalled it fresh, I have opened Firefox in Troubleshooting mode and the issue persists. I am at the end of my wits. Someone please give me something else to try.

I was using Thunderbird for Windows 10 normally for many months. Recently, whenever I launch the app it immediately freezes, and I have to force quit the application. Reinstalling the app does not fix the issue. I haven't tried deleting my profiles yet, but I would like to avoid that if possible.

Ever since I upgraded to 115.10.1 (from a much earlier version, which worked well), Thunderbird is randomly very slow.

First off, at opening time, it takes ages (over a minute) to download some incoming (small) messages - while this was definitely not the case with the previous version I was running. Sometimes, it hangs (for anywhere from 15 to 60 seconds) while I am typing a message.

Also, e.g. today, I tried to send an email (250 KB or so): it just kept on saying "sending". When I clicked (after a few minutes) to stop the sending, the window closed without further ado and I couldn't find the message anywhere (not in the Drafts, not in the Sent). I did it again, it then hung on copying the message to the "sent" folder. When it finally said it failed, and asked if I wanted to have it copied to a local folder, I clicked "yes". Upon checking, it had stored it in the "sent" messages, not locally...

I am running Windows 10 Pro, with ample memory and disk space, and a fiber optics connection. The CPU is not overloaded at all nor any other ressource.

It is becoming increasingly annoying.

Hello, I'm having an issue with how Firefox is displaying images on some of our product pages. The image appears to be zoomed in which cuts off the side of the product image. The exact same product page displays completely fine when using Safari and Chrome. I cannot figure out the issue. Please see attached images.

I have tried:

modifying the about:config page prefs:

   browser.enable_automatic_image_resizing
   browser.enable_click_image_resizing 

I have also tried resetting the zoom features (Command/Conrl +/-/0).

I have also tried reinstalling firefox and running the browser without any extensions.

None of these worked. Any suggestions?

So i use garuda linux(not sure if necessary but still telling). The ".mozilla" folder is about 134 GB! I have browsed it a bit and found a lot of this folders "vuzpdtyn.default-release-backup-crashrecovery", "tor50voj.default-backup-crashrecovery-", "profile-somestuff-backup-crashrecovery" Is it safe to delete the old ones from this?

So, today i opened up my firefox and loaded up youtube; it didn't load. I tried to check my wifi speed on speedtest by ookla...the website didnt work. Then i went to reddit to see if this was a bug affecting everyone anddd that also did not work. So, basically half of the websites that i use do not work right now and i can't figure out why. Everything was fine till yestderday and i havent changed any settings. Also, Wifi speed is not the problem here as i opened up ms edge and everything works.

Please help! Here's a reference image of how websites look ( imgur ) Funnily enough, imgur also did not work of mozilla.

I get PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR when trying to load certain websites. I don't use any proxy or VPN, I tried disabling DoH. Also sometimes i get 403 forbidden cloudflare.

Yesterday I have updated tp macOS 15. Sine then I have trupuble displaying any webpages in Firefox 130. Th econnection just times out. Any other browser such as Brave, Safari, Home, Edge are still working as before teh update. How to fix this please?

I tried to send an email and got a message saying "The message could not be sent because connections to Outgoing server (SMTP) pop3.gmail,com failed. The server may be unavailable or is refusing SMTP connections. Please verify your Outgoing server(SMTP) are correct and try again". I checked and they seem right but I cannot even send an email from one account to the other. The same message appears and I don't believe anything has been changed, aside from adding another address, that I know of.

I have accounts from Outlook Mail through GoDaddy and Gmail on my Thunderbird desktop app. After the update on 9/17/24 I am unable to send from any of my 3 accounts. Please help.

Hello, when i fullscreen video on youtube video stops buffering. When i end fullscreen buffering immediatly starts and everything is okay. Back and forth. I tried: reinstall to lastest mozilla release, disable addons, stoubleshoot mode, increase cache in about:config and other public solutions i can google. When i look on "Statistic for experts" on youtube there are three bars and it shows: Normal size player: Connection Speed - some amount of kbps (works) Network Activity - some amount of KB (works) Buffer Health - some amout of s (works) Fullscreen: Connection Speed - some amount of kbps (works) Network Activity - 0 KB (doesn´t work) Buffer Health - 0 s (doesn´t work)

I cannot use Firefox or Thunderbird I keep getting an error code: PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR The problem started straight after the latest update a few days ago.

I have cleared the cache and cookies I turned off the addons and extensions I shut down the internet security I changed the proxy settings to "no proxy" I even changed cert9 to ccert9 and had firefox generate a new cert9

Nothing has worked.

HELP!

Last night (9/23/2024), Thunderbird began presenting a screen (see attached) requiring me to sign in to contine to Mozilla Thunderbird Email. At the top of the screen is a "Sign in with Google" line. However, there is nowhere to sign into anything. My correct email is displayed but no entry for a password.

Clicking "Next" takes you to an Error 400 screen. There is no "Close" button and the only way out of the screen is to hit "Esc," which takes me to my Email account. After a short bit, the screen refreshes back to that " sign in to contine to Mozilla Thunderbird" screen. After one or two more uses of :Esc, I can get back control of my laptop.

Meanwhile, Thunderbird is frozen--mail doesn't update, and any attempt to use T-Bird returns me to the sign in cycle. Win 11; TB ver, 128.2.3esr (32-bit); server security imap.gmail.com, port 993, outgoing server smtp.google.com, authentication OAuth2. I've accepted cookies and javascript and closed my VPN. can't figure what to do next.
