I can't watch youtube videos because the player is hidden idk, i just see blank space in the place where the player should be, but in private window youtube works. What happened and what should i do to fix this?

Hello! Everything was fine until I briefly used a VPN extension for maximum 10 minutes (it's UrbanVPN), and when I returned to the tab with the youtube video on it, it had no sound (I've used this particular extention plenty of times, it's the first time this has happened, also I don't know if it has anything to do with the extension, I just thought I should mention it). Laptop is fine, all sound everywhere else works perfectly, except from any video played from the mozilla browser. I took some advice from online: I restarted the computer, I selected troubleshooting, I typed about:profiles and selected 'Restart normally', nothing has worked so far. The only thing I haven't done yet is disabling graphics hardware acceleration, an advice from mozilla support for a similar problem a person had 6 years ago (no sound on youtube), but I can't find where that is, maybe because I have the latest mozilla version. Could you help me?

I've noticed recently that some Unicode characters are not rendering properly on some websites. Specifically the Unicode characters for Mathematical Bold Capitals, though there may be others. I've noticed this issue on Twitch and GitHub. Screenshots for the repository sainnhe/everforest are attached along with the Inspector. Notice the characters do not appear properly on the webpage but are rendered just fine in Inspector. I also attached the screenshot for Unicode Mathematical Bold Capital E.

I am running Firefox version 132.0 on macOS Sequoia 15.0.1. The problem remains in Troubleshoot Mode. The problem does not appear in Chrome or Safari. The problem does not appear on my iPhone or Android tablet.

In posts with similar issues I've seen the suggestion to toggle "Allow pages to choose their own fonts", the issue does not respond to changing this setting (it is on in all the screenshots).

I have been using two Firefox browser windows a lot recently. Suddenly the response time to a request to open new window went from immediate to 20 seconds. Initially that meant I hit the "new window" button 10 times to get any response which meant browsing was interrupted for the next 5 minutes by the appearance of yet more new windows at 20 second intervals! Has anyone any idea about what has happened?

After updating firefox nightly on my macbook air m1 all navigation buttons (back, forward, new tab, bookmarks etc.) have dissapeared.

Any idea how to get them back?

Restore the new tab button to the tabs bar, as well as the ability to put extension icons on the toolbar! There was no reason to remove these and it's highly inconvenient with these new changes!

I love Firefox, I use it on all my devices. And daily I access facebook.com on this browser, it's been working flawlessly - until yesterday. Yesterday, using Firefox (ver 130.0.1) on my Windows 10 PC, I tried accessing a FB page which I visit sometimes: https://www.facebook.com/OpenOscillator

Rather than reaching that page, I got a white screen with this error message: "Sorry, something went wrong." And since then, even visiting the Facebook home page (or any other FB page) has the same error message.

Today I tried the same thing on my Mac (OS 14.3), using Firefox and logging into facebook.com, which worked as usual. But when I went to https://www.facebook.com/OpenOscillator, I got the same error message: "Sorry, something went wrong." And as happened on my PC, now on my Mac I can't access any FB page on Firefox.

And just to mention, I've rebooted both the PC and the Mac, yet this problem persists on both devices.

Trying this same exercise on Edge on my PC does not have this problem. Nor does it happen when doing this on Safari on my Mac.

So, this problem has only been happening on Firefox. I can no longer access facebook.com with Firefox. Do you guys have any ideas how to solve this?

Helpful to know: Do you have the same outcome if you visit this FB page: https://www.facebook.com/OpenOscillator

Thanks for your assistance! Steven

I rarely go online so I simply use my phone's tether connection the few times I do. I recently upgraded to a new phone and 5G service. Now I discover I can no longer get onto the internet via either tethering or hotspot. The phone connects with the desktop okay and the two devices know about each other but Firefox cannot find any servers. It worked just fine under 4G. Luckily I did a software update of Firefox on my desktop before the new phone and used it a couple of times so I know it is fully up to date. My desktop is Linux mint but I don't think the pblm is there. I am suspicious it is the handshaking that the browser has to do with the 5G network.

Has anyone tried this yet?

Hi,\

Over the past week or so, my homepage refreshes intermittently and all of the time when I close tab. When I am on my homepage to read (MSN), I typically use the right click command to open the links in a new tab so I can keep the article in the homepage there. Every time I close the news tabs, the homepage refreshes. If I am just sitting on the homepage for few minutes, it auto-refreshes.

This does not happen on Edge or Chromium and I have been back to Firefox because I want more control over not having AI functions and Chromium still has serious limitations. But this is annoying. I have tried changing as many of the relevant settings in about:config that I could find to no avail. My PC an All-in-One 6 core Ryzen 7 with 16GB of RAM, which is far more than enough to handle the memory hog Firefox is (sometimes it eats nearly 2 gigs).

Any thoughts?

Thanks, Tom

I thought I had solved this by adding the website to the "safe" list - I really cannot say how frustrating this is if I am being locked out of even safe sites. - This is a browser issue (I'm not that naive).

There is no real response from Moacilla(Firefox) here apart from throwing the Rulebbok at me and saying "Read!". I can only do so much Tune ups" and shut downs and ensure drives are functional. Please advise on the Browser Cache situation, rspecially as BBC iPlayer is added to the "Safe List" and yet still throws up the 400 Bad Gateway error message - an early reply would be useful.

Hi team,

I am a researcher and trying to collect data from crash-stats.mozilla.org for my research. However, I got 403 Forbidden for several days. Can you help me to resolve this? Thank you in advance.

There are three accounts I have to use regularly to pay bills.

On one of them (PG&E), FF is useless. Can't even log in.

On the two others, banners come up that say FF is unsupported. Both still usable for the moment, But the future....

I fear FF is going to become unusable/irrelevant in my work-flow in the near-term future if the trend in my skewed sample continues.
