I-Firefox Community Forum

Hello, I am suffering from an odd issue when using twitch.tv. In short, when viewing peoples streams, my video feed will usually turn into colorful static (aka "clown vomit"). I suspect that the issue is coming from Firefox, but I can't be certain. I am using a newly-bought laptop and the issue could be caused by a large number of things, theoretically. Here is what I know:

• When viewing on twitch.tv with quality 360p or higher, the video feed will usually (95%) become colorful static within 1 minute or less. When this happens, the video feed does not ever recover until page is refreshed or quality is changed. (I know a bit about video encoding, so this seems extremely odd to me, if it were due to a networking thing that lost some packets, a full-image frame should come alone sooner or later and fix things, but that never seems to happen)
• The video feed is far less likely to become corrupted when viewing at 160p, but can still happen.
• The ads may become corrupted in the same way that the main video feed can.
• When the feed is corrupted, the rest of the Twitch interface (pause/play, volume, quality select) is extremely laggy.
• When the feed is corrupted, if I pause the stream, sometimes the paused corrupted image is not completely stationary! There will be flickering in small portions of the image, looking similar to texture fighting in 3d rendering, flickering between two equally-but-differently corrupted versions of the image
• The issue never appears when using Chrome to watch twitch.tv. This is what makes me think Firefox is the culprit, not Twitch or networking or graphics drivers.
• Disabling my browser addons does not help.
• Private browsing window does not help.
• Clearing my browser cache does not help.
• I have had the issue happen on Youtube exactly once in 2 weeks, not sure if that's related or not, I think it was a normal "lost some network traffic but fixed itself the next time a full frame was received" thing.
• Video live streams on Youtube don't get corrupted the way they do on Twitch.

Can someone please give me advice for how to fix this? Has anyone seen anything like this before? Is there a way for me to get deeper under the hood of either Twitch or Firefox and more closely debug the video stream when it fails?

I don't get sound on any website, specifically NPR, Kanopy and Youtube. I've tried all of the suggestions in the Help menu, and they were, to put it mildly, no help. This seems to have begun with the latest update (134).

A while back I posted: Firefox NO LONGER adheres to "Ask if you want to Save" option..." Somehow - it was fixed after I posted - so I am trying again.

ALL my Application settings are correct - It says the browser is up to date - I am Windows 11 - Laptop. I don't know if it was an update that was just applied - I think it must be - As this was FINE yesterday - but NOW - When it press save - it automatically saves to a Download folder - It WILL NOT let me CHOOSE where to save. AND as you know in Settings, It says WHERE to save "DOWNLOADS" - you CAN change that - BUT - EVERY SAVE is DIfferent - I CAN'T and have NEVER saved something in the same folder every time - This was NEVER a problem - Just TODAY - so it has to be some upgrade that happened when I rebooted my laptop today. I have attached a screen grab - so you can see I have almost EVERYTHING as ALWAYS ASK - including Microsoft Word. HELP!!

Tried to file my Federal and State taxes using Turbo Tax which I have used for years. I am using the Turbo Tax on line app for Windows 11. Was unable to complete the filing because of many error messages. Turbo Tax tax experts suggested I switch to Chrome. I followed their suggestion switch to Chrome and was able to complete the filing of my Federal and States Taxes with no issues.

Why can't we use Firefox to file our Federal and State taxes?

Since the last update I find while using Google or Duckduckgo browsers that sites will load or are very slow to load. Not all sites but especially new sites. How to we fix this?

Since a couple of weeks, FireFox wil not open all frames locally from my website, but from the Internet it works just fine. When I work with my homepage, I test changes locally before publishing them. It works fine with Chrome, Edge, Brave and other bworsers. It's probably just a setting, but if anything, I have given more permits lately and not made restrictions. Anyway - I cannot find any setting, that should affect this. I have attached two images to illustrate the predicament, I'm in. frames1.png show the way I have organisted my pages. A frame at the top for overall navigation. A frame to the left that navigates the main-pages to the right. If I click on a link in the left pane, the main page no longer changes. frames2.png shows an actual example page. Windows 10 and Firefox latest version.

I have about 5 emails that are all out of sync and it seems like I can never keep up with them or lose track of one for a while where it's so out of date thati get locked out of it.

What's the best way to sync a ton of emails that are encrypted so things can run smoother???

Please and thanks

I need help to figure out why Firefox is preventing me from going to websites I have used for a long time. Says it is a security threat. Won't even let me connect to Youtube.com

Hello,

I installed Firefox on my Chromebook using the Debian installer. I was able to right click the installer and click install. It's worked really well so far, but the only issue I'm noticing is that MP4 files have no audio and I cannot unmute them. The video plays fine, it's just set to mute and nothing I do will unmute it, including right clicking the video and toggling mute.

An example video that will play, but there is no audio: https://html5videoplayer.net/html5video/mp4-h-264-video-test/

To be clear, YouTube videos play just fine through Firefox, and the above video video plays fine in Chrome or even via Discord (which I also installed the same way, using the .deb file).

I'm guessing it's an issue related to Linux (maybe there's a codec that isn't available?), but if there is a solution that anyone knows about I'd appreciate it!

Firefox freezes when signing in/typing username during the Gmail sign-in. Since the V..0 release, Firefox crashes every time I sign in to Gmail. I have already disabled all add-ons and tried signing in in safe mode, but the issue persists. As soon as I start typing the third letter in the sign-in field, Firefox freezes.

Firefox just updated. Now when I go to a website, right-click a link, and choose open in a new tab or window,it does nothing. If I left-click the link I can get to it in the same window, but when I go back to the originating page, it seldom takes me to back to where I started (which is why I prefer to open a new tab.)

The right-click menu itself looks wonky: There's blank spaces at the top, far too many options appearing, most of which are irrelevant to the situation or duplicate options.

This is happening in every site I've tried. For some sites I use this means Firefox is useless.
