PROBLEM: After a restart of Windows 10 and re-starting Firefox, a Firefox window with a YouTube web page in a tab will start playing unbidden. When multiple Firefox windows with multiple tabs each are in use multiple YouTube videos will start playing. (Only one of possibly multiple YouTube tabs per FireFox window, I believe.) The cacaphony is annoying. Tracking down the offending tabs is difficult. (There is no "Show tabs playing media" feature in Firefox.)

QUESTIONS: (1) How do I prevent Firefox from playing media (YouTube and others) unbidden when Firefox re-starts and re-loads its tabs? (2) How do I quickly find which Firefox windows have a tab that is playing media? (3) How do I quickly find which Firefox tabs are playing media? (4) How can YouTube videos be prevented from automatically starting when a Firefox web page with that video is re-loaded?

I use this 2 websites almost on a daily basis: www.saij.gob.ar and www.cij.gov.ar. They are official government websites that contain information about the laws and jurisprudence of my country. Since about last friday, whenever I access any page on those websites they don't display all the information they are supposed to. In the case of saij.gob.ar pages only show the header, but not the full text of the law. In the case of cij.gov.ar/sentencias.html when I try to download a court ruling I get a 0kb file. I thought it was an issue with the websites, but it turns out I can access them just fine from my phone using Chrome. I can even access them on the same pc, using Firefox private browser mode. It seems to be an issue with the "regular" version of the browser. This is a big deal to me, because I need to use those websites for work.

I attach 2 screenshots of this page: http://www.saij.gob.ar/26994-nacional-codigo-civil-comercial-nacion-lns0005965-2014-10-01/123456789-0abc-defg-g56-95000scanyel?q=%28numero-norma%3A26994%20%29&o=0&f=Total%7CTipo%20de%20Documento/Legislaci%F3n/Ley%7CFecha%7COrganismo%7CPublicaci%F3n%7CTema%7CEstado%20de%20Vigencia%7CAutor%7CJurisdicci%F3n&t=1 The first one shows the page on the regular browser, the other on private mode. Notice how small the scrollbar is in the second image, because there's a lot more content on the exact same page. Before you ask: I already tried accessing the website on "troubleshooting mode", it keeps displaying it wrong.

When I try to open up Firefox I get the following little box on a plain screen: Firefox Error: Platform Version '131.0.2' is not compatible with

     miniVersion >= 131.0.
     maxVersion <= 131.0.

So What can I do to correct this?

Dear colleagues:

I have made a page with a stack of z-indexed .heic images. The viewer clicks (jQuery) on the top image to reveal the next.

The page is local, not online. I'm on a Mac mini 2018, OS Ventura 13.6.1, Firefox 13.0.

Safari renders the operation correctly. Firefox fails to load the .heic images. Chrome also fails to load the images.

Any suggestions welcome. My 83yo brain sometimes misses things. cheers Chris

Can someone please tell me how to disable the new Sidebar? It is interrupting all of my workflow on the screen and it is frustrating with all of the choice and customization options in Firefox, that there would be no way to disable it.

I work at a university. More and more, when ever I need to log into a webpage for work, I am getting a

Bad Request

Google Chrome works just fine. This is getting REALLY frustrating

I'm referring to when you hit ctrl-d or click the star, click the location dropdown, and select the choose option to scroll through your bookmark folders to select where to put the bookmark, my menu is tiny and annoyingly easy to scroll too far in without realizing till it's too late. Quick google didn't seem to have a solution, and the support didn't recognize the verbiage at least (not sure if that's on me for wording it weird or what, I'm pretty new to FIrefox and still have growing pains from the switch from the now anti-adblock browser I abandoned). Anyone?

After i closed firefox with two windows it only restored the wrong tab and because most of the tabs were open some time ago i cant restore it from history too. Can i somehow restore them?

I am writing to propose adding Kagi as a default search engine option in Firefox. As a Firefox user, I believe Kagi's mission aligns well with Firefox's values and would be a positive addition for your users.

Key points: - Kagi is a privacy-focused, ad-free search engine - Its mission is to provide high-quality search results without tracking users or relying on advertising revenue - This aligns with Firefox's emphasis on privacy and giving users control of their data - Including Kagi would offer Firefox users an alternative to ad-supported search engines - It would demonstrate Firefox's commitment to promoting innovative, user-first web services

Could you please advise on the process for proposing a new default search engine? I would be happy to provide any additional information to assist in your evaluation of Kagi.

Thank you for your consideration. Looking forward ot hearing your thoughts.
