I have sound in Windows, but YouTube is dead quit. I have tried all that is suggested in Firefox help and some YouTube sites. Nothing worked. I have tried off the computer and restarted, but no change. My system is Windows 11, sound works, and the latest Firefox update installed. Question is this a YouTube tacit to stop NoScript and uBlock?

wie geht das ?

Since the last update, 133 at least I believe that is the last update, I CANNOT LOG INTO Firefox for my PC. I have always used Firefox as my Primary Account therefore, once I have logged into Firefox I then log into my other programs such as Outlook.Live.com. Yes, I know that is a MS program. When I say I cannot log into Firefox.com this is what I mean. I click on the Firefox ICON in my task tray and Firefox appears only because I am NOT logged into Firefox. Then I am asked to Download Firefox for my PC. Of course, I know it is already downloaded and depending on the day I will receive a message saying Firefox is already downloaded or it may download it again. No matter my decision, I rarely have an opportunity to log in, unless I use a round-about way of going through Microsoft. Most of the time the application menu does not appear and when it does appear, and if Firefox allows me to use my credentials to log in, then I wait and wait and wait and the only thing that happens is NOTHING. I'm left staring at a blank screen. Since I've always used Firefox as my PRIMARY, after logging into it I then log in or open other programs I use such as Outlook.Live.com (yes, I know that is a MS program). After years of using Firefox I have never had to look at a blank screen and when I'm lucky enough to see the log in, I attempt to log into Outlook. But, I haven't seen Outlook in weeks. I have to use a round-about way of logging into Microsoft to log into Outlook, sometimes that works and sometimes it doesn't work. It's as though Microsoft and Firefox have found a way to merge their programming. As you may imagine it takes me over an hour to use the programs I need. 'AND, here is the icing on the cake. Mozilla Firefox no longer monitors Trend Micro Security which I have used at least 15 years. At one time, Firefox did monitor TM as an add-on but no longer, and when I checked to see the latest update you were showing, it is obvious you are not keeping up with TM's many updates. I have received some very strange messages from websites I previously log into on a daily basis, such as Grammarly and Pocket and have been redirected to a Microsoft page indicating I owe money, which I DON'T so that was another waste of my time clearing that up. Now, I have gone days without logging into my PC out of sheer frustration. I don't know what else to do and now I'm not protected with a Security Program although I do update and run it everyday. Yes, I am aware of Microsoft's firewall but I'm not sure how well that is working since my PC is now out-of-date. I suppose I could start a Go Fund Me page to earn enough money to buy a new computer...lol I desperately need help. BUT, I CANNOT understand your computer talk, I need things explained to me in everyday language. I hope this makes some sense. Rhonda Caywood

When I copy a post in X from Firefox into a text file, it loses formatting, but when I copy the same post in X from Edge into the text file, it keeps formatting. Why?

When I try to access a movie or get further info by clicking the movie's pic, I get this message, despite deleting my cache and cookies, closing and opening Firefox, shutting and opening my MacBook. Any suggestions most appreciated!

That shouldn't have happened.

It looks like something went wrong on our side. Let's find you a great video to watch instead.

I asked this a year ago and never saw a solution (other than 'gee, it should work yet'.) I use the local Windows Hosts file to give my router a quick reference name to get into it. That too has worked for years but began to fail last year. Inconvenient. The best I could track this down, it has something to do with forced DNS lookups and skipping the old Hosts file. If so, any work around to get my system simplicity back? Attached is what I see on each attempt.

I tried various settings for DOH and nothing works. I can reference the Hosts file in a Windows Cmd Prompt and it resolves just fine. Something is screwy in Firefox for some time now and I'd like to know what.

Since recently 1~2 version, my Firefox keeps consume large amount of memory and release it repeatedly

Even I restart Firefox and do nothing, it will start doing this again

I use about:processes and about:memory to capture this seems the main process's "tab.query" causing this, please check

PS: sometime it will consume till system max (64GB) and cause my OS out of memory. PS2: that wave-like memory usage is cause by Firefox

My very favorite browser will not open when I click the FF icon. I did another download and it will not open, as well. What can you tell me about this issue and how to fix it? An avid user for many years.

This video down helper is unstable it works when it wants to and stops working all the time can't somebody do something about it I paid for the license what more do you want fix this thing

If I need to upload a file I click on the OPEN or BROWSE button in the website, Open File dialogue opens trying to list the location it is already looking at, and it hangs for over 30 seconds before listing files. This is windows 11, but it did it when i had windows 10 too. I dont know what to do.

Hi all. I have been using firefox with ubuntu 22.04 for about since when ubuntu 22.04 was released (2022).

On firefox, I usually use the nordpass and tab grouping extensions. For the third or fourth time in a row, firefox has simply vanished from my system from day to night.

I click the icon and nothing happens. I try typing "firefox" in the terminal and get

   Command '/usr/bin/firefox' requires the firefox snap to be installed.
   Please install it with:

   snap install firefox

Even if I accept the bizarreness of snap simply deciding from one day to another that I don't have this package (or did I never have it and never needed it in the first place?) and try "snap install firefox" I get:

   snap "firefox" is already installed, see 'snap help refresh'

After reading the result of "snap refresh help" I decided to "snap refresh" to update all of it's packages. Still, "snap install firefox" and "firefox" keep giving me the same result.

What is happening here?

starting just now, firefox will not take me to ANY website. All other browsing services are working. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling and clearing cache and cookies.

If I cant get this fixed for my job I will go back to chrome and never download or retry this again. I will also never recommend firefox to anyone like I have in the past.
