I-Firefox Community Forum

After the last update to firefox the video does not load. there is sound and the side chat chows. the website loads but no video. it is like the video player is being block. all i get is a large purple question mark on the screen ware the video player would be. I tried troubleshoot mode still the same. i removed all addons still the same. I reset firefox back to default and still the same. i have tried other browser and that all work fine.

I have read ALL of the help comments of all of the people who posted basically the same thing on Microsoft Community Forum that I could find - and can't find an answer.

I have: Two Laptops - Windows 10 and 11 Use Outlook Live (Hotmail) via Firefox

All Firefox browsers are UP TO DATE - and I have checked all the settings I can find - including about: config on Firefox itself - for some reason Pictures from senders - Yes - those I trust - do NOT show - I checked on Chrome and no problem, Edge no Problem - pictures show on BOTH those browsers - However - I prefer USING FIrefox (I don't like Chrome and only use it if I have to track emails and use THOSE features etc.)- I disabled ANY AD Blockers I have. As for Virus Protection - On Windows 11 I have UltraAV on the Windows 10 just Microsoft Defender - This just started happening.

I DO NOT get any kind of placeholder or a red X or any text saying anything - Just NO pix show in my Inbox.

This DOES NOT happen with the Outlook App on my Android or it seems anywhere else.

Can anyone help me?

i am quite pissed. i ve been looking for a possibility to ask for help in german language. though i am logged in to the firefox browser i have been constantly asked to log in or create a profil, switched to different pages or just running in circles. quite kafkaesque.

at last i have somehow found this possibility.

i am using firefox browser for a very long time now on different platforms, all my relevant data is saved within.

lately i have realised, that webpages are not loaded properly. after trying the same on chrome, i ve seen, that everything is working fine there.

last example: https://www.aldi-sued.de/de/hilfe-und-kontakt.html

the chat was loading, and didnt get "loaded". in chrome the chat was accessible in a second.

why does this happen? what can be done, to get firefox working as expected?

Logs out of email (gmail) after restarting the browser. I reinstalled windows and downloaded a browser, connected my account, and now when I go to gmail.com and register my mail, everything is fine, it works, but when I exit the browser and go back to gmail.com, there is nothing.

I updated Firefox to version 138 yesterday(29rd April). I use latest stable version of Linux Ubuntu. Sites itself will work, but top of browser wont. Can click open new tab from +-button, but can't close it.

Browser stops reacting to mouse clicks when browsing (after hours of browsing) and I have to use right-click to navigate on sites.... until I restart browser. I tried to close tab and refresh tab when these problems occurred. Also, this occurs on all sites.

I think this is clearly browser problem(because clicked areas are on browser, not inside tabs), not problem in sites itself, because problem manifested itself after hours of browsing, not immediately.

Edit: I'm not well-versed enough to write Bugzilla-report. Also in 138.0.1-1 version, where I updated 3rd May 2025.

Edit 2: I've added picture of area that stops working. Edit 3: On another picture, can't close "Archaeology" tab, no matter what. Edit 4: Clarified things up.

NOTE: I am using Firefox Extended Release Version: 115.23.1esr (64-bit)

Hello,

When I edit a blog Post in Wordpress, there are critical buttons missing from the top-right of the screen, and only 2 of the buttons display, but even they are askew and out of place:

See Image #1.

I have to use an old Brave browser to see the buttons:

See Image #2.

Any help at getting this rectified would be great.

Thank you in advance.

I'm trying to switch from Chrome to Firefox after getting pissed off that Chrome removed Unblock Origin. I'm using Ubuntu 24.04.

My Yubikey worked on the snap version of Firefox but I got rid of the snap version because it was consuming 40% CPU to use Google Meet. The apt version uses less CPU, but now my U2F keys don't work. Any website that says "Touch security key", touching the security key does nothing. No feedback whatseover.

What gives?

This is a horrible UX. Installing a browser and having it work optimally out of the box should be a one click thing.

Today I've noticed some horizontal lines on youtube videos. Upon further investigation, I've traced it to a single div element:

The base64 encoded image is the lines I'm seeing.

Initially after starting a new private session and navigating straight to youtube.com I had no lines. Then in that private session same element doesn't have an image:

What's odd about this is if I opened a private window and copy pasted the same video URL I would get the lines. After testing multiple times I started getting the lines even after navigating straight to youtube.com.

So I did another test: changed my IP with a VPN in a private session. Navigated straight to youtube.com, watched multiple videos without any lines. Then I logged in to my account and boom, the lines are back...

Opening the same video on google chrome browser I get a smooth gradient line image:

The browser is functioning as intended, but youtube is intentionally making their website unusable. What the f###? I have youtube premium, adblocker disabled on their website.

While opening any Google Drive folder, or by opening docs/sheets start page, none of the contents show up. In the bottom left corner there is an error: "The server has encountered an error. Please try again later." . No amount of "trying again later" works , but through trial and error (disabling modified settings in another profile) i found the culprit of this error message: in about:config setting called network.http.referer.spoofSource was set to true, setting it to false makes the issue i described above disappear.

While my issue is solved, I still don't understand why on every Firefox profile i create this setting is set to true, and whether changing it is a security concern

Hello developers;

I have used Firefox for long time on both Mac and Windows.

Recently, I have been experiencing the phenomenon described above, i.e., when entering Japanese text into iCloud Memo on Firefox, it appears as a double character. I'm sorry but I haven't taken screen shot.

This is the same on both Mac and Windows. It does not depend on the Japanese input method (IME). Refresh and reinstallation did not resolve the issue. Finally, I reverted to the previous version and the phenomenon was resolved.

From the above, we assume that the problem is caused by some kind of recovery in the latest version.

Thank you in advance for your confirmation and response.

I have forgotten the purpose of the green outline around the page's border. What does it do and how to turn on, after turning it off. Thanks in advance. Let me know if this is an extension or some other feature. Thanks, JJE

Google Maps satellite view not working correctly (images attached). My adblocker ultimate is set to disabled. I have NordVPN and turned it off. When I use chrome, the images come up with no issue.

While browsing youtube,i no longer find cast to tv icon in Firefox browser.Can you help me please,as after stroke my eye-sight is diminished.I was able to do it before,as i switched over Linux Mint 22 wilma,i am unable to find this cast icon.Thanks.

I keep seeing "Firefox can't open this page" and I'm confused why, images will load fine but some of them just don't for whatever reason? Does someone know what's going on, and if needed I can provide some more context
