I installed Firefox yesterday, and everything was fine for a day. Today, when I play a YouTube video, the entire page freezes - I can't pause it, select text, or do anything. The page starts responding after about 10 seconds from last interaction.

Compared to Chrome, I can play 20 YouTube videos at once and everything works fine.

The problem only occurs on YouTube. Sites like CDA and Jellyfin work fine.

I'm trying to stop Firefox from restoring tabs after I restart my OS. So far, I've done the following:

• Disabled `Startup > Open Previous Windows and Tabs`
• Disabled all extensions
• Confirmed I do not have a `user.js` file
• Set `browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash` to `false`
• Set `browser.sessionstore.restore_on_demand` to `false`
• Set `browser.sessionstore.resuming_after_os_restart` to `false` (It was already set this way.)
• Set `browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes` to `0`
• Set `privacy.clearOnShutdown.openWindows` to `true`
• Set `browser.sessionstore.max_tabs_undo` to `0`
• Set `browser.sessionstore.max_windows_undo` to `0`

(I've since reverted the last two and the extension changes after they didn't work.)

So far, Firefox will not restore tabs on application restart (manually closing and relaunching) or on crashing (after sending SIGTERM/SIGKILL), but it still restores tabs after restarting the OS (if I allow the OS to kill it during shutdown). I've seen a couple suggestions to disable history completely, but I do occasionally refer to my browsing history, so I'd prefer a less-drastic approach. Ideally, I just want Firefox to treat the first launch after a shutdown as a normal launch and not apply any special behavior. Any help would be much appreciated!

Hello Support Team,

Since updating to the newest Firefox instance, anytime I try to login to my Hotmail/Outlook account I get the following error: "You've tried to sign in too many times with an incorrect account or password." If I wait several hours I can login with the Firefox browser into my Hotmail/Outlook account successfully. This happens every singe time I try to login to the site after a period of time. Alternatively I can go to any other browser and login immediately with no issues.

Troubleshooting:

• Removed/Reinstalled Antivirus/Firewall Software (Did Not Resolve)
• Removed/Reinstalled Firefox with fresh instance (Did Not Resolve)
• Disabled Extensions (Did Not Resolve)
• Disabled Privacy Settings (Did Not Resolve)
• Cleared Cookies, History, Cache (Did Not Resolve)
• Cleared Forms (Did Not Resolve)
• Tried Private Window (Did Not Resolve)
• Tried Troubleshooting Mode (Did Not Resolve)

I don't want to have to switch to another browser for my browsing needs, but this has become a major issue for me. What else can we do to troubleshoot and resolve this issue?

Thank you in advance for your time.

Cheers, Jason

I admit, I don't read about updates so I don't know when Firefox did all these "enhancements"...but I'd love to know how to turn my mouse wheel BACK into a "scroll through the page" only function. I hate it auto opening links, I hate it scrolling through tabs. I suspect it of doing other "helpful" functions...and I can't even find the right words to do a search for this. The only applicable setting I found is "autoscroll"...which is turned off in my preferences...and which the browser STILL does.

All I want is for my wheel to scroll through the page...under my control. No auto-stuff. There's no setting for this in my mouse controls, as far as I've been able to determine, and it didn't used to do this. It must be in a Firefox update. Is this even possible any longer? Or am I, after decades with Firefox, going to have to change browsers? At this point, I've had far too many important operations disrupted and even fouled by this "helpful" change.

Pleeeease help?

I am FURIOUS with the latest update! I put my computer on "Sleep" for a couple of hours this morning, and when I cam back to it, the screen was locked up and I had to restart my computer. When I finally came online, everything had changed! I've had multiple Windows with lots of tabs running without any problems for a LONG time, until today! Now, EVERYTHING IS GONE!

I didn't save the code properly on my first attempt to save the verification code so I have to start over. How do I disable the first one? I'm on a Mac Book and a iPhone 16

Today is 11-12-2025. After the last update a few days ago, many of my websites would not load up on firefox and when try on Edge or Chrome, they would work perfectly. I did a recovery back to 10-31-2025 and everything worked fine. Now I am afraid to do another update until I know what is going on. What would you suggest? Thanks,

After having upgraded my W11 system to 25H2, I cannot install any extension. Installation terminates with "... something may be broken". I'm using FF 144.0,2. FF is used in more than one account alternatively.

On a second system, with less security measures, I have no problems.

How can I transfer open tabs from my old computer to my new one? Syncing is enabled, and the sync tabs checkbox is checked, but the tabs aren't syncing on the new device. I also couldn't find any separate function to load tabs.

having problem signing into yahoo.com it wont accept my password, keeps telling me to look in messages when they send new password but cant get into firefox because i dont have way to get in
