When watching videos on youtube, I hold down the space bar to make it go at 2x speed, this makes the video and the audio de sync the more I hold the space bar, It's been happening for quite some time and I can't seem to find an answer as of why this happens or how to fix it.

I have to reload history, bookmarks, passwords each 3 - 4 days, when Firefox refreshes the software. It was not happening before, just in the last two moths. How can I fix it?

I have Bitdefender SecurePass Installed, enabled and populated but I can't put an icon for it on my toolbar or, apparently, actually activate it in any other way. Bitdefender suggests there is a bug in Firefox causing this. They suggested that setting Firefox to save history should fix it but it didn't. They also suggested that working in incognito mode might be the problem. I have tried turning off incognito mode and this still has not solved my problem.

When I originally set up SecurePass, it worked fine - the logo icon appeared on the toolbar and it activated when required. I then had a problem with getting multiple popups that purported to be warnings from Firefox about viruses and trojans. I eventually had to completely uninstall and then reinstall Firefox in order to get rid of the popups and now I have this problem with being unable to actually use Bitdefender SecurePass.

I recently purchased a new desktop due to the previous desktop malfunctioning a bit. The old hdd is still in operating condition and is now a slave in my new cpu. Where can I find the history/bookmarks on the old drive? Is there a filename that is relevant for the data?

Thanks

I'd like to start adding my customized settings to a user.js file. How can I figure out what the correct code is for each option under Tools|Settings in FF 140.12 ESR

I've reported literally EVERY SINGLE ARTICLE ABOUT HER in an attempt to maybe hint to the grand ol algorithm that I have NO interest in her life, marriage, or whatever else keeps getting beamed into my eye sockets. Nothing has worked. No dismissing, no reporting, NOTHING keeps me from seeing another article about her. I DON'T CARE WHAT SHE'S DOING STOP SHOWING ME ARTICLES!!! PLEASE!!

Firefox recently had an update, and now when I am uploading files, I can't double click to upload selected files. I have to first select the file, and then click the open button.

Before the latest Firefox update, I could simply double click on files to upload. This workflow was much faster.

If I go to about:config, and search for: widget.use-xdg-desktop-portal.file-picker, I can change the value from 0 to 2, and then I can upload files by double clicking. However, then Firefox forgets my last upload location, and always opens in the home folder.

If I set it back to 0, it remembers my last upload location, but I can't double click to open files.

My current Firefox version is 152.0.1. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

For the last 2-3 weeks, the browser has been freezing when opening new tabs. This doesn't happen all the time, but the same tabs can open correctly or the browser stops working when they are opened. The work stops for 10-20 seconds. The browser does not respond to clicks, but if you press the Win key, the window turns bright and "not responding" appears on top of the frame. I was trying to solve this problem on my own. I ran it in safe mode, disabled hardware acceleration, updated drivers for the integrated graphics and discrete graphics card, disabled all extensions, created a new profile, reinstalled the browser completely - none of this helped, the browser still freezes when opening new tabs. I also cleaned the download history, changed the proxy settings, and disabled Windows Defender. What else can I try to do to fix the browser?

I have been using Firefox for years. I am not tech savvy. A very tech savvy member of the family recommended firefox years ago (and now says we should use Brave or another).

Does anyone run Firefox? Why is there no contact centre/people? Why do other members have to answer questions? The reason I am losing total faith in Firefox is that it must made me update and restart and every open window I had (and the tabs on each window) have been lost. I cannot retrieve them, which I have always been able to do via "Restore previous sessions". There was so much important information on those windows and tabs from way back - too far to shift through the history. Can anyone give me one good reason to stay with Firefox? Thankfully, there are many browsers to now use. Firefox has perhaps just become a habit and one I should have changed a long time ago. Thank you.

Dear Firefox, I am a new user, so I must apologize in advance for how naive I may be. I had attempted to search for my answer online, but did not find it.

I was previously on Chrome, and enjoy the tab interface there. As I move to Firefox, I notice that instead of having all my tabs listed at once, after some point I instead am met with "Scroll forwards" and "Scroll backwards" options.

I understand that this may look cleaner and less cluttered to some, but I personally dislike this, as I took comfort in the organized chaos of my many tabs - I was able to navigate through with ease, a single click to open the tab I desired rather than scrolling through my many tabs, which I feel may become incredibly annoying and inconvenient for me.

Is there any way to fix this?

I was switching computers and created a backup file. The type was html oddly. I tried to restore this backup on two different computers and both times it fails during the restore process without presenting a useful error message.

I can only guess that the file is corrupt, but it is only a guess since the error message is useless. It also seems strange that the backup didn't produce any errors (manual backup). Any suggestions?

No audio in browser, audio works fine in other browsers, my headphones work fine, my button is not muted. I had to switch to Chrome because of this issue. Tried looking for all possible audio settings but nothing fixes the problem. Everything is like it is suppose to be. Even tried reinstaling mozila firefox - it didn't help. Thanks for help. Saša

Firefox decided to not play any sound on my laptop, Spotify works on itself, if I open it in Firefox it doesn't. Same with YouTube and everything else. I use Artix Linux, I double-booted with Windows and it works on it, just not on Artix for some reason. I have tried to allow acces to it, even redownloaded everything, nothing worked. It's not the biggest problem, since there are subtitles, but it would be good if it worked.
