I-Firefox Community Forum

Hi!

I am getting messages that I am blocking ads for many of my internet requests. I had never received these before but all of a sudden I started to get them. I have tried a number of things but nothing works.

I am running Windows 11 and do not have any Ad blockers.

I wish to undo the changes to the sidebar introduced with release 136. I want a sidebar for bookmarks, but the Bookmark Sidebar per se, not the multi-functional Sidebar that has replaced it. The new version takes up unnecessary screen space even when I only select bookmarks. I have Firefox installed with Windows 11.

A strange bug seems to have reappeared in Firefox 135.0.1 on Windows 11...

If I'm playing a YouTube video in the browser, and then reload the tab, the last fraction of a second of audio from the video will play on loop. It doesn't stop until new audio is sent to the WDM audio device (from any application).

The same thing can happen while seeking through a video. When the video playback resumes from the seek point, the new audio clears the stuck audio loop from the previous segment.

While I appreciate the unintentional tribute to Max Headroom, it does get a bit annoying.

Has anyone else encountered this?

For the past few days when I use Firefox and Thunderbird my entire screen will randomly start to flicker, at times very quickly and rarely the entire screen goes black for second or two. This behavior immediately stops when I close the app. It does not happen with any other app. I've tried disabling hardware acceleration in Firefox and that didn't help. Both apps are on the latest version and I also updated my video driver. Tried removing the two add-ons I have. I'm on Windows 11 Firefox 136.0.

Using Firefox 136.0 and previous vers. Some web pages are displayed in portrait mode. (or seem to be) In Firefox these pages are??? not right. If I copy and paste url to MS Edge the page displays properly even although the presentation is still in portrait mode (or seems to be). i.e. the data displayed on the page does not go out to the edges of the screen but sits in the middle in portrait mode for example see: https://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/

Attached images show Firefox and MS Edge screen grabs and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page which displays correctly in Landscape mode (or seems to)

After downloaded the app I changed a lot of settings, including checking the box to "open previous windows and tabs" on start in settings, however next time I opened the browser it didn't open my previous tabs and when I went to check the setting the box was unchecked and it won't allow me to check it. Why did this happen and how can I fix it? Note: IIRC, I changed all my settings and then created a Mozilla account and that is the only possible connection to this issue that I can think of.

Hello, I am not able to connect to my mozilla account. I write correct my password, and a code is sent to my email. I write to code but always the system gives me the message "Invalid code" or "Something went wrong. Please close this tab and try again."

Could you help me please.

Thank you

Dear support person,

When streaming video games on multiple platforms i use a dock from a website called social stream Ninja. This opens a browser page that shows chats from 3 platforms, Twitch, Youtube and Kick. I have a dual PC setup, so i game on the first PC with the second PC running the actual stream through a capture card.

When i go into SteamVR, i add a desktop panel with that exact dock/webpage on firefox, but the page "pauses" and chat doesn't update anymore. I thought this was a focus issue, so i tried this plugin = Always active Window - Always Visible

Sadly FireFox still doesn't update the page, therefore stream chat doesn't show up, the page pauses. A sort of work-around is running the game in borderless window, but this is VR, and eats up quite the bit of performance, fullscreen is preferred. The borderless window works on Assetto Corsa VR, but on Dirt Rally 2 VR it doesn't, so I really need FireFox to update the page in the background.

I've been tearing my hair out trying to find a solution, the 'focus' plugin was my best idea.

Any chance you could help me?

Kind Regards,

Carlo

I want to downgrade to a previous version without having to create a new profile. I don't want the Firefox logo on the default new tab page, and I tried to change it in the about:config list but that didn't work even after a complete computer restart. It worked in the previous version. I do not want to create a new profile. My current one is just fine. How can I do that? Thank you!

I've been using the firefox pdf viewer for quite some time and it's worked quite well. Within the last few days though I've developed an issue.

When I open a pdf it opens correctly for just a brief second (standard text, white background, nothing unusual) and then switches to something like the attached image (black background/ text and such). I have not changed anything that I'm aware of, though I did just recently install a new firefox update (136.0 64-bit windows 11). I didn't notice any articles or comments about this particular issue here yet, so figured I'd ask for some help.

Anyone know how to resolve this? Or other things I should look into?

Thanks for your time, Derek

In the last 2 weeks you tube or yahoo on firefox either times out or drops about 30 minutes in but when I use you tube or yahoo on Google I don't have this problem. Is there a problem with an extension or security issue that would cause this? Did an update cause this? It's frustrating. It's been happening to my husband on his desktop also. It will tell us we're not connected but when I go the the router it shows connected. I have to exit out of the browser and reload and everything is fine for about 30 minutes and then I have to exit and reload which requires me to sign in again. Just wondering if an update caused this.

I've been a Firefox user for at least 10 years. I recently installed Firefox on a new desktop PC, and the Firefox Privacy Notice tab popped up. "No worries," I thought, and read it and made my cookies choice. I didn't find anything about a separate "submit" or "Close" gadget, so I simply closed the tab. Now, every time I leave the Home page or open a new tab, the Firefox Privacy Notice keeps popping up. Please advise me how to close it for good.

After using Mozilla / Firefox for at least 30 years everything I had saved, bookmarks, history, passwords, shortcuts, are all gone! I need them back ASAP. I have a Mozilla recovery key but cannot find in all your articles, where to enter it. Please explain to me where to enter the key and why after all these years everything I have accumulated is gone.
