I-Firefox Community Forum

Several years ago (5+) I used some obscure Firefox settings to enable some sounds for the right click "Context menu" appearing and selecting an option for said context menu. These sounds also apply to the menu bar drop-downs at the top of the browser window (Disabled by default.) I enabled these because, at the time, Firefox stopped using the native windows rendering for the context menu and menu bar and thus stopped triggering the built in windows sound API calls. Later updates however have made this a bit of an issue as Firefox plays these sounds at full volume now while I have the windows sound effects reduced in volume compared to overall system volume. These are not native windows 7/10/11 sound effects I am using and are quite harsh and slightly painful at full volume, and while reducing the volume of Firefox itself in the windows 10 sound mixer is effective on them, that simply isn't a solution due to the volume of media content in Firefox (eg: YouTube) being affected as well. I have since tried to find again the guide/article I used to enable these sounds, and manually find the value in About:Config where I believe these changes originate (I could be wrong on this), both to 0 success.

Does anyone know what obscure changes I need to make to remove these sounds?

I deleted my browser and reinstalled to try and help with some lag issues. Now every time I turn the computer on, this message displays-before I have clicked a link to open FF. What is this trying to tell me exactly?

I have a number in a circle showing up on the Firefox icon on my taskbar. For a while it was a number 1, then that went away. Now I have a number 5 in a circle on the icon.

Ok I have been having an issue where someone is trying to access my computer via remote acess and it happen only when im about to click on play on youtube.

I have changed my primary password but when I try and sync I am told to reconnect my account by signing in. My password is then rejected multiple times, but the same password works on my Iphone. Any thoughts please?

Having an issue playing purchased movies from YouTube that have played before for a year on a new HP Envy Laptop. Google/YouTube support had me try to play the movies in Chrome (I use Firefox always) and they played. Google wouldn't provide any further assistance. This is laptop has Firefox as the Default Browser. I believe same settings as my previous laptop, also HP.

Firefox is up to date as well. Any ideas?

I was on Talbots.com and tried to go to the shopping cart and then to checkout. I keep getting this message:

I do not know how to make sure that I am not blocking them from loading. Please help!

Firefox 134.0.2

Hi!

I was shocked when I recently visited a website of a company that offers IDEs. I've downloaded one of the IDEs a couple of weeks ago and now that I've came back to the website looking for plugins, the website still "knew" which version of the IDE I had downloaded because it gave me warnings about plugins not compatible with my IDE version. Now: My privacy settings in Firefox are "strict", the option "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed" is checked and I've closed Firefox several times in the meantime. Still, the website has information about my identity.

I would have expected that with these settings something like what I've described wouldn't happen. I must say, I'm quite disappointed. Is there anything else that I can do within Firefox to enhance my privacy?

Hi there! Ever since I believe two days ago, playing videos in the Firefox browser have been giving me issues. Videos often end up looking scrambled/glitchy. It starts off mostly in green but sometimes turns multicolored, and the tab the video is in starts lagging or freezing. At first I thought it was a YouTube issue, but it's happening on other websites as well, even for animated gifs. I tested some videos in Edge, and so far I haven't had any glitchiness there yet.

I currently have Windows 11, and Firefox is up-to-date. I've attached screenshots from three different websites. Happy to provide other info if needed!

Hi. Just recently firefox, which has been faultless for a long time, is now occasionally giving me "hmm, cannot find this site" messages for Google and BBC. Duckduckgo and chrome are operating normally.

What is the cause of this aberation?

I have tried everything I can think of or find on the internet about changing fonts on FireFox. My bookmarks and titles are very large and I can't get them down at all. I've tried all the suggested way on the internet by changes the fonts in settings/General but it doesn't change the font in Bookmarks. Help, I'm loosing a lot of real estate on my browser

For the last several days I've been having a problem with general slowness when accessing various bookmarks and/or searching in the address bar. I've disabled various extensions which I really didn't us a lot and the cache is kept clean. It also seems to using a lot of memory. Task manager was showing approx 750mb. I don't know if this amount is typical or not. I've tried a safe boot and it really didn't change anything. I would also mention that I'm not having these issues in either Chrome or Edge. I tried doing reinstall-not a clean one, but it really change anything. Any suggestions on how to proceed? Thanks

updated and uBlock off, when i click and drag down, I can't go below the taskbar like I can on my phone (and used to be able to on my pc. Also, no matter what deviations of directing my downloads, whether I specify target or 'always prompt' ALL downloads go to Documents or Temp files. Then I have to cut and paste correct location. Reported THIS several times to no resolution. Tired of backing up and reinstalling FF over and over! Thanks

Running MAC Ventura 13.7.3 See Attached. All language choices are set to US English, unless there is a double secret location. It's been going on for months, over various versions of Firefox and ventura. They usually only come up when I first load Firefox, and they acn come up on different pages. How do I stop this annoyance? I've cleared cookies and that did no good Thanks

I'm looking to change all the fonts on my Firefox webpages and menus to Lexend. How would I do this? I've changed the majority of it in Settings > General > Language and Appearance > Fonts, but I'm looking to change the font in my search bar, on my tabs, and other menus like the Extensions popup.

It would be really helpful if all these settings were in once place, as well!
