if anything i can provide to help troubleshoot, pls tell me.

I am using Firefox 128.0 on Fedora 40. Whenever i am playing a youtube video its saying "An error occurred. Please try again later. (Playback ID: YfAmDqxb_Y3iWVfB) Learn More" I have no issue with ad blocking add-ons because i have Youtube Premium, so hopefully that's not an issue. I have tried few solutions from the forum , which were :

1. Unchecking "Use hardware acceleration"  Under Performance tab in Firefox
2. Using firefox safe mode
3. Refreshing Firefox
4. Deleting my cache/history
5. Enabling "Widevine Content Decryption Module provided by Google Inc." in my addons

But still i am having the same issue, its been 2 days, I am unable to find an appropriate solution to this. Kindly help me regarding this.

I am trying to understand how password less authentication with a FIDO2 security token works in Firefox over BLE transport.

Firefox uses authenticator-rs as Webauthn library which only supports USB-HID transport.

I am able to use a BLE security token to login to my google account however. How does that work if Firefox does not support that transport protocol?

Any help or direction to documentation on this topic is appreciated. So far I was not able to find an explanation for this online.

Does somebody know how to disable firefox to start in the last used workspace? I use Firefox under Linux in a Window Manager and defined a rule that should put firefox in a specific workspace but in this case firefox remembers its last used workspace and does not 'obey' the set rule...

I use my laptop with a connected AOC ultrawide monitor as primary screen and I don’t mirror laptop screen. My system is running KDE NEON, everything updated. I have an issue when watching video in Firefox. As long as I’m watching a video on a website it works fine, but when I change the video to fullscreen the monitor just show a black screen without turning off. I tried to activate the laptop screen and it show the video I’m running in fullscreen, which should run on external monitor. So my question is, why does Firefox move the fullscreen video to the laptop screen when I don´t mirror the laptop screen to the primary screen? Hope someone can help me out.

when i open a file, it shows as: file:///home/jian/Downloads/v12-0001-Remove-dependence-on-integer-wrapping.patch

I only need copy "/home/jian/Downloads/v12-0001-Remove-dependence-on-integer-wrapping.patch" is there a simple way to when the position is in address bar, I only copy the absolute filename.

i need copy filename many times. hope there is a simple way.

Pages are loading very slowly and jumping around a lot. With each FFox update and Linux update, the behavior is getting worse and the browser and desktop sometimes lock up on some sites.

I'm wondering if there's a setting that prevents web sites from loading 'by parts', or that continue loading well after they seemed to stop. A setting that is more 'static'?

Is there a setting that says "computer" and stops web sites acting like my browser is a cell phone or a TV?

Is there a way to stop sites from 'pushing'?

The Internet is being split into three: networked television, cell phones, and computers. They apparently cannot coexist and I'm somewhat amazed that anyone would think that they could coexist.

Any advice will be appreciated --Mark.

How can I select an elliptic curves ? I mean, a P-256 of a P-385. Is there a turnaround on linux Ubuntu OpenSSL to impose an elliptic curve in the communication with the servers without to let the choice to the server priority ?

Thanks

Hello everyone, I am experiencing this issue since - I suppose - Firefox Sync existed. My main machine has - like any other machine I own - Firefox always up to date and a set of plugins like No-Script, an ad-blocker, a theme, GUI icon disposition and whatnot. When I install Firefox on a new device or machine and then proceed to sync them, I lost the theme across all my synced devices, ALL of the registered sites I have trained No-Script and the adblocker not to block and my GUI settings. In short every new machine with a fresh install and sync of Firefox will wipe and overwrite to its defaults any synced custom configuration I have. Is there a solution for this?

Thank you.

Entering the IP "https://172.16.0.1/" on my firefox browser's address bar brings me to google searching for the text. This is despite this IP being responsive on chrome. What's going on here? How to I tell firefox to connect to this IP instead of searching for it?

If I click on a bookmark before my internet connection is established, I get page not found. Natural.

But if the connection establishes while on the error notice, the same bookmark gets the same unfound page. Refresh doesn't refresh. I have to go to another site or burn and start all over.

Same on Samsung Galaxy A34 and New Linux HP notebook.

After updating my packages on Arch Linux, Firefox keeps crashing. I have tried almost everything from installing different versions, rolling back my Nvidia drivers, even reinstalling packages that I'd removed earlier that day. Nothing works apart from it running on X11.

Logs indicate that it's some problem with Wayland – something along the lines of a protocol error with wp_linux_drm_syncobj_surface_v1#61: error 5: No Release point provided. I have searched around for people with similar problems; although there are some others that are having some problems with Wayland and Firefox, this particular problem does not seem to be documented anywhere.

Here is a snippet from the crash report that may be useful: GraphicsCriticalError: [1][GFX1-]: Wayland protocol error: wp_linux_drm_syncobj_surface_v1#61: error 5: No Release point provided AdapterDriverVendor: nvidia/unknown AdapterDriverVersion: 555.58.2.0 ContentSandboxLevel: 4 IsWayland: 1

This happened on all Firefox versions I could try: official pacman release, flatpak, developer version, the 129 beta.

Has anybody else run into this or got ideas how to fix? Thanks in advance for your help!
