When I navigate to youtube and try to watch a video, the player does not load. It just shows white in the space where the player should be. No video, no audio, no nothing. No matter what video I click, the same thing happens. The only workaround I have found is that if I go to a page with an embedded youtube video, and click the "watch on youtube" link that appears in it, it will load a youtube page that can play videos normally. I can use that page to navigate youtube and it will operate normally. However if I type in youtube.com or get to the site some other way, the issue happens where it is only white space. It is very frustrating.

The Context: I'm setting up a new Linux PC (Mint OS). I logged into Yahoo Mail using Firefox and clicked on the browser notification in the corner that said something like "Make Yahoo the default for mail links".

The Problem: When I click Mailto links in Firefox it takes me to a broken Yahoo Mail page. The page says "Your mail is temporarily unavailable" when that is not the case - Yahoo Mail works when I manually browse it.

Further details: I confirm that the "Applications" section of Firefox settings shows Yahoo mail as the default for mailto links. And specifically, the application details specify that the url used is: https://mail.yahoo.com/mrd/mail/any/compose?src=mailto&url=%s

When you rebranded the Firefox accounts to Mozilla accounts (or maybe during the close of relay??) I accidentally created a second account. How can I merge my accounts or just the account data?

I am auditing my accounts and my MFA codes so that is why I am now finally dealing with this.

Is there any process I can go through to take browsing history and bookmarks from one of my accounts and merge them into another one?

I could even create a new Firefox profile so that it's possible to export this data to import into the other profile, then sync.

If I manually import data, does it overwrite the old data or will they merge together?

Let me know what information you need from me.

Thank you

OS: Xubuntu 24.04.1 Firefox: All version for quite a long time up through version 135.

In general I have no problem with direct URLs loaded into Firefox, whether from local links or from remote sites.

However, sometimes, possibly as a result of an embedded link in an email, or from a site that pops-up a new instance of the default browser (i.e., Firefox), the URL is mangled with a local filesystem path prepended to the proper URL. The path seems to be one that Firefox accessed in the recent past. For example, a path such as: /usr/local/bin

When the browser starts up, The URL field will show: /usr/local/binhttps://.........

I then have to delete the leading path component before I can access the URL. I'd include a test case if I could find something repeatable that I could post here, but at the moment I don't have one.

Any ideas why this is happening and any suggestions for a way to stop it.

Thanks.

Using latest version of Firefox for PC (Version 135.0 (64-bit)). As of a few months ago, I can no longer delete suggested webpages from the address bar drop down. Per the instructions, I should be able to right click on an item and select: "Remove From Toolbar" but that option is greyed out. I have looked through the Address Bar settings and can't find a setting that affects it. Am I doing anything wrong? This problem is exactly the same on both my Windows 10 PC and my Windows 11 laptop. Both started with this issue 2 or 3 months ago.

I'm on a page I want to save to bookmarks. I double click the star and select the bookmark list, then save - but the page is not showing on the list.

Hello,

I inadvertently used the option Block Element to get rid of a horrible recurring spam post on FB. I thought I was just blocking that post but what it ended up blocking the options on my whole Facebook program, so now I can't edit/undo anything on my FB page. I know it's within Firefox as it doesn't happen on the other browsers when I am using FB.

I tried to look it up but can't find anything to help me. I was hoping I could end up talking to a real person as I know it can get confusing but perhaps you can give me step by step instructions?

I need to know how to UNDO blocking an element. I've attached an image but I'm not sure if it fully explains what I'm dealing with.

Thanks, Ellen Claxton
