Hi, Firefox wont start up under W7 desktop.

Installed older version but keep getting error message "Firefox is already running, but not responding'. The old Firefox process must be closed to open a new window."

Processes Firefox.ex *32 appear in taskmanager after attempt to start Firefox. Killing these processes and then trying to start up Firefox results again in this message and having the processes Firefox.ex *32 appear in taskmanager again.

What else to check or to do?

Bye Arwin

Hello. I have just upgraded to nebula 128.2.3 When I hit delete on a message all inbox contents becomes invisible until I restart thunderbird. They then are visible but nothing has been deleted. If I open a sub-folder all other folders become invisible until I restart.

Thanks

Every day Firefox crashes on me and trying to reopen it will just give me an error message. I am unable to use firefox again until I uninstall and reinstall it. I want Firefox to be my default browser but this has been an ongoing issue for a long time and it's pretty unacceptable. It was an issue on my old iMac and I just got a brand new iMac and thought this would solve the problem, but the problem persists. PLEASE fix this.

As per the title, I can play a YouTube LiveStream this was the one I was viewing today PostOffice Inquiry https://www.youtube.com/@postofficehorizonitinquiry947 and SkyNews which play fine for about 20 seconds then fail with an error message that "Something went wrong, please try again latter". Refreshing the YouTube page the Livestream then plays another 20 seconds of the livestream then fails again with the same error message.

Other non LiveStream YouTube videos play fine

I have disabled all extensions, tried firefox troubleshooting mode, tried opening in a private window, tried logged in and out of YouTube account. The same thing happens (stream plays then ends after 20 seconds).

The same YouTube Livestram URLs work fine in Chrome Browser

system: Linux 24.10 Beta Firefox Snap version 130..0.1

I'm having trouble with third party verification through my banking app. this only occurs with firefox I have checked with the bank. there is no problem on there end and no problem from the government website seeking verification. I must always clear cache and reopen for it to work. Is there a better solution?

received this popup message

firefox.exe stating Entry Point Not Found - the procedure entry point ?SetGeckoChild@mozilla@@YAXPEBD@Z could not be located in the dynamic link in library C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe.

Do I need to uninstall and reinstall Firefox?

I just updated to version 131.0 and now my menu buttons in the top left no longer work. When I say Menu buttons I'm referring to the Menu Bar which includes File,Edit,View,History,Bookmarks,Tools,Help. All the buttons are dead and if I hover my cursor over "File" it says "List all tabs". If you look real close at attached screen shot you can see that there is a little square sitting over the word "File".

Thank you

Every time I try to sign in into my FF account in the browser it fails to connect to sync.

I get to the sign-in stage, it already knows my email so I'm prompted to put in my password then it sends me an email with code which I put in then I am prompted to put in my 2FA. I get signed in on a separate Mozilla accounts page but when I click on the Account icon in the top right in my browser and sync starts it immediately fails and says "Account Disconnected". I noticed that this started happening after I updated my email/updated Firefox to 131.0 (64-bit) Windows. Not sure if any of it is related.

I have tried various things like:

1. Logging in and out (multiple times) 2. Refreshing Firefox 3. Checking that I am not always using Privacy Mode (I was not) 4. Changing Profiles, changing default profiles 5. Reinstalling Firefox

Nothing solves the problem. I am now unable to see any of my bookmarks or anything from my profile because sync never works. I want to add that this is NOT a problem on Android. The issue happens only on my desktop FF installation.

Recently I installed firefox again after install new windows. But I lost my old sync details. How can I get my old sync details. I would like to get backup before 2 days ago. I want my old backup.

Hello, I am new using Firefox on my desktop and can't figure out why I am having trouble getting my Realteck mic to work while in online meetings. The video function is fine. I can't change the settings in the online meeting software and get a message to use "Settings" in the browser. What am I doing wrong. TIA

Hello,

I am using Firefox with Linux. Any time I open YouTube, I need to log in with my gmail accout, requiring me to authentify my identity with my phome. I always use the same laptop. Is there a way to avoid this annoying thing so the laptop opens YouTube straightaway please? Seems like my Firefox account is not helping. The needing to continuosly log in recalls also for anything else (gmail, Netflix...). Using Chrome with Windows was better in that way.

Thanks in advance. Looking forward to hearing from you

I've installed the lastest version of Firefox in a macOS, Ventura, virtual machine from Anka (although other VMs also exhibit the problem). Firefox is unusable. It mostly just beach balls. If I type in a url, it never attempts to connect. I do not have this problem with other browsers. Is this a known issue?

Starting about a year ago (2023) I noticed when using google search, firefox would crash. Recently it's started crashing any time I try to load google maps. I'm using the updated desktop version (mac) and I don't know if this is a google or firefox issue but it's bad enough I'm about to get an entirely new browser.

Firefox windows desktop 130.0.1 (Windows 10 all up to date)

I moderate a listserv list and cannot login. I enter my credentials, do the not a robot thing, <rtn> and then it circles around and I'm at the login screen.

I use Edge and it works fine.

Ideas anyone?

This is not the first site I have had a login problem on.

Thanks.

I'm curious about the current state of Web Speech API. This is a W3C specification that was implemented in both Firefox and Chrome and includes Automatic Speech Recognition.

There is a demo page at https://mdn.github.io/dom-examples/web-speech-api/speech-color-changer/

To use this in Firefox, I have to change two settings in about:config to True: media.webspeech.recognition.enable media.webspeech.recognition.force_enable

There used to be a setting that could be used to set a specific endpoint for the actual STT processing, but that doesn't show up in my list of settings anymore. I guess I could add it, but have no idea if it would be respected by the browser or what the endpoint should look like. Anyway, whatever endpoint Firefox is currently using does not seem to be working anymore, so I just get an "Error occurred in recognition: network" error.

In Chrome it works, but most likely is sending my raw audio to Google Cloud STT to do the actual transcribing. I'd like to be able to control the endpoint so I can use a local service connected to VOSK or Whisper or some other locally hosted STT engine.

I'm thinking about implementing something using WebRTC, but if anyone is working along similar lines, I'd like to join that project rather than creating my own.

Is anyone working on this?

Amazon prime videos will not play in HD and Steam videos on store pages no longer work.

Works 100% fine in both Edge and Chrome. Cmon, Mozilla. Whats with the video issues. Always something.

Reoccurance of an issue first reported in 2023 (2 threads, both archived (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1429143; https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1429298). I am using AdBlocker Ultimate, but Youtube was added to the white list. Any further suggestions, or do I need to remove the AdBlocker Ultimate extension?
