I-Firefox Community Forum

I am unable to access a large number of sites, including TV replays, as they say I have ad blockers on. I have checked how to remove them but they are not there. I use Duck duck go - is that the problem? Someone suggested using Edge but I don't want to. I tried briefly but it still didn't work and then I had to struggle to remove Edge.

Having this issue with Youtube since a few days ago, on version 115.0.2 and 115.0.3, and only for videos encoded in AVC/H264. VP9 and AV1 encoded videos have no trouble buffering, only H264 is affected. Happens with or without adblocker, and on different OS. Cookies cleared, no dice.

Video would load the first 20-40 seconds, then does not buffer at all subsequently once it reaches the end of that portion. I have to skip a few seconds forward for it to load the next 20-40 secs, then it would get stuck again.

I can get around this issue by either lowering resolution to 480p (which looks terribly unwatchable), or turn VP9 streams back on (which does not work correctly on my setup, there's a driver bug that hasn't been fixed).

The sure way, and strange thing, is that AVC/H264 videos load and buffer with absolutely no issue when I'm logged out of my account. Also, works with no issue in Chromium, even while logged in.

Anyone facing this or similar issue recently too? Is it still ongoing for you?

Hi ,

I tried to activate my firefox account on my new laptop. I also tried to add this new computer to firefox sync. The system shows me, that I am logged in with both my old and new computer After entering the password I am told that firefox account will sent me an e-mail to verify the account. I am told that I will receive a code at my e-mail address. The stored e-mail address is correct. I am told that the e-mail has been sent to my e-mail address. I have tried to receive an e-mail from my old computer as well. Whatever I do even after I added accounts@firefox.com into my contacts. I still don´t receive any e-mails with verification codes or links to verify my e-mail address. I really don´t know what else to try. I did not find any support adresses for firefox in europe. Please can anybody help.

I have just had a new update 115.0.3 and again it has blocked most of the internet sites (all working yesterday no problems) due to secure connection failed.

Error code: SSL_ERROR_NO_CYPHER_OVERLAP

This is about the 3rd / 4th time it has happened this year alone.

Are you not able to produce an update without blocking over 80% of internet sites when updated?

The strangest thing is other browsers are able to connect to all of the sites.

I'm getting the message Device simulation changes require a reload to fully apply. Automatic reloads are disabled by default to avoid losing any changes in DevTools. You can enable reloading via the Settings menu.

I've looked through all the settings, searched for reload and still found no way to enable this. Googling it brings up answers from years ago that are clearly out of date. Where can I currently find this setting?

Hello,

I've been facing this problem while i try to download something from internet. I am trying to set firefox to ask me every time where to download the file. But firefox automatically downloads it on desktop and opens the file. I know i'm supposed to select "Always ask you where to save files" but I see no radio button beside the option "Save files to". I've attached a screenshot of my options menu. Is there any solution? My firefox is updated to latest version (115.0.3 64 bit)

Best Wishes!

I have a really niche case which there's probably no solution for but I want to ask just in case:

I'm happy with the behaviour of Firefox opening PDFs as it does currently except in one case: eBay shipping labels. When I buy a shipping label on eBay it presents two buttons: one is open and one is download. When I click download it both downloads and opens in a new tab. I can disable Firefox opening PDFs to stop that but then that affects my experience every time I try to open a PDF everywhere else.

Is there some way that I can stop Firefox from opening PDFs but only when they're opened from links that look like this? https://www.ebay.co.uk/ship/single/api/label-service/label/4049d9b7-5563-47e9-b181-6d0f50a6101e/download?printable=true&pageFormat=RAW&useImageFormat=false&attachment=true&consumer=LABELUI_SINGLE

Earlier today (well, it's yesterday now) Firefox was updated to 116 and since then it won't download any images or other files from anywhere. I've set a default download directory and when I click "Save image as...", that image should appear in the preset directory but it doesn't. I have two extensions for downloading images and they work just fine, only the default function of firefox doesn't work. Here's a short video showing the problem:

I tried downgrading Firefox to 115.0.3 but that didn't fix the problem and I'm out of ideas how to fix it. I'm 100% sure it's a firefox problem bc I tried saving images with Opera and Chromium and there was not a single problem with that task in either of these browsers.

In settings when I am in security I have Firefox as my default search engine. When I go into the search tab it tells me Bing is. There is a drop down box to change it but Firefox is not an option. Help I am also unable to get into my xfinity email so please respond to, [removed email from public] Thx

the download complete sound is too damn loud, is there a way to disable the alert? i use my computer connected to my tv and so far the only way i have found is to mute the system volume. i am looking for a setting in firefox to change.

Firefox autoprints Microsoft Word and Excel documents despite setting otherwise.

about:config print.always_print_silent is now set to false. (was somehow set to true). After I set to false and reboot, same behavior occurs. I verified that same behavior does not occur in other browser.

Just updated (7 August). Now:

Everything (and I mean everything) is going at Tortoise speed Laptop crashed Laptop rebooted - blanked screen Rebooted, wait 5 minutes for task bar population Select icon, wait to open Give up, try another

Click on a filename - wait 30 seconds - nothing happens, check Task Manager, wait 1/2 minute for that to open Open Explorer - "Not responding" , go to anything else "Not responding" "Save" - "Not responding"

I daren't backup as it would take a week at this rate

Can you tell me how to reverse please please please. It was all good until yesterday

I've been using Firefox for a long time, but suddenly today i can no longer hear the videos on JW.org I want to play? the volume is 'up' but sometimes the picture disappears\ I checked the same page on Safari and it worked fine, but I cannot get Firefox to play the audio files or video? How can I fix please?

Hi Folks. My web browser shows "United Kingdom " near bottom left hand corner. I live in Christchurch South Island of New Zealand. My searches seem to direct me to UK sites ? I recently upgraded fire fox. How do I change this setting. back to NZ or is there some other problem Thanks Peter Royle

Hello there, I'm getting following warnings when I set report-to directive.

Content-Security-Policy: Couldn’t process unknown directive ‘report-to’ Content-Security-Policy: This site (http://puvipavan.local) has a Report-Only policy without a report URI. CSP will not block and cannot report violations of this policy.

Am I missing something? I'm using the latest version of Firefox as of July-31-2023(115.0.3 (64-bit))

I have a question about the same topic of this older thread here -

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1257189

...when you do some of the solutions to this problem the copy-and-paste from either the vertical column or in Bookmarks manager it will copy the whole URL code as the title of the link and not what you renamed that link or its default name from its creator.

Is there a way to copy-and-paste the bookmarks WITH the already-created link names attached from the previous Firefox / Waterfox browser?

I recently updated browser and now I have a tab that I can't get rid of, I think it's the sync set up tab because it wants me to sync all my devices with firefox. It currently sits at 33% wanting me to upload firefox on my devices. I like firefox I've been using it as default browser on my computer since the beginning and with that being said I just want to keep things the way they are, I don't want to sync everything. To be honest I have loaded firefox on my iPhone a while back and never really used it as I'm accustom to Safari on the iPhone. I'm old school and old and like things the way they are lol.

I keep landing on this page on a loop after I have used my Gmail account to sign in. Somehow it keeps looping. I select "Continue with Gmail" and then choose my already signed-in Google account. But it takes me to the same page I started with (attached below). What am I missing here?
