I-Firefox Isithangami Sokwesekwa

I have been looking at using MEGA as an alternative platform for cloud storage & sharing files. MEGA also offer a browser extension for Firefox which is available here: https://mega.nz/extensions

What I wanted to know is if this extension is available to download from Firefox Add-ons, if it is not can anyone tell me if it is safe to install from mega.nz

I would much sooner install it from Firefox Add-ons if possible.

Many thanks for listening and for any advice that anyone can offer.

Instead of downloading files to the default downloads folder mozilla just keeps putting them in the temp folder I tried switching the default location after I switched it to always ask me first but it didn't work Then I tried using administrator, disabling two extensions that I have which are privacy badger and adblock plus and that didn't work either Finally I ran safe mode and tried it there, that didn't work either. It's making me lose my mind

I attempt to display the AOL Mail login screen (https://my.screenname.aol.com/) but I receive

"Http/1.1 Service Unavailable" in an otherwise blank screen instead.

This occurs in Firefox...this does not occur in IE (11.0.9600)...this does not occur in Google Chrome.

I am taking on-line language learning at Babbel.com. They need access to my microphone to hear my pronunciation practice. How do I allow access to my microphone for them?

I took a Netflix account today, but I get a error when clicking on play. On their site it gives optoins on what can be causing this and the only thing I didn't do yet, is update the Widevine Content Decryption Module. But when I got to the plug-in, right-mouse click on Widevine Content Decryption Module and the choose 'find updates', nothing happens at all. There's also no message that the last update may already be installed. Hopefully you can help. In case this helps, the Nexflix error code is: Foutcode: F7701-1003

For some reason, my bookmarks toolbar simply disappeared. I've tried rebooting, turning the bookmarks toolbar on and off, and even reinstalling firefox to no avail. Please help.

I am running Ubuntu 15.10 on a 12 year olf DELL laptop and use Firefox 61. With the latest update or if I install Firefox 64 it stops working with the error message /home/smoehler/firefox/firefox: error while loading shared libraries: libatomic.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Can I fix this and if so, how?

Trying to login to palabrapublications.com. Firefox continues to interrupt with 'website not secure' and impedes my ability to login even though I've read the message; then I have to re-enter my login information; then Firefox does it again; and we keep going around in a circle and you ARE PREVENTING ME FROM LOGGING INTO PALABRA .... I UNDERSTAND it's not https but I need to login so I can deal with the password issue later.....OK???????

I saw something new in YouTube today. When I tried to watch a file (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJVdiGpnH_s) the only resolution I could get was 360p. A video option labeled "Missing options?" brought up a YouTube help page (screenshot attached).

Why is Linux left out of this capability? It can't be because those formats are unsupportable in Linux; Chrome supports them for all of their browsers, including Linux. Why does Firefox discriminate against Linux users?

But it can in other browsers. Also other video platform such as full30 works just fine. The biggest killing blow for me that if I put video id into this line https://www.youtube.com/embed/(video ID)?wmode=direct&hd=1 it can go into fullscreen like it could the day before. Whats going on? :( I updated my video driver, I updated flash player (after uninstalling it). And everything was just fine last night.

I have windows 7 32bit with Firefox v61.01 32 bit. The latest update removed the java plugin so I uninstalled Java and reinstalled. It works fine on Internet Explorer 11 but the plugin will not install on Firefox. Yes I've checked the Add-ons Manager. Yes I did close Firefox before installing and yes I've restarted Firefox. I've also installed a plugin that automatically adds websites to the allowed list on Java. So any solutions on hot to get Java plugin to install on Firefox? We have a proprietary program that requires a Java enabled browser that is not Chrome or Internet Explorer. So any suggestions?

I have checked if chrome has this same issue, which it doesnt, but I'm not about to start using chrome because of that. Still, I'd like to be able to use twitch as intended.

I'm using Firefox Quantum 61.0.1 64bit

edit: forgot to mention i have BTTV installed, and after this started happening have also installed frankerfacez

This has never happened to me before but today when watching some videos the player size changes leaving a lot of white space on the sides of the video. It seems to be that videos that would generally have black bars on the side are now showing up in a smaller video player but this is not the case with other browsers. For some reason I am unable to post screenshots. Any help is appreciated.

It does not seem related to what I do with Firefox, it crashes also while I'm not using Firefox or even the PC, sometimes the crash report windows appears (and I send the report) sometimes not. It is really impossible to use the program with such problems.

In requesting advise and assistance regarding my Mozilla Firefox YouTube issues I firstly wish to thank everyone who has contributed to my previous cries for help and for all those volunteers contributing to this democratic, corner of the web. Aged 71 my Firefox and its add-ons, are extremely important to my daily life on the web. I thank you all in advance for having helped my journey in this amazing ‘place of minds’. Using a NUC 5I7 with Windows 10 (64bit) with fully updated Firefox I have been prevented from using YouTube on that preferred default browser. Disabling all of my installed add-ons, the YouTube service resumed. It was obvious the absolutely marvelous ‘YouTube enhancement’ add-on and the two ad-blockers were an issue, which up until I’d done a better than average, routine malware virus and junk file clean out (revo uninstaller pro), had not been an issue. Earlier, what I believed was unrelated at the time, I had been prompted to download and install a new version of VLC which I dutifully performed. Unfortunately the new version of VLC did not appear to work on any of my AV files so I used the revo uninstaller to remove all traces of that update before reinstalling my original version of the program. Having reestablished my VLC was back to 100% I decided to do a routine check, cleaning out any other junk that may have cluttered my system. It was then that a popup window advised I download and install a newer version of Mozilla Firefox, just before clicking on the install, I remembered this was a repeat of a previous ‘download and install’ I’d done, days before and a quick search found that version of Firefox in my download folder. Unsure of what might happen I did a backup of the currently installed Firefox settings before clicking install. I now believe these events regarding the VLC and Firefox installations may well have been linked, however I am not sure how and what to do now. I want to enjoy my advert free browsing and the excellent YouTube enhancements with my dark screen Firefox but somewhere along the line my defenses have been breached likely by my own brash stupidity. Has anyone encountered such an intrusion and how do I get back to my original, ‘personally customized Firefox browser’? PS: I note a growing number of others with similar problem. Please see attach screen shots,

Firefox won't play the wav files indicated in this page, but other browsers do. Please see the comments in the file for further info.

Prior to the newer Firefox platform when you selected a new tab there were approx 4 rows of previously visited sites displayed. Allowing for more than 16 possible selections.

The new platform only allows a maximum of 2 rows (16 selections total). I would like to be able to customize this section up to 4-5 rows. Is there a hack available that will allow me to increase the number of rows?

Would the option to be able to display more than 2 rows be entertained by the development community?

Thanks,

1. How do I TURN OFF 'animations' to speed up my browsing?

2. I still have no way to stop gmail, from 'auto filling' in my gmail address, as I log out, forcing me everytime to DELete it manually. I did try the fix a prior contributor to this site advised, NO change.

3. I need to find a better browser. I have a old slow laptop. Built in 11/11, is a Acer Aspire. 1.4 speed. Even lots of

   things disabled and running about no special apps, she's slow.

bear in mind, the apt. bldg. provides the internet/wifi in the rent. They call it 'hi speed' it's more like slow/middle speed. And many neighbors run 4-5 devices of a 140 unit bldg. I run just this one laptop no other devices at all.

Recently been to the Microsoft store for some things. At the store my Acer runs VERY fast so it's not only my laptop but this bldg. Having said THAT, I speak often to the neighbors and theirs run FAST. nice and fast.

So if I had a NEW Asus ssd i7 I am certain I'd run fast. Meantime, at nights I often get thrown offline or can't hardly at all use my yahoo mail...just buffers.

WHAT IS A GOOD BROWSER TO USE NOT FIREFOX? Thanks

Whenever I try and play videos on Facebook, my university website or any other website I could think of the video will not play. Sometimes there is a "no video with supported format and mime type found" error. I have reinstalled, started in safe mode, deleted all cache and cookies and nothing has worked. I am running Ubuntu 18.04.1 and Firefox 61.0.1

My homepage, tab preferences, and NewTabPage, reset to the default settings every time I restart the browser. About:Config resets too. I have been using Firefox since before most of you were born. As usual, switching to Opera until you get this figured out.
