I switched to using Firefox about six weeks ago, from Chrome. At first, it all worked perfectly. Now, I have a 100% reproducable problem: YouTube "short" videos never play. It will display the video player in the proper aspect ratio, and displays the overlayed text from the video's thumbnail and other meta data, but the actual playing of the video fails with a message typically like:

An error occurred. Please try again later. (Playback ID: C8SVj-KCLVM2m_DW)

Windows 11, current patched. on serious Core I9 system with 32 GB of ram, fast video card, etc.

Regular YouTube videos display perfectly. Using Google Chrome browser works perfectly.

The help message talks about clearing cache, but I can't seem to find that. I can see how to delete site-specific cookies and data. I really don't want to clear all cookies for all sites.

I'm having trouble with the current file Explorer being overlayed with a old file Explorer and a comment 'firefox symbol and word file upload'. This is happening while I'm trying to insert a document file into a online web page for a doctor. When I click the insert button on page that is when the Explorer is failing as noted above. Can someone help (send me a message on my e-mail frogbadhairday@gmail.com if you can help/or update the help screen) Thanks Perry

I use a program called Beat Buddy Manager Online (https://bbmo.singularsound.com/) Currently, it does not work in my preferred browser (Firefox).

Please create a new version of the browser app that supports the ability to use FileSystemAPI on directories, this is essential for working with a BeatBuddy project and SD cards that are saved on my computer using the online editor.

Thanks,

Audio/Video frequently goes out of sync on streaming video. (local news channels). The video stream slowly gets delayed after about 10 minutes.

This ONLY happens with Firefox. I have edge at work. Works fine. Also tested on chrome. Works fine.

This happens on all of my PC's in the house, no matter what the OS or hardware level.

(2) Win 10 home (low spec) (2) Win 10 pro

Newest PC is win 11 pro i5h13400 32 GB Ram RTX 4060

The easiest fix would be to find a setting to delay the audio. We do this all the time for concert venues, but we split the streams as soon as we get them so we can process them independently. I shouldn't need to do this in my living room.

Is the a setting some where I can get to the audio timing? Or maybe an add-on?

I have some events that I have used for years, with loads of info in the description pane and dozens of links attached. I use them weekly and move them to the following week after use. I have no idea why they have disappeared. I certainly did not delete them. Is there any way that I can retrieve them?

I am on the latest version: 128.4.2esr (64-bit) on Windows 10

Hello,

My Websocket server recently started failing in Firefox. After some investigation it looks like the issues began in v130. The Websocker server works in all other browsers and in Firefox version <= 129. After much troubleshooting it seems like a change was made to the TLS negotiation when making a Websocket connection. I was able to temporarily solve the problem by forcing TLSv1.2 instead of negotiating the strongest TLS available. Was there a recent change to how TLS is negotiated when making a wss Websocket connection?

I'm using a pixel 8. Firefox is my default browser. I noticed safe search was suddenly locked on my phone. I went to search to try and trouble shoorlt and Firefox was gone from my phone! I reinstalled it. The next day it was uninstalled again. My phone was also really glitchy and a few apps stopped working. I wouldn't uninstall Firefox as it's my go-to browser. My bookmarks came back but lost all my dlsabed passwords. Anyone have Firefox randomly uninstall itself?

A few months ago, I noticed that Firefox has become very slow. When I looked at my task manager a minute ago, it showed 2,500 MB of memory usage and very high power demand after I had opened only three websites plus yours. I took the computer - a desktop using Windows 10 - to a technician who took $140 to tell me that he "cleaned it up and everything should be faster now." It is not any better for it.

How can I get my computer to work in Firefox as well as it does in Edge?

Thank you, Barry

A 'noisy' tab is preventing auto-sleep ('powercfg /requests' shows audio activity), Firefox doesn't ID which tabs have active audio. Searching for help only provides useless information, instructing me to click a non-existent button: "Visit the tab tray by tapping the number next to the address bar". I have no such button, only a 'taggle reader view' button.
