Firefox Community Forum

Hello everybody, I'm facing an issue with an icon appearing on some sites and propagating down to the print out of the pages. Let me give an example: I'm interested in an article published on: https://www.electronicdesign.com/technologies/analog/article/55246421/modeling-on-mondays-nonlinear-spice-models-of-vacuum-tube-triodes-part-3?o_eid=9960G5790701E5D&oly_enc_id=9960G5790701E5D&rdx.ident[pull]=omeda|9960G5790701E5D&utm_campaign=CPS241216087&utm_medium=email&utm_source=ED+Power+%26+Analog When I open this page, an icon appears in the low left corner. And when I try to print the page, the icon appears on each page. If I use the simplified print mode, a kind of background of the icon (white box) is still visible on each page and can hide the text behind. On top of that the images no longer appear in the print out...

Any help to sanitize that is welcome.

I have used Firefox for years, but now it seems to be having problems with connectivity with both team meetings and zoom. Awful problems with meetings freezing or loss of connectivity.

playing videos in full screen on my 2nd monitor results in low fps for my videos . please help me, because i dont have these problems in another browser, but i want to stay with firefox

Hi,

When adding a YouTube comment when in Firefox 'Dark' Mode, the font is currently defaulting to Black characters on a Black background, making the content unreadable.

It should show as White characters on a Black background.

However, this is not a problem is you are 'replying' to an existing comment.

But, when I switch to Firefox 'Light' mode, the comment text appears as expected, Black characters on a white background.

I have no idea whether this is a Firefox or YouTube issue.

Ant clues?

i am using the Windows 10 PC version of Firefox, with updates set to automatic.

i've been having a consistent issue where themes won't be maintained between restarts of the application. If i set it to any theme, close the browser, and reopen it, it will show the chosen theme for about a second, and then revert to a strange non-existent theme that is a slate gray background with white text and no color accents. It will still show the selected theme as being active in the themes menu, and disabling and re-selecting the theme i want will make it reappear again.

i've been ignoring this issue thus far as it's just a cosmetic issue and i didn't care enough to go digging for a solution. However, with the 133.0.3 update yesterday, the default theme is getting messed up as well. It seems like it's mixing up the light and dark themes, as it has the grey/black background, but all the secondary text is displaying in black, meaning i can't see the text in the application menu, address bar, or bookmarks bar folders.

This issue is occurring with Mozilla themes, Marketplace themes, and custom Color themes. Does anyone know of a fix for this issue, or at the very least a fix for the black text?

Firefox has lost my Custom settings to include a Two column layout and My Favorite Bookmarks. My Email was accessible with the layout and My favorite sites. Now I just have one column and no Favorites or email displayed. Is there a way to restore my custom layout?

Youtube brought up in the broswer works fine with audio/video but on other websites I can view the video and can't hear the audio.

Kick.com stream is keep refreshing randomly. I clean install Firefox and didn't install any add-on but issue still continue. I don't have this issue on ms edge

Good day. I'm thinking of deleting Firefox. It's simply impossible to use it on some sites. For example, I can't write a comment on YouTube because the browser freezes. Page scrolling and controls also freeze. I turned off browser extensions, but it doesn't help. I have 48GB of DDR5 memory and one of the best processors available today...

I'm wondering if there's a way to MOVE open browser windows in the way that you can move tabs around within a window? I do a lot of research and I work this way in order to go back to a particular subject and continue where I left off. Right now I have 20 windows open with any where from 5 to 12 tabs in some of these windows. When using my pointer I see only the tab that was opened in a particular window when I closed FF. I tried holding the pointer and dragging the open windows in the task bar...but no luck.

I guess I'm asking if there's anyway I could get a quick view of what every tab in every window open actually is, or perhaps use search words to find what I'm looking for?

Thank you any response ~~Bonnie

Hi,

I have been having this issue with Firefow & Youtube for some weeks now.

What happens is that I launch a video, it plays well, but after 1 minute it stops. No buffering, no download of the next chunk of the video, nothing. It just stops. I have disabled all the addons I use and it changes nothing; in some cases, it stops the video from launching.

> Why this is not network related : on the same computer, at the same time, I can watch YT videos on Opera. Without issues. With uBlock origin enabled. And VPN. > Why I believe this is browser (ie. not computer) related : I have another computer, on the same network, that has the exact same issue. With less extensions, and no VPN. And again, when using Opera, YT works as intended, with uBlock origin.

There might be a setting related to video buffering to change, or something, I do not know. But this is beginning to be infuriating.

Is this a Google' crackdown on browsers not beging Chrome? Or am I an isolated case?

Thanks in advance !

I use Firefox as my browser (have since it was first release many many years and computers ago). I'm not if this is an issue with other browsers.

I can print most pages on Amazon, but some special pages I can't print. Example, I initiated a Return and when it got to the confirmation page I can not print it to have a hard copy on hand. It will show two blank pages in print preview except for text header and footer (which are checked in options), but nothing else. It will not print anything except blank pages with the headers and footers. Cleared print settings in about:support, tried printing with system dialog, tried printing it to a PDF and even tried a couple FF addons with no luck.

Certain pages on Amazon seem to inject something to prevent printing. I remember running across something similar a while back on another site and gave up. I eventually just screenshot the Amazon return confirmation page and gave up.

How do I get around this and make the page print? Is there some way to force Firefox to print what it's showing me on the page? Is my only option to screenshot it and then print the image?

Hello.

For the past few months, I've been experiencing severe issues with performance that I noted appear only on YouTube. I have not noticed this on any other website. The site is unresponsive, takes a long time to load, key presses (pause, skip 10s, etc.) are registered with a massive delay. It is generally very unpleasant to use.

I have tried disabling all extensions, clearing data, I even reinstalled the entire operating system once for a different reason and the issue still persisted. I launched YouTube on different browsers (Chrome) with no performance issues at all.

I lived with this problem for a long time now, but recently it's becoming unbearable. I prefer Firefox to Chromium-based browsers, but as YouTube is a site I visit very frequently, I will unfortunately consider switching to another browser.

I have not found any useful resources regarding this issue on the Internet, it seems like it's not a common problem.

Any help is appreciated.

My GPU is the integrated GPU on the Intel U7-155H CPU. When some AVC videos are played, the browser reacts extremely slow and the video image is glitched and at a really low rate of frame, and the video decoding engine seemed to be 100% occupied as shown in the task manager (normal video playback never occupied so much of it). Seems like AV1 encoded video never triggered the problem. The problem doesn't always happen, but at a rather high frequency. This never happened before I updated the Intel graphics driver from 32.0.101.5972 to 32.0.101.6129. The problem seemed not to happen on other browsers such as Microsoft Edge.

I've been having problems with Youtube. When I click on a video, it doesn't play and gives me the "If playback isn't starting shortly, try restarting your device.". However when I mute the audio, it just starts playing perfectly fine without the audio.

I had four windows open with a few tabs in each. After a hard reset of my computer, Firefox doesn't recall any of those windows so I have no way to restore them. This is keeping me from accessing two different Outlook accounts. Any suggestions are helpful. I do not have a "restore previous session" option anywhere. Running 133.0.3 on Max OSX 14.7.1.

My Firefox instance (133.0.3 64bit) on notebook shows warnings for leaked passwords in my password manager. I can even search for unsafe passwords.

My Firefox instance (same version) on tower PC synchronizes the passwords, but doesn't show warnings (incl. the black key icon), though I checked the box in settings to do so, and restarted over and over. What else can I do?

Hi, my session with a lot of open tabs has been lost due to a crash. In the profile folder, the recovery and previous files in the sessionstore-backups have been deleted. I tried to recover them using shadow explorer, but these files are corrupted, so I've had no success reading them. Is there a way to fix the corrupted files? Alternatively, because I've had sync enabled for open tabs, is there a log for past open tab synchronizations? If this was stored on the cloud, it may be possible to retrieve that table and restore the list of open tabs that way?

I just discovered that I am unable to login to my bank accounts using Firefox/Windows 10. I found that Chrome login worked normally, which makes me think something happened with a recent Firefox update. Description: The web page and login page appeared normally, but after entering the access code (obtained by text of email), and hitting the 'Submit' button, nothing happened. The screen does not change, it does not appear to be trying to load....noting except the 'Submit' button on the page changes color indicating that it has been submitted. Any help appreciated. I can use Chrome for now for this purpose, but Firefox has been my browser for many years and works will with my Password manager (LastPass), so I hope to get it working properly.
