Firefox Community Forum

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.

Are there any settings in Win.10 that prevents me from enabling DNS over HTTPS in FF settings? It says my browser is managed by my organization. I checked about:config, dns over https = true, & security.enterprise_roots.enabled = true FF Connection settings = Auto-detect proxy settings. Thanks

I've recently migrated from an Intel based mac to an arm based mac. Firefox was working ok, until I rebooted. Now all of the tabs, address bar, shortcuts, and worst: everything in all of the preferences pages is in some weird font that's completely unreadable. The actual web pages are ok. This is really bad? How can I fix this, especially given that nothing in the preferences pages is intelligible?

With the old, or at least older, release, when I logged in to a site using my password I could either save the password or use a drop down to never save. The "never save" used to work, it doesn't now or I'm missing something that will give me the opportunity to choose which passwords I can save and which I want to "never save". Please clarify - am I doing something wrong?

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,

I like to keep my bookmarks on the left side of the page. About a week or so ago I did a refresh on my FF due to another issue. So, after that was done I went through and looked at my settings and made the changes to get back to my previous choices. Now when I sign onto FF it opens up to a blank page, which I chose it to do, but my bookmarks are not on the left side. I have to click on my tool bar to put them there and also adjust the width of the size. Before I did the refresh the bookmarks would remain on the start page unless I had closed them before I signed off. I signed on using my wife's profile and the bookmarks remain on the start up "blank" page like they've always done. I did notice on her settings page that the option to always check to make sure FF was the default browser was "not" checked. I went back to my profile settings and the same box "was" checked for the FF default checking but it's shadowed out and I can't change it. I do have my "old" profile data saved if needed. How do I fix this issue where my bookmarks on the left side of the start up page "stays" that way when I close out and the next time I sign on they are still there?

I have "Don't enable HTTPS-Only Mode" selected and still cannot connect to local sites. Example http://192.168.1.81 is chnaged to https://192.168.1.81 and rrecive cannot connect message.

This problem started after you last week after an update.

I had to reinstall my win11. I restart my mozilla password because I have forgotten it but after login there is nothing to sync so all my bookmarks and passwords are gone. Is there any option to sync it again?

bonjour, mon firefox ne démarre plus, ni en standart ni en administrateur. J'ai essayé une réinstallation, un dépannage, la compatibilité en vain. en mode administrateur il bloque sur la page des onglets, je ne peux en lancer aucun. merci Cordialement

YouTube is not playing videos on my Firefox browser. When I click on the link to a video, it leads me to the page, but the video player stays blank and nothing plays (see attached screenshot). Troubleshooting methods I've tried to no avail:

   refreshing the page

   restarting the computer

   opening a new window and trying again

   updating my graphics card drivers

   disabling all extensions/add-ons

The site works on my mobile app, and other browsers (chrome and internet explorer), but I don't want to use either of those options for obvious reasons. Is anyone else having this problem? It's been happening for a few days. Any help would be much appreciated!

Since updating to Sequoia on my Mac Mini, I have been getting thr folloeing error: Document Expired This document is no longer available. The requested document is not available in Firefox’s cache.

   As a security precaution, Firefox does not automatically re-request sensitive documents.
   Click Try Again to re-request the document from the website.

I do not get it on my MacBook with Sonoma. Please advise,

Thanks, Frank

I originally posted a version of a question I'd already posted. Since I could not figure out how to delete my own question, I changed the subject and the question, to whether it is possible to delete questions.

I apologize for this, I should have made a record of the issue to start with.

thank you for your help!

Hi, I have AVAST anti-virus.

Trying to connect to my YAHOO site (and many other sites) from Firefox , I get an "unrecognized issuer" message regarding the AVAST CA: i.e. the avast certificate is not recognized (see image)

Trying to connect to the same site(s) from Chrome, I get a "valid CA" message regarding the YAHOO certificate (see image) - no AVAST CA in the middle (at least not mention in a message...) .

My question: Why ?

Best, Avi

Hello!

I have a problem with FF browser on my PC for quite some time. It seems that every time I try searching for anything at all, there always appear a "google location bar", which obstructs the first search result completely - more in the attachment.

I've tried turning off all of the add-ons I have, tried searching for it in console, tried blocking it - didn't help.

It doesn't show in other browsers.
