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 get an access denied error page when trying to login to anything at att like email or myatt. Such links are also not working from the "currently" page. All other tabs sites work fine. And I can get my att email on my phone just fine too. What is the problem/fix?

Setting for "Download" FORCE duplicate saving of ALL downloads. I have tried every setting combo possible AND set 'ASK" for ALL files but NO MATTER what FOLDER I chose to download a file to it ALWAYS saves a DUPLICATE in my DOWNLOAD folder. In settings it is IMPOSSIBLE to leave the "Where to Save" Field EMPTY. I download MANY FILES a day and this requires me to VERIFY 1) did the file really go to MY selected choice and the time of download and is the DUPLICATE that was FORCED to my "DOWNLOAD" folder actually go ONLY there. PLEASE FIX THIS or

I've had an issue on my Mac Mini since (I think) I bought it ~1.5 years ago. Firefox essentially stops responding randomly. When it happens, I can usually still scroll through the page, but I'm unable to click on any links on it. Other things like hovering over things that might change color also stops working. When it happens, it happens to all tabs that are open. It usually eventually comes back on it's own after a couple minutes. The weird thing is as soon as I load any other external application, even something as simple as Settings or Preview, Firefox will immediately spring back to life. Only a couple common addons (Ublock Origin) but it happens even with all add-ons disabled. It's sporadic, sometimes I can go all day without it happening, other times it happens every few minutes.

It's persisted through 3 different OS upgrades and countless Firefox versions. I've tried everything I can find about troubleshooting Firefox on mac and nothing works. It's not a resource thing as it happens with only Gmail open sometimes and Firefox being the only thing running. I'm at a loss and looking for anything that might help. I've never seen this issue on other Macs I've used Firefox with.

Firefox is constantly (in some cases up to 12 x per incident) showing a pop up window asking for permission (allow or deny, until quit or forever etc) to connect to a website or address. Example: at website even when allowed forever it begins all over again when click further down the page or go to another page. Using a Mac os catalina and latest firefox.

thanks for any help

My Firefox 132.0.1 64-bit Windows 10 doesnt remember my settings, as e.g. home page. As soon I exit Firefox the old (default) settings come up (exept my search engine - that it remebers). I cannot find any "save settings" any where. Best regards RP

I am on Windows 10 Pro 22H2 19045.5011, using Firefox 132 (64-bit), not running Kaspersky, I do have AdGuard (7.19.0 (4853) (CL 1.16.44, DL 2.5.41 )) and Malwarebytes (4.6.17.334) on my system along with their browser adons. I have attached some screenshots, hope they are useful.

Please help.

5th Nov 2024 Hi, Firfox has just (few hours ago) updated.. It has 'lost' ALL of my (several years of) PASSWORDS, BOOKMARKS and HISTORY I have tried the fixes given on the forum,. but there doesn't seem to be anything there to recover. And frankly the whole 'other profile' thing confused me.

Can anybody help please.. ?

Thank you Phil

I have no idea why, but all of a sudden Twitch streams won't work on Firefox. It's only affecting Twitch because I can load YouTube and other streaming sites fine, and it's only on Firefox because it works fine on Chrome. I tried clearing my cache and cookies, disabling all add-ons and extensions, and restarting my device. Nothing works. The only indication that I have of what the issue might be is a message in the browser console that says this:

NetworkError: A network error occurred. addcf53b-cec4-4980-829e-de0aca27def2:1

   <anonymous> blob:https://www.twitch.tv/addcf53b-cec4-4980-829e-de0aca27def2:1

From what I can tell, the blob is where the browser loads the stream itself. Every stream I've tried to load gives me this error.

UPDATE: I was able to fix it by clearing the cache.

For a month or so after last updates is getting impossible to work with firefox. It's is getting sluggish with 3-4 open tabs after few minutes, I can't do anything, have to close all windows and open again. Even to text this for got ridiculous slow, I have only 5 addons enabled, I had 10 before but for testing disabled all others. now only have ublock origin, disconect, ad-block, blocktube, and facebook container. If I open youtube, facebook and a google searching page and start to use, after few minutes everything goes very very slow, if to type something. What's going on ? Also there's like 12 firefox tabs on task manager, taking a lot of processing and memory. Already scanned with antivirus, and it's clean. Intel i7-6700T 16gb ram, SSD, Radeon R7-M370 it's a HP AIO 27-p010xt-CTO. And is not because it's an old machine on my new laptop happens the same, and I went online and there's a lot of people saying the same.

How can I stop websites creating/updating cache files when I'm not interacting with the web page? Firefox constantly has a cpu/disk usage.

I keeps lots of pages open (almost 100) but they are continually adding/updating cache in the background. More than 1gb of cache is created withing a couple of days.

Thanks

My workflow is such that organize my tabs into separate windows for distincty different subjects. Generally this work fine; when I shut down, they typically re-open as before.

Recently this function has stopped working. Now when I launch Firefox after a shutdown, the "Window" menu shows that the separate windows still exist, but some of them stubbornly refuse to re-open. Clicking the individual titles in the window menu has no effect, they remain unopened.

When this happened to me a few years ago, I was advised to re-start my laptop in safe mode. At that time this procedure solved the problem, but now it does nothing. Does anyone hve an alternate suggestion?

I am currently using Firefox v132.0 on a 2024 MacBoook Pro running Sonoma 14.6.

Thanks!

The firefox container tabs no longer have the container name just the color. I've looked at the setting, but nothing is there. Hovering over tab does not help. It used to work up until a few months ago.

This is difficult when different containers only show color and not what type they are ex. Personal, Banking...etc

Thanks,

Hello everyone,

I'm really hoping to achieve a streamlined interface in Firefox without the clutter of two separate bars.

Here’s what I’m looking for: I want the tab bar and toolbar combined into a single bar, similar to Safari on Mac. Specifically:

   The forward and backward arrows should be positioned to the left of the tabs.
   The search bar should be smaller and also located to the left of the tabs.
   The application menu button and extensions button should be moved to the top right corner (on the same bar as the tabs).
   I want to completely remove the separate toolbar, as it takes up unnecessary space.

I’ve attached an image for clarity.

I'm currently using Firefox 132 64-bit on an Intel Mac running macOS Catalina.

I’ve already tried the Neptune theme from this link: Neptune Firefox. The creator is amazing, and the theme is exactly what I need to keep me using Firefox exclusively. However, despite following the instructions carefully, I still only see the layout shown in my attached image. I can't seem to get everything into one bar.

I don’t have experience with coding CSS, and I currently lack the time to learn it. I’m unsure if the Neptune theme should be selectable in the themes menu, but it doesn’t appear there. However, I know this design is possible. I’ve searched various forums and read many threads, but none have provided a solution to my problem.

I would greatly appreciate any assistance in achieving the design shown in the attached image. Whether it’s through a theme, custom CSS code, a plugin, or any other method, I’m open to suggestions as long as it works. Thank you!

During the last two hours, while I was using Firefox on my PC for browsing, the password manager lost all of my passwords but three - of which I don't need two logins any more. Where are my account data and passwords? What the hell?!?

I was live streaming last night, and the page started acting up, so I refreshed it, and my camera disappeared.

I went to my stream settings, and there were no cameras available (I have 3 running and available always).

I went to my permissions page, and all permissions were enabled. After finding a troubleshooting page that showed me how to get to Firefox's "Troubleshooting information" to see all Input Devices, and there were no cameras. Screenshot attached. (Funny, because the "C920 Webcam microphone" was listed, but not the camera)

When I reboot/refresh Mozilla, I AM able to see and select a webcam, but only upon initial startup. If I refresh the page, or open a new streaming page, all cameras disappear again. This is not a long-term work-around, as refreshing FF clears my cookies/cache and I have to spend 30 minutes setting my stream pages up from scratch.

Any ideas what could cause this, and if there are any other troubleshooting steps worth trying?

I am using Firefox as my default browser in Windows 10 Enterprise. Since making it my default, the computer takes forever to start up and often gives me "not responding" messages when trying to open a documents search or other tasks. When I open the Task Manager to stop a stalled task, I noticed that Firefox is using over 3800 mb of memory, more than three times as much as any other browser, resulting in over 70% of my memory being taken up. I am assuming that Firefox is therefore not sleeping or suspending unused tabs. Is this so? If so, is there an add-on or tab manager that will suspend currently unused tabs? I've tried to use the suggested tab managers but found them impossible to figure out. Why don't these add-ons provide instructions on how to set them up?

Thanks for any help or advice you can offer.

This afternoon, I was browsing and archiving many of my saves, and I frequently received the message that "Something went wrong retrieving your Saves". I have not had this problem before. There's about 6800 articles in my Pocket presently. Am I reaching some kind of limit for maximum articles I can save?

I have already converted my account to login using Mozilla (summer 2023) and I've been using the firefox browser this afternoon.

Would appreciate any insight you could share. Thanks very much.

So firefox randomly crashes. It briefly shows "Gah! Your tab has crashed" before it closes. There is no crash log, and when you open it up again it asks if I want to restore tabs and if you say yes, they all come back just as they were.

There is no particular website it crashes on, nor a particular time. Sometimes it's when I'm surfing, sometimes when it's just sitting there open. Sometimes it crashes after a minute, sometimes it crashes after 2 hours.

Yes, it does it in safe mode. Yes, I've rebooted, and reinstalled, and tried old versions. Yes, I've even reinstalled windows. Yes, I've updated all drivers and so on. I've also increased the memory allotment, and several other suggestions I found on google.

So, odd things that might help you diagnose it: when it comes back on, the volume of an in-tab player is usually, if not always, muted (not the computer, just the firefox media player - netflix, youtube, etc).

Also, I've owned this computer for 4 years and it's been a problem from the beginning; BUT I found a way to fix it. I just... can't remember what it was. Then about 6 months ago I had to send it in for repair and they wiped windows and I lost everything, since then it's crashing again.

I remember that my fix involved some fix or hack that made a *Second* set of min/max/close buttons in the top-right corner. So the normal sized ones, then a half-sized set above them. Does anyone know what I might have done to have that? Because as long as it was that way, it never crashed.

Failing that, is there a way to force firefox to create a log? Because it's not technically crashing, from it's perspective; a "tab" crashes (all tabs, actually) and then the program closes by default. But firefox itself seems to think it's not crashing so it makes no log.

I'm desperate: going to ask at a forum is worse than going to the second page of google. Thanks
