Firefox Community Forum

Ever since a few weeks ago, some of my add-ons as well as every new add-on I added after that are unavailable at the start of Firefox. I then have to click into the application menu, click on the warning message for that add-on and enable it again. Since this is quite tedious and frustrating, I tried looking online for any info. I tried updating everything, disabling and enabling manually and removed and re-added some if the add-ons that cause issues.

I am loath to set up a fresh profile or reset all add-ons as that would cost a lot of time to configure everything again. In hopes of a solution that avoids that I am asking here now.

Firefox is a browser but not a search engine correct me if I'm wrong. Also now when typing in the search box down by the start button searches come up but I cannot get links to open when I click on them and even if I right click on them nothing happens

Hey all,

After a fresh windows install I ran in to an issue where Firefox has issues playing back videos. It is most noticeable on Reddit, but other video sites that are not Youtube (for some reason Youtube videos, even when embedded in Reddit) have the same issue.

What happens is: a video shows the first frame. I press play and it plays at an extremely low rate 1 frame every few seconds, I can't really tell whether it goes from frame 1 to 2, but it definitely does not go from 1 to 1+(time past * frame rate). Another symptom that seems to be reddit embedded video specific is that after some time it says "video not available."

Videos do play for a very short while after rebooting, and clearing cookies also seems to help, however after some time even clearing cookies has the video stopping again.

I ran the profiler for media on a completely fresh profile with no addins. I found a video, started the profiler and pressed play. I let it run for 2 frame changes and after that I stopped the profiler. I'm not able to really interpret what is going on, but I hope that someone can.

I've shared device/troubleshooting info.

Windows and Firefox are installed on a 1TB Samsung Evo 970, which I think may be the only relevant bit of info that's not in there.

If there is any other info that I can provide I am happy to do so.

I can't upload videos to YouTube via Firefox. Uploading progress stays on 0%. Using the Edge browser videos upload normally. It has always worked with Firefox previously.

It is really very strange and unbelievable! No page is open, but the memory occupies more than 700 MB and uses more than 20% cpu! What should I do exactly? I use Windows 11 24 H2

Hallo Wenn ich in Firefox eine Seite Öffne kommt sofort eine Betrugsversuchsmeldung von meinem Bitdefender Internet Security Programm. Inzwischen fast 500 mal seit 14 Tagen. Es handelt sich immer um die selbe Seite.

Habe die Seite am Router Und im PC  gesperrt. Hat nicht geholfen. Außer 2 Abstürze in den vergangenen Tagen kann ich jedoch keine Fehler oder sonstiges feststellen. Schon seit längerer Zeit kann ich mit Fierefox nicht mehr auf mein Bitdefender Central einwählen.

Hier die Copy der Meldung.

Hi,

I have the following problem: when I open a downloaded firefox pdf file, a banner partly covers the text. I do not know how to remove the banner. See attached printscreen.

I hope you can help me!

Best regards, Els Willems

I noticed that after Norton updated their Anti Virus to 24.10.9535, that I sometimes get a message that says "Connection verified by a certificate issuer that is not recognized by Mozilla", when I click on the Lock Icon. I never saw this before the Norton Graphics User Interface was updated to the most current one. I tried completely uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox, but No change. With some websites, for instance https://support.mozilla.org, I see the normal "Connection secure >", right underneath the "Site information for support.mozilla.org". But with something like: https://www.att.com, I see the error that I never saw before. I sent a message to Norton with this information too, but I don't know if they will respond or not. I know that I'm still getting the "Connection secure >", above the error, but it bothers me to see that error underneath. I am on Windows 10, using Firefox 132.0.2, at the moment. Also, Windows 10 is version 22H2 (OS Build 19045.5131), so I have all the latest patches. On my Windows 11 PC, that Norton is still using GUI version 22.24.8.36, I Never see this error. (Windows 11 is on the newest Windows version, with all patches installed; and Firefox is version 132.0.2)
