Several years ago (5+) I used some obscure Firefox settings to enable some sounds for the right click "Context menu" appearing and selecting an option for said context menu. These sounds also apply to the menu bar drop-downs at the top of the browser window (Disabled by default.) I enabled these because, at the time, Firefox stopped using the native windows rendering for the context menu and menu bar and thus stopped triggering the built in windows sound API calls. Later updates however have made this a bit of an issue as Firefox plays these sounds at full volume now while I have the windows sound effects reduced in volume compared to overall system volume. These are not native windows 7/10/11 sound effects I am using and are quite harsh and slightly painful at full volume, and while reducing the volume of Firefox itself in the windows 10 sound mixer is effective on them, that simply isn't a solution due to the volume of media content in Firefox (eg: YouTube) being affected as well. I have since tried to find again the guide/article I used to enable these sounds, and manually find the value in About:Config where I believe these changes originate (I could be wrong on this), both to 0 success.

Does anyone know what obscure changes I need to make to remove these sounds?

There's a bug with Firefox 134.0.2. where I keep getting logged out of certain websites, even without clearing my cache.

Is there a possible fix in the works for this issue?

When I run a internet speed test Edge and Chrome are consistently in the 80's range. When I run FF the speed is in the 60/s. It's causing downloads to get hung up. What can I or FF do about this?

I use the IRS form filler to pay my taxes...have for years with Firefox browser. This year (for 2024 return) when I sign into the site the 1040 form does not display correctly. the boxes are to the right and below the actual placement. I emailed IRS who said it is a setting in Firefox. I tried the site using Microsoft EDGE and it displays correctly. I have searched for possible solutions and tried them all like using/on and off excelerator, letting Firefox chose size and colors of sites, turned off Noton etc. I posted another question here but no replies or looks so maybe I did something wrong so I will try to post again. I have W10 fully updated and Firefox too up to date. I understand I could use Edge but never had to and prefer to use Firefox as I have before. any suggestions would be appreciated or where I can report a possible issue with Firefox. I have attached a sample. thank You

Nearly every website I try to get on to crashes. Youtube crashes almost immediately, Crunchyroll crashes when I try to play a video. Hidive doesn't crash. The Submit feedback website also crashes after a couple of seconds. I have done almost everything recommended to me in regards to trouble shooting. Firefox is up to date, my drivers are up to date, I cleared my cookies and turned off every plug in, but nothing works. My connection is secure, as I do not have problems when I play and download games on steam. I have tried using the link to get the the community help page, but that link doesn't work and leads to a Page Not Found page, so I can not share my latest crash report code.

The report code is EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION_READ

I have looked this up but haven't been able to get any helpful answers.

If there is anything anybody could do that would be great.

Problem with video playback; after a while/randomly, Firefox crashes, slows down the laptop and video is displayed as shown in the attached image. Laptop model: Thinkpad T16 Gen 3, CPU: Intel Core Ultra 7 165U with Intel graphics. Firefox version on windows 11: 134.02 (64bit).

For the last several days I've been having a problem with general slowness when accessing various bookmarks and/or searching in the address bar. I've disabled various extensions which I really didn't us a lot and the cache is kept clean. It also seems to using a lot of memory. Task manager was showing approx 750mb. I don't know if this amount is typical or not. I've tried a safe boot and it really didn't change anything. I would also mention that I'm not having these issues in either Chrome or Edge. I tried doing reinstall-not a clean one, but it really change anything. Any suggestions on how to proceed? Thanks

Hi everyone,

About a month ago, I began experiencing issues with video playback. When I visit websites with videos (such as YouTube, news sites, etc), the videos often start flickering, as shown in the screenshot. This flickering is accompanied by significant lag, which only stops if I scroll away from the video or navigate off the page.

I’ve noticed that disabling hardware acceleration in Firefox fixes the flickering issue, but it introduces bad screen tearing, which is also annoying. I’d prefer to keep hardware acceleration enabled to avoid tearing, but the flickering and lag make it unusable in its current state.

Has anyone else encountered this issue? If so, are there any known fixes or settings I can adjust to resolve the flickering while keeping hardware acceleration enabled?

Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

Updated Firefox to the latest version.

Updated my graphics drivers.

Cleared cache and cookies.

Home screen shows: Error: Platform version '130.0.1' is not compatible with minVersion >=130.0 maxVersion <=130.0

My account indicates I am up to date with version 134.0.2 (64bit)

In addition, today all tabs are broken

I have tried everything I can think of or find on the internet about changing fonts on FireFox. My bookmarks and titles are very large and I can't get them down at all. I've tried all the suggested way on the internet by changes the fonts in settings/General but it doesn't change the font in Bookmarks. Help, I'm loosing a lot of real estate on my browser

secure.chase.com has been broken for some time. The site works with other browsers on the same MacBook Pro (2017) under Monterey Does not work in Firefox, even in "troubleshooting" mode with all plugins disabled.

Please help

Thanks, Walt

I'm looking to change all the fonts on my Firefox webpages and menus to Lexend. How would I do this? I've changed the majority of it in Settings > General > Language and Appearance > Fonts, but I'm looking to change the font in my search bar, on my tabs, and other menus like the Extensions popup.

It would be really helpful if all these settings were in once place, as well!

Vert Scroll bar , right hand side are too narrow and need to be widened. Where is the setting to achieve this? FF scroll bar does not follow windows defaults either.

A post similar prev, has been archived -not viewable & reports to ask new question.

Question self answered

Running MAC Ventura 13.7.3 See Attached. All language choices are set to US English, unless there is a double secret location. It's been going on for months, over various versions of Firefox and ventura. They usually only come up when I first load Firefox, and they acn come up on different pages. How do I stop this annoyance? I've cleared cookies and that did no good Thanks
