Latest Version Private Browsing Mode

Hello.

'Autoplay->Block Video and Audio' selected.

2 websites listed, which I did not place there, 'Allow Audio and Video' selected:

1. about:welcome 2. aboutwelcomeprivate welcome

'Removing' them causes them to be automatically 're-appear.'

Suggestion: about:config, .isolateBy.privateBrowsing,' and change 'True' to False.

Changing the 'above value' does not remove the 2 'allowed' websites nor does it stop A and V from playing automatically.

Not possible to Block all Video and Audio Automatically 'or' am I missing an 'obvious' solution?

Is this something to be concerned about with future sites, or is this an unfortunate, isolated incident? One of my local utility companies is not going to be supporting the use of Firefox on their website any longer. Has anyone else seen anything like this on other sites, or has this been brought up elsewhere? Frankly I find it outrageous and is forcing me and others to use Chromium based browsers (aside from Safari which I don't use).

• I emailed the company asking for an explanation, and I'm awaiting a reply.

I would share the URL for others to email and help press the company on the issue, but wasn't sure of the guidelines of the forum or if that was appropriate. I'm just irritated and venting sorry =/

How do I get around this?

So i reinstalled my graphics driver yesterday, and after that when i open a pdf on firefox it only shows blackscreen. it didnt happen on other browsers(chrome, edge)

'Another' Issue With Firefox:

On my desktop, I view Facebook via the Firefox browser. When viewing posts from other people, the date/time stamp is no longer visible.

Instead, it shows a random series of numbers and digits. However, 'hovering' over it displays the date and time.

Refreshing the page does not work. The issue also occurs on Opera.

'Again,' am I missing an 'obvious' detail here?

Team, I am a longtime user and supporter of FF. I can't tell you how much I love the the layout of Firefox on Windows in v. 133 with the vertical tabs. Just as important is the fantastic, new font rendering. Thank you so much. I used to make multiple adjustments to the font in about:config when I installed FF on Windows. Now, the fonts look fantastic out of the box. Great job, team!

Been using Firefox since the 90s and been on Mac since 2000s. This problem has been happening for about a year, throughout three macbooks (my old one, a temp one, and my new one) and multiple Firefox updates. I'm always updated and always clear cookies daily.

The failure to move bookmarks I can overcome by rebooting Firefox with a Forced Quit. If I only have to do this every few weeks, then no biggy reinserting all my passwords for all the different sites I use (and no, I don't want to use password managers, I don't trust them)

Today it happened within hours of Force Quitting Firefox, this is too much!!!

The only reason I didn't report this problem earlier is I simply expected an eventual newer version of Firefox to fix this bug.

Firefox 133.0

Normal behaviour: click-drag bookmark within bookmark menu pull-down to position where I want bookmark Failure behaviour: click-drag fails to move bookmark, until I reboot Firefox, then it works again

The browser keeps crashing. I want to remove it from my Win 10 computer but uninstall only lets me do a refresh. I need to remove it to see if it is Firefox or some other issue. How do I remove the software?

Thanks for your help with this matter.

Best regards,

Adrian

I am trying hard to keep with Firefox and trying to avpoid being sucked into Google Chrome. However am finding it increasingly problems with Firefox. I am am sure I have the latest firefox download but not able to download my Barclaycard statements. I can see my recent transactions so have access to the Barclaycard website but cant download my statements which I can do on Google Chrome and was able to do on Foirefox up until this month!

The only odd thing is in the past I have had to authorise via the app which it tells me to use but doesn't ask me to actually do it and goes straight into my account.

Barclaycard say the problem is with Firefox and they are not in anyway restricting access via Firefox.

We apparently lost power sometime during the night. When I turned on the monitor and opened FF, I got the error message that it had crashed. As my subject line says, I lost all my tabs, the pinned ones (probably about 10) as well as the open ones (probably between 10 and 15). I also lost all my history. I can't use the 'Restore Previous Session' because it doesn't give me that option.

I've restarted Firefox and also rebooted my computer...still nothing happens. It's up to date, version 133.0. But I have no history beyond this morning. Is there any way I can recover those tabs or history?

And in my FF Settings, there's a link at the top that says "Your browser is being managed by your organization". I don't have or belong to an organization. When I click on the link it takes me to another page that says it's "Active" and there's a huge list of "Documentation" that apparently involves a lot of code. Can you please explain what all that means? Thanks so much for any help!
