I have every about:config and settings option set to recommended to prevent autoplay videos. NONE work with yahoo. The vids will drop to the lower right hand corner but even if I click on the close window X they still pop open again. And again. And again. Is there a solution to this arrogant, self-centered behaviour by yahoo?

As the title states, certain media elements within Firefox refuse to play with audio, but only with frustrating inconsistency. For example, any videos on Youtube are fine. Any videos on Reddit are fine. But many videos, most commonly on boorus and streaming sites I cannot name here, will not play. The volume on the video slider is all the way up, the Firefox application is not muted, the site is not muted, and the tab is not muted. The only thing that makes those videos play audio is if I left click on them to open them in another tab by themselves. While it solves the issue, it's still an extremely inconvenient way to go about my browsing. I know for a fact that this is a Firefox problem because those same videos on those same sites work perfectly fine within other browsers. Please, does anybody know of a solution to this issue?

Earlier today I was trying to watch Prime video and I kept getting an error saying that Firefox wasn't updated (which it was). I looked up some solutions, one of which suggested turning the DRM setting off and then back on. That was a mistake, because after that, any time I opened Prime or netflix, the error I got was "Firefox is installing components needed to play the audio or video on this page. Please try again later. "

Then, I looked that up and found out that my Widevine was just not installing. So, I found an alternative way to manually install it, which shows that it is installed in the Add-ons Manager, but I keep getting that error and nothing works. Prior to this my Netflix was still fine and working.

I've tried a few other things including closing firefox, refreshing firefox from the troubleshoot settings, and restarting my computer.

I am out of ideas, and I wanted to see if anyone can help me before I have to jump ship to another browser.

A while back I noticed that my google calendar no longer sends reminders to my gmail (or rather, I suspect, gmail does not receive them). Yesterday I missed an important meeting because of this, so I want to get to the bottom of it. I verified that the reminders are properly set in my calendar, so I have to assume that they are going out. The pop-up windows do pop, so I assume that it is not on the calendar side. I also noted that calendar.google.com and gmail.google.com have the proper permissions to send pop-ups and notifications to gmail, which indicates to me that this end of the equation is working. (Don't know how to isolate the error further, though.) It seems that the Firefox settings need to be changed somehow. Any ideas?

Thank you!

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!

I seem only to have issues installing the Nightly build. I have successfully installed Firefox's main, beta, and dev builds.

I received the following error/message when installing it. (see attached images)

This issue occurred on a fresh install of Windows 10 directly from Microsoft's image creation tool. I upgraded to Windows 11 and experienced the same behavior. I used the tool Revo Uninstaller to uninstall previous versions of FF completely and used the tool to clean and purge any leftover registry entries and directories. No errors or entries in Event viewer.

Anybody run into this issue?
