no matter what i try videos will NOT stop autoplaying it's driving me insane, disrupting my business and personal life and insane that none of the options actually work. I desperately need help please

Three days ago video clips in Firefox News stopped loading. I get the never-ending circle showing that the system is trying to open the video but it never loads. I am in the process of moving all applications and file from my old computer from one windows 11 computer to another. The videos work on the new computer but no longer on the old computer. Any suggestions regarding getting the videos to work on the old computer during this transition?

I am a senior citizen and trying my best to keep up with techno stuff. I have used FF for a long time with no problems. I am a keen Amateur photographer. I have started doing on line courses with the school of Photography, and some of the tutorial videos are very pixelated and UN-viewable. I have also just started subscribing to Adobe Light room and its the same there videos very pixelated. I contacted Dell as my laptop is only a few weeks old so they did remote assist and installed new drivers etc, then sent a follow up email in case all was not well. They suggested I contacted Adobe, so this i did and they did remote assist they also saw what i saw then the person s aid all is OK there end, so whilst doing remote the person installed Chrome on my laptop and the videos open perfectly. also within Firefox I hav started having the same issue with u tube videos, so can someone help me please is there a what is it ah yes extension. Whilst writing this something has come to mind i have always looked at u tube before with FF so is it this new laptop? hope someone can help please as no way i want Chrome but if i can not view LR videos in FF I will have no choice.Many thanks.

I have to unmute my mozilla in the volume mixer at least 7 times now in a span of 4 hours. Already tried the permission thing with autoplay and put it on allow audio and video and it's still randomly muting itself when things aren't even auto playing.

While typing this thing it muted itself again and nothing was playing. I'm so close to uninstalling this browser and going full on opera, or just eat up the cost and just buy 2 more sticks of ram and go google chrome.

I followed [article] ten realised that at the top it recommends not using quick time so uninstalled it,

however, after uninstalling quicktime, the browser plugin did not appear so it would not have worked anyway.

What solutions are there to this?

when accessing my voicemails for work, I need to access their online storage and listen from there. I used to use chrome and there were no issues. now, using firefox, I am being told to install Quicktime My understanding is that chrome uses NPAPI plugin. is there something similar on firefox?

when I attempt to access a URL from search and click on it, a longer url appears in the bar beginning with "doubleclick". I have to manually type the desired URL to get to the site. Many thanks. John

Hi, As you can see in the attached GIF, while scrolling though my x timeline some videos play OK while others have that green fuzz on them. It also happens when looking through Instagram stories, some work fine others are the green fuzz. Other sites, such as Youtube, have been working perfectly. I have tried clearing cache and cookies but it still happens. x and Instagram are both working fine on other browsers so the issue seems to be with Firefox.

I have Windows 11 and Firefox Version 134.0 (64-bit). My laptop is Asus Vivobook S.

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Recently, I am increasingly experiencing a video playback issue, where the screen goes nuts with varying color pixels blocks. I haved the most recent version of firefox installed. Can someone help me please. Thanks in advance.

I'm having this weird issue where youtube videos will play fine as long as I don't seek the video. If I do seek a couple of times, the image will freeze but the audio continues. The subtitles also continue if enabled. Firefox Release 134.0.1--January 14, 2025 Fresh install from Flatpak. No addons installed.I have tried both on and off hardware acceleration but the issue still persists even in troubleshoot mode.But no problem with other firefox based browsers like mullvad,librewolf,zen.

The VDH add on remains grey when installed and it is impossible to download a launched video from you tube. I have tried everything -old version, suppress and reinstall, restart browser etc.. Nothing works, it just doesn't seem to be able to connect at all any longer, and used to work perfectly before. The site is totally unhelpful. The same thing happened with EasyYouTube video downloader a few months ago. Are these addons supposed to get obsolete after awhile ?

Version 134.0 (64-bit) of Firefox Running on MacBook Pro, Sequoia 15.1.1

I have checked that DRM is allowed - it is

I have rebooted my system and cleared my cache multiple times.

I just installed Firefox today.

No streaming service works. Not Prime, not Netflix, none of it. Only YouTube or other free sites. I'll hear audio only, but get stills or black screen for video. I've logged out of those sites, cleared those sites individual cache and cookies. I have disabled all add-ons for the streaming sites. I have ensured that autoplay is enabled for Firefox.

I don't know what else to do and I am in some distress over it. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
