Firefox Community Forum

I use FF on desktop. Recently, I've run into a problem. My desktop browser will not load any pages... except Youtube. Youtube loads just fine, I can open a video or browse channels or community pages normally. I have fully reset my browser, reinstalled it, and disabled extensions. Other browsers on my PC will work normally. I have very few extensions: Sponsorblock for Youtube, uBlock Origin, and Facebook Container, that's it. I am not using a proxy or VPN. Troubleshoot mode did not fix the issue. I'm not the most tech savvy, so I apologize if I missed anything here.

Any insight is appreciated. Thanks!

I'm trying to set up Firefox on a new Chromebook and running into several problems. 1) when I attempt to sync and save data, the camera option says no camera. The email option says address not found. 2) Same problem with the Firefox Help link - address not found. 3) Under the Setting menu, I don't see anything that would allow me to load in Safe mode

Thanks, David W

Firefox seems to run slow. I rebooted my new Windows 11 computer (Dell Inspiron 16, Intel Core 11), opened up Task Manager, then opened Firefox. I have one browser page open with one Firefox tab, yet the Task Manager is appearing to tell me there are 9 Firefox "pages" (?) open; see attached image. What is this? Why is this? Is it slowing performance? I have run Firefox for several years and would like to keep doing so; just not sure I can deal with the slow performance. Thank you for your consideration & assistance.

Why on gods green earth did you put this sidebar in now?? Appears with the update, not needed, interferes with the picture. Just what an inane thing to do. Now would someone please tell me how to remove it please. Or do I have to hire an engineer? This was totally unneeded.

I have used Firefox for as long as I can remember and have always been pleased with it in fact it was my favorite browser until now. I have been playing War of Kings for several years now but for the last few weeks it takes forever to load and takes forever to get around in the game.I have several browsers and FireFox is the only one creating this problem . I can no longer use Firefox and I really hate that.Can some one look into this and let me know it can be fixed.You can reach me at b_conlee@bellsouth.net

using firefox premium in Mint 21.3 Cinnamon youtube videos always start 11 seconds in. i have NO ad-blockers. The same video using Chromium on the same platform does NOT act the same way. Wazzz-up?? tom t

The Avast Password Manager was deleted from task bar about 5 days ago or so-- 12/11/24. Why would Firefox do that and inconvenience its customers? It needs to be restored immediately and nowhere to find help on this matter. Avast is aware of the problem and so is Firefox but we, the customers, have no solution that is available. This encourages us to use Chrome instead. Is there a solution? Please advise.

When playing any audio on Firefox it plays only through the front center channel. Moreover, the right channel is completely mute (tested using youtube videos and https://www2.iis.fraunhofer.de/AAC/multichannel.html). Everything works correctly on Chrome and Edge

I've noticed sometimes the audio does work correctly, but I've no idea why that is.

I'm listening on HyperX Cloud 2 headphones, the virtual 7.1 setting doesn't change anything when listening on firefox, works correctly on Chrome and Edge.

Hi, on certain websites, like Steam Store and IMDB (for video game or movie/tv trailers), when I play a video but then switch tabs or minimize etc. the video immediately pauses itself, on other websites however like YouTube for example, this isn't the case and the video continues to play in the background, which is how I want it to behave for the websites mentioned above as well.

So I just wanted to ask if this is a setting imposed by the website itself, like Steam, or if it comes from the browser or maybe video player software or windows side etc. and I can change it by changing some settings or something, or is this something I can't do anything about and just have to accept as it is by unbypassable design of the website?

Thanks for any help or info.

Chrome seamlessly harmonizes with the PowerToys FancyZones feature in Windows 11. In Chrome, I can drag a tab out of a browser window, and instantly snap it into a FancyZone. I can also quickly arrange multiple separate Chrome windows into FancyZones without issue.

Firefox's interaction with FancyZones is not good. When I drag a tab out of a window, it doesn't allow me to snap it into a FancyZone. I first need to release left click, allowing the tab's new window to appear, then I can snap that window into a FancyZone.

The biggest occurs when I have multiple Firefox windows open and snap one of them into a FancyZone. Often, one of the open Firefox windows will spontaneously shrink itself in size. When I try to manually resize the window back to normal, it shrinks further and further, until it is an invisible sliver. The only solution when this occurs is to fully restart Firefox.

It seems strange that Firefox has such poor compatibility with FancyZones, which is growing in popularity along with other productivity tools in PowerToys. Wondering if anyone else has experienced these issues, if there is any workaround, or if there is a fix being worked on.

I have used Firefox for years, but now it seems to be having problems with connectivity with both team meetings and zoom. Awful problems with meetings freezing or loss of connectivity.

Hi,

When adding a YouTube comment when in Firefox 'Dark' Mode, the font is currently defaulting to Black characters on a Black background, making the content unreadable.

It should show as White characters on a Black background.

However, this is not a problem is you are 'replying' to an existing comment.

But, when I switch to Firefox 'Light' mode, the comment text appears as expected, Black characters on a white background.

I have no idea whether this is a Firefox or YouTube issue.

Ant clues?

i am using the Windows 10 PC version of Firefox, with updates set to automatic.

i've been having a consistent issue where themes won't be maintained between restarts of the application. If i set it to any theme, close the browser, and reopen it, it will show the chosen theme for about a second, and then revert to a strange non-existent theme that is a slate gray background with white text and no color accents. It will still show the selected theme as being active in the themes menu, and disabling and re-selecting the theme i want will make it reappear again.

i've been ignoring this issue thus far as it's just a cosmetic issue and i didn't care enough to go digging for a solution. However, with the 133.0.3 update yesterday, the default theme is getting messed up as well. It seems like it's mixing up the light and dark themes, as it has the grey/black background, but all the secondary text is displaying in black, meaning i can't see the text in the application menu, address bar, or bookmarks bar folders.

This issue is occurring with Mozilla themes, Marketplace themes, and custom Color themes. Does anyone know of a fix for this issue, or at the very least a fix for the black text?

Firefox has lost my Custom settings to include a Two column layout and My Favorite Bookmarks. My Email was accessible with the layout and My favorite sites. Now I just have one column and no Favorites or email displayed. Is there a way to restore my custom layout?
