Firefox Community Forum

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.

playing videos in full screen on my 2nd monitor results in low fps for my videos . please help me, because i dont have these problems in another browser, but i want to stay with firefox

I am using Fedora 41 on a Dell 7750 laptop and your browser (latest update). I have it set to Dark Mode Theme within Your settings.

When typing comments in YouTube comment section under videos, the text is BLACK and cannot see what the FREAK I am trying to type. I have to highlight the text to see where I'm at and if it is all good to submit.

Recently when I try to access any of my accounts on my Mobile Phone through Firefox I get an error that says This Website Requires A Secure Connection. I don't get this message from any other browser on my Mobile Phone and I don't get this message on my Desktop. It tells me to try again or go to the Advance Tab and it still does not go to a site.

The bookmarks and everything works except to take me to a website.

Macbook med Sonoma 14.5. Firefox got stucked, probably because of to many tabs open. It shows at the bottom list, but not visible when trying to click on the icon, or pressing "command +tab". Tried to reinstall, but the system telling one Firefox is already open.

Issue 1: As with vimium(https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/vimium/dbepggeogbaibhgnhhndojpepiihcmeb?hl=en&pli=1) extension we can press J or K to more left or right, or in Zen browser's case, up and down. But vimium has limitation as it doesn't run on Zen's native web points like settings homepage etc. Please add a shortcut for navigation between tabs other than alt 1-9. Where we can just change adjacent tabs.

Issue 2: Also on full screen the bookmark bar it impossible to access with shortcut or without it just vanishes

Issue3: The browser close minimize icon are just useless on full screen I3WM or HyprLand like windows manager as we never need to do those things.

Issues are arranged in their priority order, as the top one needs the most focus from the devs.

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?

the browser is to laggy and i think there is something wrong, I reset it, removed and reinstalled would cause be the cause of that knowing I don't that face that issue on other browsers

I did see the question here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1448269

And the answer is not useful, mainly because apt-get does not use a browser to update its cache.

Err:16 https://packages.mozilla.org/apt mozilla/main all Packages

 400  Bad Request [IP: 34.160.78.70]

E: Failed to fetch https://packages.mozilla.org/apt/dists/mozilla/main/binary-all/Packages 400 Bad Request [IP: 34.160.78.70 443] E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

Using curl/wget/httpie works as intended, just apt-get update fails.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

I have a laptop with an AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS CPU, including a Radeon 780M iGPU, running Ubuntu 24.04. In order to fully utilize the GPU by supporting OpenCL acceleration I installed the additional drivers by: `sudo amdgpu-install --usecase=graphics,multimedia,opencl --opencl=rocr --opengl=mesa`

After that programs which benefit from OpenCL acceleration recognize the GPU, however firefox starts crashing with the following error msg:

XPCOMGlueLoad error for file /usr/lib/firefox/libmozgtk.so: libwayland-client.so.0: failed to map segment from shared object Couldn't load XPCOM.

It seems that the AMD GPU drivers registered their libraries in `/etc/ld.so.conf.d` as 10-rocm-opencl.conf, 20-amdgpu.conf which means that libraries within the given folders are found first.

This applies to the libwayland-client library, which is used by `/usr/lib/firefox/libmozgtk.s`:

ldd /usr/lib/firefox/libmozgtk.so | grep amd libwayland-client.so.0 => /opt/amdgpu/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libwayland-client.so.0 (0x00007013767bf000)

Interestingly the same `libmozgtk.so` library is used by thunderbird:

ldd /usr/lib/thunderbird/libmozgtk.so | rg -i amd libwayland-client.so.0 => /opt/amdgpu/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libwayland-client.so.0 (0x00007d44b0f41000)

However thunderbird just works fine, so I expect that there might be something wrong with firefox utilizing this library.

Maybe I should also mention, that I'm not even using wayland as desktop compositor, but good old x11:

echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE x11

Is there any way to further debug this issue?

Youtube brought up in the broswer works fine with audio/video but on other websites I can view the video and can't hear the audio.

Kick.com stream is keep refreshing randomly. I clean install Firefox and didn't install any add-on but issue still continue. I don't have this issue on ms edge

Since the last update of Dark Reader for Firefox for iMac yesterday, when I use Dark Reader what often happens is that the Bookmark Tabs and everything above the Bookmark tabs such as Firefox control buttons, the names of the open tabs, etc. are no longer visible - they're all so dark as to be unreadable. How can this be remedied as I much prefer the dark view and can't figure out how to fix this.

Since I updated my MacBook to macOS Sequoia, I have no access to local network pages (except 127.0.0.1, localhost and 192.168.0.1) - an "Unable to connect" error appears. Immediately after the first launch of Firefox, a request for local network permissions appeared, which I accepted, but it didn't help. I performed all the actions from this article, and also used the terminal command reset All approval status for org.mozilla.firefox and Firefox disappeared from the privacy settings. While a request for access to the microphone and camera reappeared after restarting the browser, no question about the local network appeared. The problem only occurs in Firefox (version 128.5.2esr) and does not appear in other browsers (checked in: Firefox Developer Edition, Firefox Nightly, Safari and Google Chrome). macOS 15.1.1 (24B91).
