Firefox Community Forum

YouTube hates Firefox right now. The problem is caused by the AdBlocker or the hidden AdBlocker included with Avast. Using a different Browser plays the video perfectly fine.

YouTube starts out with an advertisement and after 3 seconds, you can click skip to watch the video. If you don't get that message due to the action of an AdBlocker, yahoo will harass the user by repeatedly interrupting the p[playback of the video. There are hidden AdBlockes such as Free Avast which includes an AdBlocker automatically applied towards YouTube. So we have two issues here. The known AdBlockers and the hidden AdBlockers. Also YouTube is behaving badly towards Firefox users even though we didn't do anything wrong. They just don't like Firefox users.

I am sick of having to delete you update popup it obstructs items that I use on my screen and and if I was silly to try to install an update it would end up telling me my O.S. was out of date. My choice of O.S. is none of your business and. updates are the plague of the internet and appear ad-nauseam. The need for frequent updates is an indication that the script kiddies who write the software are not as clever as they think they are It was once possible to go into the system and block update notifications and popups but you removed that possibility WHY?. I bought my first commercial computer before Gates and Jobs had been heard of. and the GUI and internet were day dreams. At the moment I am minded to remove Firefox and find another browser. You could start by telling your script kiddies to make their offering backward compatible! Yours withe the appropriate regards J.R

Hello

Last week I deleted my browsing history, I had don't so since 2023, sadly I just found out that I need to restore a number of those close pages, I found the same topic on the site however it's from 2020 :

1. Click "Start" > "Search" > "Tools" > "Folder Options." 2. Click "View" > select "Show hidden files and folders" > uncheck "Hide extensions for known file types" and "Hide protected operating system files". 3. Click search in "All Files and Folders" in the C Drive > type index.dat in search bar > click "Search". 4. Download and install index.dat file reader on your PC if you don't have one. 5. Open index.dat file within the reader > Click on the Firefox browsing history you want to restore > Click "Restore". Then you can open your Firefox browser to check all your restored history now.

I followed the above steps until nr 5, it does not show me any data on firefox
