I have noticed in the past few weeks or so, many video play backs are erroring out on google/news: Example: https://6abc.com/post/middle-schoolers-create-20-fake-tiktok-accounts-impersonating/15039963/

Message is: Media could not be loaded, either because server or network failed or because format is not supported.

IMO not a network issue......

Thanks John Hutchins

I subscribed to an educational series that includes several kinds of presentation, including MP3, PDF, and video. The videos do not work. Not at all. I was directed to try a different browser, which I did: microsoft edge. The videos play using that browser.

I MUCH prefer to use Firefox -- do not like anything microsoft, but here we are, trapped in bill gates' monopoly.

I looked at "settings" but was not able to see anything there I thought would allow these videos to play in firefox. Be advised, I am NOT a computer person, so anything you might suggest, please be very literal, specific and define any acronyms -- do not assume I know anything about this stuff, because I don't -- I do not speak computer.

Again, I MUCH prefer to use firefox so I am hoping you can help me to watch these videos in firefox. The website is Goodness Lover (weird name, I know) it deals with diet, microbiome research etc.

thank you, Rick McBride wopela@earthlink.net

So, I've switched to Firefox as my main browser (I was using it before, but as a secondary option) and I've spotted this native extension called Pocket.

When I pressed it, I was on YouTube Music already, so it automatically saved that url. Now, the reason of contacting support is more of concern than anything. When I pressed it, a weird message has been attached to it, so I am wondering why, as it is confusing to say the least. I've attached a screenshot with the saves, which also has the weird message and YouTube for comparison next to it.

Thanks.

When Firefox opens up the address is typed in at top left in small print. The center bar is there, open, but if you click on it, while the cursor blinks, when you type in an address nothing appears as it does with Google Chrome which we have replaced with Firefox. My wife finds the top left print too small and wants me to go back to Google Chrome where she can read what she has entered. I cannot find anything, anywhere which will allow her to do this. We use Thunderbird and have made a few donations over the years. Hope you can help.

I don't know why or if it's related to Firefox, but For the last couple of weeks after logging into Instagram or Facebook or Disney+ or Paramount+ or X I get an email from them that says I logged in from a device I don't usually use. I have had the same device for several years. Getting those emails is annoying and also concerning. Can I fix this somehow? FYI I use Duck Duck Go via Firefox for my internet searches.

M3 Macbook Pro, Sonoma 14.3.1. Firefox ESR 115.12.0esr (64-bit).

Fresh FF install right after setting up OS. Opening FF from OS opens home page. If FF is not running & I click a link in another program (email, GIMP help menu link, etc.) FF opens the linked page but also opens the home page (2 tabs). If FF is running, the linked page is opened in a new tab, leaving current tab(s) in place, the expected behavior.

FF is default browser. Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed is selected. Created a vanilla test profile with no modifications to settings, made it default, and got the same result.

On my previous laptop (don't remember FF version - whatever the latest Intel ESR version was about a month ago) opening FF from the OS opened to the home page. Opening FF (not running) from a link in another program opened only the linked page and not the linked page + home page. FF already running behaved the same as now.

My OS account name is changed in the troubleshooting information.

I am currently on windows 11 for ARM (surface laptop 7) and this problem is occurring with both Firefox as well as Firefox developer edition. It's also only happening on my external monitor. I have done some searching and found posts from as long as 4 years ago. The posted solution is to disable any compatibility options but in my case none are selected. This is driving me nuts, does anyone know of a solution? This has to be firefox specific because no other program does this, including other browsers. I have included a screenshot to show what it looks like.

Fire Fox browser js still not working right it dont change scenes you click on a link ^ it just sets there & spins back & forth at the top.

Crome works fine HP says it your website all the up dates is what messed it up sowhy cant you fix it

I am not computer savy and I have tried every way I know to get to the following web site. Please help me. I put it in and it just says not logged in. I have tried changing passwords and that does not matter. I feel something is blocking it and I am not smart enough and to old to figure it out. https://mychart.clevelandclinic.org/Authentication/Login? Thank you Jean Brummett Jeandet11@aol.com

Hello every professional engineer

I knew how to convert the Firefox file sessionstore.jsonlz4 to .json file by using this website https://www.jeffersonscher.com/ffu/scrounger.html

and after editing the resulting .json file

How can I convert it back to .jsonlz4 file to return it to my Firefox profile as it was?

Hello Since Youtube on mozilla got updated, it changed showing description and comments to the right, (instead of the bottom) there is missing info on the right When a video has timestamps it is not showing all the description that has in it instead is showing only timestamps When a video doesn't have timestamps then you can see everything and no description is missing The timestamps on a video is blocking the description of the video Soon as I press see more it's showing only the timestamps of the video not the description Is there any solution about?

Hi. i ran into a broken problem. sometimes when i bootup my pc and start the firefox, My windows crashes immediately. what shuld i do and how i can send the firefox log files to mozilla team?

I have set Firefox to not automatically restore the previous session on launch. That is, "Open previous windows and tabs" is unchecked in the Startupsettings.

Most of the time it does not do so, however the previous session will get erroneously auto-restored in the folowing circumstances.

Open a few tabs in a normal Firefox window. Fully quit Firefox (via, for example, pressing ctrl+shift+Q). Open a private window first. Open a normal window second.

What should happen is that the new normal window contains just a single new tab. What actually happens is that the tabs that were open in the previous session get auto-restored in this normal window.

To sum up, there is no auto-session restore if Firefox is launched with a normal window first. There is auto-session restore if Firefox is launched with a private window first, and then a normal window is opened second.

Is this a known issue, and are there any known fixes to prevent the auto-session restore in the latter case also?

Hi, I recently opened an account on my iMac with a news media provider. I opted for the Mozilla-generated email mask and securely-generated password. In both cases the mask and password consist of a very long sequence of randomly generated characters. Just wondered if there is an easy way to log in to apps on iphone without having to copy out a long sequence of characters for both email mask and password? Using latest version Sonoma 14.5. iPhone 15 iOS 17.5.1.
