On the Swedish newspaper site https://www.expressen.se they have videos in many of their articles all over the site. And for some strange reason I can't get any of their videos to play in my browser. Im using windows 10 64bit Home and version 115.0 of Firefox (64bit version). Both windows and firefox have the latest updates. The error I have looks like this: https://imgur.com/a/BK9WaOC

" THEOplayer workers could not be loaded. Please check that the worker's version matches THEOplayer's version (5.1.0)".

The link to that specific page is: https://www.expressen.se/tv/nyheter/har-staller-laman-upp-som-brollopsmarskalk

I have contacted the newspaper support and they responded they have nothing to do with the issue so it must be something with my browser settings or addons that causes the videos not to play. I have tested with all my addons disabled and I still get the same result.

However the same videos works perfect in Chrome and Edge browsers. I am clueless to what may cause this very disturbing issue because I love using Firefox as my main browser but now I'm forced to browse this newspaper in chrome instead to see the videos. Not a big issue though but still... I have never in my life heard of THEOplayer and thought it was something media companies use to show their videos on their sites etc.

This issue is so annoying, that I need to ask Firefox community what I can do. So, the problem is, that if I set custom home page called Infinity New Tab (Pro), then I will restart Firefox, then it reverts back to Firefox Home.

I think, that this is completely unrelated to malware, because I'm scanning my computer very often.

Are my preferences/settings corrupted?

However the Infinity New Tab (Pro) is no longer available in addons.mozilla.org, so if you need .xpi file, then tell me, and I will attach that file here.

just updated to 115.0.1 on the Mac yesterday and now tradingview website isn't working - i tried adding it as an exception in EnhancedTracking and CookieSiteData like i did with ebay to get it working again but no luck with tradingview... any ideas ? thx

So, whenever I open Firefox it will act normally and then after a second close by itself and when I reopen it, it will be in remote mode. I know how to fix this via about:config and do this every time, but I would much prefer a permanent fix, nothing else on Firefox or my computer indicates something else is going on, its just this. I've even at one point uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox and it didn't help.

Is it possible to permanently set a different search engine for private browsing? I have Google set as my search engine in my normal browsing mode, but I'd like the private browser search engine to be permanently set to DuckDuckGo.

(I realise I can manually set it each time to DuckDuckGo but this is tedious.)

With thanks.

The only icons I can see on the right hand side of my toolbar is the NoScript icon, along with the Save to Pocket, FF Account, Extensions and hamburger buttons.

I should have about 12.

I just installed a new system, launched FF and set it up to sync with my account. Everything else appears to run fine - passwords, history, etc. The Tree Style Tab works fine too.

I have double checked the other solutions I found here, such as private viewing options, or trying to find the icons in the customize screen, but that's not the issue.

My other FF instances on other machines are still fine.

I just updated FF on this problem machine to 115.0.2 but no joy.

How do I remove the scam pop-up that won't let me access firefox on my iphone? The pop-up says "your apple iphone is severely damaged." I can't open a new tab or delete the current tab.

I get this when trying to get my email from Comcast:

Secure Connection Failed

An error occurred during a connection to oauth.xfinity.com. PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR

Error code: PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR

My firefox installation always run in English with all of its interface elements being in English. One of the recent updates introduced a weird behavior - some of the UI became Russian. I seem to have fixed/bypassed the issue last time it happened https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1415337 but nothing works this time.

Most of my firefox is in English, but some elements such as tab titles in devtools, browser popups "do you want to leave this page", tooltips in this very text form where I'm typing right now - are in Russian for no apparent reason.

I have another profile on this firefox installation and it's completely in English as intended. I tried to check for what changed in about:config, looking for "language" or "locale" string, and there's nothing that stands out. I've tried clearing startup cache, switching language back and forth, restarting firefox.

Any suggestions?

For about a week or so, I am unable to log in to xfinity website, and only the xfinity website using Firefox. I can log in fine using Microsoft Edge. I have tried clearing the cache and turning off Microsoft Defender firewall. I don't use any third party security software - just Microsoft Defender. I also don't use a VPN. I didn't add any new software in the last month, only usual updates from Microsoft and Firefox.

What can I do to fix this?

Any extensions I install suddenly don't show up in my toolbar or the customization menu anymore, so I also can't drag them there manually.

Deleting the extensions and re-installing them didn't work, neither did deleting the extensions folder itself.

Does anyone know how I can fix this? I've attached a screenshot of the customization menu and extensions menu below.

Thanks :)

How do I have all my bookmarks and folders sorted by name automatically and permanently? When I open Bookmarks I want to see the folders sorted and the bookmarks inside each folder sorted, automatically so I never have to manually. In other words, behave like Windows File Explorer.

I'm almost certain I had it working that way on a previous installation of FireFox, but I can't get this new installation of Firefox to do the same.

I have already cleared cookies and caches, minimized my Firefox privacy and Avast anti-virus app with an exception for Wyndham Hotels and I still get the same error message:

Access Denied You don't have permission to access "http://www.wyndhamhotels.com/" on this server.

Reference #18.a52c817.1688939580.337c4864

I also tried accessing it on Edge browser with the same message. I called Wyndham and they said their website is not down and working on all browsers. Any help is greatly appreciated!

I asked a few "security/privacy" addon creators this question: "

Hail all:

First off, a note to explain this post: I have severe Asperger's and ADHD. I work for a Corporation that handles delicate data. Now, my Asperger's requires clarity, but this ad-on is all BUT clear. Which is a serious annoyance, since, more and more, life is becoming unclear, due to continuous contradictions everywhere. More so ... it, at first glance, appears to be not quite right: The ad-on promises security and privacy, BUUUUUT ... does seemingly the absolute opposite? Let me explain:

So, I got the Multi-Account Container ad-on. Upon installing it, it requested:

   Access your data for all web sites
   Access browsing history
   Monitor extension usage and manage themes
   Access browser tabs

Why on earth are these needed? Now, you speak of privacy, security, all very nice, but then you throw these "necessities" in the ad-on, which totally counter the promised privacy, security and whatnot.

I have certain data that I access through the Private Window in Firefox, related to my work. Several tabs are Corporate Account information, log ins, ... , which I darn sure refuse to give out. Not to mention, Corporate project data.

Your "necessities" breach privacy, security, and even invoke the possibility of personal data theft, bank data theft, and even, indeed so, Corporate espionage!

1) Access data for all websites: Why not just ask the darn info directly? I will open the Corporation for you, give you all access keys. Way faster. 2) Access browsing history: If you need money, just ask ... I do not like my data shoved out for money so they can "offer targetted advertising". I HATE advertising, each ad I encounter brings my IQ down by 10 %, because my poor dumb brain can't understand the stream of lies in those. Also: you have no rights to dive into my history data, it is "private" for a reason, protected by LAW. This then breaches these Privacy Laws. 3) Monitor extension usage and manage themes: Oh? Am I per chance a COMPLETE idiot? That I can't read, or think? I am quite sure, I am just clever enough to handle this myself, I reckon. Could be wrong, but then there's google and the likes to help me out, in case I do not find the right colour and icon for my tab. 4) Access Browser Tabs: Here's a smarter idea, I think ... well, for as far as I CAN think, seeing the above uncalled for "assistance" provided: Come to my place and have my computer. Direct access thus no need to do all that network doing thingy needed for remote Browser Access.

Sorry for appearing angry, but these kinds of "necessities to ensure the ad-on to work". This ad-on can just as well work without these "kindly offered assist tools". So why are they in here, while you provide your ad-on as a means to secure and privatise my data?

I would appreciate some information here. Thank you."

I received no reply yet, though I asked 11 creators nigh 2 weeks ago. Seems ... fishy ... no? I mean, can someone give an explanation on this?

Thank you. Ben

Hi. I have started having trouble accessing some pages that I have reached easily in the past. When I enter the website address, I get the following..

The MediaWiki logo MediaWiki 1.31 internal error

Installing some PHP extensions is required. Required components

You are missing a required extension to PHP that MediaWiki requires to run. Please install:

   mbstring (more information)
   iconv (more information)
   fileinfo (more information)

- an example of the address that produces this result is:

https://wiki.apterous.org/Episode_8050

I am not sure what has gone wrong, or how to fix it. I tried clicking on 'more information' and found some alarming technobabble way beyond my limited comprehension. What is 'mbstring' 'iconv' and 'fileinfo'? - and how do I 'install' them? This site has worked in the past, so I am mystified. Thanks for any help. - John
