Firefox Community Forum

Recently, I am being blocked from watching You Tube videos. There's a message saying that I have an ad-blocker. The message flashes on the screen and disappears almost immediately, so I am unable to read the details of the message. Then I went to another website and I received a similar message. This time, the message stayed on the screen, and I was able to read it all. It said that I have to go to my "extension bar" and disable the ad blocker. What is an extension bar, and does this have something to do with Mozilla Firefox? Firefox recently had an update, so I am wondering if they are related.

Why on God's green Earth is there a widget by default that has access to my location? I understand that it's just for weather but it is seriously unacceptable that a browser that claims to care so much about privacy plasters my location on my screen for all to see when I open a new tab. Seriously, who thought this was a good idea and how can I turn it off?

My browser keeps crashing like the system would have a defective RAM module witch has just been changed with a new one. I have created a new browser session and cleaned cache and cookies. The crash catch you randomly and then get fixated on a web page.... if i open amazon it crashes, then if i restart the browser it crashes again...like it would do when filling a defective RAM and finding a broken byte. I tested it for 24 hours from a live usb of memtest86+ and i got no error.

My system it's Manjaro Linux Kernel 6.6.40-1-MANJARO My crashes are: bp-78e48a16-1536-4efc-a7a3-a03590240719 bp-706bb811-60e0-4e9a-8cab-d42400240719 bp-535604af-d38a-4d4b-a9de-07f250240718 bp-6592ddc7-b465-43e3-bd42-53cf80240718 bp-79765cde-22a0-42f4-9add-fbf5b0240718 bp-93efa616-c694-4b39-baec-df0dd0240718 bp-6f518461-c039-4fa8-874b-2d15d0240718 bp-5dfae8cc-4a38-4c06-97d7-8a94a0240718 bp-991b53c6-6df4-4b1d-814b-dbf480240718 bp-cb084663-9f4c-4c79-9ef5-74c6a0240718 bp-4f6385b6-927c-4d70-9851-45ffd0240718

Can we verify it's not a problem of Firefox? At the moment Windows doesn't crash, it crashes only Firefox

For about two months, video quality has been persistently low for me on Youtube. Quality options are limited to 360p and I am unable to change it. Additionally, I am unable to play video on other platforms such as Vimeo, Pinterest and other streaming sites. Sites return errors such as 'Player is unable to play video at this time' or error code 102630. I have refreshed my cache and reinstalled Firefox and neither have resolved the issue. Notably, this issue does not occur on other browsers such as Chrome or Microsoft Edge. As far as I know my drivers are up to date and the Windows Media Feature Pack is installed, although it shouldn't be an issue seeing as sites work on other browsers. The issue also persists in troubleshooting mode. I've gone through the console and included images of some interesting errors that might be of use, although I don't have the technical knowledge to know what they mean. Please inform me if there is any other information I can provide that would help. Thank you!

Prior to ~1 week ago, my process of using Firefox was as follows:

• Open a new tab, search for something, click through a few links

If I couldn't find anything relevant in the first page of results, I'd navigate back to the Firefox Home Page and try another search. I hate going past the first page of results!

However, as of ~1 week ago, I can no longer navigate to the Firefox Home Page - why is this?

Hi!

I am getting messages that I am blocking ads for many of my internet requests. I had never received these before but all of a sudden I started to get them. I have tried a number of things but nothing works.

I am running Windows 11 and do not have any Ad blockers.

alright guys you need to fix your browser, it crashes everytime i try to play a youtube video.. i searched tou site for fixes and NOTHING worked. you vanilla version of the browser was perfect then yall had to go and do the microsux thing and screw it all up by adding this that or the kitchen sink. i have submitted numerous reports yet no resolution. if you guys dont fix your crap i will move on to another browser and recommend to all my friends n family to do the same.

I used to be able to press Enter in the empty Firefox search bar to bring up the (DuckDuckGo) search page and enter my search from there. Don't ask me why I like doing that, but now after the latest Firefox update, 128.0, on my MacBook Air I can't do that anymore. I have to type in the search bar to bring up the search page.

I know it's a small thing but I wonder if it can be put back to the way it used to be.

I still have not had any improvement with tab crashes especially on sites containing videos. Lately, every time i go on Facebook and play a video reel, i stop the video and before i can return to my home page, the tab crashes. This browser has gotten worse rather than improving.

WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR MONTHS NOW .... FIX YOUR SHIT OR LOOSE ANOTHER CUSTOMER. NONE OF YOUR OTHER "FIXES" WORKED.

I have used Firefox since it was Netscape, with an ad blocker if one was available. With version 128 I am seeing many, many, many ads where I used to see almost none. I have blocked popups but that's not as much help as you'd hope. I cannot find anythng like AdBlock+ or U Block. Are these no longer available? No longer recommended? I can tell you that they are sure still needed. Thanks.

How do I add an existing 2nd email account to the Firefox Bookmarks. It keeps reverting to the my family account when I try to add a link to open an existing second email address

I work at a university. More and more, when ever I need to log into a webpage for work, I am getting a

Bad Request

Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.

Google Chrome works just fine. This is getting REALLY frustrating

Firefox, specifically the Windows version, has started generating PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR errors on https:// web sites. What I find interesting is that Firefox says the page is not secure in the address bar - even though the page is secure. Firefox on Mac and IOS do not have this issue. I'm also running Bitdefender Anti-virus with Encrypted Web scan. With that feature turned off, blocked pages seem to work. I found yesterday that logging out of Sync while Encrypted Web scan is on allowed the blocked pages to load.

I deleted Firefox and re-installed it, thinking I'd fixed the problem. No such luck. I've tried all the other fixes I can find but none of them work. This is clearly a Firefox issue and not an issue with Bit Defender since it only occurs (and has been widely reported for years) with Firefox for Windows.

On a side note, even support.mozilla.org gets blocked.

Anyone have a real fix that will work?
