So why since I updated from like version 96 or something to the latest version 128.0 of Firefox, is there no sound on X (Twitter) videos until they play one time first. I literally have to slide the slider to the end, then replay the X vids now to get sound. And I cant do that on live streams there so Im stuck with zero sound on lives. What the hell happened? This wasn't an issue until I updated Firefox finally.

This is exactly why I avoid installing Firefox's near daily updates like the plague for as long as possible. Almost every time you update, you regret it.

Can anyone help? If not, FF is gone and Im going to a different browser. You get tired of 27 updates a month after a while and stuff changing and other stuff not working.

I also noticed in firefox 128: I've noticed that you can no longer delete previous searches from the search field. Previously you could use the arrow keys to navigate, then press the shift or option key (varies by platform) in combination with Delete to remove old entries.

My school library has a proxy server for connecting to subscriptions at various content providers. The site certificate is wildcarded, because the proxy server's name becomes the domain for the particular site to which the authenticated user is connecting. This has been the recommended way for libraries to connect institutionally with commercial content providers since at least 2000. The attachment shows the response that I get when I connect to my library with Firefox. You aren't allowed the opportunity to tell Firefox to accept the certificate as legit and connect anyway, which is extremely annoying.

I have been looking online for all the troubleshooting routes, but I've tried so many with the same result. I've trashed and redownloaded it on my Mac multiple times and cannot even get into the options to toggle and choose. I have to usually quit firefox for anything to even happen when I click, but when I've seen it stop bouncing, it just shows it's stopped responding. I really like Firefox more than Brave and Chrome, if you could please help, I'd appreciate it. Other browsers like Chrome and Brave still work, and I just dowloaded and started using Brave in the meantime.

Firefox Sync - about:config settings not applied on other devices

I've just created a Mozilla account so that I can sync my customised about:config settings between devices but I'm struggling to get it working. For each setting I have customised that isn't on the default whitelist, I have created a new boolean setting as follows:

'services.sync.prefs.sync.xyz' where xyz is the setting I have customised.

Each of these newly created boolean settings is set to 'true'.

When I 'sign in and sync' on a new device and check about:config, the values of these custom settings is not changed from the default.

Have I missed something in my understanding of the process?

Any advice will be appreciated.

Hello,

I'd like to know if there is a way to permanently suppress that popup "open firefox in troubleshoot mode" (an image is attached to this post). Context is that we are running automated software tests (websites) using Firefox on VMs. It can happen that the Firefox processed is killed (for example, during a clean-up after a test run) and then the popup appears on the next test run.

That the browser is forcefully shutdown sometimes is unavoidable and we don't have much control over the VMs (so no reset is possible, for example). I'm really just looking for a way to suppress this popup and just start Firefox again.

Kind regards

I am increasingly finding that websites of all sorts load but I can't click on hyperlinks to other pages. Reloading the page or restarting doesn't help. I also can't type in boxes, which means I can't log in to a number of sites.

This problem does not occur in 'troubleshoot mode'.

In a linked problem, there is a webpage I use often which simply won't work properly - most of the content is absent. Again, if I use 'troubleshoot mode' it works fine.

Any ideas?

For some reason a few days ago after closing Bookmarks sidebar a few times to view full-window video, I re-enabled the sidebar as always (both with clicking the icon and CTRL + B, and they came back. Now, EVERY time I open FF (using W10), the sidebar will NOT show up unless I click CTRL + B or the icon on the bar on top of the window. I have installed nothing. Nothing crashed. FF is up to date. I refreshed it. I uninstalled it. I REINSTALLED it from scratch. I performed a system restore FOUR TIMES, yet cannot get back my sidebar when opening FF. Further, when I open the sidebar with CTRL + B, the column is VERY narrow and I have to widen it. So it appears that FF cannot remember the setting for the sidebar and defaults to a skinny one when activated. I ran troubleshooting mode and YES! The sidebar works as it should and opens with a new browser opening...ONCE. I disabled/deleted ALL extensions (I only use four), but I have not changed any parameters of FF or my system in general for this to be happening. I've checked EVERY setting in FF over and over, trying everything that could be relevant. Now what? After reinstalling I'm left with the same problem. What can I do? I cannot live with NO sidebar on startup. Oh and the silly Bookmarks bar DOES work, but I don't use it...it's stupid and I don't like the look or placement of it. This problem is SIDEBAR ONLY.

This is a problem I just noticed on Firefox when I went to my website: world-war-2-counterfactual.org/ on the search/address line. Firefox went to the incorrect site of: http://world-war-2-counterfactual.org/ when in fact my site is a secure "https://" site. To test this, I brought up both MS Edge and Google Chrome and typed in: world-war-2-counterfactual.org and both Edge and Chrome went directly to the correct and secure URL. So, why is Firefox going to an incorrect, non-secure URL address? Looks like a browser problem to me. Thank you.

How do I prevent Firefox/duckduckgo from instead of opening a newspaper site (eg: www.nytimes.com), INSTEAD opening the site with "feed" in front of it (eg: feed://www.nytimes.com)?

The web browser does this all the time, and I almost never want the site with "feed:" in front of it.

Advice on how to change the settings to prevent this would be welcome. I suspect this happened with an update but ever since has been continuous.

Only happens on my laptop, not on my iPhone. I have an Apple M1 chip MacBookPro, running MacOS Sonoma 14.5. My Firefox browser is the latest version.

Hi team/community I'm a macOS Firefox user and i currently have a setup where pressing the CAPS KEY makes so shift - option - command and ctrl are pressed at the same time, this is useful for making keyboard shortcuts that do not interfere with any OS commands or app specific commands. However, it seems like Firefox is unable to accept this combination as a keyboard shortcut for any extension. You can see my issue in my attached picture, is there any way this can be fixed on my part?
