I am starting this new thread, as the thread showing the issue as noted in my topic applies to me, but is currently going on with lastest firefox.

I am using Windows 10 64 bit and I tried everything, including safe mode, etc. etc. in the other thread ,and nothing is working.

Its not windows 10 because chrome and edge work fine regarding this issue.

I was unable toget 'automatically add' my info here in chrome browser, so I had to do it in FF ,and I'm pasting it here now:

It's beyond annoying and I avoid FF because of it, so any ideas ?

Please explain the problem in detail. What is not loading?

Youtube notifications only shows up half way,- as the thread exactly (or extremely close) like mine shows, and who also posted a picture with the UI applicable to that popup.

The 'bell' iin upper right corner of screen in youtube shows up and when I click it, the pop up is half page, tries to load content, never does , and I continue to see 'half' the window vertically ( size) compared to the other browsers.

The same Youtube notifications window that pops up in chrome and edge, do not here in Firefox.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac=Options)
key, and then starting Firefox. A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh).

Is the problem still there?

As noted in my first post :'

" I am using Windows 10 64 bit and I tried everything, including safe mode, etc. etc. in the other thread ,and nothing is working. "

The answer therefore, is yes I started in safe mode, and the problem persisted.

Are you using any kind of blocking programs/add-ons? As a test, disable your protection programs.


Start your Computer in safe mode with networking. Then start Firefox. Try Safe websites. Is the problem still there?

BLocking program, like what ? ;)

I guess the answer is yes, as I have no idea to what you refer.

I have all addons disabled, yet the issue persists.

I tried the browser in safe mode still persisted.

Is it possible firefox has been infected , causing youtube not to work right, when the other browsers do work correctly with the youtube notifier?

I'll try booting into safebox with networking, but I don't see how its going to matter given that no other browser is causing problems unless a addon did something , can't rule it out :(

Rebooting, I"ll let you know afterwards.

thx

Rebooted into safe mode, it didn't help, same exact problem.

With the computer in safe mode could mean the problem is with the website.

  • Clear the Cache and

  • Cache; Select Advanced > Network. Across from Cached Web Content, Press Clear Now.

If there is still a problem, Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). While you are in safe mode;

Type about:preferences#advanced<Enter> in the address bar.

Under Advanced, Select General. Look for and turn off Use Hardware Acceleration.

Poke around safe websites. Are there any problems?

Then restart.

Ok its fixed, but honestly , what did it I"m not sure unfortunately.

Everything I had tried wasn't helping, or maybe something I altered as per directions did fix it, only after resumming from hybernate this morning.

Ty so much for the info , something clealry did it, &/or maybe the malwarebytes free app clearing something after a resume from hybernate, no idea .

Ty so much

p.s.- Malwarebyes fround nothing even remotely problematic, so it wasn't that.

I did remove firefox and reinstall, and reenabled java I think it was.

Does the notification window rely on java to work ?

The only other likely change was setting proxy to off from its auto setting, could that have caused it ?
