As per the title, I can play a YouTube LiveStream this was the one I was viewing today PostOffice Inquiry https://www.youtube.com/@postofficehorizonitinquiry947 and SkyNews which play fine for about 20 seconds then fail with an error message that "Something went wrong, please try again latter". Refreshing the YouTube page the Livestream then plays another 20 seconds of the livestream then fails again with the same error message.

Other non LiveStream YouTube videos play fine

I have disabled all extensions, tried firefox troubleshooting mode, tried opening in a private window, tried logged in and out of YouTube account. The same thing happens (stream plays then ends after 20 seconds).

The same YouTube Livestram URLs work fine in Chrome Browser

system: Linux 24.10 Beta Firefox Snap version 130..0.1

Hi, Firefox wont start up under W7 desktop.

Installed older version but keep getting error message "Firefox is already running, but not responding'. The old Firefox process must be closed to open a new window."

Processes Firefox.ex *32 appear in taskmanager after attempt to start Firefox. Killing these processes and then trying to start up Firefox results again in this message and having the processes Firefox.ex *32 appear in taskmanager again.

What else to check or to do?

My Firefox has apparently lost Unicode support for Arabic, but only for Arabic: Persian letters (which AFAIK use the same alphabet!) display just fine. The attached screenshots show the problem via Wiktionary excerpts. Note that while the Arabic text appears only as boxes, the Persian, Azerbaijani, Ottoman Turkish, etc. texts all work just fine. It's clearly not a problem with encoding more generally -- languages as rare as Old Persian, Avestan, and the IPA appear normally. For some reason it's only Arabic that's broken.

What's going on here? How can I fix it?

I am running Firefox 130.0.1 on Ubuntu 24.04.1. I have attached a jpg of the popup window mentioned in the title.

To the best of my knowledge, this window only (and almost always) appears when I am entering characters from a chat box or a text window subordinate to Firefox. I don't know if the popup is generated by Ubuntu or Firefox. Does anyone recognize this as a Firefox popup?

The scenario is this: I am typing away, entering text and for some reason the cursor moves out of the text/chat box. I don't know what I do to cause this to happen. I keep entering text and evidently hit some button that causes the popup to appear. Does anyone know what causes this popup to be displayed?

Thanks, John

I have been using Firefox since shortly after it was released. As I am fond of wine I often visit the web site systembolaget.se. But since 2 months ago that site is not readable with Firefox It shows very small pictures and text that is so smal I cannot read it. My solution is to use Chrome which shows everything as I am used to. I have not observed this type of problem with Firefox at any other web sites. Best regards, Håkan

These may be silly questions, but I cannot seem to find the setting or procedure:

1) How do I change an incognito tab to non-incognito in FF? Is that possible without having to copy and paste the url to a new browser tab? 2) Is it possible to export browser tabs from FF Focus to non-incognito tabs in FF? All I see are “Open in Chrome” and “Open in Firefox”. The FF option always opens in an incognito tab.

Just trying to find a a quick and easy way to go from an open tab in FF Focus to an open, non-incognito/regular tab in FF app where I save my tabs for future work etc. (all of this in iOS 18, iPhone)

Thank you for your time and assistance!

Hi! When I start browser it took a long time in search engine to find a result. And sometimes not find anything at all. It simply stops searching and the page seems to freeze. Furthermore, in the settings it says that "Your browser is being managed by your organization" and I don't know what that means or which organization it is. There is some document on the link and that's it.
