Using Firefox 134.0, Video Downloadhelper 9.1.0.44 detects only the first video on a non-YouTube site. When a second video is selected and begins to play, it is not recognized ("No media to process in current tab). F5 Refresh does not change this behavior. I've tried clearing cookies & site data, cached files & pages, history, and site settings. The only workaround is to close Firefox completely and restart. I've tried going back to older versions of Firefox and Video DLH. Prior to about 4-6 weeks ago there was no problem. For comparison, VDLH works just fine in Chrome on this same site.

I recently importing bookmarks from another browser accidentally. I'd like to try and restore the bookmarks along with the passwords that I previously had. How can I do this? I tried to do a restore, but only found options from three or four years ago. Is there a way that I can import the bookmarks from last November?

Hello, I am contacting you about the non-functioning sound of some websites. It is manifested as if Firefox does not perceive that the page is playing sound at all. For example, YouTube works as it should, but Instagram is completely without sound.

This problem started maybe 2-3 months ago. I used to have hundreds of tabs open for months and Firefox never lagged, never chugged even once. In the last few months this has been happening almost daily with only a small number of tabs open, as few as 10. The tabs I leave open are from only two websites (one of them is YouTube). Basically Firefox becomes unusably slow and needs to be restarted, so there is clearly a memory leak. I do not know if the memory leak is from Firefox, YouTube, or from the one other website I leave tabs open from, but I do know that this never happened before with vastly higher volume from the same websites.

The issue is not my computer hardware, which is in excellent condition and of excellent quality. This lag / freezing does not happen in any other application.

scrambled video on auto play sites with the last 2 updates. no issues with other browsers or on mobile firefox browser. no issues with audio and work after a few page refreshes

When Firefox asks if I want to save a password, sometimes I do want it to save the password and I select that option; it saves the pswd just fine. If it happens to be a password I don't want it to save and choose that option, it too works fine. BUT - if I chose the "Never Save" option, well the next time I go to that website, it stills asks me if I want to save or not. Before about 2 updates ago, when the "Never Save" option was selected, I was not asked for what I wanted to do with the password when going back to that site. So, it was working the way I think it should. Thanks.

Hello

After I have installed the latest ubuntu version on my laptop, I can no longer find any previously used passwords in my firefox account after logging in again. - which means that I now have to log in again everywhere, which is time-consuming and in principle unnecessary, as I had already saved all the passwords in my firefox account before ...

Can you please tell me how I can access my passwords so that I can continue to use them with firefox as I did before?

I thought that even after I update the linux ubuntu operating system on my laptop, I would still have full access to my passwords after logging back into my firefox account, but as I said, this is not the case.

I understand that as from 14th March 2025 I will need to update Firefox. I am currently running 102.0 and have sucessfully prevented Firefox from updating to later versions. I did this to prevent the updates positioning the tabs in the wrong place. Please can you tell me if the CSS script that I use to put them back into their correct position, i.e. below the Bookmarks Toolbar, will still work.

Also, will newer versions allow the user to choose where the tabs are positioned? It was possible to do this in earlier versions and the choice is also available in other browsers.

I have also managed to stop Windows 10 updating for several years too, Microsoft kept altering my laptop in unacceptable ways.

Hi, Is there a way to get rid of the messages about the upcoming browser update for Firefox on Linux?

The message appears at the second launch on a new profile and then at random moments in new tab. Message attached.

I tried already whats below, but its not helping: user_pref("app.update.enabled", false); user_pref("app.update.silent", true); user_pref("browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone", "ignore"); user_pref("startup.homepage_welcome_url.additional", "");

Hello. I would like to know why certain configs in Firefox dont seem to be available for the regular user. One that I have found is coded but dont understand how to use is stop updates and only allow manual updates. Its seems to be somewhere in code meant for enterprise users. Its valuable because when reading about updates, a whole lot of updates dont apply to me. Bug fixes for a certain application/software is fixed but I never ever even heard of that package. Many updates - I read the info - fall in this category. But I am constantly reminded that an update is available that I dont need. Then I cant stop being reminded unless I update. There is a better way. Pause until the next update would be a good middle line since we dont want to miss a really important update. How do I enable stop updates?

thx, first question/suggestion.

I am a heavy Firefox user, and have been using it (and its predecessor) since Netscape. In the last year, the size of my Firefox profile has more than doubled, from 500MB to 1.3GB. What's the probable cause(s), and what can I do about it?
