When I navigate to a YouTube video, I get the word YouTube in giant font as shown in the attached screenshot. There is some gibberish along the left edge. Actually, when I navigate to a specific YouTube video, I watch the correct video show up normally for about 1/2 of a second and then it immediately converts to the attached screenshot.

 This does not happen with Safari, and it just suddenly started happening today with Firefox. My guess is that a setting suddenly got changed by accident. But there may have been an upgrade that does not work on my computer. 
 Any suggestions or ideas for further troubleshooting would be welcome.

With the last couple of updates to Firefox (now running v133) on Windows 10 I noticed that there is a new search bar that overwrites the tabs on top of the Firefox window when I click into the URL bar, which is set up to be used for search. This began to happen recently but I'd like to know how to configure Firefox to do search like it used to, in the URL bar not a new search bar, and disable this new search bar that disorients me when it pops up and disappears.

I often open PDF links in Firefox. I can choose to open the PDF in a Firefox tab. If I leave the tab open and restart my computer, or look for that tab sometime in the future, I often see a page that says File not found (see picture). Somehow the page is being cleared out of the cache. Not sure if Firefox is doing this, Windows or some other program. Any ideas to keep these pages so I can see them in the future?

Recently I have been unable to sign in on several different sites, but have had no problem on others. This is a new computer with Windows 11, and I set it up about a week ago. When I tried to purchase a You Tube TV subscription, the purchase locked up. I tired it with Chrome and no problem. When I tried to log into my credit card account with Chase, I got an error message suggesting I try later or use another browser. Again Chrome worked. Then I tried to log into Aflac and got a message saying the site wasn't redirecting properly. Again Chrome worked. Also Firefox worked for Aflac on an older computer.

I don't want to use Chrome. Can anyone help? Andy

For quite some time (months), the Alarm.com web page has not worked properly. I get the message "Oops...Something went wrong.

Don't worry your system is fine; it's just an internet thing."

Refresh does NOT solve the problem. Today I resorted to using Edge, and all worked well. It's clearly a Firefox problem. Can you tell me what's going on? Is there a fix? I'm disappointed that Firefox can't deal with a web page.

I just discovered that I am unable to login to my bank accounts using Firefox/Windows 10. I found that Chrome login worked normally, which makes me think something happened with a recent Firefox update. Description: The web page and login page appeared normally, but after entering the access code (obtained by text of email), and hitting the 'Submit' button, nothing happened. The screen does not change, it does not appear to be trying to load....noting except the 'Submit' button on the page changes color indicating that it has been submitted. Any help appreciated. I can use Chrome for now for this purpose, but Firefox has been my browser for many years and works will with my Password manager (LastPass), so I hope to get it working properly.
