Since I updated to 132.0, youtube refuses to play like a dog that doesn't want to go to the vet. It lets me search videos and open the page, but the player sits and loads without playing. Music.youtube.com doesn't respond at all to the play button; it continues to show the play button and doesn't play. I tried removing all my extensions, clearing history, cache, site settings, et. al., but it didn't work. Only on Chromium does YouTube work. I heard Youtube was cracking down on adblockers, but I have tried removing it already and reloading to no avail. Next I'm trying to refresh firefox in about:support.

I was creating a message to a doctor using Epic MyChart at John Hopkins in Md. Now when I wanted to upload a file created on my computer to the message I clicked the 'insert' key on message which has always displayed the file explorer windows 10 with latest data files where i could select the file i wanted to load to message. But now what is happening is that my computer is loading a old file exployer under header firefox upload. I do not understand what this is coming from. Can someone help me. Thanks Perry

No matter how many times I clear "everything" from history, I still see firefox suggestions on the new tab page from websites I visited months ago. This is really annoying and could be embarrassing if you were on certain sites. I will NEVER understand why the default is to hang on to old data.....when it should be the opposite; users should choose to retain ONLY the history they choose to. I have CLEAR HISTORY when firefox closes checked....this is BROKEN please fix it

Hello, I keep deleting Google search as I want to use DuckDuckGo my main web search browser. There is a nuisance as Google search keeps coming back even if I deleted Google from my Search engines.

Please help with a definitive solution otherwise I should move to another browser. Cheers.

Hi everyone, I love Firefox, but it has a very debilitating issue whereby login popup windows, those little ones you click on to login, do not come up at all on some sites.

I have a screenshot below for https://www.avsim.com from MS Edge, where the popup does work. It also works on Google Chrome. But after clicking on sign in, nothing happens at all in Firefox.

Popups are enabled, cookies are enabled and safe browsing is totally disabled in Firefox settings. I have also disabled my ad blocker, AdGuard, on this site.

Can someone tell me what settings may need to be fixed in Firefox, or is this another issue?

Thanks.

Hello! Thank you for helping. Firefox must have updated, because, now, when I open a new tab, it opens in a new window, and, when I move it back on the line with my other tabs, there is nowhere to type in my search. Can you please help?

Thank you so much! Blessings,

I'm taking nightly incremental backups of /home for example to my home storage server and, I guess, due to the databases Firefox uses for various storage, those can't be backed up by just copying them, if Firefox is running and has the database open.

What are the best practices, then, for ensuring all profile data, including these databases, is in a state where it can be backed up, while Firefox is running, in a way it can be restored to a fully functioning profile?

For example, with MySQL databases, you can dump the log before running the backup each night, which basically exports the SQL statements needed so you can skip backing up the actual binary database file (like ibdata1).  Does SQLite need something similar?  and is this the only special consideration that is needed, or are there other specialized types of data within our profile directories that can't be backed up by simply copying the data while Firefox is running?

Thanks

Hi,

The newest Firefox has an issue with properly parsing the javascript links in the ACS research journal articles. In these research articles, citations are clickable numbers in parenthesis. Clicking on them leads to a pop-up frame that gives detailed reference article information.

However, with the latest version of Firefox these citation links will only respond properly to the first click ever on the page. After you close the pop-up frame, any subsequent clicks on any of these links will have no response.

I attach an example article below. This bug has been repeated under Trouble Shoot Mode and I do not encounter the same issue with Chrome brower. https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jacsau.2c00048

Hello community,

I couldn't find any information in google regarding my issue. I'm Polish and I'm using polish keyboard layout so when pressing ALT and a letter i get polish signs: ąłźć etc. But sometimes, only in firefox, CTRL starts to behaving strange, I can't use any shortcuts (CTRL+T, CTRL+C, CTRL+A etc) because CTRL starts to working like ALT and I get polish letters instead of selecting all text. ALT is still working like intended.

I don't know what triggers this and what makes it go away (it's not permament). When I started typing this it started to working correctly but it will return in some time. Im using 132.0 on Windows 11.

I have problem with the viewing texts on LinkedIn posts and emails from LinkedIn. I tried it with other browsers and they all works fine. I am not sure whether it is Firefox or LinkedIn that trigger the problem.

Thanks,

Lina
