Firefox Community Forum

Firefox is constantly (in some cases up to 12 x per incident) showing a pop up window asking for permission (allow or deny, until quit or forever etc) to connect to a website or address. Example: at website even when allowed forever it begins all over again when click further down the page or go to another page. Using a Mac os catalina and latest firefox.

thanks for any help

My Firefox 132.0.1 64-bit Windows 10 doesnt remember my settings, as e.g. home page. As soon I exit Firefox the old (default) settings come up (exept my search engine - that it remebers). I cannot find any "save settings" any where. Best regards RP

5th Nov 2024 Hi, Firfox has just (few hours ago) updated.. It has 'lost' ALL of my (several years of) PASSWORDS, BOOKMARKS and HISTORY I have tried the fixes given on the forum,. but there doesn't seem to be anything there to recover. And frankly the whole 'other profile' thing confused me.

Can anybody help please.. ?

Thank you Phil

So I can open up Youtube no problem, scroll around and even hover over a video for the preview. However the moment I click on a video the tab will crash. I check if this was the case for other video streaming sites. HBO Max has the same issue while Amazon prime doesn't crash however has a message saying there is a problem with the video player. Now I checked if videos can work on another browser (Microsoft Edge), and there are no issues. I have cleared the cache, disabled extensions, checked for updates [update to date: 132.0.1 (64-bit)], restarted Firefox from troubleshooting mode, enabled autoplay, checked if videos work in private mode, updated my graphics card driver, and even checked if Firefox's volume is muted (its not).

I have no idea why, but all of a sudden Twitch streams won't work on Firefox. It's only affecting Twitch because I can load YouTube and other streaming sites fine, and it's only on Firefox because it works fine on Chrome. I tried clearing my cache and cookies, disabling all add-ons and extensions, and restarting my device. Nothing works. The only indication that I have of what the issue might be is a message in the browser console that says this:

NetworkError: A network error occurred. addcf53b-cec4-4980-829e-de0aca27def2:1

   <anonymous> blob:https://www.twitch.tv/addcf53b-cec4-4980-829e-de0aca27def2:1

From what I can tell, the blob is where the browser loads the stream itself. Every stream I've tried to load gives me this error.

UPDATE: I was able to fix it by clearing the cache.
