Firefox Community Forum

After the recent bunch of windows updates i started noticing youtube loading much slower and other websites acting strange. Just now i tried to look at a link https://steamusercontent-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/47948470127416586/912CDEE3AD8B94CF3122B7338E89E24C9B6EC29D/

I get "No video support and MIME type found". I have uninstall/reinstalled, checked codex, disabled addons and downloaded Microsoft windows media pack, then restarted the computer.

Nothing seems to work. But i had to reinstall Firefox again because all my tabs would crash after the last reinstall.

I'm running Firefox 122.0.1 on a Windows 10 desktop PC, with a profile which includes a userChrome.css file which makes several layout and cosmetic changes.

I also have a laptop (also Windows 10) which has an old Firefox 97.0.1 installation, and I'd like to make the same changes on this machine which I'm used to on the main computer. I copied my desktop profile to the laptop, to the same directory as its present profile, but when I rebooted Firefox the transferred profile wasn't recognised.

While doing the transfer I received error messages about some of the folders: Destination path too long. This despite the fact that the registry flag to accept extended paths is set to 1. I had to skip several folders in order to complete the transfer.

Could this be the reason why the new profile isn't being picked up? Or is it because the two Firefoxes are of different versions?

I'd be grateful for any thoughts. Many thanks.

Hello,

Anyone know how to fix this? (See image) This is ONLY Firefox on Windows 11. I tried everything ChatGPT suggested but nothing works. I know it is a minor thing, but it is visually annoying to me because I prefer Firefox over Chrome. But Chrome works just fine. And please note this is a brand new Windows 11 PC and first install of Firefox. I have reinstalled several times and it doesn't change. Nor does any CSS hack ChatGPT threw at me. Thanks if you can fix it!

Hi,

I have problem when using keywords to open bookmarks. I enter the keyword for the bookmark and the bookmark is found and appears in the dropdown from the address bar. But a few miliseconds later, the bookmark found disappears and the is instead replaced with either "Search with Google" for the keyword or just another URL.

See images for the created bookmark and what it looks like. Here I enter go. Then it shows if I want to go to Google.com, but if I then hit backspace to delete the autofilled URL, it shows the found bookmark.

I believe this problem began in 133. I've noticed that if FF is open for a few hours, it starts to develop a very noticeable input lag. For example, if I'm watching a YouTube video and hit an arrow key to advance the video, there will be a couple of seconds before the browser registers the key press. It behaves like a high CPU issue but I do not detect high CPU usage when this is happening. Restarting the browser resolves the issue for a few hours.

This is happening on Windows 11 as well as on a Mac running Sonoma.

As title. Installed the latest update as soon as i came out. I get the "Welcome to Firefox" tab and the 2nd tab "Firefox Privacy Notice" opened.

The 1st "Welcome" tab, has the box and buttons asking me to import old setting and all that jazz. I have down in quiet a few times and nothing is taken root. I have went through the process of installing all my old addons and extensions, I am not sure how many times, as I use them every time I open my browser to watch Twitch or Youtube, Beyond 20, and what have you. And of course it keeps resetting my toolbar and the bookmarks and settings on my homepage.

I thought at first, it might be buggy and after a day or two it would get fixed an updated. But alas, nothing thus far and this is forcing me to use other craptastic browsers I rather not even have installed on my system.

I have refreshed Firefox a time or two, I uninstalled and reinstalled, but I am afraid to completely wipe it out, as I do not want to lose my bookmarks, passwords, and other saved information, that I probably should not have saved but I do because my memory is "teh suck".

I would appreciate any insight on how tor resolve this issue.

Thanks!

I have the last Firefox version and am trying to add extensions (e.g. video download helper). When I click on Add to Firefox, it works at loading the extension, but without any success. The blue dot in the gray square dances and dances and dances.... Thanks !!

I've got Firefox on three devices and I'm looking to get a little more fine grained control between the synced data.

Ideally I want to sync passwords between all three but only sync bookmarks between two of them. This doesn't seem to be possible with the current options. Is there an alternative short of manually exporting and importing on the devices I want to keep in step?

I have been facing a problem with custom images of home page shortcuts. Whenever my laptop shuts down and Firefox was open at that time, then upon restarting, Firefox recovers the websites that were open before shutting down. However, in this process, the shortcuts do not load the custom images at all - they are all blank. I created a new profile and started everything from scratch then also the issue was there. Is there any solution to this, or is there any issue that might be from my end?

I collect images ... when I download an image there is a series of numbers below the image ... over the years I have noticed the numerals have vastly increased in quantity ... there are now as many as 37 numbers under each picture I download ... it is very tedious to reduce or erase these numbers for every image downloaded ... obviously there is some sort of "counter" built into the browser ... Is there any way to reset or eliminate this counter ? ... Thanks ...

I'm trying to import my passwords; what I've read says I will find Logins and Passwords in the menu represented by three bars at the top right of my foxfire sign in page. The problem is I have three dots, not three lines, and nowhere do I see Logins and Passwords, just Passwords, and there's no import data option there. Sorry if this is lame. I'm old and clueless in the world of tech. Also, thanks for any assist.

Bonjour,

dites, j'en viens à venir ici demander si il est normal que je doive activer manuellement la synchronisation à chaque ouverture de firefox developer edition en 64 bits svp ?

Aussi, depuis quelques jours, il semblerait que je doive réparer firefox pour pouvoir acceder à mes pages ....

Jamais eu de souci jusqu'à maintenant mais c'est un peu redondant comme process ...

Merci de vos eclaircissements !

I've been a loyal user of Firefox for many years, but recent problems have cause me to question that loyalty. I posted previously that the Alarm.com web site does NOT appear correctly AFTER login (NOT BEFORE login). NONE of the suggestions that were given helped. Now I see that images don't appear on a matchmaking site I go to, either on the site itself or images from the site in Outlook web (ie using Firefox) email. It never used to be this way. I never had to worry about it. I've made no changes to Firefox that I'm aware of that would cause this change in behavior. WHY is this happening? I tried everything but creating a new Firefox profile suggested in this link:

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/fix-problems-images-not-show#w_im-still-having-problems

NOTHING works. I don't get it. Images show with no trouble in Edge. So does Alarm.com.

On YouTube tabs, if Firefox memory usage starts climb (ie. more than 3-4 tabs active), there are janks for a few seconds preventing me from interacting with the YouTube tab. This jank does not happen with other tabs (can even interact normally with other tabs while the YT tab is janking). Attached is a profiler report.
