Firefox Community Forum

I asked this a year ago and never saw a solution (other than 'gee, it should work yet'.) I use the local Windows Hosts file to give my router a quick reference name to get into it. That too has worked for years but began to fail last year. Inconvenient. The best I could track this down, it has something to do with forced DNS lookups and skipping the old Hosts file. If so, any work around to get my system simplicity back? Attached is what I see on each attempt.

I tried various settings for DOH and nothing works. I can reference the Hosts file in a Windows Cmd Prompt and it resolves just fine. Something is screwy in Firefox for some time now and I'd like to know what.

I want to know how to adjust audio (treble/bass balancer) for videos playing in Firefox. Your page at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/control-audio-or-video-playback-your-keyboard#w_what-is-the-media-control-feature refers me to https://specifications.freedesktop.org/mpris-spec/2.2/ but this URL is a 404. Is there another page that might help? Thanks.

Every single time I try to sign into Google, Firefox freezes after I type about 4 letters into the user name box. Hangs and I have to restart. Every. Time. I have to switch over to Chrome to log into Google. It's a real pain in the butt. Anyone else having issues?

Hi! Firefox has been my default broser for many years. I recently started using Biketerra https://biketerra.com/ Whwn I try to start a ride I get the error message shown in the screen shot. 'Your Browser Does Not Support Bluetooth'

Version 133.0.3 (64-bit) Windows 10 Desktop PC Bluetooth Dongle

The browsers reccomended in the screenshot work without any issue.

Is this a known limitation of Firefox, or am I missing a setting somewhere? :-)

THANKS

For a project of mine, I had been researching the T84, but hours later, it turned into a google search tab, I can't press the back arrow to go back either. I don't know if my Firefox is corrupted or not, but if it is, how do I fix it?

Google seems to be "taking" my mail from my Primary Email address: In My (Mozilla) Account Summary, Google is shown as “Secondary email” that I have the option of making “Primary” or tossing in the garbage can, and as “Linked” (“You have authorized access to the following accounts”: Google, with the option to “Unlink.” (I don't remember "authorizing" this.) Google has been “migrating” emails to my gmail address: XXXXXXXXXXX@gmail.com that are now being duplicated at both addresses. Do I need to remove Google as my Secondary email or as “Linked,” or both, to stop this? (Plus, Google seems to be using the Primary Emails to "optimize" advertising at the Gmail address.)

Firefox keeps crashing on me, to the point it is almost unusable. It's about 50-50 whether a tab crashes or the whole program does, but it happens multiple times while trying to do anything online. It happens with nearly every website I visit (Netflix, The Guardian, Google, Duck Duck Go, etc.) For example, it crashed a half a dozen times trying to ask this question.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox, but the frequency of crashes has only increased since then.

I am running Ubuntu Studio.

Following the advice at this page (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-crashes-closing-or-quitting#w_get-help-fixing-this-crash) I tried restarting in Troubleshooting mode, and it still crashed. The next step was to post a question here with a list of crash ID numbers, which are below.

Any ideas are appreciated!

Hi! i opened youtube to watch some videos, but the audio wouldn't play. i checked the volume mixer and firefox isn't putting out any sound at all. I tried playing audio on other sites like netflix and tiktok, but the issue is the same there. it doesn't seem like firefox is registering that any audio is playing, as the little speaker icon does not show up when i hover over the tab. i thought it might have been an issue with my headset but the speakers won't play any sound either. i've tried running firefox in troubleshoot mode but that didn't do anything (i don't really know what to do in that mode, but hey, i figured i'd at least try) Also, i opened the same sites in microsoft edge, and they play the audio just fine. I'd rather not have to use edge for too long though, so any help is appreciated :)

I can no longer access my local TrueNAS server nor router via Firefox. My current version is 133.0.3. Safari has no trouble. Firefox gives no warning, no Advanced button, no option to bypass security. All I get is: "Unable to connect An error occurred during a connection to 192.168.0.102.

   The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
   If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer’s network connection.
   If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the web."

I have tried so many settings, troubleshootings, workarounds, I can't begin to list them. It happens in troubleshooting mode. I have created SSL certificates on the server many different ways to no avail. I'm thinking I will have to abandon Firefox with it's obscure, no-way-through security. But I wanted to ask for help first. Please help.

i recently noticed that my audio is stuttering a little bit on firefox desktop, expecially on youtube. i already tried the app on incognito mode withou any extension enabled, notthing worked. can be the last Nvidia driver? can be a recent (1 month more or less) mozilla update? can you guys help me please? i ve also formatted the whole pc: nothing

I followed the instructions that Eduardo from the Mozilla Support Team sent (see below) and I'm still unable to sign into Mozilla Connect.

"Before signing back into Mozilla Connect, I recommend refreshing your Firefox installation and clearing the cookies and cache for mozilla.org in order to eliminate any potentially faulty configuration files in Firefox, as these may also be causing the connection issue you're experiencing. You can also try opening a Private Window to access Connect."

I've re-linked my Mozilla account with my Google one but I still receive the 401 error when trying to access Mozilla Connect. I have also tried the disabling Windows Defender and Nord VPN & Threat Protection Pro.

I will note that I'm able to access Accounts and Support without issue.

I don't know what else I can do, this seems like I need someone from Mozilla to take action? ---

My original message:

> Whenever I try to access Mozilla Connect and Sign In, I am met with the following page: > > HTTP Status 401 – > type Status Report > Description http.401 > > I think this stems from me disconnecting and closing the account because it didn't register/sign-in through my Mozilla/Firefox account. I want to create a new one that is linked properly.

I've been using FireFox to login to nytimes.com for many years. Recently, the nytimes.com website hasn't been working properly. It works fine using Edge.

Symptoms are: (1) The zoom level at login and the zoom on going from page to page is very inconsistent. (2) Clicking the Account button does not open the account settings page. Instead it causes the screen background to become grey.

I restarted FireFox in troubleshooting mode, but this did not improve the behavior. I have a single extension (Adblock). Disabling Adblock on nytimes.com also did not improve things.

This happens when I click a link in an email or elsewhere. Firefox responds otherwise, I can open links within Firefox. It used to simply open the link in a new tab.

How can the previous behaviour be restored? so I can open a link in an existing FF window?

I have used Firefox for more years than I care to remember, but at the moment I'm forced to use Safari, which is OK but missing several vital features for me like translating Greek web pages!

The problem I have is this:- Whenever My M2 macbook Air running Sonoma 14.7.2 goes to sleep and wake it the screen is flickering and needs a hard restart. After lots of trial and error it appears to be something to do with Firefox version 133.0.3 (aarch64) as it only happens when I leave Firefox running.

I have run the Apple offline diagnostics multiple times immediately after the crash but I never get any reported errors. Interestingly I get no dialog from Apple that my Mac has crashed or needed to be restarted

I have restarted my Mac into safe mode, same problem

I have refreshed Firefox several times, same problem

Any help woulld be much appreciated!

Happy Christmas and a peaceful New Year to you all

Thank you, Peter

I have tried installing extensions on https://addons.mozilla.org. Everything else online works fine, but https://addons.mozilla.org gives me "Download failed. Please check your connection. " after 10 minutes of loading icon. Browsing works fine. I have tried with and without a VPN. It used to work. Other devices, and firefox on dualbooted linux work fine.
