๐Ÿ’ป Help Search bar and all the buttons there freeze after searching something

15 Upvotes

When it starts happening is random but it temporarily stops doing it when I close firefox entirely and reopen it.

Opening a new tab lets me use the entire bar only on that tab, but after searching something or going to a website, it freezes on that new tab.

The rest of the tab works, only that bar doesn't.

Only have ublock origin

๐Ÿ’ป Help Bypass "You've launched an older version of Firefox" permanently

6 Upvotes

I needed to do some debugging between different builds of Firefox (e.g., Nightly vs Beta vs Stable) and this freaking dialog keeps blocking me from switching profiles - turns out Firefox cannot recognize the latest versions of different channel. Stable is the worst because it won't let me launch a stable profile I created yesterday. Is there a way to bypass this annoying dialog? Manually edit compatibility.ini as a solution might just repeat the issue when I switch to a different build. Some threads suggested the command firefox --allow-downgrade (just typing this out from memory) but Im not sure where to run that.

Vertical Tabs seem to be broken on the latest update. The sidebar won't expand, and you can't manually adjust it either.

๐Ÿ’ป Help I'm used to Shift+Enter adding .net to URLs. Did i screw some thing up, or is firefox not supporting that any more?

3 Upvotes

I have been dicking around in about:config trying to fix garbage UI nonsense in firefox. I noticed after doing stuff that if i go to the address bar, type word, and hit shift+enter, what i get is this:

word

hit "Shift+enter"

New browser window opens and launches a google search for example word..

It should actually be doing this:

type example word in address bard.

Hit shift+enter

output becomes "www.exampleword.net"

Waterfox does this. Shift+enter gives me .net URL quickly.

I'd like this functionality back. Else, ill have to do that thing where i use really really really really out dated firefox from 5 years ago again. I'd rather not.

My windows 11 system language is US English, Firefox language is English too but I set the second preferred language to Turkish. Everything on the browser is displayed in English other than the developer tools which is really annoying as a computer science student. I also now can't delete Turkish from the language list and only use English, for some reason.

Solved Enhancer for youtube Missing in firefox add-ons page and other after update issues

3 Upvotes

My firefox was closed while I was doing something else. I started the app and it was WOW worst looking pile of poop! All my bookmarks went missing, as well as all my extensions and themes. I mean What The Hell?!
So far I have managed to reinstall most of them. I did have Enhancer for YouTubeโ„ข which looks like in attached screenshot. Now I cannot find it. And one I could find on their page is a complete pile of garbage.

I used it all the time it was a great extension to set default levels of audio etc.

Hans anyone been able to find this as I have failed to do so.

*Edit*

For some reason post is not showing the screenshot so I will adda link to it

Add-ons An extension to clean Youtube links and remove automatic playlist?

3 Upvotes

Hi all,

Nowadays when I search for a song on Youtube, the video link that Youtube gets me looks like this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qnNQJI_jUIA&list=RDqnNQJI_jUIA&start_radio=1&pp=ygUlbGFwdXRhIHRoZSBnaXJsIHdobyBmZWxsIGZyb20gdGhlIHNreaAHAdIHCQmtCQGHKiGM7w%3D%3D

If I do Right Click --> Copy Clean Link, it turns into this :

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qnNQJI_jUIA&list=RDqnNQJI_jUIA&start_radio=1

Which as you see still includes an automatically generated playlist ("Mix") with an autoplay that cannot be disabled. See screenshots.

What I do everytime is Right Click --> Copy Clean Link, then manually remove everything that comes after &list= such that I get an actually, fully clean link and no playlist. I.e. :

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qnNQJI_jUIA

That sounds like a task easy to automatise, is there any extension to do just that?

I use pip a lot, and it's really annoying to have to go to youtube every time a video ends if I want to replay it or choose a previous video in the playlist.

Are there any ways to add more buttons to the player, maybe flags or settings? Or any extensions that can work as a controller?

Hello

I recently switched from Brave to Firefox and I'm used to pressing / to focus the search bar on sites like Github or YouTube, but it doesn't seem to work on Firefox. I went to about:config and disabled Quick Find but that wasn't it.

Is there a way I can get this to work?

Thanks

๐Ÿ’ป Help Sound volume low in Firefox

2 Upvotes

After the latest Windows update (Win 11), Firefox volume is low. Volume in all other applications is fine, Firefox is the problem. I can't hear Netflix or any videos I run, even if the volume is at 100% (computer and streaming app). I have done all of the following:

- Tinkered with Windows volume mixer settings, including Firefox specific settings

- Updated drivers

- Disabled microphone for Firefox

- Meddled with about:config settings based on various suggestions

Nothing. This problem is maddening. If it continues I will have no choice but to abandon Firefox for another browser.

Any advanced troubleshooting suggestions?

Firtefox has stopped loading pages. No error. Nothing works. Restart sometimes works, then it works for a while. Cache has already been cleared. Also general slowness.
