Ask HN: Are Google products broken on Firefox for you?
For the last 1-2 months, I have had some sort of issue with the following:
* Google Meet -- I can no longer share screen.
* Google Sheets -- Pretty much all context menu options don't do anything (e.g: Conditional Format)
* Google Drive -- Can't reliably download files
Nothing shows up in the console either.
I've tried:
* disabling all extensions
* enabling 3rd party cookies
* making sure JS is enabled
* completely reinstalling Firefox
I am on Mac OS Sonoma 14.6.1
- inquisitor27552 2y agovery broken imo. lots of captchas. lots of bugs. firefox got 3% browser marketshare these days, the only users left of it are those oldfags in stuck culture who cant accept chrome as their new religion. thanks for rust but their overpaid management literally killed the brand.
- not_your_vase 2y ago> I've tried.... If it is FF only problem (and not present w/ Chrome), have you tried installing a user-agent switcher extension, and pretend you are using Chrome? (To answer the question also: I'm an FF user, but only use Gmail web interface sporadically, and Youtube, also rarely. Both works fine nowadays.)
- millzlane 2y agoIf it works in chrome but not Firefox it could be a profile issue with Firefox. Goto About:profiles in the address bar and create a new profile and see if the issue persists in the new profile. Mozilla forums would be a good place to check also.
- easterncalculus 2y agoI have had issues with YouTube constantly buffering video for several months now, only on Firefox.
- uncharted9 2y agoThis stopped for me ever since I disabled uBlock Origin after buying YouTube Premium. So maybe they are intentionally or unintentionally sabotaging video playback with adblockers.
