I'm using Flatpak Firefox (version 131.0.3) and it keep freezing especially on sites like YouTube. How do I transfer my bookmarks and passwords to an earlier version of FF without using Sync? in c/[email protected]

Interesting, I have never tried this before.

I'll try out your solution and get back to you.

For me sites like YouTube, Rumble, Odysee, and Bitchute work but unfortunately this version of flatpak Firefox is giving me problems.

It uses Google's Chromium engine, that's the problem.

I appreciate your recommendation but I'm boycotting Google and as much of its tech as possible—that's why I was using Firefox.

I'm going to use this guide to downgrade Firefox to something around version 127 or below because I did not have this issue with earlier versions of FF.

Btw where does Firefox store crash logs? I typed "about:crashes" in the URL bar but it says that "No crash reports have been submitted". I have also used journalctl to find these errors but I'm not sure how relevant they are:

org.mozilla.firefox.desktop[15004]: Exiting due to channel error.

org.mozilla.firefox.desktop[49355]: [Parent 2, Main Thread] WARNING: g_strv_length: assertion 'str_array != NULL' failed: 'glib warning', file /builds/worker/checkouts/gecko/toolkit/xre/nsSigHandlers.cpp:187

I get that but up until this week, this wasn't a problem—posts used to show up at the top of the page within 3-5 minutes. Today it took two hours.

The posts eventually did show up at the top after two hours and receiving 8 or 9 upvotes.

This delay wasn't always there. Just last week, the posts would show up at the top after 3-5 minutes.

In case people might get the wrong idea, I only post pics/clips of female martial artists who who have given me their permission. I do not steal content from Instagram.

Sorting algorithm problem. I made three posts in my community today, after 50 minutes, two of them showed up at the top of the page while the last one is stuck under a 6-day-old post even though... in c/[email protected]

In case anyone here disagrees with the content that's posted on c/kickasswomen, I only post pics/clips of women who have given me their consent; I don't steal anyone's content and post it against their will.

...it has the same amount of upvotes as one of the posts I made today.

What's the issue here? Why won't the last post show up at or near the top of the page?

Thank you, this resolved my issue.

I read the wiki and changed "Hardware-accelerated decoding" to "VA-API video decoder".

My original problem was caused by the fact that this was set to automatic, now that it's set to "VA-API video decoder" VLC is able to play mp4 files again without any issues.

I disabled hardware acceleration and VLC is able to play mp4 files again; however, is there a way to turn on hardware acceleration without getting these errors?

Update:

Changing “Hardware-accelerated decoding” to “VA-API video decoder” fixed the issue. Now VLC is able to play mp4 files with hardware acceleration without any issues.

Tried it. I don't think there's anything to upgrade:

I'm using Debian 12, Ryzen 7 5700X processor, and Radeon HD 5450 graphics card. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling VLC but it didn't resolve the issue. Here's an excerpt from the VLC's log file:

glconv_vaapi_x11 error: vaDeriveImage: operation failed

main error: video output creation failed

main error: failed to create video output

avcodec info: Using G3DVL VDPAU Driver Shared Library version 1.0 for hardware decoding

How do I resolve this issue?

New posts that have been around for an hour aren't appearing in my community when sorted by 'Hot'. They can however be seen if I change the sorting to 'New'. This issue just appeared today (lemmy.world)
