I'm using Firefox on Mint Cinnamon and have no such issue. maybe check the plug-in (Settings -> EXtensions & Themes -> Plugins). Maybe you need to manually update.
for what's worth: My plug-in is set to “always activate”, and “allow atomatic updates” is set to default. Current version is 4.10.2891.0 last updated on April 17, 2025
someone on reddit says that "KDE Neon ... sometimes breaks with KDE updates", so maybe an update caused the plugin to stop working, and you need to manually re-install it.
You can buy lossless digital music from your favorite Japanese artists on https://ototoy.jp/.
The songs are all DRM-free and you can re-download your purchased albums as you wish.
Show your support to your favorite artist if you can!
ps. if you are looking for Japanese albums, you have to search it in Japanese (not romaji). Just copy and paste the name.

I think that I had a similar problem on Firefox and then I moved over to Brave. Firefox is a second-rate browser with woke developers anyway. Pandering to the mythical modern audience (more evidence of their woke antics have already been reported online) for years, possibly six years now, instead of fixing errors day and night.

You know Firefox is second rate with some bug being present. Run by corporate sellouts too so they can kiss my ass.

PCs have been watching streams since 1998, it was one of the first things that set it apart from TV. Even Gates pointed this out in early interviews. Now Linux cant even do that!?!

Linux eternally BTFO!!! πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚





Guys, it's time to fork over the hundy, install Windows, and come play games with the rest of us.

Stop using your browser as a video player and install MPV like a civilized person.

@Kurt_Irving Yeah...Because being "woke" for sure has something to do with it being a shit browser.

Anyway, no idea what to say, other than I hope you ended up looking this shit up somewhere where people know what they're talking about. Personally, I've used the browser for years with zero issues.

@FanofAction Firefox literally scams you to help fund woke foundations.
It was a few years back, there was a section on their website asking for donations to "help them build Firefox", but if you did a lot of digging on the donation webpage you would find another webpage where they said that they would donate all that money to some foundation that helped women get into coding. So yes, being woke is making them keep less money to make their browser less crap.

@Sasbyek You can say it's a scam or whatever, but saying that helping women get into coding is woke/bad is a dumb take. Criticize how it was done if you want, but there's nothing wrong with that goal. Dudes don't own the rights to coding...I love how every time you guys dislike something you automatically jump to using that word as if you're incapable of criticizing anything without crying "woke".

Woke is collectivism + equality/diversity. The Firefox thing very clearly fits that.

@FanofAction It is dumb because most women don't want to get into coding, will use an example, in my country 59% of college students are women, and despite that when I went to college to study Computer Science in 2019 only 5 out of 36 students on the same class as me were women (2 of them dropped out by the second semester) and the college's Computer Science coordinator said that was the most women she had even seen in a Computer Science class. My college also had degrees for you to become lawyers, dentists and nurse, and those degrees had about 70% women, and all IT degrees had almost 90% men.

If women want to get into coding there is nothing holding them back, the reason that there are not a lot of women in coding is because they don't want to. I, someone that has a computer science degree now know that CC degree is BS and that you can get the same level of knowledge with just YouTube and random forums, so those women do not need any kind of foundation with scammed money to help them to get into coding.
