Ask HN: Are Google products broken on Firefox for you?

8 points by petargyurov 10 hours ago

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

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.)

    If 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.

I have had issues with YouTube constantly buffering video for several months now, only on Firefox.
