Firefox Cannot Consistently Access a Web Site

My desktop Firefox (version 155.0.1) has recently became unable to consistently access the Web site at this Web site this Web site. Chrome successfully accesses the site 100% of the time. Firefox's connection failures are intermittent, unpredictable, and usually go away on their own after varying time intervals (sometimes can't connect for up to 24 hours). I see status messages saying Firefox is trying to connect to the site, but it eventually gives up and times out.

I cleared the Firefox cache, but that had no effect. I don't recall making any significant changes to the Firefox settings lately. Any suggestions on what to look at/try would be greatly appreciated.

(Yes, I know the site doesn't use https: Its protocol is outside my control).

There is seriously something wrong with the way Firefox operates. There is nothing wrong with the following site so why am I seeing this message?

Be careful. Something doesn’t look right.

Firefox spotted a potentially serious security issue with news.sky.com. Someone pretending to be the site could try to steal things like credit card info, passwords, or emails.

news.sky.com has a security policy called HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), which means that Firefox can only connect to it securely. You can’t add an exception to visit this site. Advanced What makes the site look dangerous?

The site is set up to allow only secure connections, but there’s a problem with the site’s certificate. It’s possible that a bad actor is trying to impersonate the site. Sites use certificates issued by a certificate authority to prove they’re really who they say they are. Firefox doesn’t trust this site because its certificate isn’t valid for news.sky.com. The certificate is only valid for: . What can you do about it?

Responsive layout issue in Firefox on smaller screens (13" laptop and mobile) vs. 24" desktop

Hi everyone,

I'm facing an issue with website screen responsiveness in Mozilla Firefox. A site that is supposed to be fully responsive and mobile-friendly displays properly on my 24" desktop monitor (photos, alignment, and overall design look fine). However, when opening the exact same URL in Firefox on a 13" laptop screen or a mobile device, the visual design breaks—layouts overlap and images get distorted.

Has anyone encountered this issue in Firefox with certain display scales or viewport media queries? Is there a known fix or setting in Firefox (or layout tweak) to resolve this layout breakdown on smaller screens? Any advice or troubleshooting steps would be greatly appreciated!

Could someone please guide me on where I should look or which files/settings I should check to find the form’s destination email?

After recent Firefox update in v 154, saved passwords do not auto-fill in all websites. Actually, not even the username is loaded. I tried to open in troubleshoot mode and didn't work too. I tried to log out and re-login and fixed for a while only. Then same issue re-occurred. In websites where I have multiple accounts it's too hard to find the proper one. In the Settings > Passwords everything is enabled.

I have always used Firefox to access my account with Spectrum.net, until the past few days, when my login has been rejected, repeatedly. Talking to a Spectrum tech rep, she told me to try to log in using Chrome. I tried it, and had no trouble changing my password and then logging in to my account. The tech rep concluded that the problem therefore lies with Firefox. Does Firefox need to be re-set somehow? Thanks! Hollis Barber

Whenever I hold down the mouse button or space bar to speed up a video by 2x, it seems to let out a small crackle / pop, it wouldn't be as annoying if it only happened one time but it happens practically anytime I do it, sometimes it's when I first press it down, and sometimes it's when I let go.

I've been using Firefox for years and never had this issue until like 3-4 days ago I'd say, and it's a small thing but it adds up constantly and makes the experience fairly annoying, I tested the audio on google chrome extensively and it doesn't seem to happen there so I have to assume it's a Firefox issue.

Would love to see if there's a way to fix this.

Bonjour,

Depuis le 4 août à 14h30, Google Meet ne parvient plus à accéder à la caméra de mon ordinateur portable lorsque j’utilise Firefox ou Chrome. Un message me demande d’autoriser l’accès à la caméra dans Windows, mais les autorisations sont bien activées.

Il est important de préciser que Google Meet fonctionne parfaitement avec Microsoft Edge, avec la même caméra et sur le même ordinateur et que Teams fonctionne avec Firefox.

Par ailleurs, jusqu’au 4 août à 9h30, Google Meet fonctionnait normalement avec Firefox et avait bien accès à ma caméra.

Il semble donc qu’une mise à jour effectuée entre ces deux horaires, soit de Google Meet, soit de Windows 11 (version 25H2), ait pu modifier ou bloquer l’accès à la caméra pour Firefox et Chrome.

Actuellement, je suis donc obligé d’utiliser Teams pour faire mes réunions.

Pourriez-vous m’indiquer comment résoudre ce problème et, si possible, vérifier s’il s’agit d’un problème connu lié à une récente mise à jour ?

Je vous remercie par avance pour votre aide.

Cordialement,

Dominique Turpin

Seemingly any program that has links that when clicked there, redirect and open a new tab in your browser just, do nothing now that I've swapped to Firefox? No indication or response on Firefox, it just acts like nothing happened. I don't even know why something this simple would break, let alone what WOULD break it.

Firefox has recently started turning itself off. There is a failure message and it self-reports the issue. However it will do this without any website loaded, it just fails to continue running without a website being loaded. This happens everyday. The application will not continue to run just by being an open application with an empty about:newtab This is very frustrating.

One of the more particular habits I have retained after switching from Chrome to Firefox is putting things in Tab Groups. This works great on Chrome as groups are more-or-less visual, and don't make a mess once you've closed them. On Firefox, however, I've noticed one really annoying thing: tab groups are saved in a giant list. Part of my workflow results in making Tab Groups with the same name as some of my bookmarks. When using the address bar to go to the bookmark will result in the tab group of the same name being brought up. For various purposes, this is decidedly unhelpful. In addition, when using the "Recent Tab Groups" drop down, it is rather annoying to see an entire screen's worth of tab groups being saved, especially when they all have the same(ish) name.

Is there a way to disable this saving of tab group names (and contents)? Clearing it out manually gets very annoying.
