The page isn’t redirecting properly

Firefox can’t connect to the server at www.dell.com What can you do about it?

The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.

Suddenly Start Page has become my default browser when I open Firefox. Duck Duck Go has always been my default browser. I did not download Start Page. I don't want Start Page. My PC Win 11 is set to use Duck Duck go as the default browser. Why is this happening?

Is it possible to select the DuckDuckGo No-AI: search as a Default Search Engine on the Mozilla browser? I have tried and cannot seem to designate this No-AI option as a default. Thank you in advance. The URL is https://noai.duckduckgo.com/

As in the above question Cannot sign into my lottery account with Firefox. I have to go to Chrome and set up my email address and password every time It used to be easy on Firefox

I am unable to download Gmail attachments, they are getting downloaded without extension and this is happening since last few days.

This didn't use to happen before, tried and tested with multiple emails and multiple attachments, if I refresh the browser and then try immediately it works correctly, but if I leave the browser idle or navitgate through multiple emails then it gets downloaded without extenstion. Tried clearing cache for all websites, still it persists.

Seit Neuestem muss ich mich jeden Tag bei ebay, Facebook, Banksoftware und AOL mit 2 Schritt Authentifizierung anmelden obwohl ich immer anklicke diesem Browser vertrauen. Warum

Each time I open a new tab, it opens in Firefox, instead of my home page. I have my home page set to DuckDuckGo and have tabs set to open to my home page. Each time I click on a new tab, it goes to Firefox and I have to click on the Home icon.

This computer works fine with Firefox, but on my other one it opens to Sorry, we're having trouble getting your pages back. I don't want them back. But Ok, I'll go along with you. Try Start New Session: just buffers. View Previous Tabs? Can't remove the checks. Just buffers. I end up either shutting it down myself through Task Manger (no other way works) or waiting for the popup that Firefox isn't working, what do I want to do? I can't close it with the X. Restarting and shutting down then turning on the computer again didn't do any good.

I had this problem a few months ago, but not as severe. Hard booting worked, and as long as I specifically exited Firefox at the end, with the drop down menu, I could use Firefox. Now I can't use it on my other computer, which is where I prefer to work. I have to use something worse.

Had to restore entire backup image of C: (boot) SSD that was saved on an external USB drive. I had been using FF 156, but the image restored FF 155. My FF profile is always stored on D: (internal HDD).

I launched FF and got a message that my profile was created with a newer version of FF and might not be compatible. The only option was to create a new profile or exit. I created a new profile but when FF opened I had no direct access to my existing profile on D: HDD. It wasn't listed when I clicked the Profiles button on the toolbar.

Came across a site that said to run Start>Run>firefox.exe - P. A box opened that listed both the newly created profile and my existing one on D: HDD. I selected the profile on D: and FF launched without any problems - everything fully restored. So if the existing profile is compatible, why was it so difficult to select it?

How 'bout this..? When FF detects that an existing profile was made with a newer FF version than currently running, why not give the user the option to install the latest FF update on that same message screen, in addition to the option to create a new profile? Then just relaunching FF after the update should allow an existing profile to be selected/used. Obviously existing profiles are compatible with FF updates since everything still works after routine updating.

Exact same thing happened with Thunderbird after reimaging C: because an older version was restored. I tried running thunderbird,exe -P without knowing if that would even work, and it easily allowed me to restore all 5 of my mailbox profiles with thousands of emails that are stored on D: in seconds.

Please make things easier...!

Why is Firefox losing my bookmarks? They're being replaced with a little globe, and they don't work. Also, yesterday's history was lacking at least two-thirds of the sites I visited.

The current version of Firefox is very frustrating to use. It often will not let me enter a password but will send me to the saved passwords. I do not want to put all my passwords on the computer. I have 2 U tube accounts, and the new Firefox will not let me enter the account info directly, but sends me to Google. I have had to resort to using Microsoft Edge out of sheer frustration with Firefox. Previous versions of Firefox did not have these problems
