Firefox Community Forum

I recently switched from Debian to Fedora Workstation. Everything works fine, even better under Fedora, except Firefox. There is this quirk, where whenever I wake up my system from suspension, and I try to search something, Firefox just shows a loading sign as if it was loading the page, but I see via the inspect tool that it isn't even sending any HTTPS requests to the server. I know this problem specifically affects Firefox, because other programs that require an internet connection, such as fetching mail via Thunderbird or installing packages via DNF work completely fine. In order to get Firefox to actually work, I have to completely close and reopen the application, forcing me to lose unsaved work in some cases. I've tried everything, from restarting my machine to waiting to see if it will be patched in a future update, but nothing has gotten better. Please help me. Thank you in advance.

I'm not a tech savvy user. Although I am using a personal network could Mozilla be interfering with the link of my Linux computer to the HP printer? Any suggestions on how to remedy this?

Does any one know how to cure this issue?

Hi, For a few weeks/months, connecting or disconnecting my Proton VPN makes Firefox not to browse. I must restart Firefox to be able to browse again. This problem does not reproduce every time, but it does multiple times a day. Are you aware of this problem? Thank you for any help. Regards, François

Hello, I've been using Firefox for years, but last couple months or so - it's been losing Internet connection - I have to stop and restart it and all ok - somtimes for 5 mins - sometimes for 15 or so - but it's doing my head in :) Any help appreciated - Thanks

It was working just fine, and suddenly it stopped working. I hadn't rebooted my computer for over a month, and accidentally popped the circuit breaker the computer was connected to, so it rebooted for the first time in a long time. No other issues except Firefox will not connect to the internet when Proton VPN is running, but Firefox works just fine when the VPN is turned off.

I updated to the latest version of Firefox, so I assume that's the same thing as reinstalling it.

Proton VPN allows you to do what they call "split tunneling", where some browsers are excluded from the VPN (Firefox) and other browsers are always behind the VPN (everything else). I use Firefox as a secondary backup browser when the VPN is a problem and I don't want to turn it off.

I ran the Firefox "Safe Mode" and that failed to connect as well. I don't think it's the VPN? But maybe?

Any help appreciated, and thanks in advance.

Hi. I have a Dell Inspiron, it’s a few years old, and my computer is running windows. Today I was on a website, doing my assignments as usual when randomly the internet stopped working on the browser (I was on the web for about an hour before this). There was no change to my behavior, I had been on the same site for the whole hour, and had been interacting with the site during that time. My computer still says it’s connected to the internet, and I was even able to play an online game on my computer that I had downloaded, so it looks like my computer is connected to the internet. I’ve tried to clear my cache and open private windows but that didn’t help.
