Firefox Community Forum

I was trying to go to ssa.gov, today, and hit the button to login. When I did that, I got a 400 page saying: Bad Request

Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand. Size of a request header field exceeds server limit.

I have done this before, and it worked. To test if it was a problem with the web page or the browser, I did it from another browser (Brave), and it loaded fine. Is Firefox sending a bad request? Is this something you can fix.

I am using Mozilla Firefox for Linux Mint 137.0.1 (64 bit).

Trying to open my doctor's patient portal and I get a "Secure connection failed" Page. So I start Google Chrome and the website comes up like a charm. You people NEED TO GET THIS CR*P FIXED soon. As much as I hate to, I will make Chrome my default browser if this stuff continues for much longer.

Why does Firefox intermittently fail to connect to the Newsmax website? I get a Secure Connection Failed message. It happens only occasionally, but enough to be an annoyance. What's the problem and how do I resolve it?

when i go to a site using firefox i get this message:

Today, out of approximately 31 attempts to connect to Amazon or (once connected to Amazon) navigate to a new Amazon page, Firefox succeeded 14 times. 14 out of 31 is good in baseball, poor in basketball, and unacceptable in connecting and browsing. Here is the "error" according to Firefox:

An error occurred during a connection to www.amazon.com. PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR

Error code: PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR

I have read the potential solutions to this problem. I did disconnect my VPN (Proton) and was able to connect to Amazon on my next attempt. However, that was atypical rather than typical - when I attempted to move from one Amazon page to another Amazon page, the END OF FILE ERROR was the result. Further attempts to reconnect to Amazon have succeeded 3 out of 11 times. Yes, I did close Firefox and reopen it, I am signed in to my Firefox/Mozilla account and I did reboot my laptop. I have yet to try the other solutions because I want to be a good Mozilla client and follow the instructions attached to the error message: "Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem." I have contacted Amazon and am now waiting to hear back from someone in the Technical Department. I am skeptical that Amazon will be able to resolve this because I doubt that Amazon is to blame (this lack of connectivity has also happened with Google, GMail and a couple other sites that I can't recall at the moment.

To clarify, the received data of supposed questionable authenticity has been my login information on the official Amazon login page and also simply the data from an Amazon product page (bike locks mostly)

For me, this is only a problem with Firefox. It is NOT happening on Bing, and even Chrome is able to connect without the END OF FILE ERROR. I have occasionally encountered other instances where Firefox would not connect me but the other browsers would. Most notably, this happens often when trying to connect my laptop with my phone via Bluetooth and other times when I'm asked to sign in to Google or sign in to my Microsoft account. On those occasions, Firefox demands that I insert my original security key from an external flash drive. I would be glad to do so, but I've never had an original security key on an external flash drive. At those times, I attempt the identical login using Bing (success about 9 out of 10 times) or Chrome (success every time).

I am not a cyber guru and am not even technically gifted with computer technology and internet knowledge. I am self-taught and am mediocre (at best) in these areas, so I'm hoping that the blame for this issue is mine as opposed to Firefox being at fault.

I look forward to any advice, suggestions or resolution to this issue and I thank in advance any who reply.

I am on an HP Probook 650 G2, Windows 10 Pro Build 22H2 (HP states that this laptop cannot be upgraded to 11), Firefox version 137.0 (64-bit), Xfinity WiFi 5G, Arris SB8300 Router/Modem. All are functioning as intended except Firefox.

Be Well

Trying to search on Firefox is now 70% impossible. Keep getting error code: Secure Connection Failed

"An error occurred during a connection to www.google.com. PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR

What is going on with this? I even get this code when I try to search on how to reset ALL settings back to factory default. What can be done??

Hardly any webpages load anymore. Constantly getting error message. Do not get those messages with Microsoft Edge or Chrome. Can't search for financial institutions, car part stores or hardly anything anymore. I don't believe Firefox can be trusted anymore. Is their a Data Breech in progress with them? I am tired of seeing:

What is the problem? I have written about this before and NEVER get a response. Is it really time to just switch browsers? I have noticed when Firefox won't work Microsoft Edge and Chrome works just fine. What is the deal here?

I have never has this happen. What is the problem and how do I fix it?

I keep getting this when I click on a highlited site I believe is an ad search and so I can't access that specific site. What do I need to do to access the site?

Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site.

We can’t connect to the server at ad.doubleclick.net.

If you entered the right address, you can:

   Try again later
   Check your network connection
   Check that Firefox has permission to access the web (you might be connected but behind a firewall)

Secure connection failed and Firefox did not connect message. Why? Received when trying to sign on to sbcglobal but that has changed. Rude sbc agents said it was a Firefox problem. I am trying to save 25 years of family research.

Why am I no longer able to access 'allmusic.com on this browser?

'Hi,

On sites I have visited for years. It says to contact website owner, but I can't get on the website.

Any advice on what I can do?
