Forum der Gemeinschaft Firefox

every time I do a search this comes up: with captcha;About this page Our systems have detected unusual traffic from your computer network. This page checks to see if it's really you sending the requests, and not a robot. Why did this happen? I have already uninstalled and did a refresh but nothing works

I routinely check out several local news outlets' websites and for the last 2-3 weeks, since a Firefox update (using FF 156.0.1 (64-bit) on Win11, v25H2, Build 26200.9550) I keep getting a Norton popup box saying "we prevented your connection to <x> because it is a malicious website", where 'X' is either littlestastronaut.com, or something like planted.com (screenshots of Norton popup windows doesn't work). This doesn't happen with any of the other couple dozen websites I visit, just 2 out of the maybe 5 or 6 different news websites I look at. Odd thing is I look up either of these two 'dangerous' websites and they either don't exist or they are some school related website. That popup comes after I have to select either "continue without ads" or go to the FF address bar and disable the ad-blocking for that site, so I'm thinking that there's maybe something in FF that is causing this? It happens on both of these sites whether I check "continue without ads" or disable the FF ad-blocker which doesn't make sense that that 'malicious site' is contained within an ad on the news site because on one I don't disable ads so it shouldn't even come through but still Norton catches it??? Yes, A-I will one day rule the world....ya-right.

WHY DO I KEEP GETTING THIS ERROR???

"The bookmarks and history system will not be functional because one of Firefox's files is in use by another application. Some security software can cause this problem."

I never got this before but now i get this every week. restarting my computer does not fix the problem. this sucks! the article to fix this are way too complicated. how do I fix this? I use Ccleaner and reboot, but that does nit fix the issue either. HELP!

Certain websites can be reached and displayed, however when using their page search, it says access denied on this server. I've tried using another browser but the same message comes up. However, on my phone, and tablets, I have no problem.

This is the message I receive when I try to sign in to my Adobe account online:

Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site.

We can’t connect to the server at auth.services.adobe.com.

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)

How do I check that Firefox has permission to access this page? Or, what else do I need to do to sign in to my account?

Thank you!

Is Webroot a part of Mozilla/Firefox? When Firefox recently updated it began to ask for a Webroot access key and it takes me to this page. I have never signed up for Webroot before.

When I was looking in my Settings, I saw 'Your browser is being managed by your organization' right at the top, what does this mean? Could it perhaps be because of BitDefender, because I've heard people saying it's due to an Antivirus.

I use Adguard app for Windows which causes long page loading times in Firefox due to extended TLS Handshakes. I have installed the Adguard certificate in Firefox, have turned off DOH in Firefox, etc. etc. but, the only way that I can get a page to load in a timely manner is by clicking on "reload current page" twice in Firefox. This is a delay in itself and is very inconvenient. I understand that the incompatibility of Firefox with Adguard is a known problem and am wondering whether Mozilla is working on a solution in cooperation with Adguard?

When I try loading certain sites while using Proton VPN i get the following error message: Server Not Found. If I disable Proton VPN and enable the VPN on Firefox the site come right up. Can someone please tell me why this happens and how I can make these load using Proton VPN?

I'm receiving this message The bookmarks and history system will not be functional because one of Firefox's files is in use by another application. Some security software can cause this problem.

I have been unable to access any secure sites since I installed Norton 360 Antivirus. Whenever I try to access a secure site I receive the reply: Secure Connection Failed Error: PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR I have tried all of the repairs listed on the internet but none have corrected the fault. I have also tried disabling Norton but also without success I have also tried uninstalling and re-installing Firefox but without success Can you suggest any other methods to correct this fault

I have over 100 open tabs spread over 4 Mac desktops. I can no longer access ANY of them after upgrading to macOS Tahoe 26 and installing ESET Cyber Security Pro. I've used ESET with Firefox for many years without ANY problems. But now I have to choose between uninstalling ESET and being unprotected in order to use Firefox AT ALL. Every single webpage is blacked out with the message below. ESET support says that Firefox needs to issue an update to fix this problem.

Avast reports that it has secured the threat of 'addons.mysafe-search.net' which tries to start when i open Firefox. I've been unable to find any reference to the site anywhere on my PC so cannot uninstall it.

RESTORE A TRUSTED RECIPE SITE banned by Mozilla: recipestonourish.com  !

I have been using this site for years. This morning Mozilla ruined it. Please restore, thank you!!
