I've use Firefox vpn for some time now. Suddenly any attempt to access a website, including the lovely link to my kindle book suggested by Firefox results in this: Secure Connection Failed

The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified. What can you do about it?

The issue is most likely with the website, and there is nothing you can do to resolve it. You can notify the website’s administrator about the problem. message. Firefox is blocking me with no way around??? Regular firefox now just doesn't download! I want to congratulate your implementation of a security nightmare with zero testing. Please tell you product development and marketing folks that they won't have to worry our reading and acting on any of your advertisements!

I used Pocket for a while. It was excellent since it allowed taking a webpage and converting it to a document that could be copied and pasted to Microsoft word. This allowed further analysis and work on the contents of the page and was extremely useful.

Now that Pocket is gone is there another extension or a purchased extension that does the same thing on the present day Firefox.

I presently use Windows 7 and Windows 10.

Appreciate any suggestions.

I clicked on auto restore previous session about six months ago. The session I had open that day of about 20 (now completely irrelevant) tabs opens every time I open my browser. I have to close them all to start a new work day.

I found a work- around. If I go to History and clicking on Restore Previous Session within the History setting yhis took me to my last session. Now the browser is starting to add additional tabs I had open during that previous day. This is a nightmare - I never have a clear browser. How to stop this? I use my History. I don't want to delete History and clear all of the cache and the browser memory. I have put in a request for help before 2-3 months ago. That was the only suggestion. Some idiot invented this option. The same idiot needs to work out how to fix this bug. (apologies to the volunteers who read this - I appreciate your thoughts).

When I open the Mozilla VPN window I am met with the "Get Started" page. I click the "Get Started" button and sign in. When I get to the "Signed in successfully!" page, it tells me to open the Mozilla VPN window again (it does this for me) and to turn it on and all that. However, when the window is opened again, I am met with the same "Get Started" page from the beginning, leaving me in the endless loop of logging in. I am running a fully updated Windows 11. Could it be an extension I have?

I am experiencing significant stability issues with Firefox. When I use YouTube, the entire browser frequently hangs (becomes unresponsive) and eventually crashes. This does not happen on all websites, but it is consistent when playing video content on YouTube.

  • Symptoms: The browser "stacks" or freezes completely; I cannot click tabs or menus until the browser finally closes/crashes.
  • Extensions: I am currently using extensions like SponsorBlock, uBlock origin. I am unsure if this is the cause, but the issue persists during video playback.
  • Hardware: I am running this on a laptop with an 16gb 4800mhz RAM, i7 12th Gen processor and an RTX 3070 GPU.


  1. Is there a known compatibility issue between current Firefox builds and SponsorBlock or similar video-modifying extensions?
  1. Could this be related to hardware acceleration settings with my NVIDIA GPU?
  1. What steps should I take to provide crash logs to help identify the root cause?

The camera just won't work on google meet. It works on zoom and teams just fine. The camera preview before joining a meeting on google meet also works just fine. Sometimes it works on private mode but not always. It works perfectly on other browsers. I have turned off extensions, removed protections and restrictions, created a whole other user account on my laptop and installed firefox on it just to test it out (without signing in/syncing settings) and it still won't work. It doesn't matter whether I'm signed into a google account or not or if it's my meeting or someone else is the host. On private mode it only works if I'm signed out but again not always. Not sure what's up

I'm really stumped and confused why this would be, but, I'm unable to sign in to my account on one of my devices, though I can access it from other devices.

I have a work computer and a personal computer. I want to have a profile on my personal computer signed into a an account I share on my work computer so I can easily access tabs and history across my these to devices that's separate from my main firefox account attached to my personal email. Got the profile signed in on my personal computer, went to sign in on my work computer and got a message "unexpected error." I attempted to disable the extensions and clear cache at the advice of one thread I saw from years ago but I really have had a heard time finding anyone with this issue at all.

Anyway, any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

First off - love Mozilla's work, thank you all for your efforts!

The problem: I f'd up with the Profiles option. I wanted to set up a Work profile on a new windows laptop associated with a new work email (msta....), and then separately have my personal profile connected to my gmail (mstn...).

Well somehow I managed to make my Work (default) profile connected to my overall Firefox + Google personal profile, and have spent a month in my ignorance saving away settings and bookmarks on this machine. Is there anyway that I can disconnect my Gmail account from the profile Work, and connect it to the secondary profile on the same machine titled 'Mel'? Or will I need to export the last month of bookmarks, implode my Mozilla install on this machine, and start over with new profiles and better practices?

Help, multipass!

Thanks, Mel

I just lost my bookmarks again, it happened a month or so ago as well. Appears to have been due to updates.

I have already followed the recommended ideas of navigating to restore, but there is no date given to restore to.

Just "choose a file comes" up, and that appears to lead nowhere.

I also went about:profiles , and all that was there was the current "cannot be deleted " profile and the option to make a new one, I tried that, it did not restore bookmarks. I need some of tose bookmarks quite badly this time

What more can I do ?
