I was upgraded to the new FireFox browser on 1/11/22, and it doesn't allow Yahoo! Mail to be accessed by the Google search. I read some of the help suggestions, but I'm not sure how to fix this. The error that appears is: PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR

   Please, what do you recommend?

Thank You, Dave

There can be two possibilities: one is that the server is outdated and doesn't support modern cipher suites, another might be that the server only supports a few cipher suites and Firefox doesn't support any of these.

Also, the same error displays when I type in "Gmail" or "gmail". Something is malfunctioning with the URL box or text box for Google queries. Please note that there is no problem when using the MS-Edge browser.

Fred McD and crew, Thank you all, so much! "radi.stoyanov said Turns out the option DNS over HTTPS is what caused the problem." -- that was exactly correct. So, I opened FireFox, opened Settings, then went down to Network Settings, clicked "Settings", and then un-checked "DNS over HTTPS" and clicked "OK". I exited the Settings, selected my YAHOO! bookmark, and FireFox opened it properly. Thank You Very Much, Fred McD., Radi, and the others who provided comments & suggestions.
