Network Protocol problems
After the latest Firefox update, some of my sites are returning "Network Protocol" Errors. I can log in on other browsers, but Firefox is the one I normally use.

Please explain the problem in detail. What happens? What are the exact error messages?
I try to go to the site, and I get this message >
Network Protocol Error
An error occurred during a connection to oltx.fidelity.com.
The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because an error in the network protocol was detected.
Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem.
I can open the website on Chrome. I'd just prefer to use Firefox all the time.
You can check the about:serviceworkers page and if there is a service worker registered for this website then unregister that.
You can reload webpage(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
- hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
- press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
- press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
Clear the Cache and remove the Cookies for websites that cause problems via the "3-bar" Firefox menu button (Settings).
"Remove the Cookies" for websites that cause problems:
- Settings -> Privacy & Security
Cookies and Site Data: "Manage Data"
"Clear the Cache":
- Settings -> Privacy & Security
Cookies and Site Data -> Clear Data -> [X] Cached Web Content -> Clear
- https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/clear-cookies-and-site-data-firefox
- https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-clear-firefox-cache
Start Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration or userChrome.css is causing the problem.
- switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Themes
- do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Troubleshoot Mode start window
I'm not sure how to use the troubleshoot mode to solve this problem. Holding the Cont and F5 key just makes the screen blink a million times a minute but didn't allow the page to load. Cleaning the Cache did not help either.
I have this problem on 3 sites. the rest are just fine.

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/diagnose-firefox-issues-using-troubleshoot-mode
Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes), any userChrome.css/userContent.css files, and some other advanced features to help you assess whether these are causing the problem. If the problem goes away, that tells us one thing. If it does not, that tells us something else.
I followed all the steps below, still have problems with multiple sites, every day is a couple new ones, all of them open normally in Edge, Chrome, browsers in the cellphone in every browser, including firefox. This is a desktop app problem, something is taking a toll to the love for Firefox standard and developer editions.

There is security software like Avast, Kaspersky, BitDefender and ESET that intercept secure connection certificates and send their own.

Ok, I tried to go to "No Proxy", that did not work. Trying to start in "trouble shooting" mode did not help. I'm getting the "Network Protocol" message on 3 sites. and I have another site which will not connect now at all. I put in my name and password, the site just "blinks" and goes back to the sign in page, as if I hadn't entered any info at all. No message comes with that. It just "blinks" This is so weird. But this last one I think is the sites' fault as it does this on Google too.

This could be a problem with the TLS 1.3 Early Data feature also known as Zero Round Trip Time Resumption (0rtt). You can try to set security.tls.enable_0rtt_data = false on the about:config page to disable this feature until this is fixed by Google or Mozilla to see if that helps.

Resetting the Security.tis thing did not solve the problem, I need to talk to a Firefox representative in real time.
