I have been having trouble opening many web pages on Mozilla Firefox. Eventually I get the dreaded "The Connection was Reset." I have tried updating the browser, resetting Firefox, disabling extensions, opening in Safe Mode, but these do not work. The only thing that seems to work is if I close out the browser completely, reopen it again, go to this same web page again and it will open. Please help. It is very frustrating to have this continually happen. Many web pages open right away, but many have this same problem on my PC. I have updated to the latest version at the moment, 33.0. I have a Dell PC running Windows XP. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I'd rather not have to start using Internet Explorer. Thanks for your help. This even occurs when I go to update Firefox. No data is transmitted. So I quit Firefox, reopen it, and then the download works.

I hope to get some direction with FF crashes, I am getting between 10 & 20 crashes per month. Just recently it's gone crazy. I never get any response from crash reports submitted???

I have been printing shipping labels from PayPal for several years now, almost everyday and this just started Oct 16th or 17th. I can no longer print shipping labels using FireFox. The small window opens up and then hangs with a message Please wait....processing. I CAN print the same label using Chrome. I have reset Firefox, uninstalled and reinstalled it, updated to the latest and greatest Java and Adobe reader, disabled the firewall, but can't seem to get it to work.

Been using Yahoo as my home page for years and years and all of a sudden it's a problem. I can open it easily on Safari browser even though I don't have an Apple computer. So the problem has to be with Firefox, not Yahoo. I've read all of your solutions, tried troubleshooting them, and it still doesn't work. I contacted Yahoo and they haven't responded, probably because the problem isn't on their end, but on Firefox.

Please fix or I will have to stop using Firefox as my primary browser.

I visit sites that have local ssl certificates installed (self signed), typically I get the warning about this, accept, confirm, etc. All used to be good. I just now received an update to FF to 33.0, now none of these sites work. (I'm in the Beta channel) I'm getting: error code: sec_error_invalid_key

The sites in question, are all mine, and work well on other browsers.

A year ago, I had a video freezing problem. disabling hardware accelorator appeared to work, but doesn't work now for same exact problem. tried other solutions that were suggested a yer ago. Nothing work. It appeared that the video problem fixed itself. This is very fustrating that this is happening again and makes me believe that firefox never solved the initial problem after a year

hello,

Attention English is not my mother tongue. So I'll be in my basic communication. How to prevent the bar from appearing? http://getwebb.org/d/r0LLeoBw

I tried with plugins.notifyMissingFlash and plugins.hideMissingPluginsNotification but nothing happens.

Kind regards.

Why is it that after FF 33 HTML5 has been taking insane amounts of CPU? I'm using 33.1 and removing HTML5 from being default player removed almost half of the CPU use (even with flash-player active) and cut Firefox's CPU use to fraction.

That said, multiple tabs and pages with many pics still take far more CPU than with 32.03. KK

I read the information given on the site about enabling Java Script, but it does not work. Under my tools/options menu, the site's instructions say to click on Firefox. There is no title of Firefox in my options box. Going through the list of General, Tabs, Content, Applications, Privacy, Security, Sync and Advanced, there is nothing under any of them titled Preferences or any box that says to enable anything. How do I enable Javascript for Firefox 33?

Part of my living is reviewing YouTube videos- I can't play any without this. Please help me. Thank you

I have not been able to open target or walmart websites for weeks in Firefox and now IE and Chrome as well ( all the latest versions updated). I have run various ( about 10 diff) malicious software removal tools from Microsoft,Spybot, malwarebytes, Mc Afee, Avast etc.... done manual registry key removal and restarts. and got a lovely 4-you.net redirect problem as a result and STILL cannot access those sites. My restore points only go back 3 days now ( how'd that happen?) so that's a bust. I want to throw this PC out a window. Anyone have a clue to what I am dealing with?

In this site http://www.thepressproject.gr/ I can't open the links in new tabs, while for the same site using chrome I can. When I right click on the link, i don't have the usual options (open in new tab, open in new window, bookmark etc.). It is as if it doesn't "see" the links at all and the options are for the main page. What is wrong? (I am sorry for my english, I hope I make sense!)

I'm putting up new images that open upon clicking my thumbnails. They are zooming to about 300%, even after I change the sizes. they don't do this on any other browser. What can be done about this? It's making my large views look blurry and out of focus and most people don't know enough to zoom out. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

PS: I just changed hosting platforms if that's any help

Since the last 5 or so firefox update, i notice i am unable to open folder files in the browser window on most of the websites i have been on. Therefore if i need to upload a file on a website when i click the open folder button on the website, i am not seeing the folder window open with all my files on my computer that i need to select. Instead i have to use another browser to do all my uploads, and that breaks my momentum. How can this be corrected?

I would like to spawn a new instance of Firefox in a new window from a script file (python on MS windows 7) and then wait till the user closes the the Firefox window to continue the execution of my script. There are some things I have to do in my script only after Firefox has closed. (I have to do the same for IE and Chrome).

As a test, I tried to start Firefox manually on the command line with various options and have not hit on the right options. I can get Firefox to open in a new window fine (-new-window option) but could not get it to wait for the window to close to return execution to the cmd window - it would return as soon as the Firefox window was opened.

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Command_Line_Options mentions a -fwait command line option but does not describe it and I didn't see any effect when I tried to use it (if I was using it correctly).

Any ideas?

When I try to log into HTTPS://WEBMAIL.FRONTIER.COM, I get the following message; 'Can't confirm connection is secure'. Tech Details - Login.Yahoo.Com uses an invalid security certificate. When I logon using Explorer, I have no problems.

I had 3 windows with TONS of very important tabs. After performing a Mac OS upgrade/update to Yosemite, the normal Session Restore option seems to have been cleared out and doesn't re-load all my previous windows/tabs. It's CRITICAL I'm able to restore to that previous session.

I know there must be a way to restore to a prior day/date, but I can't find any clear instructions on how to do this on my MacBook Pro, again, running the newly downloaded Mac OS X Yosemite, Version 10.10.1. Thank you VERY much for your assistance!!

I have had Skype installed along with Firefox.Both were and I believe receint ones. I have tried to activate Skype,BUT I am unable to hear anyone that is speaking to me. I have checked all the Sype activators and they all seem to work I can see the mic working,I can see the speaker working,BUT nothing is coming out of the speaker. I am using Windows 7 with the latest Mozilla. I have checked all the plug ins and they all look ok,so my question is,why wont the system work and what have I done wrong. I am now stumped and do hope that some one can assist me.

Thanks in advance

This just started very recently. I tried following all the fixes on your help pages that were concerned with this but only got confused & it didn't help. The only extensions I'm using are AdBlock, a security scan, the "pin it" button, & your "trouble shooter." I don't have a lot of plugins, and even fewer that are set at "always activate."

And, on my Task Manager, or so I'm told, everything looks pretty normal.

But I continue, again, just recently, run into the exact symptoms you delineate in your "too much CPU" page: pages saying (not responding) then seizing up completely, or the scroll bar stops working, and clicking on items has no effect.

I don't have anything new on this machine, and the problem keeps getting worse and worse, happening more and more often.

Can you help?

Thank you!
