Firefox Community Forum

I'm trying to access my https://mypay.dfas.mil account, but, though previously all was well, now an error message tells me that you "can't connect to the server".

I have a network connection, but apparently Firefox may no longer have "permission to access to the web". I'm sure this is wrong because I can still access pretty much everything in the normal way, including other government sites, such as Social Security, using the Login.gov portal, though mypay is not listed as 'connected.'

What happened, and how do I fix it? Also, the error message says that I should "Check that Firefox has permission". How do I do that?

Mailfence.com is my email provider. I've been with them for years. Two weeks ago I am suddenly unable to connect with the website. My ISP is Comcast. My next door neighbor also uses Comcast. He can get to mailfence.com just fine. Can you please help with this issue. Comcast has declined to provide any help. Thanks.........Bob Horning

When saving images from websites using the save image as feature, Firefox will freeze up and not register any mouse click or anything instead making a ding noise every time is register a mouse click. This will continue for like 30 seconds before it becomes normal then it will repeat this for every image. How can I solve this?

Is there a way to make the URL high lighting of the domain more obvious? I find that most people can barely see the highlighting and I'd like to make it obvious (bolder and red, or highlighted in yellow, for instance.)

Can this be done via userchrome.css?

Thanks,

Thane

I get a message "We Encountered an Error" Please restart your application to try again. It continues to pop up (only when I'm in Firefox) and I click the button "close" and can continue until it pops up again. This just started today. Is there anyway to get this to stop?

I get the USPS informed delivery emails that show what mail is arriving daily. Whenever I click the "dashboard" link, I get:

Bad Request

Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand. Size of a request header field exceeds server limit. If I go to the site, and click a link, the same thing happens. This doesn't happen with Chrome where links function normally. So, I think there must be a setting somewhere preventing me from accessing the links. I tried turning off "Block pop-up windows," but that had no effect.

Thanks, Ed

I keep constantly crashing, multiple times. Here are my latest crash IDs:

For the past few weeks Firefox has been crashing and freezing often. Crashes are worst when trying to access Protonmail, which almost always crashes the tab instantly. Freezes happen most often when browsing Reddit, and also when watching Youtube, but crashes and freezes can happen on almost any website.

I have tried changing profiles, refreshing and uninstalling/reinstalling, but the problem persists and seems to be getting worse over time.

Here are some recent crash reports:

Will be grateful if someone can help me get to the bottom of this Thanks

How do I get my $10 gift card?

I have Express VPN and use Firefox as my default browser. This morning I cancelled the autorenewal of Macafe and uninstalled it from my HP Laptop. Now I cannot access the internet if the VPN is activated - using Firefox or Edge. Thank you

On ubuntu oracular 24.10, when firefox is launched, it tries to open a UDP listening port on all network interfaces which is not acceptable on many levels:

/usr/bin/netstat -tunpevaW|grep firefox udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:48654 0.0.0.0:* 1000 881247 178766/firefox

Is this behavior specific to Ubuntu or is it implemented by design? This must be a no go by design: if it needs a UDP port for some reason, it has to open it on the **loopback interface (127.0.0.1)** only.

I just purchased a year subscription for the Mozilla VPN. I want to be able to verify that the FireFox browser I'm using is accessing the web via the VPN. How do I verify that? I don't see any icon indicated that it's a VPN connection.
