Firefox Support Forum

Yesterday, 2/4/23, all of a sudden Firefox won't connect to any websites. I push a shortcut button, or type in a website and the address shows in the address bar and in the tab the dot bounces left and right showing it's trying to connect but it never connects. I have no idea what caused it. There were no updates of windows or anything else. Ice Dragon web browser, based on firefox, MS edge, chrome, Brave, all work. Anyone have any ideas where to start troubleshooting? Thanks, Darren

Hi!

I suddenly started to get the whole posts in a pop-up/new overlying window on Facebook, if I click to read links to comment-section. First I thought FB had changed, but a Friend using anothr browser dont get that. Its very annoying. Someone who can help to remove the pop-ups? Thanks in advance!

On starting Firefox, I get the message 'Firefox is already running', which it is not. I have tried uninstalling and re-installation but always with the same result. What is the solution please? This started yesterday afternoon (UK 04Feb2023. Version 109.0.1, first offered to Release channel users on January 31, 20234Feb23)

Okay, I give up. So, Facebook is or has implemented this Turn on two-factor authentication or whatever it is. What this means for me at the moment is that I am unable to access my Facebook account as it is now forcing me to use this Two-factor authentication thingie, despite that I do not have a mobile phone. (yes, I know it's unusual in this day of age not to have one. I did have one at one time, but for the moment I have no interest in getting another one). I would rather use my laptop anyway.

Doesn't Firefox have a Two-factor Authentication thing that I can use with Facebook? Without a mobile phone using the Firefox browser on a computer or laptop?

Now, from what I can see, Facebook is offering 3 ways of doing this. #1) Authentication app, like Google Authenticator or Duo Mobile. #2) Text message (SMS). #3) Security Key. So, because I do not use or have a mobile phone, I was guessing that my option would only be #1 Authentication app, like Google Authenticator ... which I have never used before, and while reading up on it, I keep reading that I can only use it with the Google Chrome browser?!? If that wasn't bad enough, I typically use Microsoft Outlook, not Gmail. So, I am at a loss at this point.

Again, I do not have a mobile phone. Doesn't Firefox have a Two-factor Authentication thing that I can use with Facebook? Without a mobile phone using the Firefox browser on a computer or laptop?

Help please.

Several websites (not sure it's website-related) are displaying some (or a lot) of unreadable text. If I copy the text and then paste it into a page in a text program, it all reads fine. What could be causing this, and how do I fix it? (Screen shot is attached.)

I am not ultra-technical so please make response clear.

For several weeks now I have been unable to sign in or track packages on FedEx.com. I have had to use Microsoft Edge to access FedEx.com. I never used to have this problem. I don't know what Mozilla did, but I wished it could be undone! I use a VPN, ExpressVPN, and thought this was the problem at first, but it is not. I turned off ExpressVPN and still cannot access FedEx.com. Same with using AT&T Broadband. I have tried cleaning my history/cookies and it has no affect whether I use ExpressVPN or AT&T Broadband. I went to FedEx.com on Mozilla and clicked the 'shield' and turned off Mozilla's Enhanced Tracking Feature. I still can not use FedEx.com.

I see no solution to this issue unless I can find some way to completely turn off your Enhanced Tracking software that you have added. It is ridiculous that I have to use Microsoft Edge every time I want to access FedEx.

What is the solution?

In order for me to use Mozilla, I'm being asked for a primary password. I have never used one, created one, or have even been asked for one. So without this "primary password", I cannot get into any of my sites to conduct business. How can I remedy this problem? Your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

All of a sudden every time I try to sign in on Yahoo mail I get a warning "We've noticed some unusual account activity" and I have to get a text (which I pay for individually) to get a code to continue (the code I get by email which would not cost me anything never works). I have no problem when I use Microsoft Edge. What is happening and how can it be fixed.

I am trying to get set up for video visit with my Doctor for Monday morning and when I try to test it I get this message. This action was blocked by your popup blocker. Would you like to open the link? How do I fix this? Thanks

When I log on to Firefox on my computer, I have an annoying Adbloc advertisement which I cannot get rid off. I am not interested as its asking for payment. I have selected block pop-up ads in Settings and not making any difference. How do I get rid of this unwanted intrusion please.
