Firefox won't load web sites when VPN being used since upgrade to macOS 10.14.

Ever since I upgraded to macOS 10.14 (Mojave), Firefox v.62.0.3 (64 bit) will not load web pages when my Internet connection is routed through a VPN, not even web sites that are very popular, such as apple.com. I have tried other browsers, namely Safari and Opera, and these have loaded the pages Firefox wouldn't without problem. I thought the problem may be privacy add-ons that I had installed on Firefox, but even disabling all three of these add-ons did not correct the problem. Loading seems to hang when either looking up the address or, if it gets that far, at the TLS handshake, if that helps anyone suggest a solution.
Thanks for any advice.

UPDATE - looks like this -might- be fixed! Just received a message to the effect of, "an update to version x is now available" ... as opposed to being stuffed down my throat ;)
(Confirmed that Mozilla Maintenance Service was/is DISABLED, so it should not be a factor)
What *exactly" does "Firefox is being updated by another instance" mean?
I *interpret* it to mean a release update is being pushed to me, *without my explicit authorization.* Currently at 62.0.3, not interested in updating to 63 until update behavior is properly fixed.
SPECIFICALLY: I WILL NOT install a browser that doesn't do what it claims. Right now, ALL 62.0.3+ versions (on Win7) are falling into that category.
Settings: "Check for updates but let you choose to install them."
I hope someone at Mozilla recognizes that the misbehavior of this setting in recent releases is typical of MALWARE... say you'll do X, but the code actually does Y.
Quality control? Testing?
Please clarify what's going on here!
The core question: "What *exactly" does "Firefox is being updated by another instance" mean? A new release is being force-fed (as opposed to "offered") to the user?
It's NOT acceptable for a new release to be deployed without the user's ACTIVE choice to ALLOW it on a case-by-case basis. I am again being incentivized to notify my large network of non-techies to BEWARE of recent Firefox releases (62+)
A narrow, bug-fix patch could (and should) be automatically pushed. A new release should NOT (because outside-the-lab users prefer stability).

Since updating to Firefox 63 I have found that when I shop at one of my usual shopping sites I can place objects in my shopping cart but I cannot access the cart itself. I click on the button but the usual subscreen that appears against a greyed out transparent layer over the website page fails to appear? I have tried accessing the site in Safe Mode but the same thing happens so it can't be an add-on issue...

I use an HP G60 with Windows 10 Pro and Firefox 63. A missing coprocessor driver caused it to reject any non-MS or non-HP software. I could run the PortableApps suite from a flash drive, except for Firefox, which couldn't find a profile. I replaced the driver. Now it runs okay but downloaded regular Firefox still wouldn't run for the same reason. I uninstalled with Revo Uninstaller and a search for every possible remainder, reinstalled, and now it works, but all of my settings revert back to default as soon as I close it. This makes it useless to me. It won't keep my start page, download location, privacy preferences, and everything else that I have changed under options.

I've posted 2 years ago the same question. Mozilla solved it in the later versions. I'm now on v.63.0.1(64bit) Can't remember exactly on what version the problem started again, but on 49.0.1 I could just mouse hover on any address in the drop down list in address bar and press Delete. How do I delete now, without going to Options and so on ?

Playing media (on any website) at a faster playback speed than 1x will result in a messed up audio waveform.
I played a 60 HZ Test Tone video (https://youtu.be/GqwFimG3X3w) and used audacity to record my stereo-mix device to show the audio waveform that I hear. I have attached a picture which shows the waveforms for Firefox and Chrome at 1x and 2x playback speed.
The results for Internet Explorer are the same as Chrome.
This is the first time that I have installed Firefox on this laptop. The extensions that I use are uBlock and h264ify. I have disabled them both and tested again, but the problem remained.
The image I uploaded isn't showing, so I uploaded it to imgur. https://imgur.com/XAz5ph4

On my Chromebook I can create a special bookmark that causes a web page to be opened in a separate window with remembered dimensions and with no toolbars or URL bar. A page like this gets its own icon and is also protected from regular browser keyboard shortcuts so I can't for example be accidentally closed by pressing Control W.

Hello,
I have been always using Mozbackup to backup and restore during formats, but couldn't make it work this time so I thought to let Sync handle it.
Actually this time I moved from Windows 7 to Windows 10 on a different pc, and right before the move, while I was collecting important files etc., I decided to also change my Sync account pw, to bring it in a format I would be sure I would remember afterwards. This was last Saturday, and now I just had time to install Windows and set up the new pc, and Sync won't let me log in no matter what I try!
I am going crazy, all my bookmarks and logons were in that sync, I really want it back! I have been trying every possibility, even possible mistypings, or letters that I might forgot to press Shift, etc., but nothing, it seems impossible to log in. Now I am locked out for the next 15 minutes.
And if I change the password, Firefox tells me that some data from my sync will be lost. Well, if the bookmarks don't, that will be enough I guess....
Thanks for the support.

When trying to print a downloadable document from a web site, all it gives is the 1st page. It doesn't matter if I send it to a printer or try to save the downloaded file to a pdf. All I get is the 1st page. Do not see this problem of Chrome, Opera, or Vivaldi. I prefer use Firefox if I can fix this problem.

Not sure when it started, but for the past few months, any video I watch on youtube or netflix has a ludicrous amount of dropped frames (anywhere from 30-90% drop rate), and I have no clue how to fix it, the most common answers I've found are are things like toggling Hardware Acceleration or "media.mediasource.webm.enabled", empty the cache, check internet connection, and so on, but nothing's worked. But videos on Dailymotion play fine, and when I load youtube in Microsoft Edge, the video runs smoothly.

The ISPs in my country is starting to censor sites and I am currently using DNS over HTTPS (DoH) to circumvent it. But to my latest knowledge, the SNI in TLS sends the hostname in plaintext. CloudFlare is currently experimenting on ESNI as the solution. Does the latest Firefox or the Nightly version, support ESNI. If Yes then, how can I check its status? If No then, Am I correct to assume that it will be experimented on the later Nightly Versions?
Thank You.

Hello, I'm on linux, with FF 63 (though this problem has been occurring for some months - maybe more - IIRC).
Whenever I click on a mailto: link, I get the "open mailto: link with" dialog, with multiple programs and websites listed (thunderbird, gmail, yahoo mail, kmail...) but the "Open link" button stays grayed as in the provided screenshot, so I cannot send my mail.
What can I do ? (short of copy-pasting the address in my mail client - and on some "modern" websites which restrict right-click stuff it's not even possible)

Firefox will not run under Mojave in my profile. I did a clean install of Mojave, updated to 10.14.1 and Firefox is the only application to not run...it simply eats up all available memory until the OSX requires me to force quit.

There is something in my profile that is stopping this from working!

Hi there,
I recently went on vacation and sent a few tabs to a profile on my desktop. Upon my return, I opened firefox on my desktop and it applied the 63.0.1 upgrade, then showed the regular firefox window. In the window, it showed 4 tabs (but not my previous session as it normally does). Each tab had the title of the URL. The tab that was shown just showed gray without loading the page. I couldn't switch tabs or really do anything in firefox. I restarted firefox, which showed the same 4 tabs, same titles, same gray, same inability to switch tabs. So I closed firefox, restored my firefox profile from a backup, and started firefox. (I didn't backup the broken profile first.) Now it opened my previous session (but not any of the sent tabs).
How can I recover the sent tabs that were lost?
Thanks, Jayen
