Firefox Community Forum

Since I updated my MacBook to macOS Sequoia, I have no access to local network pages (except 127.0.0.1, localhost and 192.168.0.1) - an "Unable to connect" error appears. Immediately after the first launch of Firefox, a request for local network permissions appeared, which I accepted, but it didn't help. I performed all the actions from this article, and also used the terminal command reset All approval status for org.mozilla.firefox and Firefox disappeared from the privacy settings. While a request for access to the microphone and camera reappeared after restarting the browser, no question about the local network appeared. The problem only occurs in Firefox (version 128.5.2esr) and does not appear in other browsers (checked in: Firefox Developer Edition, Firefox Nightly, Safari and Google Chrome). macOS 15.1.1 (24B91).

Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site.

We can’t connect to the server at marvelsearch.com.

If you entered the right address, you can:

   Try again later
   Check your network connection
   Check that Firefox Developer Edition has permission to access the web (you might be connected but behind a firewall)

i am using a local dnsserver and firefox is connected to it. is this the reason? if so how can i disable this? other firefox features are working beautifully.

Unable to connect

Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at mesp.finance.gov.bd.

   The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
   If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer’s network connection.
   If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the web.

This has been a problem for me for a very long time, and I'm tired of having to use Chrome every time there's an update to Firefox.

The issue I have is that I will get the notification saying there's an update. I click the button to update now, the browser opens the auto download page and I get a not secure connection warning. The only work around I've found is to use Chrome, and sometimes I can use the "Other downloads" option.

I'm not running a VPN, or any other networking software on my pc. This is for the full program, not the Windows Store app.

Secure Connection Failed

An error occurred during a connection to download.mozilla.org. The server uses key pinning (HPKP) but no trusted certificate chain could be constructed that matches the pinset. Key pinning violations cannot be overridden.

Error code: MOZILLA_PKIX_ERROR_KEY_PINNING_FAILURE

Yesterday, the Firefox quit working. Today my connection was verified by Fios and during the phone call, we tried Google Chrome (Yuck!) and it worked on the internet. I have downloaded the latest Firefox and it still does not work. Is there a problem with Firefox? Should I delete Firefox and reinstall?

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

Attempted to do an Firefox update more than a month ago on my HP (microsoft windows) computer. Everytime I open my computer I gt the Firefox Crash Reporter Window. When I hit the Quit firefox box it submits the crash report and then I X out the box. I cannot use Firefox as a browser. The DISASTER is that I CANNOT open any files previously downloaded while using Firefox (eg PDF files). I get the crash report box. I NEED these files!

Please HELP!

(Sorry if the wrong area.)

I'm curious and play with Node-Red a lot.

Just now I am playing with the `http-request` to explore web pages.

I press the `F12` key and the tools pop up and I go through some basic things.

I see/get just about nothing. See pic (Don't know to make it inline.) But the name says it all.

So I've pressed the `F12` key, clicked on the NETWORK and REFRESHED the page.

Now with Chrome.

Whole different set of stuff.

Someone - please. What's going on? I'm not understanding the huge difference with how things are shown.

why does firefox blocks incoming http conection to localhost:8080 when I try to obtain a google oauth2 token using oauth2.py ?. The Google server returns the token via http to loaclhost:8080 and the port is blocked by firefox.

For the last day I've been having a problem with FF slow to load. I've tried the troubleshoot mode with little change. When it does load I can have problems with certain web sites loading e.g. Youtube, MSNBC, AOL mail etc. It's never consistent. The cache is clean and I've saved all the relevant cookies, I checked my internet provider and they are having no problems and I don't seem to be having any internal hdw issues e.g. ethernet cable connections etc. I reinstalled FF-not a clean install and seemed to help for a time. Do I have any options other than a refresh? I don't seem to be having the same issues with Edge or Chrome. All W11 updates are current. I look forward to anyone's comments.

Using Firefox as my browser, I have over the last few days been unable to maintain a connection with the internet.

You will please excuse me as I am a 70 year old with limited understanding of the interaction of the internet and its terminology.

A couple of things you may need to know to offer me advise I just received a refurbished Dell laptop with windows 11. I'm using firefox as the browser comcast xfinity is my ISP I subscribe to NordVPN and NordPass

I am having a problem maintaining a connection to firefox.

I can look on the taskbar and see that I am connected via Comcast and the NordVPN and yet I will have displays of "you are not connected to the internet" or similar wording. If I need to include that, at these times, I look at the task bar and I confirm that I am connected.

In addition to this Windows 11 laptop, I have two active android phones. My Gmail, last I checked on the laptop was displaying vividly inaccurate time stamps to incoming emails. My phones however show the emails with accurate timestamps. (A difference of 4 to 6 hours like EST New York to middle of the Pacific Ocean)

I do have photos of these events, screenshots of sorts... but they're on the phone. I'm currently using the firefox browser to offer this post/question, but I sit in anticipation of it acting erratically. Finally I have downloaded a different browser to use while the firefox issue is being trouble shot.

Rather than add more possibly irrelevant information, I'll send now and let the community ask me questions.

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?

Please help, a very tricky problem: Work Scenario: I need to use the company-provided VPN software to access the internal network. Its principle involves redirecting requests to a virtual network interface before sending them out. On Ubuntu 24.04, both Firefox 140 and older versions can access both internal and external networks normally.

Issue After Upgrading Firefox: After upgrading to Firefox 141, all connections (internal and external) fail when the VPN is active.

Key Symptom Observed: In the Firefox networking debug page (about:networking#dns), the DNS suffix should display as localdomain, but after upgrading to Firefox 141, it appears empty.

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,
