Firefox Community Forum

I have been a Mozilla customer for some time now; no problems. All of a sudden when I select the Firefox icon I get Bing. I don't want Bing. How do I make it go away? DB

Trying to search on Firefox is now 70% impossible. Keep getting error code: Secure Connection Failed

"An error occurred during a connection to www.google.com. PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR

Error code: PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR

   The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
   Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem."

What is going on with this? I even get this code when I try to search on how to reset ALL settings back to factory default. What can be done??

I have no problems typing in a textbox on most websites, but for some time now, when I type comments on YouTube, the box alternates between working and freezing about every 7 seconds. It will work fine for 7 seconds. Then freeze for 7 seconds, then back to working again.

Any idea what the problem is?

I don't know what is happening, but for the last few weeks my Firefox has been freezing on me, I know the cause is not the website(s) because I can browse them fine with other browsers, also when it freezes it won't let me close it, I even tried to close it using Task Manager, but I get an Access Denied when I click End Task, so I have to restart my PC.

Any ideas qhat can be happening?

Can't log in to spectrum.net. I called Spectrum. They had me clear cache. I also Closed out of Firefox and logged back in. Still couldn't log into Spectrum. Tried to log in using Google Chrome and was successful. Why can't I log in using Firefox, my default browser?

Can anyone please help me figure out why can't I access my multiple open Firefox tabs on my Widow 11 desktop unless I open a new tab, and then click on the three line Firefox app menu symbol, then select "History" and then go back? I don't even have to choose a function under "History". I just go back to the tabs and they have become available to be selected and activated. This fix is only temporary and may have to be repeated several times in one session. The misbehaving tabs show up in a horizontal row over my toolbar area (sometimes as dark panels after an update) but clicking on them just causes the row of tabs shown, or the vertical list of excessive multiple tabs, to disappear. I tried selecting troubleshoot mode, but did not see any indications of errors. This problem only began after my last Firefox update and does not go away after a Windows reboot.

I have came to ask if anyone else has had problems with downloading a mod off of nexusmods.com and if there is a solution I have been having to switch to google chrome which I'd rather not because its so resource intensive on the computer

Hello, Thanks in advance for your help. I am having trouble logging into "trusted" web sites with Firefox and every update seems to add to my problem. By "trusted" web sites I mean sites like Charles Schwab, Spectrum and iCloud as well as my city's water department and my local hospital's portal. It doesn't matter whether I use "normal" Firefox or its privacy mode or safe mode-the problem persists. I am running Firefox version 134.0.2 but the problem goes back several months. I have Windows 10 and use Malwarebytes Browser Guard. The only other add on I use is Print Friendly & PDF. It doesn't matter whether these addons are running or not. The problem seems to involve either a loop, blank fields or very odd error messages. Some examples are below:

iCloud allows me to get to the point where it asks me to supply the 6 digit verification code. I enter the code and the site loads. Approximately 2 seconds later, before I can navigate to anything in iCloud, I am taken back to the log in screen to start over. The loops repeat as often as I want to try. Clearing cache and history does nothing. Since there is nothing abnormal (no error message or blank fields) I have not included a screen shot.

Spectrum allows me to enter my credentials waits a while and then gives me an odd error message about Feature Unavailable and suggests that I try logging in from home. I might add that all of these problems occur while I AM at home. Screen shot attached.

Charles Schwab allows me to get to the log in screen but the screen is unusable. There is a message that the session has timed out and I need to log in. The log in sections of the screen are blank which leads me to believe that the page is not loading all the way but that is a guess. Screen shot is attached.

I can log into all these pages with Edge (which I dislike using) with no problems at all.

I have Firefox set to automatically delete cookies and site data when closed. Privacy is set to Standard.

I would really appreciate any help that you can give me. Please note that the screen shots are BMP files that I had to rename to GIF files to get them to upload.

Thanks again,

Charley

very frustrated, and pissed at how programmers always screw things up that are working just fine by upgrading crap. Now, I have suddenly had all of my addons quit working, was forced to update my firefox. Nothing changed, and it still shows that I am using version 105, instead of the all-new, better and fancier, singing and dancing crap that is being forced upon me.

Thought only Ubuntu's Linux Firefox 136.0 was 'unstable' on my Gateway E-475M laptop - crashes, restores session then freezes only to log me out, then completely locking up requiring holding down power button and rebooting...

Now, even Firefox 136.0 on WIN7 is crashing, then restores session only to go to the 'blue screen of death' requiring holding down the power button and rebooting...

Evidently, the problem is not with Ubuntu or WIN7, but either: Firefox (Linux or win version); or, the Gateway E-475M laptop (2.0GHz CPU, 4Gb RAM, 8Gb swapfile, Harddrive at 61% usage, Linux/Win on separate booting partitions, LAN + usb & pci wifi's, etc.) - both OS's used to work fine, but as upgrades to Firefox have come along, they have steadily gotten more and more unstable...

Sometime, I'm only making a bookmark, and it starts this circus act... does it on differing websites, etc. Firefox is the only thing loaded - using two windows on two different monitors ...at a loss as to what to do - Firefox is supposed to be THE lightest-weight browser out there, and was for awhile... the only extension used on both systems is "NoScript" - could that be causing the disturbance in the force?!?

Hi, My Firefox browse Linkedin / My Network section page gets cramped (attach). Can you guide me how to configure my Firefox to view this page properly?

Report to Linkedin is unresolved for months, they tell me to blame browser. I am not a full time programmer, but will try to learn HTML to fix this. I need My Network section to find job. Presently seek work, no income. Please help. 115.18.0esr (64-bit)

I can only see 2 emojis on my Facebook items. I used to see 5 or 6 This is a recent problem I can see them all if I use another browser Why is this, and can you fix it? I like Firefox.

I have a new macbook air running Sequoia 15.3.2, firefox is up to date, my battery which should technically last about 12 hours and I only get 5. Ran through everything with Apple and they said it is a Firefox issues. I don't have any extensions, add on etc. Thoughts?

Apologies, I have to write this on mobile because among other pages Firefox will not open for me now, THIS IS ONE OF THEM. Google is a black square (opens fine in chrome). So are multiple other pages. I can open new tabs, but clicking on them to actually navigate to them does nothing. Has anyone else had this problem???? I don't want to go back to chrome but Firefox is completely unusable right now.

I have changed the fonts in preferences to my desired font and unchecked "Allow pages to choose their own fonts,...". After this, Firefox defaults to Noto Sans and other Noto * fonts. What would be problem and how can I fix this?

I understand Firefox has always had a bit of an issue with SVG - and the 'Firefox has higher standards' doesn't really cut it.

I personally love Firefox but the number of users doesn't warrant spending much time redevloping sites to overcome a shortcoming that no other browser has.

Eg of a website the problem applies to - https://fontmellmagnavillagehall.co.uk/

When I open a new tab I get an error message if I do not have the web address. This is the message I get.

ie general search for stained glass patterns

Error Description: Could not process this "GET" request.
