I run the current version of Firefox (152.01) under Windows 11 Pro on a Dell Inspiron 15-3530 laptop. More and more frequently, I'm getting "Access Denied" messages when I click on a site link t56o an internal page. This happens on several sites, most notably Dell.com. I get the error in Troubleshooting Mode, and clearing the cache doesn't help. I've searched the information here, but all the responses seem to involve Windows 7 or Windows 8, not Windows 11. Can someone tell me how to resolve this situation in Windows 11?

Thank you.

Firefox just updated, now getting ACCESS DENIED at common sites, Home Depot, JC Penney, American Airlines, United Airlines and I don't know how many more.

How do I fix this or go back to previous versions of Firefox?

Or just move to Google?

After moving home from college Firefox no longer works. I can open the browser, and it doesn’t crash, but websites will not load and I can’t search anything. The weather data says it is not available. I have tried everything. Uninstall and reinstall, reset, scanned for malware, reset DNS on my computer, cleared cache both on Firefox and on my pc. If I open up Chrome websites work fine. When I reset Firefox through the uninstall window, it works but if I close that and reopen it it is broken again. I am beyond frustrated and any guidance would be much appreciated.

Cannot login to Insurance website

I am a business owner and I need to log into united health care provider portal. Mozilla will not allow me to access. I'm using this link: https://secure.uhcprovider.com/… (read more)

I am a business owner and I need to log into united health care provider portal. Mozilla will not allow me to access. I'm using this link: https://secure.uhcprovider.com/ and Mozilla will not allow me to go further. This is causing work stoppage. Chat GPT says the link is secure. HELP! I need access so I can get paid.

From Chat GTP:

https://secure.uhcprovider.com/ I checked that exact URL, and here’s the key point:

👉 secure.uhcprovider.com is actually configured with HTTPS and a valid SSL certificate—so under normal conditions, your browser should show it as secure.

So if your browser is blocking it or labeling it “not secure,” the problem is almost certainly local (your device/network) rather than a new issue with UHC.

Just seemingly out of the blue I started getting Firefox captive portal warnings. Most websites load normally but if it's a new site i.e. one I ahven't visited in a while I get the "you must log into this netrwork before you an access the internet" message. I am and have only and always been on my home wifi with this computer, it's a laptop but has never been out of my house. Forefox seems slow lately and I keep getting this message. Other browsers work fine by the way.

I have a 100% repro rate of Firefox redirecting linkedin.com to linkedin.cn. Unfortunately there's another problem beyond the unwanted redirection: linkedin.cn no longer exits, it has been dead for years, I literally cannot reach LinkedIn at all. It was working fine a week or two ago. How do I prevent Firefox from redirecting behind my back? I see the status message (is that what it's called) in the lower left corner "Performing TLS handshake to www.linkedin.cn" and of course it only times out. I just verified with "Web" (different browser), it connects just fine, which suggests that it's a Firefox issue, not a system wide one.
