Setup: macOS Tahoe (26.4) and Firefox 149.0

=

Behavior: Out of the blue this morning, every website I try to visit in Firefox returns "Looks like there’s a problem with this site". Every other browser works fine.

Things I've tried, that haven't fixed it: - Ruled Out DNS: Sites like 1.1.1.1 and my home router's IP return the same issue in Firefox, but also resolve in any other browser. - Firefox Safe Mode: no fix - Deleted All Settings, Reinstalled Fresh: - Removed the Firefox App, deleted:

       - ~/Library/Application\ Support/Firefox
       - ~/Library/Caches/Mozilla
       - ~/Library/Caches/Firefox

...and then downloaded and installed 149.0 fresh. - Refreshed Firefox (via [link] - about:preferences (toggled between FALSE and TRUE, testing each time) via this YouTube video

- network.dns.disableIPv6

- network.dns.disablePrefetch
- network.dns.disablePrefetchFromHTTPS
- network.dns.disable

....and in desperation, I checked my Mac for Malware (clean)

I'm at a complete loss: every other browser works, but Firefox is a 100% fail for all websites. Any thoughts?

I had a proxy set manually before and it was working just well, after I updated firefox it stopped asking for username password for my proxy and I keep getting no network error on every website I check. I also reentered the proxy data again and checked somethings in the about:config page to be true but still doesn't work.

NOTE: I have marked this as "Solved" because I figured out the problem described below, and I fixed it. See my following message here for a description of my solution.

Original message starts here ...

I'm using Firefox 144.0 under Debian Linux. I've used Firefox on this machine for years with no problem. Firefox can easily connect to literally thousands of web servers on the internet, both via HTTP and HTTPS.

But now, I'm having an issue:

I started running a web server on the same machine that Firefox is running on. This server only listens for non-HTTPS connections on port 80. I am not using any proxy server with Firefox.

I can easily and directly connect to my local web server's pages from my local machine from Chrome, w3m, curl, and direct telnet connections to port 80 ... all of which are addressing the publicly accessible domain name for my local web server. However, However, Firefox refuses to connect to any URL's on my local machine, and it gives me the following explanation:

Unable to connect

Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at [ my server's domain name ].

   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.

In Firefox, I have all auto-forcing of HTTPS disabled by means of Don’t enable HTTPS-Only Mode turned on.

I get the same error in Firefox whether I connect via a URL like "http://MYFULLDOMAINNAME" or a URL like "http://AAA.BBB.CCC.DDD", where "AAA.BBB.CCC.DDD" is my machine's publicly accessible static IP address and "MYFULLDOMAINNAME" is the long-standing, publicly accessible domain name for my machine ... both with and without a suffix of ":80" on the supplied URL.

And again, all other browsers on my machine have no problem whatsoever connecting to my own local web server on this same local machine of mine using those same URL's.

And all browsers (Firefox and otherwise) that are running on other machines all over the internet have no problem connecting to that same web server via the same URL's that I described above

Also, I have no firewall rules on my machine which would block access to my own machine's port 80.

What could be causing this error in Firefox, and what might I be able to do to fix it?

Thank you very much in advance.

UPDATE: Just a bit more information. Looking at the web logs, I see that Firefox's request never even reaches my local web server. In other words, Firefox itself is not even trying to make a TCPIP port 80 connection to my local web server in the first place

seit einigen Updatesversucht das System verschiedene Webseiten ohne Erfolg zu öffnen. Es erscheint keine Fehlermeldung, auch kein Abbruch wegen Zeitüberschreitung oder der Hinweis, dass der Server nicht erreichbar ist.

every time i launch Firefox, I get the banner prompting me to log in to network so i can access to the internet, i don´t understand it , cos I see that I am both logged in and connected to the net ?

Whenever I load Firefox, for the first minute or so, or the first X attempts at loading (any) website, I just get "Can't connect to server" errors. Eventually it does connect and then has no more issues, unless I close the browser and open a new one, then the process begins again.

New Alienware laptop with a fresh windows 11 install.

Other browsers are working fine, this is isolated to this browser, on this device only.

Things I have tried:

All the suggestions in the connectivity help section Uninstalling Firefox > Deleting my profile data from laptop > Cleaning registry > Deleting anything else that searching for "mozilla" turned up > Clean install without logging into any profile or enabling sync or importing anything (somehow still knows there was a previous install though, just doesn't import anything)

Still the same results.

I've used Firefox for probably a decade now and I am truly loathed to have to move to Chrome, but if I can't find a solution this is just untenable. Any help would be much appreciated!

I wanted to open www.wattpad.com ,but firefox is not reaching the web i request u to resolve this problem as soon as possible

Hi, all experienced peoples are here I got strange issue with firefox lately. my site sometimes https://avsogirl.net/ not loads at all, just shows “server not found” look at the image.

i first thought maybe server down, but i checked with curl and ping, server responds fine. also tested same site in chrome and edge, loads normal there, no error. i tried clearing cache, disabling addons, even fresh profile. still same. only firefox gives this dns error.

i use dns-over-https in firefox, and i also have proxy config for work. maybe firefox handling dns/proxy different? when i switch off doh, sometimes page loads, sometimes not. so looks like firefox network stack problem, not site issue. anyone else facing same error?

I have a question (speculation) about having several Firefox based browsers installed on my Windows 64 PC.

I have a Windows 10, 64 Bit PC with 64 Gigs of RAM. I've always had a habit of installing several versions of Firefox based browsers - all to no avail. However, as of recent, I'm finding that my browsers begin to slow down substantially after 15 minutes or so of browsing - please read on.

Right now, I have the following 64 Bit Firefox based browsers installed on my PC - they are:

Firefox Waterfox Floorp Librewolf

I have quite a large amount of bookmarks saved, and I make sure all browsers have the same bookmarks.

I have a half dozen or so of add-ons, and have tried - from time to time - to uninstall various add-ons to see if they were the cause of the slow downs, but none of that made a difference.

For example, let's say I'm browsing for 15-30 minutes or so, and have a half dozen different tabs brought up. After awhile, things begin to slow down substantially such as delays in clicking on links and having it respond, or right clicking, etc. Browsing speeds slow down substantially also.

Here is what I then usually do:

1. Create a new tab and type in "about:memory" and click on the save memory command.

2. Go into settings and delete cache.

This normally does nothing to speed up things, and I find I have to just close out the browser, wait a few seconds, and bring it back up to things to get back to normal.

This has me speculating - "Could" it be that having a variety of Firefox based browsers with similar data conflict with each other in some strange sort of way" Or is it something else? I know that having a bunch of tabs up can deplete memory usage, but as I mentioned above, I have 64 Gigs of RAM and never had this issue before.

My SSD drive has 500 Gigs of storage, and only half is being used.

Any suggestions or recommendations would be truly appreciated.

I get a message that says I must log into this network before I can access the internet then I get another message that says the page isn't direct redirecting properly Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never be complete the problem can sometimes be solved back calls by disabling or refusing to accept cookies. I have done neither. don't understand what happened I was browsing and all of the sudden I'm not I guess I may have to switch my browser?
