Firefox Community Forum

I am on a Windows 10 Pro PC 64 Bit OS with 16GB of memory, running Bit Defender Total Security. I have used Firefox for many years and have never had a problem The browser is version 128.0.2 (64-bit). A few days ago in the application menu told me there was an update and said to install it because it couldn't check for updates. I downloaded and installed it three times now, but the problem still persists. My Bit Defender also keeps popping up messages telling me "firefox.exe attempted to establish a connection relying on an unmatching security certificate to aus5.mozilla.org. We blocked the connection to keep your data safe since the used certificate was issued for a different web address than the targeted one." I have had over 2000 of those messages in the past few days.

I have never had an issue like this before. Is there a glitch in the most recent update? What can I do to fix it outside of resetting my browser, which logs me out of my google accounts and causes me to not be able to get back into them.

I used to be able to log in to a website, but lately I get the following message: " Secure Connection Failed An error occurred during a connection to www.connectnetwork.com. PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR Error code: PR_END_OF_FILE_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." If I use another route to reach the website, I can't login due to getting the same message. I have talked to their tech support staff and they say the problem is on my end. I tried reaching the website and logging in from another computer which also uses Firefox and was successful. So, how can I fix my computer so that I can reach the website and log in? Thanks.

ATT/Yahoo is my homepage. When reading an article on the ATT(Currently)/Yahoo homepage, there is a comments section at the end of each article. When trying to access the comments section, it disappears when clicked on. On other homepages (MSN, eg), it works fine. Any help would be appreciated.

What information that I can supply would be useful to help resolve the problem? I have seen the problem on both my old (ancient) Windows 10 desktop and new Windows 11 desktop. I have seen it on my Windows 11 desktop on version 129.0.2 and 130.0. I saw it first on the Windows 11 desktop as I am spending my time setting it up. But recently saw it on the Windows 10 desktop on 129.0.2. When I hover on a tab it highlights the tab (background lightens); but NO description or preview appears.

It works on both PCs when I first start Firefox.

Firefox requesting a "passkey" to sign into AOL. AOL says it's not them. it doesn't say what kind of passkey, how toset it up, where to get it, Nothing! Any ideas? I can get in on my tablet and phone, just not in Firefox.This request for a passkey just began a month or so ago, with no explanation.

Hi there, after turning on my computer in the morning, Firefox has been suddenly rendered utterly inoperable and pulls up a PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR for all websites. No matter what I do, including all other fixes previously suggested on the Mozilla forums and elsewhere, nothing seems to work.

Things that I've already tried and did not work include: - Pausing Kaspersky Internet Security - Resetting WiFi router - Switching to a different WiFi - Turning on troubleshooting mode - Resetting Firefox entirely - Creating a new profile - Reinstalling Firefox (several times) - Installing Firefox for Developers - Flushing DNS - Turning off proxy settings

I really don't want to be forced to use Google Chrome. Is there anything else that I can possibly do that can fix this?

Is there any way to move the download thing to the bottom like it used to be in old Chrome? Just gave up on that PoS after 20+ years, it keeps being updated by windows 10, but I know nothing about Firefox.

    Also, is there a way to set it to auto open zip or rar files when I download them? That would bypass the problem of wanting to move that stupid tiny arrow.

I have the same problem as described here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1236002 I am using Windows 10 with the latest version of Firefox, and I have a fresh profile (5 months old) while using a maximum of 10 windows. Initially, it happened a few times a day, but today it’s a 50:50 chance that Firefox will freeze completely, and I have to restart it entirely. Sometimes I do this up to 30 times a day. If I use drag and drop, it doesn't happen.

I am not using network drives, nor are there any unavailable resources on the network, and explorer works fine the entire time.

If you could make suggestions on how to accomplish this. If you have other ideas, I would really appreciate it. I don't use cloud.

Thank you.

I have an Imac desktop. I can't send my vacation pictures to my relatives because they don't have smart phones.

Hi,

I'm posting because I noticed that there is a repeat issue with my Firefox login. When I try to log in on a new browser, my password is always rejected and my account even receives the "lock" for using an incorrect password. The first time this happened, I tried every password option I have and then ultimately changed my password and last some browsing data thinking I was wrong. This time I decided to set up a recovery key after my password was rejected on another browser and was able to successfully use the same password rejected by my new browser to set up that recovery key on my existing browser. This means that my password and email are correct, but for some reason they aren't recognized outside of one browser. If I can't sync my browsers I will have to completely use Edge which isn't ideal.

Is this something I can fix in my settings? Or is this a glitch/bug with my account that I can report somewhere? I'd like to access my data.

There was a 1-3 second power failure today that crashed my desktop computer but the UPS maintained power to the fiber modem and mesh router, so my internet connection to the house was maintained. I restarted the desktop and launched Firefox. It proceeded to open all the tabs which had been open which is good. BUT it was very troubling that my log-in to my Investment Brokerage account was maintained and it did not request a Log-in Account Name and Password. A 2nd web account also maintained its log-in; so this is not specific to my brokerage. I have Firefox set up to NEVER save passwords; I use a separate Password Manager set up NOT to autofill account names and passwords.

Was this because the the UPS maintained the internet connection (for the 1-2 minute restart) while Firefox crashed and did not EXIT? Is there any setting I can make to prevent this from happening?

Firefox is the only program on my computer which struggles with connecting to the internet for some reason, other browsers and programs work fine. Everything times out, even the update checker in settings. It opens local files without issue. It started 7+ days ago, i have tried doing everything on the "firefox doesn't load internet pages in, other browsers do" but it didn't change anything.
