When I use a vpn with firefox (not the firefox vpn), I cannot open normally blocked websites such as twitter or youtube, and instead they open in a sort of half-loaded state (see image). I don't face this problem with other browsers. I have tried deleting and reinstalling firefox, but it doesn't seem to work. Can anyone help out?

I've notice since last night that in certain instances left clicking on something results in no response. There are a couple of cases where this is happening. In Google image results if I click on an image, that image should open up in a popup in the upper right corner. However, now when I click on the image, nothing happens. The other instance is when I do a Google search on a certain subject, at the top of the results is "people also ask." Next to the results in a drop down arrow to expand the results. However, clicking on the arrow also results in no response. I am having no problems at all using Microsoft Edge. I did restart FF in troubleshoot mode and the issues went away. So, apparently there is something wrong with FF in normal mode. Using FF version 11.6.01 64-bit with Window 10. Also, I have not installed any add-ons in a long time. On other thing. It seems some pages are not rendering properly. For example I tried using DuckDuckgo to see if the above problem was specific to Google search. However, when I typed the DDG address into the address bar, the page comes up blank. Thanks in advance for any help.

How to provide ownership information for a personal website

To get to the point; I would like to make myself available in order to supply the information needed to establish my own website from my own server. I don't want to be forced to buy the rights to my own intellectual property. When I make it known that I am interested in a specific web address for my own use this will be used to gouge my resources and just make me pay a fee for things I don't need. Mozilla says that my website is not secure but I have an SSL certificate and it even later admits that the information is encrypted. I'm not mad, I simply don't want to be bullied and wrangled into purchasing what I don't need. Nobody has the web address I currently have as my ServerName. The more I advertise it while I am working on it, the more likely I will be gouged or it will be stolen out from under me.

I've been working on computational engineering topics on my own for about a year and a half since I have been unemployed. I am interested in developing my own website, free and clear. I have gotten to the point that I can access what I have built on my local network. I run a Macbook Air and dual boot a tower with Ubuntu 22.04 and Windows 10. I built a website on Github but I want to run my own version on Apache from my Ubuntu OS. So far I have an Apache server running and I can access my website with the web address (httpS://www.example.com) I want from the Ubuntu tower. When I am on my Mac I have to type the IP address of the tower to access the site; the web address won't work. I can do the same thing from my iphone while in the house as well. I have created my own SSL certificate (though I am not a certificate authority). When I access the website on the tower with the web address, Mozilla bonks me with a security warning. It says that there is no ownership information, though when I made the SSL cert, I provided a lot of info. I have a legitimate company verified with the IRS (established Jan 2022). I have a paypal account for any financing I may need to do, though I don't want to support greedy ISPs that horde resources and spy on their clients. I can provide practically any info you may need and I appreciate any advice you can give to help me avoid paying through the nose for a pet project that will NEVER turn a profit, especially if it has any additional overhead. I was given the tower through a contract position and I want to use it to it max value.

All that being said, I appreciate a stranger listening to my problems and considering them for a thoughtful response. I understand you have a boss and you may need to say what you need to say. I will try my best to be respectful; though I am rarely respected.

This is a many years old account/install with Netscape/Firefox, now 116.0.1, 64-bit Windows.

When offered a box for email step 1 login -- this site, for example -- FF auto fill offers my correct address first, but then there are two offered below that in the auto fill offers that are not mine.

How can I access where those are stored and remove those erroneous or mal email addresses?

Searching here infers the Profile; yes, my first guess, but my Profile is 725 MB ... so any hints available?

I got an error message when playing a movie that said clear cookies & cache so I did that. The movie played after I did that. Now today I opened a weather link and when I clicked on precipitation it didn't work. I clicked on a One Tab link to youtube and it opened youtube home page, not the specific link with all my history and feed lost. And some youtube videos would not play. I tried to open my Outlook email from one tab, but I just got outlook and had to re-sign in. And then I could not open an email. I had to switch to chrome to open the email. I tried to use trouble shoot safe mode. I was able to play a youtube video, but my extensions were then unavailable in safe mode, so no one tab. I am 75 and not very computer proficient, and I am afraid I will make things worse because I cannot predict the outcome of the steps offered. Mozilla/Firefox updates automatically, so I have the latest version of that and I have macOS Catilina version 10.15.5 Is there anyway to undo this mess? I need help at the most basic possible level. Can the clear cookies & cache be undone? Is my youtube history & feed able to be restored some how? Help please!!!

All of a sudden this morning Firefox is displaying pages (my purchases on Amazon) in Times Roman font. On other sites, I hover over a link which should be active, but clicking does nothing. YouTube doesn't play, just hangs with the in progress circle spinning. Anybody know what can be causing these issues? I've rebooted my Windows 10 laptop several times, but I can't Firefox to work.

Thanks for your help.

Weird navigation behaviour for angular app

I am developing an Angular App which uses a web-socket for backend communication. Interestingly, whenever I open the app in firefox (localhost:4200) the navigation bar breaks. I can't change the URL manually anymore, but every time I submit a changed URL it first redirects to the specified page but then immediately overwrites the navigation with the previous URL.

Example:

  1. Call http://localhost:4200/
  2. Sometimes the first additional navigation works, but afterwards all manual changes using the address bar will result in the behavior shown in the below image.

Steps I have taken to narrow down the error cause:

  • I ruled out a device specific issue, since the problem occurs on both my machines.
  • It is specific to firefox, since both edge and chrome work perfectly fine
  • I don't think it is related to the angular router and the way I use it, since it would be quite weird that a website could force a user to stay on it.
  • It is not related to the Angular CLI since the error also occurs when I deploy the angular with nginx.

I haven't found any hints on what might cause this behavior or even how to debug the network traffic further to maybe see what is causing the navigation override.
