Why does attempt at loading a UK Government web page (https://vehicleenquiry.service.gov.uk/) produce a "Secure connectionn failed - Error code: PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR" message?

I managed to load the same web page by using Chrome.

This is my crash ID: bp-ff99f648-78ab-4cad-b1f5-7aaa70240902 I've already tried troubleshoot mode, same result. I do have a userContent.css file, but deleting it makes no difference, and I can think of no other major change I've made to my installation.

I would prefer not to have to reinstall Firefox.

Firefox freezes intermittently, and when I examine the situation with Windows' Task Manager, I see a large number of Firefox threads active while I have only two tabs in use, and memory usage running rapidly up to the 50-70% range (I have 16 GB). While I'm not qualified, it seems there may be a memory leak issue. The situation clears itself after a just few or a few tens of seconds, but then may recur within a minute or so. This started a few weeks ago, now happens almost daily and is making Firefox, my preferred browser, somewhat unusable.

My system: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4790 CPU @ 3.60GHz 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor Windows 10 Pro OS Build 19045.4842 Firefox Version 115? VPN Windscribe Version 2.10.16

Ever sense the last update when I try to log into quicken online or ga lottery online the user login page just siting there with the spinning blue circle and finally times out. This continues to happen even after clearing browser history. I tried to login to those same sites using another browser (Microsoft Edge) and they worked just fine with no issues.

How do i get the search URLs from the previous browser to pop up log-ins automatically to favorite sites when beginning to type in the URL ? Like using an old Social Media links - Rumble or Facebook .login ; or an Ebay log in a gmail log in?

Do i need to restart the computer ?

Firefox is set to the English (UK) language on my Windows 10 PC but I occasionally see Spanish words shown after the English word. Eg. BBC News provides trusted World and UK noticias news as well as local and regional … The word (in this case "noticias" ) appears with a faint, light blue background. Here's another example "BBC Business brings you the latest in Business news and cobertura from … Again word (in this case "cobertura" ) appears with a faint, light blue background. I've tried all the settings that I can find in Firefox and everything is set to UK English.

I do not understand why AFTER I used Firefox Delete History that my Charter.net email can no longer be accessed.' I have had Spectrum technicians over here, it is not in their wiring, or outside lines. They cannot go further. I attempt to log into Spectrum & this message comes up - A RED !,followed by This feature is currently unavailable. Please try again from HOME or contact us for assistance. IDID-4000'

I AM AT HOME! I worked/talked with 4 different Charter/Spectrum people on the phone over a 3 day period. briefly I was able to get into the Charter account (Necessary because my VA & other medical appointments/communications are via charter.net) using Microsoft Edge. I no longer can. I am getting that message on Edge as well. I do not want to use Edge or Chrome, I want to use my Mozilla/Firefox/Thunderbird But that is another issue which I cannot get resolved. My monthly contributions to both get through but I cannot even get into Thunderbird for Months & can't get help. At 83, I am computer challenged. Nobody wants to make house calls. What is wrong? What can I do? What do you suggest? Kat Hall

I'm really shocked that the developers at Firefox has not at all fixed the memory leak issue, which caused my PC to crash three times in a row. This is clearly unacceptable; even other browsers I use don't eat up a lot of RAM in a matter of seconds that ends up my PC lagging, or worse, crashing as a result. To the Firefox devs; why are you overlooking an ongoing issue that should've been easily fixed from the get-go, especially with updates that obviously have nothing to do with the memory leak issue? It's really easy to make such a popular browser not hog up memory so easily without causing so much lag, even on higher end PCs.

If the memory leak issue isn't fully resolved by greatly reducing memory usage, especially if I'm only using one or two tabs with me, I will have to consider seeking for another working browser that does not have a memory leak issue, and remove Firefox and never reinstall it altogether.

I want to access a banking site (Capitec.co.za) but am unable to land on their splash page - I just get a blank page, and wait. I can get access via TOR or Opera. I was told to enter using SAFE MODE "Shift+R+Firefox". Anyone know what the issue is? Without guessing. Windows on Thinkpad.

As a Chinese user, I am very dissatisfied with the inability to use the translation function. I request to add a Chinese option to the Firefox translation package. Thank you!

Hi, I have a problem with Youtube playback on my machine. Sometimes videos are playing and skipping few seconds, sometimes stopping/hanging and using a lot of CPU (I can hear CPU fan ramping up). It mostly happens when I play videos at 1080p and up. Sometimes video can start playing, then skip few seconds, play few more seconds and hang, sometimes after refresh it works fine, another time it works for like a minute and then again hangs/skips. I had this problem on FF 89, I've updated to 11x, still persisted, now I have FF 125.0.3 (64 bit). Things that i've tried: - enabling/disabling hardware acceleration in FF - enabling/disabling gpu hardware acceleration in Windows - changing some settings in about:config (fe. media.wmf.zero-copy-nv12-texture to false and gfx.direct3d11.reuse-decoder-device to false, and few more) - disabling and deleting addons

PC specs: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X, Asus Tuf X570, GeForce RTX 3070 (latest drivers), Windows 10 22H2

On many site where I try to login, when I hit the LOGIN button nothing happens. This does not happen if I open a private window. I am on version 129.0.2.

The latest update also seems to force Firefox to occasionally run at turtle speed. Any time there is an update Firefox will slow the whole computer to turtle speed. When I reboot, Firefox can take up to 15 minutes to fully load if there is more than one window to load.

Is there a fix for all this? Thanks
