Unable to load "accounts.firefox.com" - regardless of browser - can't Sign in to use Sync as a result - Win11

Hi all, I've got a puzzling problem with just one desktop PC on my network, and only in Windows 11 (fully updated) - the same PC when booted into another OS (Ubuntu) works without any issues.

I have a fresh install of the latest Firefox as well as the Developers Edition. MS Edge is also updated to the latest build, yet none of them can load the "accounts.firefox.com" page.

All I get is a completely blank page, save for a blue circle on the top left corner. I've tried all the usual resetting, Troubleshooting Mode... etc, (issue is present in Troubleshooting Mode) and pretty much stumped at this point.

All other websites I've tested with all browsers don't seem to have any issues at all, including the likes of "accounts.microsoft.com" or "accounts.google.com".

Google hasn't turned up with any results matching exactly what I'm seeing with this particular machine/problem... hoping someone can help pointing me in the right direction.

Thanks in advance,

Firefox beta release: 116.0b6 (64-bit)

On sites such as BBC.com, Youtube.com and Facebook.com I am not getting the normal cookie consent pop-up option which used to automatically show on opening the sites. Other sites are still showing the cookie consent option pop-ups. This means I cannot select if I wish to accept or reject cookies on several sites that used to allow me the option.

In checking about:config, the cookiebanners.service.mode is set to 1, which I believe this the correct setting for enabling the cookies consent pop-up option.

Is there any fix for the cookie consent pop-up not working on certain sites within the EU? I am not using a VPN or pop-up blocker. Tracking protection is set to Standard, cookies and site data are always deleted on closing Firefox and "Do Not Track” signal is set to always. Deleting all installed FF extensions has no effect either.

In other browsers on the same PC, Chrome and Edge, the cookie consent option does still work as it should on the sites mentioned. In Firefox it doesn't.

This is only happening on one PC. My latop has the same FF beta build installed and is not showing this behaviour, it still automatically shows the cookie consent pop-ups when visiting sites such as BBC.com, Youtube.com and Facebook.com.

Using latest version of Firefox - 116.0

Unfortunately recently I have been unable to drag files out of the 'Downloads' At the same time, I noticed I can no longer copy images from pages.

I will right click, copy image and it just does not go into my clipboard.

In terms of the Downloads, I'd always download audio or video files and drag them straight into Premiere Pro - I can no longer do this. I cannot drag it outside of Premiere either, so it's not an Adobe bug.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks

If I search for something in the address bar, Firefox will endlessly load. I need to click the address bar and hit enter to search again which will instantly load what I'm looking for. Same thing happens if I highlight a text and click search with google. URLs seem to work fine.

Dear team, I request support to search and find my data syncronized in the mozilla firefox account, which has been lost unexpectedly and I don't know where it is. I am using ubuntu LTS 22, I have uninstalled the package and made a clean install, with the reason that all my browser data disappeared overnight, as if it was its first use, my session in the firefox account and all my data disappeared. After installing the clean copy, I opened my account to synchronize my data, bookmarks and history, themes and extensions, unfortunately none of this happened, I don't know where all my private data is, which I left available to synchronize and recover again, I request a copy of them to restore them and to return the flow through the synchronization function so that they appear again, contact me at this same email. Best regards, stay connected

I get no warning when auto updates begin installation. I get notified about 1/2 way through the process. The pc (Win 10 pro 64bit) slows to a crawl for 5-10 minutes, then the install finishes, & then it's another 5-10 minutes before the pc is usable.

I would really appreciate a "update is available" notification, which I would agree to at a convenient time. This is really getting to be problematic. Other browsers that do auto updates don't hose my pc.

Thank you!

I Did the windows fresh installation on my laptop and then I installed the fresh firefox on my laptop. After that try to sign in my previous Firefox account and try to sync my bookmarks and everything. but sync is not working.

I try to do the force sync from the settings as well but that is still not sync my old bookmarks and saved things before I format my laptop.

Any Idea or workaround to get this sorted ?

The following just started a week or so ago. When I start Windows 11 (latest version), Firefox (build 116.0 64 bit) automatically starts and the page that displays is attempting to access one of my Microsoft accounts. I tried toolkit.winRegisterApplicationRestart. but nothing changed. There is nothing in my Startup folder related to Firefox, and msconfig doesn't list anything as a startup process.

What's strange is that this just started happening. I've used Firefox as long as I can remember, and have never had this issue.

Short of uninstalling Firefox and reinstalling it, does anyone have any suggestion(s)? Thanks.

The last Walmart questions are 2022, so again... When I click a link to Walmart, for a second I see the full site displayed correctly on my desktop monitor, then it shrinks to about half to the left side. Windows 10 up to date, Firefox 116.00. Enhanced tracking, whether on or off, doesn't matter. Walmart is the only site I have this issue with. Is it Walmart's fault?

I went to use my eBay web page and part of the information is missing (see attachment). The seller information, etc., should show at the right hand side of webpage, but it is blank. I tried different pages and the same thing still occurred. I tried opening the same page on Microsoft Edge and there was no problem at all. I had no issue with eBay at all until I updated to Version 116.

As of installing the latest cumulitive update to Windows 10 (version 22H2, build 19045.3271), every time I restart my computer and open Firefox, it opens and immediately closes. Then I reopen it, and it does not ask for my primary password. I often have to reset the password and then it gives me access to my stored information. This is a brand new problem, and it's extrememly frustrating. I have tried downloading the program again and re-installing as an update. And Firefox is also up to date (116.0). Any suggestions as to why it's happening or how to fix it? Thanks.

Logins appear on log-in pages as soon as I type anything in the user box. I have not told Firefox to save any logins or passwords, I do not want it to do that. But on the "saved logins" page after going to the Passwords item on the main menu (three lines) it says No Logins Are Found. None. How do I make sure none are saved, since obviously some are being saved somewhere? And how can I get rid of the ones that appear, so must be saved somewhere? I use Windows 10, and Firefox with the latest updates as of August 2, 2023. Norton 360 is installed. Thank you for help with this.

This has never been a problem. However about 2 weeks ago Firefox took control of itself. For example: You have site A open, you finish your work on site A and move on to a second site( we will call it B). Site B opens and then is quickly replaced by site A again.

This time the bar at the browser screen top is pink and has a little machine like head at the end. You click on the little head fellow and it will say Site under remote control Dev. Tools.

I have spoken to Dell two times, Dell has removed and re-installed Firefox one time and it is still the same. Dell says your people are working on your site and it will go way in time. Help Thank you Leonard Santamaria
