Hi,

we have some appliances with a webadmin interface over https with a custom port. Since one of the last Updates, Firefox 102.3 (portable) is still working, I can not load the webadmin of said appliances when I try to connect over DNS or the WAN IP, it's only allowed to be accessed through our WAN IP or from the local network. When I connect with the internal IP address of the Appliance or if I use Opera/Edge (both I don't want to use) I get the option to accept the Security Risk and Continue. It's not with every Appliance, same vendor, same firmware but maybe newer certificate. But all certificates still valid, but self-signed.

What can we do, other than not use Firefox?

Greetings from Germany, Andreas

Recently had my FF update to version 115.0 automatically. With the update, watching videos on youtube is impossible. Videos show buffering but never play the video and do not start even with skipping around. Same thing goes for live streams on twitch where the chats will load but not the actual stream. Other videos in news websites appear to be the same. Issue is not resolved in private browsing.

My website https://www.kdka100.org will not load all data on its front page on Firefox, but works fine on Edge and Chrome. I have looked for settings to correct but to no avail. I spoke to the hosting company and all certificates should be OK now. The front page portion being blocked has photos which use the rollover feature to display text. The rest of the site appears to be working as it should. Any help appreciated.

I'm getting loads of SSL errors when trying to connect to various web pages. The errors don't seem to relate to the target pages, something in the connections fails.

The symtoms appear to be similar to this closed bug which doesn't seem to have been resolved. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1378352

Two of the more recent errors were: SSL_ERROR_DECODE_ERROR_ALERT SSL_ERROR_BAD_MAC_READ

There were several more which I don't remember.

Has anyone come up with a resolution?

For the past few months, Firefox V 115, will not save bookmarks on any folder except Bookmarks Toolbar. I have gone through the Help sections and have followed the various steps to find, and change, the bookmark files. They are always marked 'read only'. I change them and try to save a bookmark. Nothing. When I restart Firefox, the files are back to 'read only' again. What am I doing wrong?

How do I solve this problem?

In my search suggestions in the search bar, when I click "youtube.com" for this example, it now says "switch to tab" which automatically switches to an open youtube tab, rather than opening a new tab.

There is no way to turn this 'feature' off. It doesn't let me pick which youtube tab it switches to, just the first one regardless of how many instances of a website there are open.

Please remove this feature, or give us a way to turn it off.

Forcing Cmd/Ctrl+click to ALWAYS open the link in a background tab - even in Google Docs?

My preferences are set so that "When you open a link, image or media in a new tab, switch to it immediately" is OFF. Therefore most of the time when I Cmd+click on a link, it opens on a new tab that loads in the background. This is what I want.

However, some websites break that behavior. 2 high-profile examples:

  • In Google Docs, if a piece of text links to an URL, clicking on the text shows a small window with the URL. Cmd+click on that URL opens it in a new tab, and takes me to that tab.
  • In Facebook Messenger, if I Cmd+click on a chat, again the chat opens in a new tab and I'm taken there. Additionally, the original tab activates that chat.

Interestingly, in both these cases, I get the right behavior if I right-click on the URL or in the chat and in the contextual menu choose "Open link in new window/tab/container tab": the new tab stays in the background.

So my question is: does anyone know of a way to always make cmd+click behave just like "Open link in new tab", no matter the website?

I'm on Firefox 115b4 on macOS, but this has been like this for years at least.

Im having an issue with firefox where the tabs keep crashing i cant go a day without the tabs crashing 50-60 times or even the browser itself crashing, ive tried relaunching without addons, with troubleshoot mode on, firefox on a different drive but, it is still crashing, i looked at the error logs and if im reading it right (im not at all knowledgeable in how to debug software) it is always crashing at a point where the module is none and the signature is an address value, I put screen shots of the error reports showing the numerous crashes, before I think its a hardware issue like a bad stick of ram (which i dont think cause i ran memtest 86 test overnight with no errors), a faulty motherboard, or god forbid a faulty cpu and start firing the parts cannon at the issue i want to rule out any software angles for the problem.
