When I first open Firefox from the icon in my taskbar the opening window says the following:

'Unable to connect Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at 0.0.0.4. The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments. If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer’s network connection. If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the web.'

However this is only the first window, after that I can open a new tab in the same window without any problems.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox without avail. Can anyone help please?

Hi, I had an addon installed through github and I had to realise today it vanished without a trace. Not from github, its still there. I just reinstalled it. Vanished from my browser. With all my settings. Non of the firefox addon store addons were affected by the way.

My question thus: What the fuck and how do I prevent that from happening again?

today i ended up enabling notifications that appeared to be my hoa's website but was a rogue and fake virus software warning of viruses and wanting to update and renew license to remove them.. i get notifications every few seconds from them and had to diable notifications. i did send a note on the "broken link" tab to you guys..

its annoying and my malware bytes didn't catch either. it uses mozilla based to send the notification, i couldn't find a place to block the site.


Thank you. Jeff Wagener [edited phone# from community support forum]

I have tried all settings in Firefox to have a white background in Yahoo and Google, but the black background keeps appearing. I even copied my Firefox settings exactly from a different computer that has my preferred white background, but it didn't work. What other things should I look for besides Language & Appearance, Colors, Extensions and Themes?

I don't want Firefox to import anything from Chrome, not my bookmarks, not my history

I have one computer. I use Chrome for work stuff. I use Firefox for personal stuff. I installed the new Firefox as I was supposed to, and it closed all my tabs. I usually have the option to restore my previous session, but not this time. So I started going back through my history (grrrrr....) and my history is full of all the sites/tabs I visited with Chrome. I DO NOT want work stuff mixing with my personal stuff. Besides the fact that it is making it harder for me to restore my lost tabs, there is a reason I have two different browsers. I wish Firebox weren't trying to change my organizational scheme. I DO NOT WANT FIREFOX TO IMPORT HISTORY OR BOOKMARKS FROM CHROME. How do I turn this off?

Hello,

We ran in-place upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11 on a number of machines. Afterwards, web sites like citibank.com or linkedin.com crash as soon as the page is loaded.

We've uninstalled/reinstalled Firefox, deleted all data, nothing worked.

Anyone else experience this problem? Is there a fix?

Thank you!
