When going to mail.yahoo.com, I get this error message:

The page isn't redirecting properly An error occurred during a connection to guce.yahoo.com. • This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies.

and this is the URL that I am redirected to: https://guce.yahoo.com/consent?brandType=nonEu&gcrumb=bWAMXTs&done=https%3A%2F%2Fmail.yahoo.com%2F

It works OK with Chrome, I just do not like Chrome! I made changes to allow cookies and that made no difference.

Whanks, Wes C

Hello! I was reading a pdf file in Firefox, and I wanted to bookmark a page to read it later. Unfortunately, on the top right hand corner, I can't find the bookmark button (the ribbon button), and in the settings there is no way to find it or the option related.

Could you help me? Thanks.

pdf files fail to download in Firefox, but not other browsers. In particular these sites:

https://heinonline-org.ezproxy.socialaw.com/ https://1.next.westlaw.com/ https://www.medicare.gov/my/eMSN https://fc7.fastcase.com https://www.mlb.com/

However, I can download from non-password protected sites like:

https://www.irs.gov/ https://www.ssa.gov/ https://www.sec.state.ma.us/

Downloads work in other browsers. I've checked various items in the settings and none of them help.

I like Firefox, but if it won't, I will go elsewhere.

Within the last few days, I've noticed I'm losing functionality in certain online apps through the Firefox browser.

When I'm on Instagram, I can't check direct messages: the function stalls out without resolving.

In Gmail, I'm unable to embed an image in an email. I can attach it like normal, but the embed button doesn't respond.

In Starry AI, I'm unable to use any menu options at all, I'm stuck at being logged into the account and can't logout, check my settings, or request help. I receive this message: "Application error: a client-side exception has occurred (see the browser console for more information)"

Hi, its been a while now that I've noticed every version of FF doesn't work that well with Facebook. For example, I'm scrolling through posts and when I click on a picture to open the post, the mouse click area is miles out to close pop up windows etc. It only happens on some posts but a majority is this issue.

Anyone else has this problem? FB via Chrome works fine.

ONE EXAMPLE - This morning I wanted to sign into my Navy Federal Credit Union account. I got the following error message:

You don't have permission to access "http://signon.navyfederal.org/siteminderagent/forms/mfa.fcc" on this server.

Reference #18.7efdd17.1710862426.19b449b3

I called the Credit Union. NO PROBLEMS at their end. I was asked which browser. I was told that Firefox is frequently the problem! I changed to Google Chrome and had NO trouble signing in.

I have had this problem previously with a few other websites.

ANY WAY for ME to fix the problem since I FAR prefer Firefox?

Thanks,Arthur

I keep getting Review Your Global Privacy Control preferences message, almost every time I start the browser. I have selected "Don't Allow" option many times and have also went and managed my privacy controls. But, the popup message won't stop coming.

How do I stop the popup message?

I have been Firefox/Mozilla user from the very early days but I am at a point where I have to stop using it because of this annoying popup message.

How can I overrun the Secure Connection Failed?

Every time this happened to me it was a false alarm, even with one internet service provider before clicking 4 times on the «Try Again» button. I fail to understand why is Firefox taking decisions that only belong to me. I cannot accept any browser or whatsoever deciding over my own wish. An advice is welcome, but not take the command. With the advice, Firefox has done its duty well. Then, if someone takes a wrong decision that will be up to him and himself alone. Furthermore, all the advices I have had up to date were wrong, the most frequent being a certificate just expired shortly ago.

I am with Firefox since it appeared, the Netscape and then a Mozilla with editing facility, many years ago. I kept it because it is a browser that we can «domesticate», but if it changed to this point where we cannot do what we want or need, it seems that I'll finally have to change browser. There are a few other very safe browsers, like Tor, but still, I am used to Firefox.

So, how can I overrun the Secure Connection Failed, please?

Refer to the attached image ... I've looked thru history, bookmark manager, all the settings, and so on and this site cannot be removed from the URL suggestions! Your documentation suggested clicking a button on the far right, but it's non-existent. You also suggested to scroll down to highlight/select the URL and SHIFT+DEL, but that does nothing. I've been trying to get rid of this obsolete website link for over a year and it's an absolute mystery where the link is coming from and bugs me.

Looking forward to more suggestions.

I'm using Firefox on Windows 11.

Frequently, copy-and-paste quits working.

I restart the browser and refresh the browser; sometimes it starts working, but most of the time it doesn't.

Restarting my computer seems to restore the functionality.

This has been going on for a few months now. Using version 123.0.1 (64-bit).

Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.
