What is with Firefox lately. Endless problems with screen sizing, light dark mode. But what is really pi**ing me off is the inability to connect to certain web pages. No I don't have a any spyware or viruses (I have scanned with 3 different programs) and I have no problems with connecting to the pages with Chrome or Edge. I'm getting the error messages

Did Not Connect: Potential Security Issue Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to www.amazon.ca because this website requires a secure connection.

Did Not Connect: Potential Security Issue Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to www.ebay.ca. If you visit this site, attackers could try to steal information like your passwords, emails, or credit card details. Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to www.google.com because this website requires a secure connection.

Did Not Connect: Potential Security Issue Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to www.google.com has a security policy called HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), which means that Firefox can only connect to it securely. You can’t add an exception to visit this site.Error code: SEC_ERROR_UNKNOWN_ISSUER

And I get the same warning with Amazon, eBay, my email client Shaw Mail, Google Search, and several other pages that require a login. Is there anything I can do to fix this as I'm really starting to rethink my preferred web page browser?

The timezone on my Gmail and a few other sites automatically changes to Africa/Abidjan time on Firefox. This is not an issue with my device as I've checked the timezone on system preferences and it is correctly set to my local time. Additionally, the timezone appears to be correct on other browsers. I checked Firefox on another device and found the same problem.

On over half of all websites I've visited today have came back with the error "OCSP response is not yet valid" including one of Mozilla's own sites (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/) and they work fine in chrome so it's not the sites.

I used a friend's Macbook a few months back and then weeks later he asked me in passing "Why can I see all of your search history?" I really didn't understand his question at the time and wasn't sure what he was referring to. Fast forward to last week and my friend's Mac was stolen. The question he asked in passing now became crystal clear - I had logged onto my Firefox account from his Mac and didn't log out. I have been searching for a way to "Log out of all devices" but have not found a solution. I've read that I can go to that computer I would like to un-sync and log out OR change my Firefox password then change ALL of my other saved passwords. Certainly there must be a simple way to force any device using my account to input the new password next Firefox is accessed.

hi ,

Ive installed a fresh copy of windows 10 on my pc , when installed Firefox , forgot my account password , and didnt now before about the recovery code , so simply I reset the password and logged in to my account , but !!!! I lost all my bookmarks & saved logins . is there any way to get them back again ?

Hi there, Trouble is never far away from windows 10, as I had (yet again) to reset my whole notebook and Firefox and cannot recover previous bookmarks, nor the side bar. I am absolutely throttled on this as all seems unresponsive. I have found a copy of old firefox but it won´t swallow it. How can I get out of this situation which catches me out everytime. keep it simple

I need to change my primary email address as my previous provider will cut off forwards to my new address. How to do I do this? OLD EMAIL: nelda2017@cox.net - my NEW email: nep4393@gmail.com

About a week ago, every time I start Firefox, the cursor is in the url window/address bar instead of the main (google) search window

Unable to locate and modify the correct setting to return to Firefox opening in the main search window not the url/address bar window

All Address Bar — Firefox Suggest settings remain off

I modified keyword.enabled to false as suggested here https://support.mozilla.org/gu-IN/questions/1359116 and restarted firefox however same condition remains

Firefox 105.0, Ubuntu 20.04

Any assist appreciated

In the past, I have not had problems logging into PayPal via Firefox on Windows.

Today, I can get to www.paypal.com but when I try to log in (takes me to https://www.paypal.com/us/signin), my browser window just shows the circling image.

When I tried another browser (Chrome) I got to the login just fine. My Firefox is up to date (105.0.3)

What changed to give this issue and how can one resolve it?

When I try to use the ctrl+shift+t shortcut to restore previously closed tabs, it only restores what tabs were closed in the active window. If I have multiple Firefox windows and I close a tab in a window, I have to have that window selected to restore the tab, I can't restore it from another window. If I close an entire window by accident with multiple tabs I can't restore them with the shortcut. Chrome lets you restore an entire group of tabs and restore from other windows, not only in the current window. Is there any way to modify the behavior so it acts like chrome?

Since the last update, I can't scroll with up down arrows on laptop. Either is doesn't work at all or brings you to the bottom of the page. This happens on any website.

When I right click, the contextual menu opens where the mouse is and what is under the mouse is automatically selected and executed, closing immediately the contextual menu and doing something I didn't asked for. How to not get that?

This question is asked too here https://forum.kde.org/posting.php?mode=post&f=304

I've searched and found problems similar to mine yet different, mine is specifically certain symbols appearing as crossed out rectangles; and when copy pasted here, they appear as so [ ᅠᅠ ]

I've already verified that 'gfx.downloadable_fonts.enabled' has been set to true, and made sure that 'Allow pages to choose their own fonts' has been checked.

I've also tried disabling and enabling the Extensions I have installed, and they had no effect on the issue.

Booting Firefox in Safe Mode also has this issue, whereas Chrome does not. Therefore, I'm wondering if this is a Firefox issue that can be fixed or not.

I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox in hopes of correcting an Express VPN problem. It didn't resolve the problem, but unfortunately it created a new one because all my old settings are gone. Of course they would be, what was I thinking! I see the upgrade.jsonlz4.... in my Old Firefox Data folder, but I've screwed things up so badly already I'm afraid to do anything else. Can someone walk me through what I need to do, or preferably can I pay someone to fix the mess I've created?

Firefox Browser: Your browser is being managed by your organization

In about:preferences i read: Your browser is being managed by your organization For german Users: Der Browser wird durch Ihre Organisation verwaltet. No further info.

This links to: about:policies Enterprise Roots Certificates ImportEnterpriseRoots true No further info

Search here: about:config security.certerrors.mitm.auto_enable_enterprise_roots true security.enterprise_roots.enabled true No further info

So i used regedit.exe Nothing to see here but 1: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Mozilla\Firefox\ HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Policies\Mozilla\Firefox\ No further info

Where else could we see WHO is watching us? This is very important and if we can not see this, EVERYBODY could be this even Malware :( Why is that not visible under about:policies#active ? So this is a security malfunction of Firefox i mean.

Here i found no solution: "Security software uses this to hook in the Firefox internet connection to be able to monitor your internet traffic and possibly warn you or even prevent you from visiting not trusted websites."

BUT how to proove or deny this? I have no control over my security? How should i believe this?

In Firefox loading the browser I can't scroll on many pages including my email program Private Email and my website. The right scroll bar doesn't show nor does the top of the page. I have cleared the cache, cookies and uninstalled Firefox and I still have the problem.

I have the right scroll bar in Chrome but not in Firefox. What's up? How do I fix it?

Thank you, Paula

I've used FF for many years. Today it stopped working. I closed and tried to reopen it and started getting the XPCOM error. I tried refreshing it, to no avail. I uninstalled and re-installed it (several times). It now opens, but when I try to go to a web page, I just get a blank tab. I tried to go into settings. The menu drops down, but when I select settings, nothing happens or shows up.

I'm confused about sync when it comes to sessions. Sessions is not one of the options.

A few days ago, I open Firefox and my profile was broken. Nothing worked in the way of toolbar addon buttons, contest menus, etc. I narrowed the problem down to the session store files.

The session was still present. I could scroll thru it, and select tabs, but hat was about it. Fortunately I was able to get things back working again in a fresh profile, but it was a tricky exercise.

My desktop sessions sync with my phone. Is the re a way to perhaps sync sessions, and do it recursively so you don't get a mess with duplicates and discarded tabs?

I used to to use Tab Session Manager until a couple years ago when it began destroying sessions, and there was no way to retrieve them. Even the supposedly repaired version couldn't reverse the process. Had something to do with the sessionstore-backups folder, so I don't know if I can trust it now.
