Please help.

I'm on an older version of Firefox (55.0.3) for an old Windows PC I Still use. This morning, Firefox disabled 2 really important add-ons (NoScript being one of them) because of a certificate issue. I checked and it seems that cert8.db somehow got recreated.

In May 2019, there was that major certificate issue in Firefox where all add-ons were disabled. I remember implementing the fix from here: https://www.jeffersonscher.com/ffu/armagadd-on_2_0.html. Unfortunately, none of the links work anymore. Does anybody know if this certificate is still available to download: https://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-release/raw-file/tip/security/apps/addons-public-intermediate.crt

I would just really like to re-implement the fix and resolve this issue. It has been stressing me out a lot today and I can't seem to find a way to resolve this issue. I know that the updating to the latest Firefox is highly recommended. My newer PC has the browser up to date, it's just that I would like to continue using the older Firefox on that old computer.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated on this. I just want to be able to re-enable those add-ons.

Im running Firefox on Apple Silicon and I really do wish that there was a way to change settings to adjust experience when using the browser. As for my current needs I wish there was a barebones mode I could enable because currently it's an energy hog and I am becoming discouraged to continue using it with this inefficiency.

Ill explain my use case, I do lots of research for school, and tend to work with 30-50 tabs at a time and by simply having Firefox open it drains my laptops' battery 3 to 4 X (times) faster. While the same tabs on Safari and even newly released DuckDuckGo Mac app can run those tabs for days while still sipping on battery.

another occassion is during my job search, these tabs will stay open for a week or two as I open jobs im applying to, using 'Skillsyncer' and bunch of gmail tabs. I prefer my laptop to lose 5% battery in 2 hrs instead od 3 minutes.

As things are now, Firefox is not well optimized and would like to let the Firefox team to add the mentioned functionality above. Sadly there's no way to reach out to their team and am instead forced to post here. For now I will refer to Firefox to 'Firefix' as there's plenty to fix.

Hello,

the Startup of our Firefox is slow on some Machines. With Developer-Tools enabled we don´t see any activity in the Network Tab until the Page starts to Load after 35 - 120 seconds.

What we did to determine the Problem so far:

• disabled Anti-Vir

• Disabled VPN-Client and tried connection via LTE-Hotspot to bypass company Network and Firewall

• Changed DNS to 8.8.8.8 and 9.9.9.9

• Deleted Cache

• Changed Startup-Page

• Disabled Secure DNS in Firefox Settings

• Disabled all GPOs on Workstation and deleted policies.json so no Policies got applyed

• deleted Startup-Cache and enabled secure-start in about:support

• reinstalled Firefox

• changed from up to date ESR to latest Release

• Users Temp and Windwos-Temp deleted

No Problems on another similar Workstation with same Firefox Release.

I wonder if there is any startup-debugging capability.

Whenever I am ready to type out my password for my Gmail account using Private on Private window, Firefox asks me to update. Is is legitimate, or Goole is doing something?

ive built a new pc and have a flashing program popup every 10min. upon assistance from a really good pc guy, we've found its a firefox default browser agent with a long code.

its not listed in my scheduled tasks, eyt runs every 10min. only thing close to firefox would be thrunderbird, but iirc, mozilla and thunderbird are not longer the same company. either way. i need this thing to stop running every 10min.

I got a email from you telling me I had purchased something from you. I would like to get into my account so I can understand better exactly what I got, and what my future bill will be. Thank you

Whenever I try to browse the Internet using Firefox, I get a message that says: “an error during a connection. The OCSP response is not yet valid (Contains a date in the future). Error code: SEC_ERROR_OCSP_FUTURE_RESPONSE. The page you were trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.”

This message is coming up more and more when I try to use Firefox and I don't know what to do about it.

Hi, I have a 1Gb/s symmetrical fiber. And when testing Google Chrome and Firefox, Firefox has a problem with uploading to most sites. But somehow it does with Speedtest.net. It's kinda weird tbh. Not to mention I have QoS enabled why the 600 and 700.

Just last week when I went to YouTube to view videos, they played as negatives. What changed? I couldn't find any settings that could change this issue. I have a five-year old Dell desktop PC running Windows 10. Thanks.

Hello,

since this morning, my gmail account doesn't work when I use Firefox on my laptop. After accepting my email address and password, it says that my account is temporarily unavailable (see annex).

But my Google account works perfectly with Edge on the laptop and on my smartphone and tablet.

The problem remains even after restarting the laptop and launching CCleaner

Thank you in advance for your help.

Best regards,

Andrea Forti
