after the update to 62 we have been getting alot of this error: the below is from just going to www.google.com but we get this at ANY time on most any page.

Secure Connection Failed

An error occurred during a connection to www.google.com. SSL received a record that exceeded the maximum permissible length. Error code: SSL_ERROR_RX_RECORD_TOO_LONG

system info from the troubleshooting page would not all fit here so it has been pasted UNDER the Share Data info below.

"Upon further investigation between your screenshot, mine and another server I completed, I believe I might have the answer. Firefox does not natively support cipher suite encryption levels above SHA. The server having the issues has the SHA suite completely disabled leaving 256bit keys and above enabled, even with the AES 128 wrapper on a couple of the suites. I will make this change tonight and verify if this is the answer."

This is related to this question above. Has firefox released an update to this yet? Do they support sipher suite encryption levels above SHA1? Our company's website has to be PCI compliant and since meeting PCI standards, we get a "Secure Connection Failed" error only in firefox when loading our site.

Version 62.0b3 (64-bit) (Mac)

To reproduce:

1. Go to a website that performs xhr reqs (i.e. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/new/desktop) 2. CMD + SHIFT + I to open dev tools > Network Tab 3. Either right click on the xhr req and choose edit & resend or one left click then click edit and resend (as shown in screenshot).

PS: it works fine in FireFox; iow, it shows a window to modify req then resending it.

PSS: can you pls add a simple resend option (without editing) makes it a lot faster/easier when debugging.

Thanks.

You can open this link in chrome, IE and safari but not firefox. Firefox can't seem to find our security certificate but all the other bowers can. Is there something we're missing?

Hi,

A bit of an odd one this I think. Have already read all the other threads regarding search problems and pretty sure this isn't the same thing at all.

No matter what I type into the URL / search box it first very quickly flashes up with a Google link (which is what I have set in my preferences for Firefox [I'm using the Developer Edition] to use) then it redirects to Yahoo and uses their search instead.

I have checked all plugins / extensions in Firefox and there are none installed that would do anything like this.

Luckily I was able to halt the browser from performing the redirect so I copied the URL that shows before being redirected to Yahoo.

This is the sort of URL that I am getting :

https://www.google.com/search?q=dog&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-b-ab

Notice the &client=firefox-b-ab at the end. If I take that off the end of the URL then it searches as it should do with Google however with me not changing the URL (which happens automatically as soon as I type something in to search) then it redirects to Yahoo which leads me to believe that Google is redirecting Firefox based upon the fact that it is Firefox?

Why they would do that is utterly beyond me though?

Thanks for any help with this as I'd really love to be able to get back to having Google as my default search engine again as soon as possible.

Best wishes,

Mark

When I started experimenting with ServiceWorkers in Firefox Developer Edition recently, I consented to disabling multi-E10S, but now it seems to be stuck on disabled even when I don't have about:debugging open and debugging a ServiceWorker. I've tried changing a few of the prefs in about:config as suggested for accessibility stuff that may disable it, but no luck. I'd love to get my performance back. :|

Bug for reference: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1345932

I just downloaded Firefox developer edition, and Firefox nightly edition. The problem happens on both of my Linux Mint 18.3 and Linux Mint 19 systems. I can run Firefox developer edition straight away. Problem happens when I launch the Firefox Nightly edition, the regular Firefox pops up. If I open the regular Firefox again, a new window in Nightly opens if the Nightly is already launched. After opening and saving tabs, the tabs are shown on the regular Firefox, and vice versa. This doesn't happens for Firefox Developer Edition. How can I fix that? Please help!

Exactly as above!! I'm using the beta version! The problem is recognised, but nothing has been done about it! I cannot retrieve the passwords (150 or so) from previous versions, and was informed someone was on the case! So, it happened again this morning!

Hi all,

I've got a really weird problem. I love FF's address bar and really frequently use it to go to my favorite sites really quickly. R is immediately autocompleted to say 'reddit.com' so all I have to do is click-R-enter and I'm there. The weird thing is, since a few days ago, the bar doesn't do this for all sites. Just now, I typed in 'map' and maps.google.com shows up in the suggestions as #1, but it doesn't autocomplete to fill it in for me. It used to do that just fine. It's really weird. I've already renamed that json file to reset all settings, but that didn't do anything for me.

Would appreciate any help. I'm on 62.0b5.

Thanks!

Hi! I installed a new Windows and installed Firefox Developer on both of them. But the issuse is although I sign in and sync my data; I can't retrieve my previous bookmarks from the Firefox on the previous OS.

Since Firefox is has become such a badly broken piece of garbage and seems to require constant troubleshooting nowadays, it would be nice if you included a way to quickly disable all addons at once, not one at a time, and not having to close down and restart — just a way to turn them off so I could make sure the problem is with the web page, or with Firefox being fundamentally broken, and not with one of my small handful of addons. The easier you make troubleshooting, the more time we can spend actually browsing the web and getting our work done.

For instance, if you're trying to buy a bus ticket, as I am right now, your time is much more productively spent actually buying the bus ticket, rather than wasting hours troubleshooting Firefox to try and figure out why the bus ticket website doesn't work in firefox when it works properly in every single other browser. Being able to turn addons on and off easily would help in this. I had thought opening a private window would turn the addons off for that window so I could go about my business and just get the consarned ticket bought, but after being unable to figure out how to make that happen I did some googling and it seems this feature was helpfully removed from newer versions of firefox. That would have been a nice thing to keep. Browsers with better features are better. Worse or missing features, not as good.

I would rather not be included in the beta version testing, and would like to set firefox to only using the solid complete versions.

I cannot find how to change the settings on this anywhere.

Hello!

I'm using firefox dev edition, both Mendeley and Evernote addons have stopped working with PDF files.

I have reset the key "disable_full_page_plugin_for_types" in about:config (using right click > reset), because the value was "application/pdf" (now is blank) but I see no improvements.

When using the web version of the pdf.js both clippers work as expected https://mozilla.github.io/pdf.js/web/viewer.html

What am I doing wrong?

I just confirmed that all my new bookmarks are losing the folder I'm assigning to them. Now the last aprox. 20 are in "Other Bookmarks". I saw this before but I thought that I was forgetting to add a folder when I bookmarked a page, but I'm now sure that the new bookmarks are losing the folder at an unspecified time. I can't find any related info and can't create an account in bugzilla to report it. Any help? Thanks.

Update 1: I've disabled Test Pilot add-ons as mentioned below, and at first it seemed fine (I opened the Bookmarks sidebar all the time to watch them, and today they were exactly as I left them yesterday). Later, I was checking the bookmarks in my phone after syncing them and there were differences: a lot of bookmarks I had fixed yesterday now showed again in "Other Bookmarks" (only in the phone, they are ok in the PC); also, I created a subfolder and moved several bookmarks there in the desktop, but in the phone shows the folder empty and the bookmarks are in the previous outside folder (they still are ok in the PC). Another issue: I just came back to the PC and 2 pages I'd bookmarked yesterday with a folder lose it and are now in "Other Bookmarks". I think that all of these issues are related to the Syncing process. At this moment, there are differences between the PC and the phone even if I manually sync both. It's messed up.

The prompt to save login details does not display when submitting the login form on the following site - please try it yourself: http://watch.nowtv.com/mytv/viewing-history

All other sites that I've used work as expected. What part of the site is preventing this option?

Things I have tried/checked: Everything on here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/usernames-and-passwords-are-not-saved, but to summarise: "Ask to save logins and passwords for websites" checked; No sites in [Exceptions...]; Normal browsing, not private; No other password managers.

Changing the password field's autocomplete option from off to on using the built-in Developer Tools Inspector. I have also tried the site on another PC with a fresh install of Windows 10 and Firefox Quantum 62 and it does the same.

One hacky way I've managed to save it in the past was manually adding it to my profile's login.json file, but there should be an easier way than this. I also don't think this method syncs correctly when using the inbuilt Firefox Sycn.

After update (Firefox 62.0b6, Ubuntu 18.04 ) can't add or install any add-on (even from addons.mozilla.org). Popup message says: the addon downloaded from this site appears to be corrupt. I already try to reinstall Firefox, delete extensions files from profile folder. Nothing is helped.
