Firefox Community Forum

For the past few days almost every site I try to visit gets the error:

Secure Connection Failed An error occurred during a connection to.... SSL received a record that exceeded the maximum permissible length. Error code: SSL_ERROR_RX_RECORD_TOO_LONG

this has happened on and off in the past for one or two sites but usually fixes itself within a day or less but this time it's been days. I tried everything I've seen online: -Try without add ons, - I am using 'system settings' proxy, -Followed an 8-yr-old suggestion of switching security.tls.version.max from 4 to 3 -My AV doesn't have HTTPS scanning that I can disable -It doesn't allow me to toggle the 'enhanced tracking is on' in the address bar -I've tried adding a site as an exception to DNS over HTTPS and turning Enable DNS over HTTPS off

Nothing has helped. These are all sites I've used in the past. I am using Nightly v150 at the moment but obviously same situation with FF or R3dfox.

If anyone can suggest how to bypass this so I don't have to use Edge/Chrome/Supermium (which all display these sites without issue) I'd appreciate it so much!

(*I'm looking for help with THIS issue on a W7 laptop, not about whether I should upgrade the OS.)

Thanks.

Hope Firefox can continue support Windows 7 with all Firefox new features..

Would like to use built-in VPN in Firefox... Will it be supported (how to use) in Firefox version 115 Windows 7 ?

Thanks

Hi, since some weeks I'm unable to access some websites with Firefox, cause I get 403 errors, for instance https://www.bexley.fr/. It works well with Chrome on the same computer+same OS, or with a newer version of Firefox on W10 (same computer, dual boot), but with my W7 and Firefox 115.35.1esr I can't access them because of that error. Any idea how I could fix that ? All my computers on W7 and the same version of Firefox are concerned. Thank you.

I used Pocket for a while. It was excellent since it allowed taking a webpage and converting it to a document that could be copied and pasted to Microsoft word. This allowed further analysis and work on the contents of the page and was extremely useful.

Now that Pocket is gone is there another extension or a purchased extension that does the same thing on the present day Firefox.

I presently use Windows 7 and Windows 10.

Appreciate any suggestions.

Starting with the most recent Firefox update a new small grey search bar containing the letters ENHAN appears in the upper right portion of my home page. It is intrusive and useless and I DO NOT WANT IT. How can I make it go away? I have Googled this extensively and have not found an answer. Please help. Thank you.

Since to your "upgrade"to firefocx on my computer I can no longer watch youtube or iplayer videos. Pease say how I can downgrade my version so as to be able to see these.

i can't do a search. I keep getting "problem loading page" and "secured connection failed" This is happening on both my windows 7 computer and my windows 10 computer. The same thing is happening if I try a google search as well.

Just over a week ago, I found that a particular page transition always crashed by browser tab (i.e. a reproducible crash). This occurred on the Quora.com website when visiting the 'Questions' tab for any Quora Space. I am not aware of anything special associated with this operation, and it works OK in Chrome. There may be other cases -- outside of that particular website -- but that is the one most affecting me at the moment.

There are no associated Windows events logged. I checked about:crashes and the Crash Report folder but i cannot find any readable details.

If I refresh the page then the transition occurs without problem.

I would like to find the cause myself because I am on an Windows 7 64-bit ESR version, although I do not believe this is an ESR issue as it was working fine a couple of weeks ago. it is just that I cannot find any logged information on the cause.

Hello. I installed the add on Tranquility Reader, found I did not like it, and uninstalled it. I have restarted my Firefox, as well as my PC, several times, but I still do not have graphics back like they were before. Am I missing something? Or has my whole system just gone on to another world??? So Aggravated! TIA Christie

Version: 115.27.0esr

Hello.

I 'might' be missing a detail but there is no 'X,' in the top right corner, when viewing Google Reviews.
