Hi,

My firefox email account keeps showing 'You've tried to sign in too many times with an incorrect account or password' even after repeatedly resetting password and emptying cache and waiting 24hrs between attempts. It works fine on Edge and other computers, just my main compuuter thats giving me problems.. Any ideas?

Hello,

These error messages can result from a compromised IP address which you can check here:

https://www.akamai.com/us/en/clientrep-lookup/ or here: https://dnschecker.org/ip-blacklist-checker.php?

However, this post is for the condition where these messages are received yet your IP address is clean.

I have two browsers installed Firefox and Chrome. Firefox has problems with an ever increasing number of websites (that are switching to Akamai Edgesuite) while Chrome marches on without issues.

I recently discovered the Browser User Agent identification string that is used by the server to determine what browser it is talking to. This is useful for serving content correctly to different types of devices like a phone or PC. You can find your Browser User Agent string here:

https://dnschecker.org/whats-my-ip-address.php

So thinking that this might be Firefox's problem I copied the string from my working Chrome installation and added it to Firefox. Unfortunately the issue continues.

So somehow Edgesuite is using something MORE than just the user agent string to kick Firefox to the curb. Does anyone have any clues as to what this might be and how to get Firefox in the good graces of Edgesuite?

Thanks, Steve

helloooo

i am experiencing an issue with firefox where backup (Firefox Backup) is not working since version 148.0

problem: - when I try to create a backup, i get the error: “Hmm, there was a problem with the backup. Please try again in a few minutes.”

what I have already tried: - enabled and disabled backup password - changed the backup folder/location - cleared browser cache - tested across multiple updates (issue persists)

- backup is enabled, but I cannot create one - the error occurs every time - restarting the browser and system did not help

I am trying to access static IP addresses on my Intranet. I could in the past type in the IP address and I would get a notice that the site is not secure and allow me to continue to the site. Now it tells me that the website cannot be reached. I need to get to the GUI interface of cameras on my network. How do I get this to work?

bold text'I am so fed up with these updates loosing my passwords and data, why ? All my settings are messed up and last time it took two weeks to get everything back, why? I give up total idiots for releasing updates that are sub par!

So I use a translation website for translating images, and I noticed that dragging and dropping images onto the translator ends with them all being titled "Image" and saved, then, as "Image (1)" "Image (2)" etc, or just not dropping. I use this on a daily basis and don't have time to rename every single file. Please help!

In Firefox for the last 2 months or more with some ebay searches (and also Google searches- I do a search- then I select 'images' at the top) only the first few (2-6) lines of images are displayed. The results after that have no image displayed. This problem has appeared in the last few months- I thought you would have fixed it by now- there was no problem before then. I've tried doing the same searches in another browser ( MS Edge ) and there is no problem- so now I am forced to use MS Edge for some things, but I would prefer to use Firefox. Please fix it!

With the "Open previous windows and tabs" preference checked on a PC (don't know if Mac or other has this issue), if you had multiple windows open, closing all of them at once via "Close all windows" in the Firefox app's Tasks menu on the taskbar (with multiple windows open, right click the Firefox app on the taskbar to open the Tasks menu, then click "Close all windows"; if only one window open, it'll say something singular instead of plural), it used to be so that when you try to reopen Firefox, all your multiple previous windows would reopen. Instead, it now only reopens one of them, I think maybe the last window you were looking at.

Now you could try to reopen the other windows via the History -> Recently closed windows, but that's assuming that the other windows are saved onto there, because it seems that there are times when they are no longer saved there.

I'm not sure this is for sure the reason why it's no longer in History anymore, but my place has had some electrical work being done by the city outside, so twice there have been notices given that the power would be shut off within a short period, meaning twice my PC was shut off within that short period. My guess is that after it shut off the first time, I had that short period of time to reopen the other closed Firefox windows because it was indeed saved in History, but I didn't notice that Firefox didn't reload ALL of the windows - only one. So when the power shut off a second time, that history was lost. This is just a guess - maybe Firefox auto deletes it after some time, idk. But mine are no longer there, so fml I guess.

I also tried sessionstore-backup, but the earliest one was within the last 2 weeks and the other windows still were not in the History.

Is there some second Preference checkbox option that needs to be checked, or can y'all change it back to what it was before?

During the last desktop update I lost all of my bookmarks. I’ve tried to sync between my iPhone and desktop but when I finally got paired nothing happened with the sync from my phone to desktop

How do I answer this request? I cannot find any "ad blocking".

Your browser prevents the display of ads, ads help to run and improve this site. We show only one ad per page. Please turn off ad blocking, thank you.

I have tried to bookmark websites recently and cannot. Once the star in the web address turns blue the pop up scree will appear. I hit the save button and the website does not bookmark in the file created for say 'news' bookmarks. I tried with other websites/bookmark files. Nothing seems to be happening.

Hi

I am new to firefox and i need to use a mic for some close captions i use. I went to the settings -> privacy & security -> Microphone but when i click on it, it only tells me sites that i can allow or block. Even when i am on the website with the allowed mic, I can enable the closed captions because firefox isnt allowing me use a mic. Is there a way to fix this because I have to still use chrome because of this and its really frustrating

Hello,

Is it possible to hide the green "New" label next to new features, such as the current "Add Split View" example? There should be an option for the label to be automatically removed once the feature has been used at least once.

Thank you and best regards, Martin
