Firefox Support Forum

All downloads fail instantly even after uninstalling, deleting, and purging data on my computer. I've gone through safe mode, disabeling any and all programs related to antivirus and connection (PIA and Malwarebytes) and not a single file will even start to dowload. They fail and end up as corrupted clutter in my Download folder.

PS: The only way I was able to reinstall was via Chrome. Its only a problem on Firefox.

I have just reinstalled the newest version of Firefox, and both addons I use (Pinterest Save Button and OneTab) installed but no longer show an icon on the toolbar, I have tried safe mode but no joy.

When I play any Instagram story there is no sound. I checked the Volume Mixer is registering that there is sound coming through. Also if I go into the app there is sound.

When I visit Google Maps I get a general view of where I am at the city level. However, for quite some time, clicking on the locator dot gives the message "Google Maps does not have permission to use your location."

If I check my location settings using hamburger > preferences > Privacy & Security > Permissions > Location, I see a handful of websites in a dropdown list (none of them are Google Maps), with no way of adding others. The box for "Block new requests . . ." is NOT checked.

I don't see any other location-blocking settings.

Some websites will prompt me to allow location access; allowing it never adds the site to my whitelist. Sometimes I just keep getting prompted to allow access in a loop.

I am using Firefox Quantum 69.0.2 on OSX.

Extension-wise, I am using DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials, but disabling it does not fix the problem.

When trying to load the website www.workintexas.com, I receive the following error message:

Secure Connection Failed

An error occurred during a connection to www.workintexas.com. Cannot communicate securely with peer: no common encryption algorithm(s). Error code: SSL_ERROR_NO_CYPHER_OVERLAP

This appears to be affecting Firefox on several of my devices: Ubuntu/Linux, maOS, and Android. The error does not appear to be effecting Lynx on Ubuntu, Safari on macOS or Chrome on Android.

I've tried the following troubleshooting steps on Firefox 69.0.2 running on Ubuntu to try to resolve this:

• Updated software on Ubuntu
• Restarting computer
• Cleared History/Cookies/Cache
• Check to make sure TLS and SSL setting were set to default
• Checked Network setting in Firefox
• Tried disabling IPv6
• Tried accessing with Firefox in Safe Mode

I had previously accessed this website less than two days ago on this same browser.

My instinct says that there's probably something misconfigured on the server - probably with the security certificate - but then why did it work in Lynx, Safari, and Chrome?

Anybody have any ideas what's up?

Ive tried everything from this article https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/cant-download-or-save-files and this one https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-and-diagnose-firefox-problems. I tried opening in safe mode. that didnt work. I also reset my computer as this is a brand new PC, and i cant figure it out. I have no idea whats causing it, it just randomly happened today in my web design class when i was trying to download some files

Since the most recent Firefox update has anyone else found it is not possible to log into various websites / pages requiring personal credentials (ie username, email, password)? There are at least 3 or 4 sites that I have been able to log into for many years, that no longer allow me to access. I have checked and double checked the Privacy & Security tab in Options and none of the Exceptions or Manage Data entries have changed. When I phone the various companies the common answer is do not use Firefox, rather use Microsoft Edge, which works! Please help restore Firefox functionality so that it works!

I was just looking at file types in Firefox and saw open eml file and the files rfc822. what is it/ and what is the default for opening this file do i use Thunderbird note pad ? Please tell me what that file is

Recently Search Suggestions stopped working, I now have to type in full URLs where previously after a few letters I'd usually be directed to the correct URL, especially with sites I visit often. I checked in Preferences and everything is turned on as it should be. I tried turning Search Suggestions off and then turning them back on but that did not help. I have not tried anything further since I'm a bit concerned I might make things worse.

Any help/suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

I had a virus on the old FF so I uninstalled and reinstalled. Now when I open FF all my bookmarks are there but they are at least 6months out of date. What should I do?

Downloading isn't working on Firefox. Works on Edge and Opera. Doesn't seem to work with any files, regardless of size. Already reinstalled, refreshed and done everything else I can find. What else? Edit: Works on my laptop; The issue is only on my desktop.

The files still appear in my destination folder but they are all 0 KB. This problem appeared completely out of the blue. I already tried resetting Firefox and all the solutions suggested here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/cant-download-or-save-files

Navigating to an HTTPS site (ex. https://consul.service.consul) works fine with my imported sub-ca cert as it includes consul.service.consul as a SAN. If I change the port the site is served from to something non-standard however, the site comes back as not trusted (ex. https://consul.service.consul:8501). Is this expected behavior to have to include port numbers in a SAN listing for certificates, or is this a bug potentially?
