I went to work and when I returned a new router was installed and ever since I get errors on almost all sites I visit. It is the potential security issue, requires secure connection and when I look into the info it says the certificate is being denied because it is self signed. And anytime I go to hit learn more I receive a 400 error and cannot continue. I am also unable to update apps I have on my pc or connect to the internet using anything besides a browser. I get the same kind of error on edge as well as Firefox.

I have already set things up so I am using no proxy and I do not have https only mode enabled.

The only constant is that I can open YouTube and watch videos. I thought this meant it was a dns issue but I have tried several fixes for dns issues and they didn't work.

I would attach photos of the error but Mozilla is also unable to open due to the errors so I'm filling this out on mobile.

I discovered when using either Spotlight or Alfred to open a URL with Firefox, for a brief moment I get the lock icon with a red strike through it and its a bit concerning. I was able to quickly take a screenshot and it seems that Firefox is showing this for its own page.

Is this normal or safe?

I have a HUGE problem with Firefox memory usage. Some open instances of firefox are taking anywhere from 600mb to 2.8gb of memory. Since firefox opens MANY instances even with only ONE active window, this very quickly uses all available memory (4gb) causing a full laptop crash.

More concerning is that CLOSING the worst instance of memory usage STILL leaves the single open page/tab open, so what exactly was the memory eating instance actually doing ???

I have included a screengrab of the many remaining instances of firefox in windows task manager AFTER closing the main culprit.

I have also included a screengrab of all the adblockers I use which I believed would limit unnecessary memory usage, but does not seem to be effective.

Many Thanks

in Austria I used to sign documents with the mobil phone and TAN-code. The system changed (now ID-Austria) where it is possible to sign documents using fingerprint, eye-scan or a FIDO2-key like Idem-key or YubiKey. It seems that this should be possible for Mac-users using google chrome. I don´t want to install google chrome only to sign documents! Is there a possibility to define a code for using FIDO2 keys with firefox. Keys are already defined in Mac settings but I can not use them to sign. thank you Robert

Since the update I've had a few issues, most I was able to fix but this one eludes me. Opening up various news sites I get the "Firefox prevented this page from reloading" error at the top and clicking allow does nothing. Anyone know how to get around this error? I'm not looking to totally disable the FF feature that prevents other pages from loading a different one, but just to browse the website after hitting 'allow'.

Thanks in advance.

Unable to paste into a blank PDF using Firefox PDF Editor

I have a question about using Firefox PDF Editor. I copied some text from a PDF document that is on my computer, by highlighting the text and then hitting Ctrl+C. The text copied onto my clipboard OK. Then I opened a blank PDF document in the Firefox PDF Editor and tried to paste that text into the blank document, but I wasn't able to do so because when I right-clicked on the blank document and then clicked on "paste", nothing happened. This apparently is because the word "paste" is faded-out in the drop-down menu (i.e., it does not appear in prominent bold print). Google's Artificial Intelligence seems to indicate that the technique I used would work (see screenshot which I've uploaded). But it didn't work, so can anyone please tell me how can I paste text into that blank document?

To protect your security, idfl.xyz will not allow Firefox to display the page if another site has embedded it. To see this page, you need to open it in a new window.

I use an LMS for my work. I wanted to record a video note to add to a subject site, but a dialogue box popped up and I clicked the wrong response which blocked the camera and microphone. Now, when I go to add a video note, I get the message "Cannot access video and audio. Please allow access to your recording device using the browser." But in Firefox privacy and security settings, this website is not listed under permissions for camera or microphone. I can't see any other way to reverse what I've done. Can you help? Thanks

I received an email stating there was activity on my account, but it showed it from an unknown location. I've since reset my password and enabled MFA. I need to know if someone actually got into my account and accessed my data. I tried to log out of the session from the Unknown location, but it wouldn't respond to the command.
