This was one of our primary suppliers for technology. Contacted them they just said "suck it up, princess".

Recently AWS started doing "human verification" on all VPN traffic to websites they host on their CDN(s). This results in all our Windows 10 PCs running Firefox ESR 102.13.0 going into an endless "Human verification" loop, never able to access the website.

On the Windows 2012 R2 server we have access to the above website works. We see "human verification" for a second or two and then the website is displayed.

So, copied my profile from a Windows 10 PC that doesn't work to the server and it works.

I've tried with tracking protection off. Turned off all adblockers, run in safe mode with all addons disabled, cleared my cache, deleted all cookies Created a new profile and still no go. Turned off Windows firewall, moved hosts file out of the way. Still no go. Also deleted prefs.js to run firefox as completely vanilla without any changed preferences.

I'm not inclined to install malware, so chrome based browsers are not an option. They are actually blocked so I couldn't install them even if I wanted to.

All PCs are on 21H2 3208. Upgrading is not an option at this time. PCs will be upgraded mid-late 2024.

All PCs are required to be connected to VPN at all times as we work from home. Being on call late into the night also means we can't just disconnect. We use NordVPN. Yes I know there is a lot of paranoia about VPNs being the source of all online crime. I just think that's an over-generalization. A convenient excuse.

https://www.scorptec.com.au did a similar thing earlier this year, but at least with them we get a captcha and can get to their site.

Could this be a browser issue, or is this more likely to be a Windows 10 issue? Also updated Windows 10 to latest patch each month and it's been the same for three months.

I have a good 1080p monitor, which I can set up in either orientation. I have a hard time finding monitors which meet my accessibility needs, so a square/squarer monitor or a 2nd monitor would be expensive.

I have tried setting it up in vertical mode, to make it easier to read pdfs and to write. And ideally, to make it easier to avoid sidebars and/or move them away above the main content where they're less likely to trigger as many @##$% migraines.

I've noticed that most websites are designed for the horizontal layout. Elements disappear off the right edge, sometims with a horizontal scrollbar to reach them, sometimes without. Is there a trick to get miost or all websites to fit?

I use about:config fixes, add-ons, and user css to try to increase font sizes, switch colors, block animation, and reduce frame rates to completely block "smooth" animation. I can't do without these, so I don't think I could adapt the mobile version to my needs.

I've noticed *many* other problems in other apps, but if I can get all these websites working in Firefox, I can probably sort out the other problems elsewhere.

Get pop-up (or whatever you wish to call it) while browsing. No way of clearing it.

It does not show in Task Manager. Closed all the Google (first name) processes no change.

Screen shot attached.

Went into firefox help then closed help tab and then original tab OK.

I've disabled all of my addons, cleared cache, and still youtube is broken for me. It works fine with Chrome still. Any ideas on how to fix? See attched screenshot.

Hi, I have applied the latest updates on my Zimbra server (Ubuntu 20.04) last week and since then the emails contents are not displayed anymore in the classic web client, they are displayed only in the modern web client, I will attach same email in both clients to compare. In using Google Chrome there is no such issue

Hi there! I've been having problems with youtube not working in firefox lately. It's ONLY in firefox that it does this issue in, I've tried it in other browsers. Youtube tends to just....stop buffering in firefox for some reason? My internet connection is not the issue so I'm not sure what I could do to mess with it, I've done a fresh install of firefox, I've cleared cache and cookies. I'm genuinely at a loss.

It takes FOREVER for it to actually s tart up in the video too. The video plays fine until it just...stops buffering and takes 5-10 minutes to load. As mentioned before this is only an issue in firefox.

Ok, so this is an odd one.

I gamble with William Hill online using Firefox as my browser.

Every year this same problems happen when the clocks go forward in spring time here in the UK.

So I go on the WH website Sunday (for example) at 11pm and it will show me Mondays football matches. But. At 12am Monday until 1am, the now todays football matches do not appear. Its like the browser can no accept this time period exists because as soon as 1am comes, the matches (for Monday) appear.

So I contacted WH for support. They advised that if I am using Firefox that I should try IE instead. So I did. And guess what? The problem doesn't happen on IE. Mondays matches do exist between 12am and 1am. So it is definitely a firefox issue.

But the issue resolves at the end of October when the clocks go back.

So what is going on here? Any solutions? This has been going on several years.

I am using FF 129.0 64 bit on Linux Mint. AFAIK all is up to the latest version.

When I log into my website admin on wordpress, my site gets redirected for a security check on the server (lightspeed or PC Guard). Once this is complete, the login continues.

Unfortunately for the last 6 weeks, my website redirects with a message, "Verifying that you are not a robot" and it hangs there permanently.

I have tried to get my server to disconnest Lightspeed and PC Guard (but then have NO security protection). Nothing seemed to work, and access was sproradic, but seemed best when FF was completely cleaned, cache, cookies, etc. However, even this did not guarantee a login.

Then I found that all worked perfectly using Chrome. Further, having logged in using Chrome, the FF version would now be unlocked and work perfectly.

So it seems as though FF is not clearing a status/flag/file somewhere and that Chrome clears this, leaving FF working again - for another 24 hours. Then the whole cycle starts again.

Any ideas?

My name is Ievgeniia Kukushkina and I hope I can get help here 🙏

I represent company called Piano Software which provides user experience and paywall software to manage subscriptions and access to content for companies. Our customers news websites use our software to make a relevant experience for end-users. But end users, who use your software could not access to that content, because your software blocks ours. We received multiple tickets regarding Firefox blocking the execution of Piano scripts

1. 1

Hey,

It seems Firefox blocks all Piano Scripts in the strict privacy mode of the browser.

For a few days now users are reporting, that they can't access the Login via firefox. In the "strict" privacy mode all Piano scripts seem to get blocked. Even Paywalls and Banner are missing. When i choose a custom privacy setting and block everything but "tracking content", all piano functions are available again.

Did you change anything in your cookie handling, that may have be causing browsers to categorize piano cookies wrong and block them?

Steps to reproduce (see also video):

open

thepioneer.de in firefox

in standard brwoser privacy setting you should be able to see the Login button, Paywalls, Banner

open pricavy settings and turn on strict mode

Login Button etc. disappear

Turn privacy setting to custom and uncheck "tracking content" -> Login appears again.

Hello,

there is a problem in the firefox browser, if you use "private window" the function "Extended tracking protection" is turned on automaticly and in this case you can't log in to the account and also article locks don't appear at all

I mean this:

here it doesn't appear in firefox https://prnt.sc/AqgqRBjTKUg5 this is normally displayed in chrome https://prnt.sc/PvJVJOZulUbt

Hello,

Recently we've received some reports from people that they are unable to sign-in on our website in Firefox. It seems like the Piano script is being blocked for some reason. One of our developers has provided a recording of what he was seeing here (a Sign-In / Subscribe button should be appearing in the top right if it were working properly).

He is using Firefox version 126.0 on macOS, in private browsing mode, using Standard browser privacy settings. We've had others report the same issue on Windows in normal browsing mode. We previously haven't had issues with those settings before, so we're not sure if something may have changed.

Do you have any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this?

My Environment: Host Machine - Intel Core i7-4771 @3.50GHz, 16GB RAM NVIDIA GeForce 210 Display Adapter, Intel Gigabit Network Connection (ISP connection is around 700MBps).

OS - Windows 7 Pro V.22H2 Browser = Firefox ver.128.0.3 64bit.

Virtual Machine (VM) - Oracle Virtual Box Ver. 7.0.20 r163906, RAM = 4GB, Network = Bridged Adapter.

OS = Windows 7 Pro V. 22H2 Browser = Firefox ver. 128.0.3 64bit.

The Problem (In my VM only because I never browse sites on my Host PC): Toronto Sun website "Sign In" Screen never loads. A quarter circle just goes round and round. The website in question is - https://torontosun.com/sign-in/ The website itself does load fine and I can browse the site and all articles. But I cannot log into the site because the "Sign in" screen never loads. Also, Firefox tabs crash very frequently on this whole website.

Firefox is the only browser that I have on both my Host and VM (I have deleted MS Edge since it cannot be uninstalled).

On my VM, I tried installing Google Chrome and it works fine. The Toronto Sun Sign In page loads fine and I can log in.

On my Host PC, Firefox actually works. I tried it to see if the "Sign In" screen appears and it does and I can log in. It is only on my VM that it does not load.

What has Changed:

The Oracle Virtual Box software was just updated from ver. VirtualBox-7.0.18-162988-Win to ver. VirtualBox-7.0.20-163906-Win.

What I have tried: I have already done the following: Cleared - "Everything" including History, cookies, Temporary Cached files and pages and Site Settings.

I do not have any add-ons or themes installed.

I have cleared all Windows and User Temp Folders and files. I have rebooted several times in the past couple of days.

I tried increasing the VM RAM from 4GB to 6GB - did not help.

I would appreciate a solution.

Thanks very much. Kenneth

Unable to access currently email . Firefox states another page is embeded in currently. Read firefox questions and answers and stated possible malicious web site .

Hello, I use Ufile for my taxes. They weren't bad a few years back. For the past 3-4 years they have been a problem with their website not loading properly. They want you to use Chrome (as do more then a few websites). I don't like Chrome for privacy reasons. What do you suggest I do? Load Chrome for Ufile and then delete it. Can you suggest a tax website that works better with Fire Fox? Open to suggestions. Thanks in advance. Bob

Hello, the Secure Connection Failed started up after one of your recent updates. It is affecting News Max and my banks internet banking software. Both sites work fine in MS Edge. The fix I read on your site said to try this: "In the Location bar, type about:config and press Enter. The about:config "This might void your warranty!" warning page may appear.

   Click I'll be careful, I promise! to continue to the about:config page.
   copy the next security.ssl.enable_ocsp_stapling and paste it in the search field
   double-click on it to make it false
   close the page, exit firefox and restart it. "

Doesn't work for me. What else can I try?

Take care, Doug

HDR videos (specifically smpte2084 (PQ) / bt2020 videos) on youtube don't show correctly since last few updates of firefox on mac M1 & M2 sonoma 14.5. Firefox shows overly bright (almost whitewashed) videos, seems like something changed either with MacOS or firefox in last few updates. Firefox was working fine on older MacOS last 2 years with HDR videos.

Here is a link to test this problem on Mac, Safari shows the same video correctly in HDR https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s52wB4lKLeo

Kindly fix this problem soon.

Specifically I cannot access the PG&E website. FF is suddenly unable to bring up my login page. Several versions ago I started having trouble with another webpage where I webcam is updated every 5 minutes. All other browsers work for these two websites (Edge, Chrome and Brave).

I cant log into x.com. Whether tracking is set to strict or not. I just get the same error. I have tried re-starting my browser and computer. I currently have it set to strict and have it turned off for this site. Why cant I go to this web site?

The E*Trade analyst research tab does not display properly with text appearing over top of other text, strange numbers, and certain links inactivated. See attached example screenshots showing issues (yellow highlighting with Firefox) and proper display (green highlighting with Chrome). Thanks!
