I can no longer access The Washington Post using Firefox even though I have a subscription. The website pops up for a minute and then disappears. I have done a search for help with this problem, but I've not found a solution. This doesn't happen with any other site. Any suggestions for how to remedy this problem?

Hi there,

After a Firefox Refresh, one site I used to access everyday does not accept my user Id/password anymore. The site did not return any warning message like wrong password. It just doesn't go trough when I hit 'enter'.

The same user/pw is still working well in Chrome. I asked for help on the site I could not access, but they have no issues like mine, and his system is regularly on.

I have already cleared all my history, cookies, everything. I have installed Firefox again. Nothing.

Any idea? Thanks

I am getting a Secure Connection Failed error on every website I try to log into on my laptop. The issue is not occurring on my desktop or either of my iOS devices under the same login account. I have tried every "fix" I can find through the FAQ's and through online googling, nothing has worked. I don't have any conflicting apps or security features that I can find. I have tried purging the history/cookies, un-installing and re-installing. After a re-install the websites will work for about 5 minutes then I receive the same Error message. Please help!

Yesterday I started having trouble logging into Gmail and associated apps (calendar, contacts, docs, sheets, shared folders, etc., as well as google.com) in Firefox. All other sites are loading with no problems. Google apps are working fine in Chrome. Still having problems today.

My office uses Google Workplace for everything so this is really messing me up, I've lost several hours of work trying to get things to load. The IT person told me that if Firefox is having problems I should use Chrome instead. I hate Chrome! I want to use Firefox, but I can't get my work done if it won't load Google apps.

Please note that I have tried the following solutions thus far: restarted Firefox (several times) restarted computer removed add-ons cleared cached web content cleared cookies and site data refreshed Firefox solution at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1200943 solution at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1132284 solution at https://knowtechie.com/is-mozilla-firefox-not-loading-pages-for-you-heres-the-fix/

After each fix things start working for a while but then everything Gmail-related freezes or crashes and I need to start all over again. Help!!!

Using the 'Chat' facility on the HSBC website

Hi,

Let me start with two points: (a) this is the first time that I've used this site, so if I do anything wrong please just tell me and I won't do it again, and, (b) I'm no technician (I deliberately use Firefox because I believe in Mozilla's business principles, not because I think Firefox is technically superior to other browsers - although I'm quite prepared to believe that it is) but I can follow instructions. OK, so having said that …

I am using the latest version of Firefox [98.0.2 (64-bit)] on a bog standard Dell laptop under Windows 10 [Edition Windows 10 Home, Version 21H2, OS build 19044.1620, Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.4170.0].

I have recently opened an HSBC bank account. If I try to access their UK online banking site (https://www.hsbc.co.uk/) using Firefox (which I should very much prefer to do than with any other browser), it is missing the most important feature of 'Chat' (the only sensible way of talking to HSBC without having to endure a half-hour wait). However, if I access it using any other browser (e.g., Microsoft Edge) the 'Chat' facility is available in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen. Please note that with Firefox I am using a 'container' (called HSBC) - I don't think that Edge has similar facilities.

Can anybody please tell me whether I might have some setting or other (e.g., say something to do with 'pop-ups' which I think that the HSBC's 'Chat' facility uses) set incorrectly?

Thank you and best regards

John

On certain websites I notices I have 'unknown errors' when trying to log in.

Usually this is remedied by either using Chrome or clearing cookies and the cache.

Both of there are inconvenient and result in a great deal of wasted time.

The usual response by these websites is "get Mozilla to fix this".

I'm getting sick of this.

I don't want to switch to Chrome but I will have to if this persists.

Firefox 98.0.1 will not load some web pages that other browsers will. I get a message about Network Protocol Error with the option to "Try Again" which hasn't worked. I've tried many of the fixes suggested here but nothing changes. If I copy the link Firefox won't open and paste it in Brave or Opera the link loads fine. I don't want to quit Firefox but I can't spend time every day trying to fix it either.

Using Firefox v 99.0 (64-bit) on Windows 10. THE IRS has a form program for income taxes called Free File Fillable Forms that uses displayed forms (like the 1040 form) that you fill in with your tax data. Suddenly the fill-in boxes are misaligned from the text, so cannot be used. This is, uh, important. Go to IRS.GOV to find this system. I've used this system successfully for years. Google Chrome does seems to work. Thanks.

Firefox refuses to show my website correctly on my MacBook Pro M1 Pro, using OS 12.2. All other browsers on show it correctly. Firefox on my iPhone and iPad show it correctly too. I have tried all the obvious things... refresh, clear cache, deleted the application and reinstalled. However, I still get the same disjointed view of my website.

Please see the first image of how it looks and the second image of how it should look doesn't seem to want to upload here!

using Firefox 96.0.3 on macOS 12.1

i've been creating some Google Docs this week and using the various Roboto font weights (Light, Thin, Normal, Medium, Bold) to format them with. the majority of the docs are using the "Normal" weight.

suddenly, i came back to it today and ALL the "Normal" weights display as "Medium" and all the "Medium" are displaying as "Normal" - even in the dropdown font selector menu.

it looks normal in Safari. and the Roboto variants look normal when viewing at fonts.google.com. so it's only in Firefox on Google Docs (as far as i can tell).

i have tried running in Troubleshooting Mode, which didn't change anything. so i event went as far as deleting all Addons, and completely resetting Firefox to factory defaults. the problem persists.

any ideas?
