Severn Valley RailCams With increasing severity, over the last few weeks I find that Firefox repeatedly hangs up when viewing one of these Railcams.. I have tried a few things to remedy this, none of which work, the hang-up occurs with the rotating circle, between 1 to a few mins after starting. This does not happen with any other video viewer, eg Youtube, or other Railcam. It does not happen at all in Chrome and yesterday I was using this for 4-5 hours! I have tried disabled add-on, no difference, clearing the data Cache, no difference.. In addition, on 3 or 4 occasions the Windows 10 PC freezes completely and I have to reboot.. ! unheard of! And, this also occurs on my Dell laptop under the same circumstances...

I have attached a screenshot of the problem with the SVr Kidderminster camera, see below, this was after viewing for something like 1-2 mins and, _very_ occasionally, this has caused a complete PC freeze and a reboot is necessary ..

Any idea whats going on?

For some reason, after this Firefox update, I can not sign in to my Google account for the google's site. Can someone please help as Google account is very important to me.

Gmail doesn't open after updating to version 131.0

This issue is also with certain other sites.

Attached is a screenshot of the error page.

These sites are accessible in other browsers.

If you add a proxy (manual) to firefox, you can also put in exemption for which domains the proxy should not be used. And from the examples that are shown, you might think it is also possible to add ip-address-range like 192.168.1.0/24. But this does not really work. Even when your servers are in the network 192.168.1.0/24, the proxy still we be used. It is only working if you add your domain e.g. .mydomain.local.

New version (131.0) installed 10/3-10/4/2024. Los Angeles Times newspaper online suddenly won't work. I have been getting daily delivery of the Los Angeles Times newspaper for many years. It has always worked perfectly with Firefox up until today -- the day immediately following the overnight install of version 131.0 for the Mac on my computer. The daily edition comes with an email (gmail) that has a graphic depicting the front page of the edition and a notation that says something like "Read today's paper", which you can then do by clicking on the graphic of the front page. The app gives you an option of viewing either one or two pages at a time and allows you to turn pages by clicking on arrows on either the left or right edge of the screen. The reader can then navigate on the page by just grabbing the page with a click and hold. You can also select any article on the page by clicking on that article, which makes it appear in a window that works like a PDF of the article. You can also click on a copy icon to create a text copy of the article which you can copy and paste into a Word (or other word processing document). So I hope you will FIX YOUR APPLICATION.

I've come on to my computer today to find that whenever I open Firefox it is now adding another Firefox logo to my task bar, under which the new window is opened. I really want the window to be under the Firefox that is on my taskbar already. Right-clicking on the original one shows me all the possible things, like opening a new window or creating a private window, that I can do at a click, whereas the new one only gives me the option to close or pin it.

What happened and how can I fix it? My taskbar is already too full to have duplicate icons whenever Firefox is open.

Thank you!

You can fix the software problem without requiring a system restore to do so. It only is happening with Firefox, not other browsers. The website display in some coding format, which I don't know how to use.
