Firefox Cannot Consistently Access a Web Site

My desktop Firefox (version 155.0.1) has recently became unable to consistently access the Web site at this Web site this Web site. Chrome successfully accesses the site 100% of the time. Firefox's connection failures are intermittent, unpredictable, and usually go away on their own after varying time intervals (sometimes can't connect for up to 24 hours). I see status messages saying Firefox is trying to connect to the site, but it eventually gives up and times out.

I cleared the Firefox cache, but that had no effect. I don't recall making any significant changes to the Firefox settings lately. Any suggestions on what to look at/try would be greatly appreciated.

(Yes, I know the site doesn't use https: Its protocol is outside my control).

Has anyone reported this before? I am working as a contractor for a BigTech company. I am using an online platform/tool of theirs for several years now but after a recent update the work area doesn't show scroll bars anymore. That means I cannot scroll the editor window and can't go beyond the first page. This makes working (and earning money) almost impossible. As even for the tiniest edit I have to download huge tasks which is extremely time-consuming. An inquiry with my manager there indicated that other contractors on firefox experience the same issue. so they consider it a firefox compatibility issue of some kind. They gave me the advice to use Chrome, Edge or Safri instead. Well, I use firefox because I do not want to use Chrome/Edge... Don't know about Safari but my PC is on Windows... Any idea what can cause it and how to resolve the issue?

For some reason, my Gmail page doesn't show the icons on top at all. Like the archive, mark as read, and the others on top of the mailbox contents. They show up on both Chrome and Edge, so this seems to be a Firefox problem.

Computer being used with issue: HP ProDesk 600 G2 DM (Windows 10, 16GB RAM) So can this be fixed or should I just use my phone for Gmail?

Depuis Firefox 150 il ne m'est plus possible de Glisser-Coller un dossier avec ses fichiers dans un dossier de mon NAS Synology. Le service d'assistance Synology m'a apporté confirmation. Voir sa note en attaché.

Il semble qu'il y a un "bug" dans Firefox 150 et plus (j'ai le 155.0.1) pour ce Glisser - Coller ?

Que puis-je faire ?

I'm on 153.0.4 (64-bit) and after the last update, drop-down arrows are non-functional. I use Firefox at work and the dashboards that I've been using can't be used because I can't make selections. I'm having to use Microsoft Edge (yuk).

Is there something I can do to restore the drop-down behavior?

Thanks, JR

suddendly cannot access att email without 'proving' I'm not a bot with stupid sound tests

suddenly have to pass a bot test using drum sounds or weird images before I can get to my email. I've been using Firefox to access email at att.yahoo.com for many months with no problem. Now I cannot get in. My idea of snare drums is obviously not the right answer. the weird images are worse. I've cleared the browsing history and cache per the instructions and it didn't help. ATT said it was because updates were done--or not done--to Firefox that caused the problem. When I pull up settings, it says Firefox is updated automatically and I'm up to date.

 so do I just give up and go back to Edge?

Thank you for any help (I am not Luddite, but not a tech wizard either--so detailed help would be great!)

This device is essentially a thumb drive made by MOPAR that contains automotive serve diagrams for a Jeep Wrangler. When you boot this device with Firefox being the primary browser you get garbage instead of schematic drawings. If I make Edge the primary browser the card boots properly and runs. This a legally obtained card with no password system on board.

Facebook Videos Records Live Will Not Play in Firefox on MacBook

For the past few weeks, I have been having problems playing certain Facebook videos. It seems to only happen when I try to play a video that was recorded live. I have tried clearing the cache, I've tried a private window, and I've tried safe mode. I still can't get the video to play. However, when I copy and paste the url to Safari, it works fine. I have been able to play "live" videos while they are actually "live"; it's just that they will not load when I try to play them later. I don't have any problems playing videos which have been uploaded to Facebook; only those which were recorded live. The videos just show a circle in the middle as if they are trying to load but nothing else happens. The length of the video does not matter; it happens with short videos as well as long ones. The screenshot image (of a random "live" video I found) I am uploading shows a partial black circle in the center, which is a spinning circle in realtime. I have circled it in red.

We use the Deepl site for translations and it won't load in Firefox without asking the "verify you are human" questions every single time. The Deeple site does not require this authentication in Chrome but we hate Chrome and want to stick with Firefox. We just have the standard security settings in Firefox, only use Windows Firewall and our Express VPN is not switched on; our IP location is showing correctly. Firefox is up to date.

Bonjour,

Je rencontre un comportement étrange uniquement avec Firefox sur une page qui utilise des champs d'heure HTML (`input type="time"`).

Lorsque je saisis une heure de début et une heure de fin, le calcul est correct. En revanche, après un simple rechargement de la page, certaines valeurs sont automatiquement modifiées ou le résultat du calcul change alors qu'aucune donnée n'a été modifiée.

J'ai reproduit le problème en utilisant cette calcule heure. Le comportement est identique sur deux ordinateurs différents avec Firefox, alors que Chrome et Edge conservent les mêmes valeurs.

J'ai déjà essayé le mode de dépannage de Firefox, vidé le cache et désactivé toutes les extensions, mais le problème persiste.

Quelqu'un a-t-il déjà rencontré un problème similaire avec les champs `input type="time"` ou la gestion des données après un rechargement de page dans Firefox ?

Merci d'avance pour votre aide.

Not sure if anyone else has realized this but Akamai / Edgesuite is using its algorithms to force people to stop using fire fox The reason that I see this is that I run a server with almost 100 web sites on it and Firefox has dropped from being quite significant a couple of years back. This is from one site of the almost 100 but is quite typical.

Google Chrome No 1,568 62.9 % 1,867 56.6 % Safari No 589 23.6 % 816 24.7 % Firefox No 191 7.6 % 427 12.9 %

There are a number of requests opened about this but the only solution seems to be to switch to chrome. A massive number of major store sites are now using akamai / edgesuite and almost no-one using firefox can visit their stores now because of an error produced and there does not appear a simple solution for a person to even reach them. Some of the stores are Lowes, Tractor Supply, CVS, and others.
