why is my Firefox browser being rejected by websites that I previously have been able to access for 10+ years. This is happening more so over and over again?

I would start by comparing the differences among the preferences starting with the word "network".

To share PDFs, you can create a new folder in OneDrive, Google Drive, etc., and generate a link to that folder (only) with read-only permission that anyone can use to view the files. Test in a private window to make sure the link only shares what you want to share.

jscher2000,

Thank for your response on a weekend.

Regarding looking for something with "network" associated with it, there were only two such lines and both were in the original Profile. Those two lines are:

user_pref("network.cookie.CHIPS.enabled", true); user_pref("network.cookie.CHIPS.lastMigrateDatabase", 1);

Neither of these lines are in the current Profile setup, and neither are there any lines with the word "network" in them.

As far as "drives" go, I do not use any of those features, as I consider them a security concern. Far to easy to get hacked, and why should I share my information with everyone.

Why can't I simply attach a PDF file to this message?

In any event, I did temporarily upload them to my corporate website and they can be accessed as:

Please let me know what you find out or if you have any other questions.

Best wishes,

I'm using Firefox 145. There are currently 3 websites I occasionally have to go to which state outright that I can use only Chrome or the MSoft browser. Two are 2 financial and 1 medical, with heavy pw protection, so I can't mention them publicly. My most recent experience was today, 11/15/25, when I tried to log in with Firefox. It not only didn't work, the browser sent me to a previous website. I was able to get on with Chrome.

Since Firefox is kept up-to-date, I keep wondering why those websites don't like Firefox.
