Forum d’assistance Firefox

I have noticed a couple of websites I use for work not working correctly after update. I have tried on other browsers such as chrome and they work correctly. One site www.prideprovider.com will no longer allow me to hit the submit button after my information is entered. It worked before the update, but not after. I went through and deleted all history and cookies related to prideprovider and it still doesn't work. Any idea's of what might be going on?

Thanks,

Matt

Bloomberg.com website says my browser is out of date (see image); but, I'm using latest Firefox.

Recently my browser profile became corrupted and I replaced it with a saved good copy. Not sure if this is what is flagging the out of date detection.

Long time User of Firefox. Everyone day, one of the first sites I read is WSJ.com. Recently (now running 89.0 Firefox) the WSJ.com website has been totally jumbled. I cross checked it on Chrome, where it was working fine. I have reported this to WSJ.com, and now also to Firefox. Is there a new setting requirement in Firefox 89.0 for that page? This is the only regular site I visit where this is occurring.

Any insights?

Version 96.0 on macOS

Started a few days ago. Upon shutting down my Mac at night and turning it on in the morning, I always have to log back in to my Google accounts. This doesn't happen with any other websites and I do not have the "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed" setting enabled.

If I simply quit Firefox without shutting down my computer, I remain logged in to Google. It's only after a shutdown that I get logged off.

Using Firefox (92.0) on Win 10. I have noticed that some screen objects are displayed in different ways on Firefox than they are on Edge (and I presume other browsers). For a long time I thought the problem was errors in the Rite Aid web design. Yesterday I saw a similar problem on another site and decided to try another browser. The displays looked proper on Edge. See attached image which shows the same screen on the Edge browser (top) and Firefox (bottom). Part of the logon window is missing on Firefox. Other objects are affected also such as text size. I don't see any options in the Firefox config that would apply to this.

When using Firefox and searching with Google.com I will experience an issue where the Google links/websites won’t load. And if they have previously loaded and the issue begins none of the elements work. This issue is frustratingly intermittent. It will be fine for a few min and then break for a few min. I'd attach screenshots but there is no error - simply does nothing. I have done a bunch of troubleshooting and testing to get to the root of the issue.

• Reload page
• Restart Firefox
• Cleared cache
• Disabled Privacy/Security settings
• Disabled Plugins
• Updated Firefox
• New Private Window
• Tested another browser - Other browsers load google sites
• Tested non google websites – Other websites are loading
• Tested another network

I’ve noted that google.co.za seems to have a separate intermittency from google.com. However, I have tested and found both can be ‘broken’ at the same time. It also happens with Youtube.com. I am quite happy to continue troubleshooting, I just need some direction.

This has just started happening

If I click on a link in a website nothing happens. Up until yesterday Firefox would open the link in the same tab, but now it just sits there. If I right click I can open in a new tab, but not in the same tab

I've cleared cache, cookies, etc etc. Shut down and fired up, nothing seems to work.

I am using a Mac with Big Sur Version 11.4. Firefox version is 91.0. When I am using ancestry.ca and as an example I right click on a link to open a new tab it will say

The page isn’t redirecting properly

Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

   This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies

I have deleted all cookies it makes no difference. I have disabled all enhanced tracking protection features. I have cleared the cache as well. I have put ancestry.ca in I have disabled https everywhere. Before the update this was working fine.  When I go to Safari and do the exact same thing it works fine.

Thanks in advance for any help

I am using Firefox 90.0.2 on a Windows 10 system. I have installed a program called ESET which provides additional security when doing online banking. I have changed my password recently for one bank. I have deleted the old password and logon from under the Settings tab, Privacy & Security, and have created a new setting with the new password. However, when I attempt to log on to that bank's website, ESET opens a new Firefox browser window and uses the old password. Even when I try to edit that under Settings in the new browser window, it isn't saved. ESET says it is a Firefox problem. Any suggestions how to fix this?

Hi

I've posted about this issue before. I've done everything recommended, starting with clearing cache and cookies, disabling add ons and extensions, refreshing firefox and now have done a clean install. The issue persists and I'm stuck!

I have a wordpress business website. On it is a blog page, which links to all my blog posts - see attached image when viewing on Edge. But on Firefox none of the links are visible. They ARE there - if you hover, the cursor changes and I can click on the link and go to the page but I can't actually SEE any of the links.

When I did the clean install, the very first time I visited the blog page everything looked normal. However, after visiting a post and returning to the blog page the links had disappeared again! Firefox seems to be putting some kind of cookie or something on that particular page (it's the only page I'm having issues with) and after the cookie has been installed it blocks all the links.

Please help. This is my business website and if I can't get it working I'll have to stop using Firefox.

Since today, whenever I want to open an https site in Firefox, it fails with PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR, even for the mozilla support files, so I am writing this on Chromium. I am having this problem on two Debian laptops with FF 78.11.0esr. I followed the advice given in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1317824#question-reply, but I do not understand why I have to set security.tls.version.max to 3 instead of the default 4. Why is the default 4 in the first place, what does it mean and what are the consequences of changing it to 3? Doesn't the need for such a hack suggest that there is a problem somewhere else?

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?

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!

I added a plugin that enabled privacy.clearonshutdown for a number of settings and I have lost my Cache and History. Is there a way for me to restore that data? I haven't restarted my computer yet.

I was looking at other options: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1290163 and apparently there is an index.dat thing I could use as well, but I can't find it. I really can't afford to lose yet more data after my last mistake.

HI,

After updating to the latest version on 1/11/22, many websites now will not load and display the error below. For some reason the google search homepage loads up, but after a search it will display the error.

Secure Connection Failed

An error occurred during a connection to mail.google.com. SSL peer was not expecting a handshake message it received.

Error code: SSL_ERROR_HANDSHAKE_UNEXPECTED_ALERT

   The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
   Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem.

When I use Firefox browser: During online shopping I got to fill in personal details and mode of payment details. After filling all details and when click to proceed for payment mostly error appears and some time just hanged. Today's experience: On a website error appeared but in my order history the order was recorded means I ordered the same thing four times. But the Online shop was good so they did not charge. Even in safe mode I faced the same problem.

Then I talked with the credit card company after checking they confirmed there is not any problem at their end. Therefore, I used MS Edge without any problem smoothly I proceeded and placed an order.

I shall be thankful if some one enlighten me or share your thoughts. Thank you.
