macOS 15.6 Firefox 141.0.3 - my preferred browser

I've seen a number of posts regarding this problem since the Firefox 141 update. I've tried a number of suggestions, although my problem seems slightly different.

I can apparently login to reddit OK but when I try to access a subreddit thread, a warning comes up - see image.

I have cleared Firefox site data, cookies, cached files, etc - problem remains.

I have restarted Firefox in Troubleshooting mode - problem remains, so not an extension.

However, https://old.reddit.com has no problems with Firefox, lets me access threads, etc and comment.

No problems accessing reddit with Safari or DuckDuckGo browser.

I'm unable to login to account.apple.com on my laptop which is running Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS.

I've launched Firefox using the `-p` option, created a new profile and then navigated to https://account.apple.com/sign-in and tried to login. I've attached a screenshot of the error message.

I had tried multiple things on my default profile, even troubleshoot mode, but I couldn't get it. I even tried useragent switcher to no avail.

I can login to the site using Chromium.

What else can I try?

Up until recently Bing Maps in the UK has the option to display Ordnance Suvey Maps and the function to measure distance.

Now, using Firefox, Bing Maps display a Beta version with very limited functionality. Using Microsoft Edge, Bing Maps have all the functionality that I expect.

Has something changed within Firefox that has caused this problem? Is there something that can be done to allow Bing Maps to work correctly from within Firefox?

I am using Firefox desktop on Windows 11. I have downloaded hundreds of articles from this website, with no problem until yesterday. I accessed the website using Edge, and it worked fine.

When trying to access a particular article to download it to Ancestry, the following message appears:

Application error: a client-side exception has occurred (see the browser console for more information).

I accessed the browser console for more information, which I'm sure someone can understand, but not this grandma. This is what I got:

I really don't want to stop using Firefox, but I need a usable browser. Can you help me?

I updated to Firefox 141.0 and now Google Maps is not working correctly. When I look for directions the map does not show the route. If I go to street view I get a black screen. Google maps is working fine on Edge or Google on the same pc.

Hi. News videos from www.bbc.com won't play. When I ask the BBC website to play a video, I get a blank area of my screen, with a play button. Clicking the button makes it go away, leaving me with just the blank area of the screen. Videos from youtube, movie trailers, etc play fine - it's just videos from a few sites (such as BBC) that yield nothing. I have autoplay videos disabled by default, but: I'm not trying to have the website autoplay; The setting doesn't affect other websites; and there's no way to disable autoplay for the website I'm on (no way I can find, at least).

I am an EX EU employee and have access via a double authenticated procedure to the "EU LOGIN" which gives me access to several internal webpages of my former work organisation. The most important is the access to the HEALTH SERVICE, which actually is blocked since one week-- and now it seems like this-- through your web browser. I am an ancient Mozilla user and supporter. After claiming my help desk in EU that my EU LOGIN is blocked, I got the answer, try to use another browser- and I saw that with another browser it worked. What happened with Mozilla? Do you want me to go to apple-microsoft or what ever?

Error: Redirection Error

The requested website is redirecting the request in such a way that it can never be completed.

This problem can sometimes occur if cookies are disabled or rejected.

Twitter/X does not display, only an error message that says Twitter/X does not work with Firefox' advanced tracking (or similar). Requesting someone at Firefox and someone at Twitter/X get together and fix this so these two entities play nice with each other. Thank you in advance.

when i login my google account on firefox they say this browser is not try another browser. and if you already use supportive browser then try again and if click on try again and try it they still show me same statement.

i try access some web video online but can't access example is www.123-hdd.com or www.037hd-movies.com When i access it sow message error is.

Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site.

We can’t connect to the server at www.123-hdd.com.

If you entered the right address, you can:

   Try again later
   Check your network connection
   Check that Firefox has permission to access the web (you might be connected but behind a firewall)

but i try by chrome or microsoft edge can open the website normally. Please help me. how to fix this error.

Hello.

I'm trying to order multiple products on "Bulk.com", i have each tab open for every product that i wish to place in my "shopping basket". When placing the first product in the basket and then moving on to the next tab for placing the the next product in the basket, the basket does not update so that there's total of 2 products in the basket. I'm not sure why this is not updating, but when i tried to do the same thing in Microsoft Edge it worked just fine, and i also contacted Bulk about this and they tried on Google Chrome, which also worked for them. I don't use Chrome so i haven't tried it there. I've deactivate all ad blockers, I've also tried to clear all the cookies and nothing seems to work? So I'm wondering what else is there that i need to try or do so that it work as it should. I've also tried to buy things from other sites which works just fine, so I'm wondering why it works on some sites and not in others?

Thanks in advance. Kind and warm regards.

Hello, since I installed the Firefox 141.0 update today, I can't login to Reddit. I tried logging into Reddit right after updating Firefox, so did a System Restore to see if that corrected the problem, and it did.

To double check, I installed the Firefox 141.0 update again, and encountered the same problem logging into Reddit again, so it's definitely this new update causing the problem.

I've attached the Reddit messages I get. The 1st is the initial message, and the 2nd after I retry logging in.

I would greatly appreciate help with this.

Thank you,

Michael T.

All of a sudden, I can't access several websites through Firefox that I have used for years -- but I CAN access them in other browsers, like Chrome and Safari. Also, Firefox no longer works with my password manager. Until about two weeks ago, I could always autofill login information, but no more.

What gives? I am up to date on my IOS (Sequoia 15.5) and on my version of firefox -- and my password manager app. Superfrustrating. I hate to have to turn to Chrome as my primary browser since I hate Google, but I might end up doing that and just not using Firefox anymore, after like 20 years of having it as my primary browser.

Hello,

I’m experiencing an issue where I cannot use ChatGPT-5 in Firefox. When I log in and try to select or use GPT-5, nothing loads or functions properly. Other models like GPT-3.5 work normally, but GPT-5 does not respond.

I’ve already tried refreshing the page, clearing cache and cookies, and even disabling extensions — but the problem persists. Could this be a compatibility issue with Firefox? Any advice or support would be appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your help!

since I put my computer on windows 11, I cannot upload photos on my blog operated by wordpress with firefox. But it works perfectly well if I navigate with edge. Can you tell me why? I would prefer to continue to navigate with firefox but it does not work for loading my photos even if I compress them. I never had difficulties with windows 10 ...

I am a user over at the Arcamax website I use it nightly to read the comics section for the last two days i keep getting an error message .

Bad Request

Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand. Size of a request header field exceeds server limit.

I went into my system cleared out the cookies for that website still cant get into the website I switch over to Chrome and it works fine but slow as molasses.

Not sure if this is the correct topic selection but nothing offered above really fits.

I tried to sign into my Allstate.com account today and kept getting error messages.

I called their tech department and they told me that Firefox has been notified a long time ago about this issue but has done nothing about it. I was told to use my email account instead of my user ID to get into my account via Firefox, but that if I do it that way, some functions still won't work on Firefox.

I was told that my Safari browser would work, and it does.

Not sure why Firefox refuses to fix this. This is crazy. I've also had problems signing in some other companies with Firefox recently where it used to work fine. It looks like they are just not keeping up with technology. I have the latest Firefox browser for my Macbook, but as companies update their sites, Firefox is staying behind. I prefer Firefox because of things like uBlock Origin, Enhancer for YouTube, and YouTube Watchmarker which I love, but I've had to use Safari more and more because of this issue.

Exactly how does one let Firefox tech know these things. They don't provide anyway to contact them which doesn't look good.

Firefox has started redirecting to advertising pages after clicking on a link. Only on 1 site. The site loads but not quite correctly. Normally has information about movie ratings show up when you hover over pictures. Have to double click (double load) to get where you want. Does not do it with Edge. Used to work fine, just started.

I need a fix for a problem that developed from your last update. I cannot stream Xfinity since the last update. I have tried all the recommended fixes. Other browsers have no issues.
