I need to access the official site for the water institute in the country of Panama and keep receiving the following message Secure Connection Failed An error occurred during a connection to www.idaan.gob.pa. PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR Error code: PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR

   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.

I could access it until about 1.5 years ago when I used it a lot. Now I cannot access it anymore but this is an official governmental site www.idaan.gob.pa so why cannot it accessed now? I cannot access if from any of my devices, including those with the most up to date windows and Apple versions.

What do I need to do? contacting the institution is out of question as the site works OK in that country, so it is a FireFox problem outside of the country. Please help. Thanks, Helena

Hello, I am running Firefox on a W10-Pro PC. I always click the lock to check certificate validation. In the last month I keep seeing "Connection verified by a certificate issuer that is not recognized by Mozilla".

When I click for more information I see that "Norton Web/Mail Shield" does not recognize the certificate issuer. When I click on Learn More it takes me to a Firefox site "How to disable the Enterprise Roots preference" I also checked W10 certmgr.msc and I see Norton is listed. Images included below. I would love to resolve this issue. Thank you for your time.

When is Firefox (across devices) going to bring "Tab Groups" in-built in 2025 as it is difficult to ditch Chrome esp., if it is related to work or research and similar tabs are opened up?

I have to rely on chrome and edge for same and both have not only brought it but improved it considerably. Also, chrome has not brought for mobile devices so grouping of tabs is more easy and simple but when I look at Firefox and Firefox based browsers, I see nothing of that thing present. The addon esp., Simple Tab Groups (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-CA/firefox/addon/simple-tab-groups/) is unreliable (see reviews).

If Firefox want us to use their browser and as default, they should see why we are using Chrome and Edge (latter, having vertical tabs in-built, also).

I hope 2025 is a year Firefox learns of how to retain users across devices. Currently Firefox is more from 2005.

Browser Choice Alliance wont be helpful if browsers like Firefox dont see users and their reviews and posts and issues reported. "https://browserchoicealliance.org/"

3 years post and still no work, and Firefox wants us to use their browser over Chrome and Edge. Why? And how?

Since updating Firefox I can no longer connect to known good sites without getting "Did Not Connect: Potential Security Issue". This includes U.S. government sites! For instance, try connecting to https://covidtests.gov/ for example. What is going on?

I'd like to take a full-page screenshot of my content within my Canvas/Instructure online class, but it only captures what's visible. I've tried opening the frame in its own tab, but it doesn't help.

When I use my phone to capture the entire page, it can work, but it's so narrow! Plus I have to continuously tap the "Scroll Down" button for the capturing process to capture more and more.

Can anyone please help? Thanks.

As the subject says, I'm trying to get Discord links to open in the Discord desktop app instead of a Firefox tab. The 'Applications' section of my Firefox settings that has the settings to handle 'mailto' and 'magnet' links in external apps doesn't have any setting for Discord links for me to change, and I can't figure out how to add one.

After an update notification, i downloaded and updated my firefox to version 132.0.1. after the update, i continually get the notification to update. when i try to perform the update again,i get a message that reads "failed to check for updates". please help this notification is very annoying...

I want to use Firefox on Debian 12, I already use it on Windows 10, but the browser don't redirect from a web page to an application. For example for the authentification: I click to login with google, the app send this to firefox but after that it don't remind to the app.

I would like to take a screenshot of my expanded emails on protonmail.com - but it is not working when when I click "full page" option. Is this possible? I don't want to take screenshots manually by scrolling down the window...

Hi, I just switched from windows 10 to Windows 11. On windows 10 once you position the picture in picture once it appears in that position every time time you start up a new picture in picture. In Windows 11 the picture in picture doggedly appears in the same position necessitating moving it to your preferred position every time.

I am running Windows 11 with an RTX4080 super on two 4K screens set to Nvidia surround mode with the latest driver. The picture in picture always positions about 20 pixels into the left (main) screen. I then move it to the 10,10 position on the right screen. I expect the next time I start a picture in picture that it will appear at the 10,10 position on the right screen. Instead it appears in the old position on the left screen, forcing me to move it every time.

The current version of Firefox remembers the size of the picture in picture when I resize it. But is does not remember the x,y position on the picture in picture once it is resized over a certain size.

Is there a setting in about that sets the position of the picture in picture?

Having updated to latest browser version I am continually getting this page

https://www.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/133.0/whatsnew/?oldversion=132.0

It is not in my startup URL's I use the default.

I have cleared all browser cache and data with no effect.

I'm on Developer Edition of Firefox. In previous versions of Firefox (Probably 132), I could share the window just fine, but since an update to either Teams or Firefox, it just results in a blank screen for viewers.

I start firefox with following policies.json

{

   "policies": {
       "AppAutoUpdate": false,
       "BackgroundAppUpdate": false,
       "DisableAppUpdate": true,
       "DisableFeedbackCommands": true,
       "DisableFirefoxAccounts": true,
       "DisableFirefoxStudies": true,
       "DisablePocket": true,
       "DisableSystemAddonUpdate": true,
       "DisableTelemetry": true,
       "ExtensionUpdate": false
   }

}

But uncontrolled connections to the following addresses continue anyway:

• firefox.settings.services.mozilla.com
• aus5.mozilla.org

I may have missed something and you can tell me how I can control these connections inclusive. Because all other connections can be controlled by configs and policies. But not these and it raises big questions. It seems to me that the browser should allow to configure any network requests that aren't related to the user web browsing itself. If some connections cannot be controlled in any way then I can't call it anything other than either a bug or an attempt to monitor users as do in Google Chrome.

Having a problem with Firefox the last few weeks. I'm on 64-bit version 133. When I go to a web site I get the this message:

Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site.

We can’t connect to the server at www.mozilla.org. 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)

If I reload the page from the 'Try Again' button or the reload icon in the top menu bar it will start to display. I usually have to reload multiple times for the page to start to load. Sometimes the page loads completely the first time, Sometimes it only loads partially (i.e. only text) or only part of the page loads correctly. I reload a few more times and the page finally loads completely. This makes it very difficult to browse almost any web page. I have Firefox on 3 computers (Windows 7 & 10) and have this problem on all three. I've visited web pages in Edge without problems. Any ideas? Thanks

Running Firefox 133.0 on Ubuntu 20.04 desktop

Periodically, Firefox will freeze and send the message "Firefox must be restarted to continue". After restarting, Firefox takes a long time to recover. This morning, it took nearly 5 minutes to recover.
