When I go into Firefox & I bring up my bank for example if I go to another tab to bring up something else most times it won't do it. So then I have to shut it down & open it up again which is intensly annoying. This never used to happen say a year ago.

Using Firefox Developer 105.0b7 (64-bit).

I "cannot" change my password -- Firefox always report ""Incorrect Password""

1) I can log in using the previously-created pass. 2) I can verify in ""Saved Logins"" that the pass in use is the previously-created pass. 3) When attempting to change the pass at the ""Firefox Accounts"" page, I'm always getting ""Incorrect Password"" after clicking to "Save" new pass. 4) I've have tried using ""Safe Mode"" to no avail.

when I click the web address bar and the drop down opens up with commonly visited site a series buttons appear under it that I would love to delete from the face of the earth, as far as I can tell there doesn't appear to be any setting to turn them off and help topics are expectantly useless. For the love of god don't come and tell me you've added an idiot feature that I have no control over.

Somewhere around September 6 something changed in Firefox which prevents me from accessing my control area for a website I own. The error says: " your connection to this site is not private. Information ...". I am the only person with access to this site and my password to the site is 20 characters long with special character and randomly generate. Everything worked well and doesn't work on any computer in my house. This change in your software is costing me money as I can't work on my website. I am not a happy camper. Please tell me how to resolve this problem. Telling me to ask the hosting company to make changes is not a valid response.

Hello,

I would be grateful, if possible, if you could help load a new PKCS#11 Module in the Firefox Privacy and Security Settings (under Security -> Certificates -> Security Devices ->Load). Based on the instructions from an electronic ID card reader application (eID Middleware), after installing the application I have tried to load a PKCS#11 module with a Module name /usr/local/lib/pkcs11/libEidPkcs11.dylib. However, I am getting the "unable to add module" Alert message from Firefox. I am using a Mac Book Pro with an 8-core Intel i9 processor, and macOS Monterey 12.6 version. I've tried restarting Firefox as well as the Mac, but it didn't help. If anyone knows how to fix the problem, I would very much appreciate it.

Best, Slaven

I work from home. Every time I try to download a file from my file explorer/file uploader to my Gmail, I get the message "working on it," and then it crashes. It has been happening all day. I restarted the PC, and I even refreshed Firefox. I have files that need to be sent out and I don't know what else to do.

Firefox will not open websites after windows updates

Every time windows updates, Firefox will not open websites and gives Secure Connection Failed error, even website to download Firefox. Edge and Chrome open the websites fine. Last time I downloaded earlier manual install Firefox and it would open the websites fine, but it would not update when prompt came up saying update available. Windows just updated and most of the websites I need/use will not open in Firefox, even the federal government websites like USPS.com. It is getting to be too much hassle and I am considering to change main browser, even though I like Firefox (when working properly) better than the others. "Fixes" I found with internet searches do not work. Firefox was upgraded to 105.0 (64-bit), the latest version according to website. (Note: Had to download using Edge, Firefox gave Secure Connection Failed error when clicked on download button.)

Since Firefox upgraded to 105.0 in the past day, every time I open it, my malware detection software gives me a notice that it has blocked malware. Here is a printout from the software:


Malwarebytes www.malwarebytes.com

-Log Details- Protection Event Date: 9/21/22 Protection Event Time: 9:36 AM Log File: c45b2d49-39ba-11ed-95d2-7824af3be113.json

-Software Information- Version: 4.5.14.210 Components Version: 1.0.1751 Update Package Version: 1.0.60359 License: Premium

-System Information- OS: Windows 10 (Build 19044.2006) CPU: x64 File System: NTFS User: System

-Blocked Website Details- Malicious Website: 1, C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe, Blocked, -1, -1, 0.0.0, ,

-Website Data- Category: Malware Domain: pki-goog.l.google.com IP Address: 142.250.191.131 Port: 80 Type: Outbound File: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe (end)


So it appears that Firefox (and perhaps google) is showing up as a malicious website. Any idea why this is occurring? FWIW, my start page is startpage.com. The alert also appears even when I search using DuckDuckGo, and also when I go back to home page.

Any suggestions?
