iCloud > Private Relay breaks Firefox when accessing company internal websites

Hi,

I have been struggling for months and months with Firefox on macOS. I have been the only user in our company struggling.

Our IT has been constantly attacking me for using Apple macOS Betas and iOS Betas. And many people in the company have assumed the problems are related to macOS DNS issues.

To try to solve the problems, we removed my Fortigate hardware vpn. We set me up with a new wifi router.

I am on macOS 27 Developer Beta 5.

Brave can access process.tomsawyer.com and build.tomsawyer.com. Chrome can access process.tomsawyer.com and build.tomsawyer.com. Safari could not access process.tomsawyer.com and build.tomsawyer.com. Firefox could not access process.tomsawyer.com and build.tomsawyer.com.

I have been struggling for a long time. Today Safari was unable to access process.tomsawyer.com and build.tomsawyer.com, both of which are internal Tom Sawyer Software web sites. I finally realized that I had iCloud > Private Relay turned on and I decided to try turning it off.

Good news Safari could now access process.tomsawyer.com and build.tomsawyer.com.

I went about my business trying to debug other problems because Firefox on Windows 11 also could not access process.tomsawyer.com and build.tomsawyer.com. I have a brand new Windows 11 setup on another laptop. Turning off DNS over HTTP in Firefox on Windows 11 solved the problem so now the Edge, Chrome, Brave, and Firefox browsers could all access our internal Tom Sawyer websites, good news!

Then at the last minute, because I became curious, I did a test and I turned off iCloud > Private Relay and Firefox suddenly could access process.tomsawyer.com and build.tomsawyer.com on macOS.

I then turned on iCloud > Private Relay and Firefox suddenly could not access process.tomsawyer.com and build.tomsawyer.com on macOS.

I quit and restarted Firefox in between each change of settings for iCloud > Private Relay.

I did this Private Relay on and off a couple of more times, yes turning it on breaks Firefox on macOS when accessing internal company websites.

This reminds me of the old days where Windows and Internet Explorer were intertwined. Apple is doing something similar to what Microsoft used to do in the bad old days with Internet Explorer.

I've been literally struggling for months and months, and now I use Brave happily. I'll hope my Firefox problems are now solved but the Firefox team should work with Apple and address this iCloud > Private Relay problem together.

Good luck!

Thanks, Brendan Madden CEO Tom Sawyer Software

Hi There are image display issues with Firefox. The attached image shows a screenshot comparing the same page on Glazy.org: Chrome on the left and Firefox on the right. The image appears too dark in Firefox, making it difficult to work using that browser. Is this a bug or a setting that needs adjusting? I haven't been able to find a solution. Thanks for your help.

Tabs randomly freeze/unresponsive after resuming from sleep (Windows 11)

Hi everyone,

Since updating to Firefox 129 on Windows 11, some tabs become unresponsive after my laptop wakes from sleep — no crash, no "Not Responding" warning, just frozen. about:processes shows the tab still running with ~0% CPU, so it's not hung, just not repainting.

Tried: disabling hardware acceleration (helps a bit), fresh profile (still happens), Troubleshoot Mode (less frequent but not gone).

Anyone else seeing this? Known WebRender/compositor bug tied to sleep/resume, or a Windows 11 power management conflict?

Thanks!

On my Firefox Home Page, I selected two rows of PINNED shortcuts. Each time I open a webpage that webpage is added not only to the two selected rows of shortcuts, but "keeps" EVERY webpage selected after filling the two selected shortcut rows. It is not only annoying and inconvenient, but s l o w s work time to a crawl around these shortcuts ... few, if any, are helpful. If I want to re-entry an UNPINNED shortcuts, I go to history and select the one I want. WHEN is Fire Fox to solve this seemingly simple but annoying problem?
