Running Firefox 133.0.3 on Windows 10 22H2

The last week or so, when I try to download my photos from iCloud, Firefox blocks the download, saying it contains a virus or malware. Of course it does not - it's a zip file of screenshots! Running a scan on the folder once unzipped confirms there is nothing malicious in it. Can you fix that please?

28Dec2024

I've been using FireFox to login to nytimes.com for many years. Recently, the nytimes.com website hasn't been working properly. It works fine using Edge.

Symptoms are: (1) The zoom level at login and the zoom on going from page to page is very inconsistent. (2) Clicking the Account button does not open the account settings page. Instead it causes the screen background to become grey.

I restarted FireFox in troubleshooting mode, but this did not improve the behavior. I have a single extension (Adblock). Disabling Adblock on nytimes.com also did not improve things.

Firefox is giving me an error on https://stemgateway.nasa.gov but the site is perfectly accessible using MS Edge and using Firefox on another computer. I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox, changed the proxy settings to not use a proxy, tested a VPN, and changed DNS servers. Below is a picture of the error and of the certificate which seems to be present in Firefox already.

I can no longer access my local TrueNAS server nor router via Firefox. My current version is 133.0.3. Safari has no trouble. Firefox gives no warning, no Advanced button, no option to bypass security. All I get is: "Unable to connect An error occurred during a connection to 192.168.0.102.

   The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
   If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer’s network connection.
   If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the web."

I have tried so many settings, troubleshootings, workarounds, I can't begin to list them. It happens in troubleshooting mode. I have created SSL certificates on the server many different ways to no avail. I'm thinking I will have to abandon Firefox with it's obscure, no-way-through security. But I wanted to ask for help first. Please help.

On the Dallas Theological Seminary site, only this site, suddenly I'm unable to login - it doesn't recognize my password. Nor will it allow me to make a donation. I complete the donation form and it just keeps going round and round "processing" but never does it. I cleared my cache, re-started my laptop, made sure Win 11 is updated, still same problem. I did not try disabling extensions because they haven't changed in a long time. I opened it in incognito window and was able to login and make donation there. However I could not log in to my Gmail account from there. I went to a different laptop that runs Opera browser and logged into DTS just fine. This problem just started. Until recently I had no trouble with this site.

I'm trying to log into this page: https://accounts.firefox.com

The sign up or sign in button doesn't work. The first time I click it, it immediately refreshes. I click again and nothing. On the 3rd click, it just spins for 30 seconds then goes back to being blue. This continues every time I attempt to click further.

I can login on this page just fine using Firefox on my android phone. I can also login using the Edge browser. Matter of fact, I had to use Edge so I could post this issue.

This is a completely fresh install of Firefox, on a completely fresh install of Windows.

I've noticed that whenever I press ⌥⇧Space (option-shift-spacebar) in Firefox Developer Edition, it causes the page to refresh.

This behaviour seems to be consistent across devices.

Is there a way to change/disable this behaviour? It is very inconvenient, as it often causes me to accidentally trigger a page refresh when I type an em dash (`—`) in a text input (opt-shift-dash, and then type a space character after it, I'm very likely to hit opt-shift-space by mistake 🙈).

Ive been told that firefox does not support https://web.minidisc.wiki/ (Web minidic pro) and only google chrome does. I hate google chrome. how difficult would it be for firefox to support usb devices like a minidisc recorder player. I guess its down to drivers or some form of plug in? Could firefox be made to support my minidisc or is it too much of a security/software performance issue? Cheers Mark
