For the past few days almost every site I try to visit gets the error:

Secure Connection Failed An error occurred during a connection to.... SSL received a record that exceeded the maximum permissible length. Error code: SSL_ERROR_RX_RECORD_TOO_LONG

this has happened on and off in the past for one or two sites but usually fixes itself within a day or less but this time it's been days. I tried everything I've seen online: -Try without add ons, - I am using 'system settings' proxy, -Followed an 8-yr-old suggestion of switching security.tls.version.max from 4 to 3 -My AV doesn't have HTTPS scanning that I can disable -It doesn't allow me to toggle the 'enhanced tracking is on' in the address bar -I've tried adding a site as an exception to DNS over HTTPS and turning Enable DNS over HTTPS off

Nothing has helped. These are all sites I've used in the past. I am using Nightly v150 at the moment but obviously same situation with FF or R3dfox.

If anyone can suggest how to bypass this so I don't have to use Edge/Chrome/Supermium (which all display these sites without issue) I'd appreciate it so much!

(*I'm looking for help with THIS issue on a W7 laptop, not about whether I should upgrade the OS.)

Thanks.

I would like to understand how DNS over HTTPS impacts browsing speed and privacy in Firefox.

Details: Hello everyone,

I am currently exploring Firefox privacy and network settings, especially DNS over HTTPS (DoH). I noticed that enabling this feature slightly changes website loading behavior on some networks.

I would like to ask:

Does DNS over HTTPS introduce additional latency? Are there performance differences between providers? Can corporate or public Wi-Fi networks interfere with DoH requests? Is there a recommended configuration for balancing privacy and performance?

I’m interested in both technical explanations and real-world experiences from Firefox users.

Thank you.

Hi, I'm using a policie file to force a family-dns. Ive written the current code down below. Unfortunately this leaves the "manage exeption"-button open, where its possible to simply bypass the block for a specific site. Is there a way to lock this button in the policie file? Thank you very much. {

 "policies": {
   "DNSOverHTTPS": {
     "Enabled": true,
     "Locked": true,
     "ProviderURL": "https://doh16.jusprogdns.com/dns-query"
   },
   "Preferences": {
     "network.trr.mode": {
       "Value": 3,
       "Status": "locked"
     }
   }
 }

Using FF 140.10.1 esr on a windows pc I noticed (probably long after the fact and numerous updates) that there's no longer https:// in the address bar. Having some recent issues with security made me look for this.

When I switched to Edge, the https:// was in the adddresses I was using. There is a lock symbol, but the locks seem to change in their appearance from one browser or website to the next.

Was this verification sign removed and, if so, why?  

Thank you.

Dear Mozilla Team,

I kindly ask you to add support for the X25519MLKEM768 hybrid post-quantum key exchange to the domain detectportal.firefox.com (the URL used by Firefox connection testing). This small change would significantly strengthen privacy protection for millions of users who rely on Firefox's connection test URL. As you know, this mechanism has already been successfully implemented on almost all of your other domains. Extending the same protection to detectportal.firefox.com would ensure consistency and close the remaining gap. Thank you very much for your ongoing work on privacy and post-quantum cryptography. I would greatly appreciate your attention to this request. Best regards, Anonymous

My broadband router set ip address is not secure as it's HTTP What is the solution to able me to access my home router via Wifi in the same location of course which is at home?

Hi, I used to see the HTTPS designation in the Firefox address bar, but no longer see it lately. It does appear in the Edge address bar.

I do appreciate your help.
