Okay, so starting a few months ago, ANY time I try to search Google from my Firefox start/home page... Nothing. It just will not go. It just loads forever. 3 out of 5 times it will not do anything. However, I can go to Opera which has all the same plugins and its totally fine. Most times i open a new tab I know confidently that whatever I try to search for is not going to load.

This keeps up Im gonna uninstall Firefox and just start using Opera full time.

I use this 2 websites almost on a daily basis: www.saij.gob.ar and www.cij.gov.ar. They are official government websites that contain information about the laws and jurisprudence of my country. Since about last friday, whenever I access any page on those websites they don't display all the information they are supposed to. In the case of saij.gob.ar pages only show the header, but not the full text of the law. In the case of cij.gov.ar/sentencias.html when I try to download a court ruling I get a 0kb file. I thought it was an issue with the websites, but it turns out I can access them just fine from my phone using Chrome. I can even access them on the same pc, using Firefox private browser mode. It seems to be an issue with the "regular" version of the browser. This is a big deal to me, because I need to use those websites for work.

I attach 2 screenshots of this page: http://www.saij.gob.ar/26994-nacional-codigo-civil-comercial-nacion-lns0005965-2014-10-01/123456789-0abc-defg-g56-95000scanyel?q=%28numero-norma%3A26994%20%29&o=0&f=Total%7CTipo%20de%20Documento/Legislaci%F3n/Ley%7CFecha%7COrganismo%7CPublicaci%F3n%7CTema%7CEstado%20de%20Vigencia%7CAutor%7CJurisdicci%F3n&t=1 The first one shows the page on the regular browser, the other on private mode. Notice how small the scrollbar is in the second image, because there's a lot more content on the exact same page. Before you ask: I already tried accessing the website on "troubleshooting mode", it keeps displaying it wrong.

Hello, the Secure Connection Failed started up after one of your recent updates. It is affecting News Max and my banks internet banking software. Both sites work fine in MS Edge. The fix I read on your site said to try this: "In the Location bar, type about:config and press Enter. The about:config "This might void your warranty!" warning page may appear.

   Click I'll be careful, I promise! to continue to the about:config page.
   copy the next security.ssl.enable_ocsp_stapling and paste it in the search field
   double-click on it to make it false
   close the page, exit firefox and restart it. "

Doesn't work for me. What else can I try?

Take care, Doug

I'm unable to watch videos on Crunchyroll. When I try to watch a video, the video becomes a static image of one frame. When I switch tabs and come back to the video, or hit refresh, it changes to the latest frame of the video but freezes once again. I have the latest version of Firefox and am using a Macbook. Per suggestions I have found online, I have tried disabling all my extensions, deleting my cache, deleting the Firefox folder in my ~/Library, making sure DRM content is enabled, and uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox altogether. Nothing works. Was hoping to switch over to Firefox since Google Chrome has banned ublock origin, but I keep running into these obnoxious video problems. The same issue also happens on Amazon Prime Video, but only when I press full screen.

When I am browsing in either regular mode or safe mode, the scroll buttons for next or previous slide do not appear on the MSN web page. However, if I open a private browsing tab from either regular or safe mode, the scroll buttons appear and are functional. I am running Firefox version 129.0.2 (64 bit) on Windows 11 Home version 23H2. I have refreshed Firefox and also uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox. I have also toggled "always show scrollbars" on in Windows settings. No change. These scroll buttons function in other browsers (Edge, Chrome), but I prefer Firefox. Where do I go from here?

Websites only load as text or blank in Firefox, already cleared Cache and Cookies

Hi, out of nowhere my Firefox has stopped loading any pages for the past hour. I have read the existing community articles and cleared all of my history, cache, cookies, and restarted my computer 4 times. Firefox is up to date and was working fine up until I left my computer and returned to it an hour ago. I haven't downloaded anything new or clicked anything weird, I was just listening to a regular podcast this morning. All websites either show up as left-aligned text with no images, or are completely blank. This includes Gmail, Tumblr, Youtube, EyeBuyDirect, etc. All of these sites load perfectly in Edge so the issue is specific to Firefox. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Edit to Update: I turned off my AdBlock extensions one by one to narrow down the issue. The problem was AdBlocker Ultimate. I disabled it and now all my websites in Firefox are working as normal.

Since 129.01 i cannot play HD Videos on amazon any longer. This Problem happened alot over the years. It really goes on my nerve. The only reason i cannot get rid of spyware like chrome is because its the only method to watch amazon videos reliably. SD only works, Widevine also had an update yesterday, so maybe its part of the problem. Anyway, did a Firefox reset, testet on another windows machine. Does not work anymore. Please fix it.

My website is http://bigelowdesignco.com

As of today and today only Firefox refuses to show my homepage like it's supposed to, and instead it only shows some strange webpage I have never seen before saying "Account not found".

I opened my website on Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Safari, and Firefox on my iPhone with zero issue. However, I have check Firefox for desktop on two different computers, and been shown the same page.

I have already cleared my cache, history and cookies. I also uninstalled Firefox and did a fresh install, only to have the same problem.

I'm just really confused what happened as this has never happened before. I got scared someone hijacked my website, but that wouldn't make sense since it's working on everything but Firefox on my desktop. I've just never seen this "Account not found" page before and this page has nothing to do with my website, domain, or hosting. My website and domain are all on Squarespace.

When I go to linkedin.com, it gets stuck on the loading screen and never progresses to a usable site. It worked fine on August 22nd but was broken on the 23rd, and I don't think anything on my end updated overnight. I haven't noticed an issue on any other websites. Is there a way to fix this?

  • Works fine on safari and chrome.
  • No change when I disable adblockers.
  • Restarting firefox did not fix it.
  • Deleting cookies and clearing the cache did not fix it.

Thanks!

For a few months now I've been having issues uploading firmware files to my QNAP server's website. I was trying to update the firmware, but it wouldn't allow the file to even be uploaded. Would just get a general "error" with no help.

This past week a started having issues with 7digital.com not allowing me to download zipped music files. It kept giving an error about the oauth token not being passed through. (Error: Authorization failed for method <GET> and URL <http://media.geo.7digital.com/media/user/download/release>. Missing oauth_consumer_key)

Finally figured out that this is only happening in Firefox, Brave browser and other Chrome based browsers don't have the issue.

I've tried turning off the tracking and download protection in settings, but it didn't help. So, what's causing it?

Using Firefox 128.0.3 (64-bit) on Linux (NixOS).

https://www.centrecom.com.au

This was one of our primary suppliers for technology. Contacted them they just said "suck it up, princess".

Recently AWS started doing "human verification" on all VPN traffic to websites they host on their CDN(s). This results in all our Windows 10 PCs running Firefox ESR 102.13.0 going into an endless "Human verification" loop, never able to access the website.

On the Windows 2012 R2 server we have access to the above website works. We see "human verification" for a second or two and then the website is displayed.

So, copied my profile from a Windows 10 PC that doesn't work to the server and it works.

I've tried with tracking protection off. Turned off all adblockers, run in safe mode with all addons disabled, cleared my cache, deleted all cookies Created a new profile and still no go. Turned off Windows firewall, moved hosts file out of the way. Still no go. Also deleted prefs.js to run firefox as completely vanilla without any changed preferences.

I'm not inclined to install malware, so chrome based browsers are not an option. They are actually blocked so I couldn't install them even if I wanted to.

All PCs are on 21H2 3208. Upgrading is not an option at this time. PCs will be upgraded mid-late 2024.

All PCs are required to be connected to VPN at all times as we work from home. Being on call late into the night also means we can't just disconnect. We use NordVPN. Yes I know there is a lot of paranoia about VPNs being the source of all online crime. I just think that's an over-generalization. A convenient excuse.

https://www.scorptec.com.au did a similar thing earlier this year, but at least with them we get a captcha and can get to their site.

Could this be a browser issue, or is this more likely to be a Windows 10 issue? Also updated Windows 10 to latest patch each month and it's been the same for three months.

Ok, so this is an odd one.

I gamble with William Hill online using Firefox as my browser.

Every year this same problems happen when the clocks go forward in spring time here in the UK.

So I go on the WH website Sunday (for example) at 11pm and it will show me Mondays football matches. But. At 12am Monday until 1am, the now todays football matches do not appear. Its like the browser can no accept this time period exists because as soon as 1am comes, the matches (for Monday) appear.

So I contacted WH for support. They advised that if I am using Firefox that I should try IE instead. So I did. And guess what? The problem doesn't happen on IE. Mondays matches do exist between 12am and 1am. So it is definitely a firefox issue.

But the issue resolves at the end of October when the clocks go back.

So what is going on here? Any solutions? This has been going on several years.
