Firefox Community Forum

Hello,

I'm seeking support to try to resolve an issue that has recently started happening. I can't be the only one who is experiencing this, so if this is resolved others can benefit too. I'm not a complete novice, but neither do I claim to be an I.T. expert.

I use my ISP's webmail service to access my emails. I'm aware I could use an email client, but I prefer to access via a web browser and have done so for many years. About a week ago, I was no longer able to sign in to my webmail. I thought it may be a problem with my provider, so I checked using other web browsers - Safari on iOS which worked and Microsoft Edge (using the same internet connection, same desktop PC) which also worked and continues to work without issue. I can only think it must be something wrong with Firefox? I can access the sign in page as normal using Firefox and select my email address, but after attempting to login I always get the same error message:

Sorry, we can't sign you in just now

Don't worry, it's just a quick pause to help keep your account safe.

Instead:

   Use a device you've signed in on before
   Try again from a familiar connection
   If you're on a VPN, switch it off and have another go 

Still stuck? If this keeps happening, get in touch with us (quoting reference IDF-12B) and we'll help sort it.

I have 2 extensions installed in Firefox - Adblock Plus and Ghostery. I have already added the specific URLs to the allowed websites list (first is the sign in page, second is what it redirects to):

mail2.virginmedia.com oauth.virginmediao2.co.uk

I have searched around for possible solutions, to no avail. Virgin Media advise only signing in on their main home page, but I've never done this as its just another step and extra unnecessary clicks. I don’t want to constantly be bombarded with news, offers and promotions every time I want to check my email, so I only use the direct webmail sign in.

I have tried clearing cache, cookies, etc. Then I tried to refresh Firefox, none of which worked. I also tried uninstalling Firefox, then using CCleaner to perform a clean up and registry scan to fix any possible issues, followed by a clean installation. To my surprise, I was able to sign in to webmail OK. However, the next morning, I got the same error. The only other settings I have tried tweaking is adding exceptions to turn off "Enhanced Tracking Protection" and "Block pop-ups and third-part redirects" on those 2 web addresses.

Any suggestions or options to try would be appreciated.

Buongiorno,

sto cercando di capire se il comportamento che sto osservando dipende da Firefox o da qualche impostazione relativa al ripristino della sessione.

Su una pagina che utilizza campi HTML input type="date" e input type="time", inserisco una data e un orario, ottengo correttamente il risultato e poi chiudo la scheda.

Dopo aver riaperto Firefox o ripristinato la sessione precedente, noto che in alcuni casi i valori visualizzati nei campi non corrispondono esattamente a quelli inseriti inizialmente oppure il risultato calcolato cambia leggermente.

Sono riuscito a riprodurre il comportamento su questa pagina dedicata al calcolo dell'ascendente ascendente.

Ho già provato a:

avviare Firefox in modalità risoluzione problemi; disattivare tutte le estensioni; cancellare cache e cookie; creare un nuovo profilo Firefox.

Su Chrome ed Edge non riesco a riprodurre lo stesso comportamento.

Qualcuno ha già riscontrato problemi simili con il ripristino automatico dei campi data/ora o con il recupero dello stato delle pagine dopo la riapertura del browser?

Grazie per qualsiasi suggerimento.

Hello,

I'm troubleshooting a Firefox Desktop issue that I haven't been able to reproduce consistently in other browsers.

I use a browser-based precious metal calculator that performs calculations instantly using JavaScript. The page loads correctly, but after changing several input values and navigating between tabs, Firefox occasionally continues displaying an older calculated result until I perform a hard refresh (Ctrl + F5).

I've been able to reproduce the issue consistently using this scrap calculator scrap calculator. The page loads normally, but Firefox sometimes continues displaying an older calculated value until a hard refresh is performed.

The page itself loads normally, and there are no visible JavaScript errors in the Browser Console. However, the displayed value sometimes does not update immediately after changing the weight or purity inputs.

So far I have tested:

• Firefox Troubleshoot Mode
• Disabled all extensions
• Cleared cache and cookies
• Tested a new Firefox profile
• Disabled Enhanced Tracking Protection for the site

The issue appears only in Firefox Desktop. Chrome and Edge update the calculation instantly under the same conditions.

Has anyone encountered similar behavior involving JavaScript-driven calculations, form inputs, or page caching in Firefox?

Are there specific Firefox settings or diagnostic tools I should check to determine whether this is related to caching, page state restoration, or another browser feature?

Thank you for any guidance.

Has anyone reported this before? I am working as a contractor for a BigTech company. I am using an online platform/tool of theirs for several years now but after a recent update the work area doesn't show scroll bars anymore. That means I cannot scroll the editor window and can't go beyond the first page. This makes working (and earning money) almost impossible. As even for the tiniest edit I have to download huge tasks which is extremely time-consuming. An inquiry with my manager there indicated that other contractors on firefox experience the same issue. so they consider it a firefox compatibility issue of some kind. They gave me the advice to use Chrome, Edge or Safri instead. Well, I use firefox because I do not want to use Chrome/Edge... Don't know about Safari but my PC is on Windows... Any idea what can cause it and how to resolve the issue?

can not log into https://gallowayprecision.com/ When attempting, there is a sight verification window, it passes, no errors, but once at the sight, I can't get any of the sign in, cart, place items or anything to work.

Edge works fine. Tried all I can think of, still no access using Mozilla

Has Firefox instituted a security setting that is interfering with commerce-related sites? Suddenly I can't log in to my credit union (gets stuck on "authentication" step), amazon.com (endless "transferring data" message during login attempt), and mutual fund sites (similar to amazon.com experience). These all are related to money/commerce. I've turned off Firefox's popup blocking and even explicitly allowed cookies for the sites. I did a Refresh to get rid of extensions that might be causing problems (even though there wasn't a problem a week ago on these sites). I've tried Firefox on a second computer for the credit union site and got the same behavior. Chrome has no problem with these logins, by the way.

Turn off tracking, even put x.com as an exception and it still won't let me log into X. Other browsers will but not firefox. I have noticed login problems on other sites too.. even with it " off" ie: IT DOES NOT TURN OFF. Windows 10 system

Hello Firefox Support, I need your help with a problem in Mozilla Firefox. I play Zynga Poker on my laptop. Firefox is much faster than other browsers on my computer, but Zynga Poker does not load. It only displays the message "Sorry, reload." Reloading the page does not solve the problem. The game works in Google Chrome, but Chrome is extremely slow, making it difficult to play. Could you please help me find out why Zynga Poker does not work correctly in Firefox and how I can fix this issue? Thank you for your time and support. Kind regards

I can't log into my Google account using Firefox. Can log in on Chrome using the same device so I don't think the device is the problem. It was fine until about an hour ago. When I attempted to click on a YouTube tab the tab closed. Any attempt to log in redirects me to a Google support page about deleting my cache and cookies. Which I've already done multiple times and I still can't log in.

I'm running Firefox on Win10 with no options to upgrade to 11. Since the latest firefox update installed, I'm getting a screen that says "Oops, something's wrong," and then I'm kicked out of gmail. A screen asks about sending a report to Firefox, which I check OK for. Today this is happening about every minute to 30 seconds . What needs to happen?

I have had problems logging into my PayPal account have changed my password several times but the change has not been saved. also I have tried to purchase items on the internet and paypal would not connect in firefox but would connect on another server why ?

I am having the problem a fix was created for previously where attempts to sign in to my google account continually redirect to a request to clear cache and cookies. Have done so multiple times, still can't log in. Can log in on Chrome so definitely a Firefox-specific issue.

We have resolved an issue with Google prompting users to ‘clear cookies and site data’ when logging in. A fix has been published, via Firefox remote settings that does not require a Firefox upgrade. Users will receive the update over the next 6hrs, if you would like to update immediately simply restart Firefox.

Note: The issue was related to CHIPS being enabled in Fx131, this feature has been temporarily disabled while we resolve the issues. Users who have disabled 'Allow Firefox to install and run studies' in Privacy & Security settings will need to enable to receive the update.

After typing in alaskaair.com account info... I get this... It use to work on firefox, doesn't anymore after I set up this as a profile..

The server at auth0.alaskaair.com sent back an error: 406 Not Acceptable

However, works on edge browser.

I just can't believe after 25 years of using Firefox I have to change to Microsoft browsers. Every website I have an issue with says it's Firefox and their solution is to use Chrome or Edge. Why are you so stupid to allow this happen without an easy fix and no online help to keep longtime loyal users???

You are forcing me to go to the competition for the rest of my life, does that not resonate with anyone there???
