cannot connect to home camera on website

Hi. In Firefox versions newer than 153.0.4, I can't connect to my camera when I'm away from home. I see that the message about accepting the PLUGIN has changed a bit, and now a prompt to grant permissions pops up near the search bar. I think this problem occurred about 1.5 years ago. The camera is a FOSCAM, and I have the plugin from their website installed.

Interestingly, in Firefox versions newer than 154.0, I can log in and manage the camera via the web, but only on localhost at home :) The plugin prompt appears, and everything works fine.

Unfortunately, accessing it from outside my home doesn’t work, even though the camera’s login page loads. After entering my username and password, I get a “TIME OUT” message from the browser.

I’ve tried everything—creating a clean new profile, etc. Starting with version 153.0.4, you can only log in via localhost; otherwise, only the login page loads, and you get a “TIMEOUT” error after entering your username and password.

Please forgive me if I’m posting this in the wrong place, but I’m not very up-to-date and I’m using a translator.

Best regards.
