I am unable to load Newsmax - I get the message: "Secure Connection Failed

The connection to www.newsmax.com was interrupted while the page was loading.

   The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
   Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem."

It loads fine in Safari - maybe I should use that as my default browser.

I recently bought an new HP Win 11 PC to replace my current Win 10 machine. Running latest FF 144.0.2 on both. How do I transfer my complete FF profile (bookmarks, bookmark bar, login data, EVERYTHING) to the new PC? Want the new install to be an exact functional copy.

THANKS!

When I use IMAP/SMTP incoming/outgoing servers, sending message fails: it asks me to enter another password, but does not give me a prompt to enter it. When I click retry it hangs indefinitely. However, if I create an account with Exchange/Office 365 account, sending mail works just fine. This problem occurs very recently, probably due to an automatic update to Thunderbird 140.4.0esr

Any clues and cues would be very welcome

When I want to login with my Firefox account it asks me for a code as 2 factor but I can't remember that I ever signed up for 2 -factor . I have 2 apps fro 2 factor: google and Microsoft but neither has Mozilla identification in it. I would like to sign up for 2 factor but it looks like someone already did that for me. What now?

I am using the new profile switching feature in the UI, from top of the hamburger menu. Firefox is my default browser on Windows.

Now, I want all links I activate from other Windows programs to open in a specific profile. I use the other profiles for auxilary tasks.

Is there any way to achieve this?

I don't find in the on-line documentation any method to--when composing the body of an e-mail message--start new line without starting a new paragraph.

What I want is in a sense the opposite of the non-breaking space. I have read that discussion.

I am asking how to enter a break, without adding the space that is use between paragraphs.

I suddenly this week cannot send email using Thunderbird (v. 140.4.0esr (64-bit)). I receive email fine. I can send email using webmail with my provider. Error message in Thunderbird is: "Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail: Outgoing server (SMTP) error. The server responded: resomta-h2p-555359.sys.comcast.net resomta-h2p-555359.sys.comcast.net ESMTP server not available (62240/216.183.125.238)." My provider says the issue is not at their end because my server settings are correct. Outgoing SMTP port is 465, connection security SSL/TLS. Operating Windows 11 v. 24H2.

For years, I have been routing all my Gmails through Thunderbird very seamlessly. Then my computer crashed.

Nothing on my hard drive was retrievable...so I had to download Thunderbird onto my new computer. I then proceeded to move all my Gmail to this newly downloaded Thunderbird. I had many different files in Thunderbird on my old computer, so everything was tidy and easy to find. When I opened Gmail after losing my old computer, I was relieved to see that the files, and the way I had them organized was the same. So, I assumed it would transfer over to the newly downloaded Thunderbird that way.

However, when I moved all my Gmails to the newly downloaded Thunderbird, all 3200+ Gmail emails were lumped into Thunderbird's "inbox".

What can I do to get everything back into their folders like they were before?

2 days ago you tube is suddenly blocked. 11/6/2025 i would click a video, it would "blink" at me and do nothing. i updated firefox, ublock was updated about a month ago and now i can't even get a home page to load. i have refreshed and restarted

I generally always use Firefox on my PC for everything.

I also often chat with Amazon as they are never short when it comes to fucking my orders

I have not used Amazon for the past 2-3 months and when I finally placed a new order 3 days ago, to resolve the usual non delivery issue, I contacted them via Live Chat, however instead of seeing Chat window pop open as usual, all I got was ABOUT:BLANK in new tab, hmmm...

So far to fix this or at least ascertain cause:

- I contacted Amazon.fr (where I live) and guy at digital services said, "nah, no flies on us, it's Mozilla's fault" - Edge, on same PC (windows 10), works OK for chat - Launching in safe mode changes nothing - Nor does disabling NordVPN - I also added Amazon.fr as "exception" in pop-ups, to no avail - and when I unchecked block box to enable all pop-ups, no better luck - lastly, on my iphone via Safari, all is good, assuming one enjoys typing with 1-2 fingers

my version of Firefox is up to date: 144.0.2

voilà

suggestions?

thanks

Hi - I have added Kagi as a search engine and set it to be the default. This works as expected, until at some point, hours later, for reasons I don’t understand, it switches itself back to DuckDuckGo. Kagi remains available as a choice, and I can re-reset it back to default. I’m not sure if this is a bug, or a misconfiguration on my part. Thanks.

Every once in a while, my pinned tabs and/or my tab groups disappear. this usually happens after an update, but not always. Sometimes I type a lot of commands, and FF seems to get upset and freezes or goes black. I restart and poof, they're gone. I made a screenshot of my standard pinned tabs so I can restore it from that, which is a nuisance in itself. But the tab groups are gone forever along with the urls I painstakingly researched. I read the answers to two previous queries along these lines, both of which gave extensive, tedious procedures to recover them. I'm not willing to go through all that just to use Firefox. I've switched my tab groups to Edge just to keep them safe and although I prefer not to be captured by Google or Microsoft, am thinking about just switching to either of them.

Over the last couple of updates, FF has seemed less and less stable. I tried the vertical tabs and liked them but the open sidebar on hover stopped working and when the sidebar itself got stuck on open it hid the history and AI sidebars. Plus FF was very slow to open. I reverted to horizontal tabs and now it's faster but still the pins and tab group problems persist.

I'm using it on an HP desktop in Windows 11. Sorry I don't have any screenshots.

Reader view doesn't work on many Lifehacker pages/articles. Can something be done to make it work on those pages? Here's an example:
