Hello, I am using Linux Mint on a desktop with the latest version of Firefox. Two weeks ago I could login to the Discover website with no problems. Suddenly I can not log in, but get an error message that something is wrong and I can't login. I can login using Chrome on this machine. My wife gets the same message when she tried to login to her account on my computer. After several discussions with Discover, all I get is "it is not our problem."

I am having no problems logging into other accounts with Firefox on this computer.

I have not explicitly changed anything on the browser or computer. I have done some updates which included Firefox. I can login on a different Linux computer using an older version of Firefox. Of course the updates were also to the computer and I will ask the same question to the Linux forum.

I really like Firefox and would hate to have to change to Chrome.

Thanks so much for your help.

Since I upgraded from FF128-esr to FF140-esr I always get the "Firefox is being updated by another instance" This is really driving me crazy, as I checked / did / .... everything (and even more) I found on the internet related to that.

Nothing helps !

Creating and using a new default profile didn't help

Finally I ended up uninstalling FF completely (making sure no -zero- leftovers remained in ProgramFiles, AppData a.s.o.), and reinstalled FF140.7.0-esr freshly. After installation I started FF immediately with the created default profile (only existing one) --> SAME THING : "Firefox is being updated by another instance"

And this is really a FF140 thing, when I go back to FF128, on the same computer, same profiles, ...., the problem is gone.

I would like to know in detail what checks are really done by FF to decide to give that "Firefox is being updated by another instance"

I downloaded the Firefox ESR for my High Siera OS, but I still get the message that Firefox is no longer supported, Why??? Just let me know what I need to do so I can use the browser without worry.

I have a MacPro 2012, updated to the max. I'm retired, and by budget does not allow for a new computer.

Thanks. Doina Paraschiv

Hi,

I'm experiencing an issue with Firefox caching a JSON file.

My website uses a JSON file to display dynamic values. After updating the JSON file on the server, Chrome, Edge, and other browsers immediately show the latest data, but Firefox continues to display the old values even after refreshing the page.

I have tried: - Hard refresh (Ctrl + Shift + R) - Clearing Firefox cache - Private Browsing mode - Confirmed the JSON file is updated on the server - Verified that Chrome and Edge display the latest values

The JSON file is requested using JavaScript from my website: Main issue on this page: https://bloxvalues.net/blox-fruits-value-calculator/ and other individul item pages too.

Could Firefox be aggressively caching the JSON file, or is there a cache-related setting or HTTP header I should check? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thank you. Qaamar

Every new version of firefox just gets slower and slower. Now with version 152.4, I try to load a website, it just continuously tries to load, doesn't even if load the page just has those 3 dots to indicate it is loading. Nothing ever loads

I am starting to think switching from firefox is necessary at this point because no other browser has this issue like firefox. No other browser consumes a ridiculous amount of memory like firefox does.

I did adjustments to my anti-virus as recommended, did the settings changes on firefox to speed it up as recommended, still same issue.

When you guys create a new update, please focus on speed over security and ensure it loads faster. I am likely going to revert back to an older update or switch browsers, because I don't care about security so much as actually loading a website.

this is my back-up laptop, which until recently synced perfectly with the main one. now all bookmarks are missing, and I cannot understand what is happening the background.

How to download a pdf without secure download ? I thought windows defender was the problem, but I can download a pdf without cleaning it with chrome.

My tax return declaration is made using a spreadsheet like pdf document, and when downloading it with firefox, the cleaned document cannot be filled in.

I am able to sign in, but should not have to. The VPN repeatedly drops out - not just losing my LAN but shutting down and requiring a new sign-in to restart. About half the time it also forgets all the settings I've established. Very inconvenient, because I never know WHEN it's shut down! Ideas??

Hi. Just signed up for Mozilla VPN, but used a different email address than my account email. How do I change the VPN email without a password?

Thank you for your time and very kind attention.

Hello,

I have a problem verifying a secondary email address for my Mozilla Account.

Whenever I click "Send verification code", the website confirms that the code has been sent, but I never receive any email.

I have already ruled out the usual causes:

The mailbox is working correctly. I receive emails from other senders without any problems. I checked the Inbox, Spam and Junk folders. I waited for more than 30 minutes and tried multiple times. I tested with different browsers and private browsing mode.

Most importantly, I tested two completely different email providers:

[email removed to protect user's privacy] (STRATO) [email removed to protect user's privacy] (Telekom Germany)

The verification email is not delivered to either address.
