Why does my older computer running Windows 7 keep losing the ability to access "https:// sites"?

To resolve, I have to reset the network adapter (sometimes successful) or restart the computer to access these sites.

Hi, since some weeks I'm unable to access some websites with Firefox, cause I get 403 errors, for instance https://www.bexley.fr/. It works well with Chrome on the same computer+same OS, or with a newer version of Firefox on W10 (same computer, dual boot), but with my W7 and Firefox 115.35.1esr I can't access them because of that error. Any idea how I could fix that ? All my computers on W7 and the same version of Firefox are concerned. Thank you.

I have tried to bookmark websites recently and cannot. Once the star in the web address turns blue the pop up scree will appear. I hit the save button and the website does not bookmark in the file created for say 'news' bookmarks. I tried with other websites/bookmark files. Nothing seems to be happening.

Videos don't play on some sites. CNN. MSNBC. Etc. Everything is on the screen - image, script gets underlined when mouse passes over - but there's no arrow when I pass over the image. What gives? I've tried everything I can think of. HELP!

Thank you.

I received the following error when attempting to access www.choicehotels.com:

Access Denied You don't have permission to access "http://www.choicehotels.com/" on this server. Reference #18.71cfdb17.1777217251.b86336d7 https://errors.edgesuite.net/18.71cfdb17.1777217251.b86336d7

The same thing happened to me when I attempted to login to the Marriott website a few days ago. Initially, I thought it was Marriott's server that was the problem but since the problem has appeared on two different hotel chains, I suspected the problem was with Firefox's servers. So, to check, I launched the Google Chrome search engine and made the same exact search and the problem away. My search was successful.

Can you please help me so that I don't continue getting these errors? If you are unable to help, I will be forced to remove Firefox from my desktop computer because I need to be able to make hotel reservations without encountering this type of problem.

My computer is an older Windows 7 Home Premium with Service Pack 1.

Thank you.

How do I stop this from happening; never had this much of a problem before.

Access Denied You don't have permission to access "http://www.overstock.com/O-Days-Extra-20-Sale,/link,/results.html?" on this server.

I have a Mac that you are threatening not to serve any more. I read about your Extended download. If I do not download this Firefox Extended upgrade, does this mean that my Mac will not be able to browse and read web pages, etc., or will I not be able to open any URLs?

Also, I am having problems with some downloads in Acrobat not displaying the proper font type and size and kerning, but it downloads and prints those documents in the right dimensions. Is this a Firefox problem or an Acrobat problem or a computer problem?

I should mention that I am just about out of memory on this old computer and do not wish to add more downloads at this time, until I can get some memory cleared out, which might take me awhile.

In the last two versions -- Firefox ESR - 115.34.1esr and 115.35.0esr -- the virtual keyboard (on-screen keyboard) is no longer visible. See attachments - login screen.png and Firefox version screenshot.png
