In November 2017 a moderator for the firefox.mozilla newsgroups put me on the naughty step for comments about the new incarnation of Firefox. (Quantum).
It's now over a year later and I'm still on the naughty step, and though I have attempted to contact the moderator in question, the addresses used all failed... Or I'm being ignored.
A step tooooo far was taken today when the moderator also put my cousin on the proscribed list, who's been kind enough to post occasional queries I've had about Fx.
Having been contacted by cousin today, informing that said Moderator has now put a blanket ban on the ISP (By address) who supplies internet connection for various family members.
How is this problem to be resolved?
Thanks Dave

I use the native dictation software for the Mac called Enhanced Dictation which is run locally from my computer. I'm running High Sierra. I need to be able to navigate around the screen using my voice.
The way I normally interact with clickable items on a website, using the Safari browser, is that I say the command "show numbers" and the dictation software maps a number to each clickable item on the webpage. Then I can speak the number and the software will click on that item. However, when I attempted to use the Firefox browser, and spoke the command "show numbers," no numbers appeared. The result is that I cannot navigate Firefox with my voice and thus your browser inaccessible to me. Perhaps Firefox is missing a type of framework for my software to interact with.

This is not a simple question to ask and is not very easy to explain. But I shall try.
I am running a program suite called "Node-Red" on another machine. Access is done via the "web". (http). Usually you just enter the IP address and you are into the edit screen. This is obviously not a good idea on a machine exposed to the net. So, you activate security settings. (See a bit later)
I am using Firefox as my main browser and I have activated security settings in Node-Red. Subsequently I can't log in. BUT! Other browsers can. (From other people) I have tried it and seen it once work. Sorry but that's all I have at this time. The information attached about my system is unedited, because as I said: I don't know what is needed at this stage.
I can get the "name" entered, but every time I click on the Password field, the cursor jumps back to the name field.
(Documents for what I am doing) https://nodered.org/docs/security.html
See attached image for what I see in FF. Please forgive the red arrows. I was talking to the Node-Red people about it also. "Luckily" someone else is having problems when using FireFox. But they can if they use another browser - as stated.
I don't know exactly what information (at this time) is needed. Alas it may require someone in here to install Node-Red and try it them selves.
I also appreciate that is a big ask. But it would seem I am not the only person with this problem and someone else has recently posted that they have the same problem.
What further complicated me asking here is I have a couple of other programs installed for password management and I had to go through the process of eliminating them.
So I am now at the point where it is pointing to FireFox and it not playing the game.
Thanks in advance for any help in resolving the problem.

The new Firefox quantum 57, has got an incredibly serious problem that must be understood and resolved.
I use a touchscreen, and with my touchscreen on previous versions of Firefox, I use it to select text on webpages and I use the scroll bar to the right to scroll the webpage.
Now when I touch a webpage, it simply drags the page up and down and I have no ability whatsoever to select text and I do not want clicking and dragging on a webpage to scroll the page but instead to select text.
Also I notice that seemingly randomly but under certain conditions the right-click shortcut menu displays when that is not even the intent. Rather than letting the operating system display it when I click and hold the point on the screen for a few seconds.
This is a huge usability and accessibility problem. This is an absolute disaster with the consequence of that change that has been made.
You need to realize the incredible stupidity of what you have done to destroy to the functionality of the browser. And I do not want to be told how to modify I use the browser. I need the functionality restored the way it was before.
I cannot even double click on a word on a webpage to select it like in previous versions of Firefox. I cannot even do my work anymore. This browser is totally completely unacceptable and unusable by me and I am sure as others as well. You should realize the incredibly serious consequence of what you have done.

Every day around 9:30 PM, browsing the web becomes impossible. nearly every site I visit brings up a This Connection Is Untrusted page. I have tried using different browsers and Different Devices. Even my 3DS doesn't work. This has lead me to believe that the problem is either with the modem or my service provider. I checked the certificate of Google via chrome://pippki/content/exceptionDialog.xul, and it read ISSUED TO Common Name (CN) security.frontier.com Organization (O) security.frontier.com and when I checked it now, it reads ISSUED TO Common Name (CN) www.google.com Organization (O) Google Inc I don't know what fixes this problem since the problem stops at different times. It started around when I installed AVG, so I tried uninstalling it, but the problem didn't stop. While I'm fairly certain the problem isn't related to Firefox, this is one of the sites that I am able to visit when this problem occurs. I have tried manually adding the exception so I could bypass the Untrusted Connection page, but the page never loads and the next time it happens, the page is there again anyway.

First, repeating my original issue: I have a Mac, OS 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard). I can access my Hotmail "Contacts" page using Safari, and at one point it seemed I could with Firefox. Now, I can still get to my Hotmail account with Firefox, but not my "Contacts" page. When I try to, I get this message:
"This page is temporarily unavailable. We're sorry, there was a problem showing this page. We experienced some technical difficulties retrieving the content."
Although I had my OS restored a few days ago, this problem may have existed before that, but I was using Safari, so I may not have noticed it.
Please use layman's terms--I am not tech savvy.
The response from Mozilla was to clear my cache and cookies, but they clear automatically when I exit Firefox. Then there was advice to start in Safe Mode--that sounds more like for a PC then a Mac. I had this very problem last year when I could access my contacts through Safari, but not Internet Explorer on my PC at work. After a few months, IE suddenly connected to my Hotmail contacts, WITHOUT MY DOING ANYTHING. COULD IT BE THAT THERE IS SOME KIND OF DISCONNECT BETWEEN FIREFOX AND HOTMAIL, THAT HAPPENS AFTER GET INTO MY HOTMAIL ACCOUNT, THAT WON'T LET ME GO TO MY ADDRESS BOOK? CAN SOMEONE CHECK ON THIS, SO I DON'T SPIN MY WHEELS TRYING TO SOLVE A PROBLEM FROM MY END, THAT NEEDS TO BE SOLVED INTERNALLY THROUGH FIREFOX/MOZILLA?
Why does Firefox 38+ silently abort web requests over 20 secs?

I'm experiencing the exact same problem described here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1047223?fpa=1 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1135282
I've tested Firefox 38.4 (ESR), and 42.0 (current release at time of writing).
To summarise, when hitting a website that takes a long time (> 20 secs or so) to send its response, Firefox will silently abort the request. That is, the progress spinner in the top left stops, no Timeout error page is displayed, and whatever was displayed in the Firefox content window at the time of the request will remain there. To check the behavior, navigate to: http://www.jeffersonscher.com/res/sleep120.php
Other tested browsers (Edge 13, IE11, Chrome 47, Firefox ESR 31) will wait 120 seconds, then render the text "Slept 120 seconds before generating HTML".
I've toyed with a variety of about:config network timeout settings to try and overcome the issue, with no luck. Hopefully a contributor will be able to repro using the provided link.
If you're registered and can repro the above, please +1 so the defect isn't closed like it was last time :)
Firefox will not load Facebook. This is the only site that will not load. Why?

Hi all,
We have discovered an odd issue with Mozilla (several current versions tested) and one of our websites. There is a two stage login - username & password followed by eg mothers maiden name on subsequent page
When a new instance of firefox is opened then on completing the login answers the user is immediately returned back to the login page with a 'your session has timed out' message - basically our software returns our timeout page. If, on the same page you then login again everything is fine. If you close your window and open a new one then the problem occurs again. This is not cache related as I have done a lot of testing which almost certainly eliminates that.
Could anybody please offer further ideas? The site is https I have after googling tried a couple of random things like adding the site to exceptions list but no change. I have used developer console to follow the network calls and without a massive analysis, things seem to be correct.
I have tested in safe mode also so it is not related to extensions or add ins
Thanks for any advice.

We have difficulty trying to connect to our server using a browser. Google Chrome can connect, but Mozilla Firefox cannot. This problem is related to the "Weak Diffie-Hellman and the Logjam Attack" (https://weakdh.org/)
- Activity log, sequence of actions we have conducted to try and fix the problem, and things we already know: #
1. Everything was fine 2. Firefox complained about the Weak Diffie-Hellman ephemeral key 3. Firefox can no longer access our server 4. But, Google Chrome CAN STILL access 5. Found out about "Weak Diffie-Hellman and the Logjam Attack" (https://weakdh.org/) 6. Tested Firefox using their website, and responded "Good News! Your browser is safe against the Logjam attack." 7. Tested Chrome using their website, and it responded that Chrome was vulnerable. 8. This explained why we could still access our server using Chrome 9. Updated Chrome to the latest version. 10. Tested Chrome using weakdh.org, and responded "Good News! Your browser is safe against the Logjam attack." 11. Tried accessing our site using Chrome, and it has the same error with Firefox. 12. Both Chrome and Firefox can no longer access the site at this point. 13. We followed the instruction located at https://weakdh.org/sysadmin.html for Apache Tomcat servers.

Firefox has to be removed from my computer every time I need to contact FreeBMD. I then have to reload Internet Exlorer before I can continue. Firefox is then re installed so I can continue with other work that is incompatable with Internet Explorer.

Any chance you an sort this and re-set to 2 weeks ago , or tweek the upgrade to allow access, pleasd:):):).

I saw posts about duplicate headers, but I haven't seen any.

In our organization we are using a firewall which has an Intrusion Prevention System. The IPS has a certificate which must be imported into the browsers to be able to load SSL websites. This allows the IPS to inspect the contents of secure packets for any malware or viruses. The problem is this isn't working very well with Firefox. Most secure sites bring up one of the following errors:
Secure Connection Failed The connection to <website> 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.
OR
Secure Connection Failed An error occurred during a connection to <website>. SSL peer rejected a handshake message for unacceptable content.
