What "everything" have you tried? I've tested and it works in Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, and of course Google Chrome.

Are you talking about the web site, or an add-on? I use three add-ons because sometimes one will not work properly.

Congratulations! It works for you. That's not helpful at all. This is what I get when I do the final click on the rutracker selection: "This page was not retrieved from its original location over a secure connection.Dismiss". I am not very technical obviously. What does this mean? Does it have to do with an add on or the website itself. If someone uses three different add ons. Which ones and when do you use each one? Your reply is more confusing than helpful. I very happy for you that it or they or the website works for you!

This is what I get when I click on the rutracker selection: "This page was not retrieved from its original location over a secure connection.Dismiss". I am not technically oriented so I have no idea what this means. How do I know if the Website or an add-on is not working? When I click on the "shield", there is no option to do anything! I am very happy you also seem to have solved the problem! Any suggestions? I like firefox, but there seems to be a little war going on between Google Chrome and Firefox! Who cares about the user!?

Please calm down. I understand your frustration but there's no need to be rude.


Can you try to start Firefox in Safe Mode to see if Firefox works properly with no error? You can start Firefox in Safe Mode below:

  • Windows/Mac: Go to Help > Restart with add-ons disabled
  • Linux: Run firefox -safe-mode in the Terminal/Konsole

If Firefox opens up fine with no problems, it's probably one of your extensions that's causing the issue. You can re-enable your add-ons one by one until you find the one that causes the issue upon being re-enabled.

I'm sorry if I misunderstand you. This https://translate.google.com/ is what works for me.

As to the war between Google Chrome and Firefox, that's why I tested it in three different browsers before posting my original answer.

Some scenarios give the the impression of being forced towards Google Chrome, but for this one it will work in Firefox just as well.

This didn't change anything. I still get the following: "This page was not retrieved from its original location over a secure connection.Dismiss". So I will try to do the other suggestion. Thanks anyway, JIm

I cannot figure out how to upload an image! I saved my screen shot to Word, and I clicked browse and opened the file. And then I get, "no image selected". I have three extensions/add-ons that are disabled in safe mode. How do I enable these one at a time to determine if one of them is the problem! Is that an applicable procedure? By the way, what am I taking a screen shot of? Any other ideas?

I found the screen shot instructions. I go to "paint", but what do I take a screen shot of?

Hello,

Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache. Note: This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to. To clear cache and cookies do the following:

  1. Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
  2. Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
  3. Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
  4. From the details list, check Cache and Cookies and uncheck everything else.
  5. Now click the Clear now button.

Further information can be found in the Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox article.

Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!

Thank you.

I was able to do exactly what you suggested, but I still get the same message: "This page was not retrieved from its original location over a secure connection.Dismiss". I have been using google translate for over three years without a problem and now...
