The new private network extension is very cool...when it works which is most of the time. I am running version 69.0.1 . The install was perfect. I turn on the extension and go to a website that checks your IP address. OMG, not only is my IP address an address provided by Cloudflare, Mozilla's partner, but I now have a Cloudflare IPv6 address. That was a surprise. My ISP, Verizon FIOS does not provide IPv6 but a Firefox extension does. I am happily surprised.
The problem is that for no apparent reason connections to any website will stop working. I see the TLS connection message in the lower right but the webpage doesn't load. The fix is to turn off this extension for a few seconds and then turn it back on. Everything will then work. This occurs about every five minutes.
How can I troubleshoot this?
Thanks.

Pages I visit on a regular basis, and have for many years, are now "disappearing" Twitter links, videos and other hyperlinks. This began in the last few days, Examples include Weasel Zippers, Twitchy, etc. When the pages first load, the entire content is there, but it vanishes very quickly, and I cannot acess what appear to be essential details in each of the stories. What is going on, please?

Firefox is my default browser but when I search it automatically changes to Bing. Today when I search, it is returning no results, just a blank page. Just tried Google Chrome - it works fine. My Firefox 'favourites' work but a new search results in the Bing blank page. Any ideas? Have checked default settings (yes for Firefox) and extensions/add-ons - only have an Iobit add-to block ads. Done a malware scan with no issues. No idea why it has changed today. Previously searches from Firefox - auto to Bing - but at least came up with some results.

when carrying out a search this white box appears that I think maybe an iframe. It cannot be removed and therefore I cannot click on any of the links in search results. I have added the Insect element to show why I think it is iframe related. This has only happened since the latest Firefox update a few weeks ago.

Firefox has been extremely laggy and slow lately. I've tried every "quick fix" I've found online, to include refreshing, sfc /scannow, disabling extensions, re-installing firefox, running malware scans, etc. This started after a cluster of windows, firefox, NVIDIA updates about a week ago, and I haven't been able to pinpoint the source of the issue. So far the only thing that brings the browser back to full speed is restarting my computer with an offline Windows Defender scan. It never actually finds anything, but when the computer restarts Firefox works at regular speed until it is locked for a couple hours or restarted. Any thoughts?

I recently had issues with my main hard drive where windows would no longer boot up so I reinstalled windows on a new hard drive and hooked up the other hard drive to the computer and can access all my files. Easiest way for me to take my firefox files from the old drive and put them in the new one so I can have all my old bookmarks and passwords etc?

I was using FF 68.0.2 and all versions before it for years and I never had a problem. After I installed version 69 I began to have these black screens! Im using 69.0.1 now and it seems a bit better, with 69 I was having more crashes. Im using h264ify addon because youtube was too unstable in 69 version and using h264 codec seems more stable. I am not completely sure this is a Firefox problem or a Windows 10 problem because microsoft has release buggy patches recently. I uninstalled last microsoft patch just in case but I still have this creashes.
Sometimes Firefox return to normal if I minimize the windows and restore it but sometimes it crashes completely.

From around 5 months ago when I download "any type of file", I sometimes get an empty dialog box except for the very top line "opening xxxxxx.xxx". i.e. there is no "You have chose to open....What should firefox do with this file, open or save file etc. " Usually this corrects itself when I try to download the file again.

Firefox is up to date. Windows 10 is up to date. Netflix video plays in all other browsers, IE 111, MS Edge, Chrome. It stopped playing in FF same time it stopped for the rest of the world about a year ago. I am tired of switching to another browser every time I go to Netflix. I have read other answers and they are all snippily saying that there is nothing wrong with FF but with settings in Windows 10. This doesn't fly because since Netflix video plays in ALL OTHER BROWSERS, this is a problem with FF not Windows 10. If FF would be so kind as to STOP being the bully in town ande conform to the same settings all other browsers use for playing Netflix video, this would be greatly appreciated. Meantime, instead of changing my Windows 10 settings to make FF happy over ALL OTHER BROWSERS, I will instead simply stop using , and convert solely to Chrome., If, in future, any of you scratch your heads and wonder why everyone fell away from FF remember these events. Goodbye.
Google Sheets - using + or * signs don't move the cursor, so previous cell address is overwritten in the formula

[Added an attachment to simplify the explanation]
Suppose that I want to write the formula A1+A2 (or A1*A2). If I click A1 and then use the '+' sign. The sign it appears right after the cursor, so the cursor it's now between the A1 and the '+' sign, and the A1 text in the formula remains -I would say- selected as if nothing was written. So whatever I write or click afterwards overwrites the A1 cell reference making it impossible to write a formula.
I'm in Win10 with Firefox v69.0, both latest versions in English with a Spanish Intl. keyboard and layout. Checked in a couple of spreadsheets including a blank one.
Things that I have already tried:
- Disabled all add-ons on all tests
- Tried doing the same on Chrome, Opera, Edge (edgeHTML), Safari and FF for Mac. Only happens in FF both Mac and Win.
- It only happens when the previous cell was introduced using the mouse or the arrow keys, not if it was written.
- Only happens when using the '+' (or '*') from the regular keyboard, not the one from the numerical keypad.
- Switched to Spanish Windows and Firefox. Doesn't work either.
- Tested old Firefox versions, including, ESR.
- Changed the keyboard layout. With some of them it works (US, UK, US_Intl, FR, PL programmers) and with others doesn't (ES, DE, IT, FI and serbian). Moreover, few of them (FR and FI) works for one sign (+ or *) but not for the other.
Any ideas? Thanks
