Android Severe page loading issues on Google, X, Facebook, and Cloudflare verification sites (Last 3 days)

Dear Firefox Engineering and Support Team,I am writing to report a critical browsing issue that started occurring about 3 days ago. This issue severely impacts page loading on major platforms and makes browsing nearly impossible.

1. My Device Environment:OS: Android 12Affected Versions: Firefox Beta (Primary), Firefox Nightly, and Firefox Stable (All are updated to the latest versions).

2. Detailed Description of the Issues:Google.com: When searching for keywords, the browser frequently encounters a "Page failed to load" / "Unable to connect" error. If the search page manages to load, switching to the "Images" tab instantly triggers the page load error again.

Social Media: The exact same page loading failure happens frequently when trying to access x.com (Twitter) and facebook.com.

Cloudflare Captcha Verification: On websites requiring Cloudflare verification via Google search clicks, the browser immediately crashes or kicks me out of the page right after clicking. I have to attempt accessing the link repeatedly (several times) to finally get through.

Desktop Mode Trigger: On all tested Firefox versions, forcing the view from "Mobile mode" to "Desktop mode" immediately and consistently triggers the page loading error. 3. Troubleshooting Steps I Have Already Taken (with NO success):

Cleared all browser cookies and cache.

Completely uninstalled and re-installed all Firefox versions (Stable, Beta, Nightly).

Removed all extensions and tested on a completely fresh, vanilla installation with zero add-ons installed, but the bugs still persist.

Since this issue happens across all Firefox release channels (Stable/Beta/Nightly) even on fresh installations, I suspect it might be related to network stack rendering, user-agent handling, or an incompatibility introduced in a very recent upstream update affecting Android 12.

I would highly appreciate your investigation and guidance on how to resolve this.

Thank you for your time and continuous dedication to improving Firefox.

Best regards, M_Ng

bold text I have just installed Mozilla VPN but it doesn't seem to be running in the background properly. How can I verify that it is running? And how can I restart it if it isn't running? I have a Mac.

Here's the message I get 'intermittently when I open Firefox, which is my default browser:

Fix "The bookmarks and history system will not be functional" error message

The "fix it" page doesn't suggest any possible security program obstacles. Can you help me find the culprit?

VPN has disconnected for NO REASON. This is a paid up year subscription. It has happened before. Just last month. I am running it on a windows 11 platform and use Firefox as my browser and Duck duck go as my search engine.

VPN isn't working. I'm in Italy for a week, but live in the US and want to sign up for NordVPN in the US today. But, NordVPN wants to charge me Italian tax, and must therefore know my location.

How do I show that I'm in the US?

Okay, 2 of my financial accounts are not available when using Mozilla VPN. What I get is an internet error message like this: "" Access Denied: You don't have permission to access "http://raymondjames.com/" on this server.

Do you know the technical reasons for this? And can you recommend anything I can do about it? Yes, this is the latest Mozilla VPN and Firefox 151.0.2 versions on my older Win 10 desktop.

Every other day or so VPN attempts to connect to my chosen location and just freezes. Cannot connect, tries to verify connection, and then just hangs. I can't close it, even with Task Manager. I have to reboot my computer (win 10) and that takes 4 minutes and 40 seconds - I timed it. It makes me not want to use the VPN. I have tried asking VPN for recommended sites and even after trying them it still won't connect.

Very Frustrating. Not worth paying for if I can't connect.

Thanks . . . Alan

Also frustrating that I cannot contact support directly but must use this forum. The "make contact " box in the app will not work either.

The Thunderbird calendar, displayed by the week, Saturday June 27-Friday July 3, 2026 in my computer says today is Monday, Jun 28, whereas it is really Jun 29. Each day in the calendar is off by 1 day. e.g. tomorrow it says Tuesday Jun 29, etc. If I change the view to Multiweek, the dates and days of the week line up as 2 June 29s for Monday and Tuesday!. Wednesday becomes June 30 and Thursday skips July 1 and is July 2! What to do to correct all of these problems? Thanks, [edited email from public]

My mobile phone contract has run out of its monthly data allowance. It appears from the usage page on the Pixel that on one day 5.6 GB were used through the Firefox app, orders of magnitude more than my normal usage.

1. How can I find out which ?tab used the data stream? 2, How can I prevent a re-occurance?

Thank you

there's damn near always problems, pages display funny, dont load, the browser has its own " loading circle" temp files/cache is still a problem? do you guys know its 2025 and browsers still cant handle temp files? mozilla has ZERO help. no wonder everyone uses chrome. but they suck a$$ too.

I use Firefox to watch several of my live news programs on their web sites. Recently I am finding that the volume control does not allow access to actual control (it is on or off choices) without going to full screen. And tried a couple on edge. In fact, the first below will NOT LOAD in Firefox. https://www.mysuncoast.com/livestream/ https://www.fox13news.com/live So far skynews.com/watch-live has still let me balance the sound levels. What is going on? Is this a choice of the providers to not allow control? A recent change in YOUR end? I really hate to have to drop Firefox and go to Edge for my live news broadcasts, but this is what you are forcing on me..... Scott Hepburn [email removed]@verizon.net

We need to disable the VPN functionality in Firefox for macOS in our environment using a configuration profile deployed via our Jamf Pro VPN. I have done internet searches and found suggestions to use either a custom upload or external application configuration profile payload to disable the VPN functionality but have not been able to find a configuration that works.

Can you advise
