Hei!


I have used firefox.localhost to test my html page containing some JavaScript.

Now suddenly (it has worked nicely many times) it claims that there is not connection:

I also tried the "BlueFox" (developer version) and the response was exactly the same.

Firefox was just yesterday updated. OS is Windows 11.

Here the response text:

" Unable to connect

Firefox can’t connect to the server at firefox1.localhost What can you do about it?

   The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
   If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer’s network connection.
   If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the web

Dear Mozilla VPN Team, I hope you're doing well.

I'm writing to ask whether Mozilla could offer a discounted subscription or a customized plan to accommodate my financial circumstances.

I'm an English language teacher based in the Middle East, where severe internet restrictions and filtering make a reliable VPN essential to my work. Of all the services I've tried, Mozilla VPN is the only one that has consistently provided the reliable connection I need to teach my students without frequent disconnections.

My work involves interactive online classes, streaming educational materials, and sharing learning resources, so I estimate that I need approximately 150 GB of bandwidth per month.

Unfortunately, my monthly income is only around $100, and $3 per month is the absolute maximum I can currently afford for a VPN subscription without compromising my basic living expenses.

I genuinely value Mozilla's commitment to privacy and an open internet. I'm willing to upgrade to a regular subscription and pay the standard price as soon as my financial situation improves. For now, however, reliable VPN access is essential to my ability to teach, earn a living, and improve my circumstances.

I'd be extremely grateful if you could consider my situation and let me know whether any hardship discounts, educational pricing, financial assistance programs, or alternative subscription options might be available.

Thank you for your time and consideration, and for your continued work toward making the internet more accessible and private.

Warm regards, Amir

Please help! Suddenly I can't attach anything to my emails on Thunderbird. Click on Attach, and try all the other methods to attach something, and absolutely nothing happens! Have been using Thinderbird for decades and this is a first. Have gone into Settings, Composition, Attachments and the option Check for Missing Attachments is ticked. Is there another Setting somewhere that could be stopping me from attaching anything? Thank you for your time

I am having constant problems for months now with Thunderbird freezing and message not responding. It appears to happen mostly when trying to empty deleted folder in block like 20 or more. If I deleted in blocks of four all is ok. As soon as I try to delete a larger amount at once it freezes and displays the message Thunderbird Not Responding. I have followed u tube videos to the letter to attempt repair with no success any ideas please?

Firefox Desktop Version 157 TLS key logging warning — Norton 360 Standard is suspected, but HTTPS scanning tests did not resolve it and so I need help with identifying the root casues and sepcifc steps to eliminate this warning

My system • Windows 11 on a Dell laptop. • Firefox Version 157, my default browser. • Norton 360 Standard. • Two Firefox profiles; the warning appears in both. • Firefox … (funda kabanzi)

My system • Windows 11 on a Dell laptop. • Firefox Version 157, my default browser. • Norton 360 Standard. • Two Firefox profiles; the warning appears in both. • Firefox Troubleshooting Mode does not eliminate the warning https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/sslkeylogfile-warning?utm_source=chatgpt.com


What I have observed The warning appears on Firefox network-error pages, including when the internet is disconnected or I enter an incorrect URL. A particularly reproducible example occurs after I successfully log in to Kotak Net Banking and select Help → Raise a Query. Firefox then displays a connection/privacy warning associated with the embedded page. I do not see the same behaviour in Chrome or Firefox Private Browsing when performing the equivalent Kotak steps. Troubleshooting already completed 1. Norton Safe Web HTTPS scanning was disabled and re-enabled without resolving the issue. 2. QUIC/HTTP3 scanning, WebSocket Protocol Scanning and DNS/DoH scanning were individually tested without resolving it. 3. Firefox Enterprise Policies are inactive. 4. I found no SSLKEYLOGFILE entry in either Windows User Variables or System Variables. 5. Norton and Dell malware scans found no malware. 6. The warning also occurs when I connect through a mobile phone hotspot rather than my usual BSNL connection. Questions for Mozilla's technical contributors 1. Does this warning establish that Firefox detects SSLKEYLOGFILE, or could another mechanism produce the same message? 2. Can the variable be inherited by Firefox from a parent process or injected into its running process even when it is absent from the Windows User and System Variables? 3. What is the safest way to identify which process or security product is setting it on Windows 11? 4. Is there a known interaction between Firefox 157 and Norton 360 Standard that could explain this behaviour? 5. What evidence should I collect to distinguish a Norton issue from a Firefox issue without disabling security protections or modifying Windows settings? I am not looking to disable security features indiscriminately. I want to identify the actual cause and, if Norton is responsible, determine the precise setting that needs attention. I would particularly appreciate a response from a contributor with Windows networking, Firefox TLS or security-software diagnostic experience. Thank you.

Currently, using web browsers on Android TV is a frustrating experience. Most available TV browsers lack proper extension support (such as uBlock Origin), leaving users exposed to aggressive ads, trackers, and intrusive pop-ups on a 10-foot interface.

Additionally, standard TV browsers struggle with long-form video playback. Without the ability to route video streams to external native players (like ExoPlayer or Just Player), users miss out on Automatic Refresh Rate and Resolution Matching. This results in persistent video judder/stuttering issues due to mismatched display frame rates (e.g., playing 24fps content on a 60Hz fixed TV lock).

Hello, I hope you are doing well.

I have asked a number of questions since starting with Thunderbird for Windows 11 a few months ago.

Is there a user manual somewhere? If not, it appears many of us would need one.

Please let us know where to find it or, if there isn't one yet, please create it.

Thank you in advance!

AS SOMEONE WHO'S DISABLED, IT'S INCREDIBLY DISTRACTING AND NOT HAVING ANY THEME PREMADE TO GET RID OF IT IS MAKING IT HARD TO USE FIREFOX. I WILL HAVE TO SWITCH TO ANOTHER BROWSER UNTIL IT IS FIXED.

Hello, I am having an issue that Emails which are displayed in the reading area disapper for appr. 2 minutes. Afterwards they appear again. I have not been able to find out if this is a problem in Thunderbird, or if another application is causing this. I have read an article that Avast Antivirus is temporarily locking folders during scan. Maybe someone has had the same topic and can give me a hint where to search for the root cause. Thank you.
