I-Firefox Isithangami Sokwesekwa

Hi,

As the title says, Firefox throws "We can’t connect to the server at m.imdb.com." error every time I try to open a page while everything else works like Chrome, Edge and when I ping via command prompt I get replies and other applications. (Win 10 64-bit with latest Firefox)

I think it's a system-wide problem but I can't figure out where. I was under the impression that it's a DNS problem but it doesn't even open IP addresses like 192.168.1.1 and it doesn't open instantly, no matter it's Google.com or my router IP, instant error message.

I tried everything I could find which are:

• Refresh, clean re-install with deleting profile directory
• clearing cache and data
• Toggling these in about:config: network.http.http3.enabled, network.dns.disableIPv6, network.dns.disablePrefetch
• Enabling/disabling my adapter
• Running a couple commands:

   ipconfig /flushdns
   ipconfig /registerdns
   ipconfig /release
   ipconfig /renew

   netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt
   netsh winsock reset catalog
   netsh int ipv4 reset reset.log
   netsh int ipv6 reset reset.log

• Setting proxy to None
• Restarting with Troubleshoot Mode (add-ons disabled)
• Removing Firefox entry from Windows Firewall. (I haven't installed any Firewall and Anti-Virus)
• WIndows's Network Reset
• Rebooting machine and router

I'm sure there are more, these are all I can remember now.

This happened some months ago but can't seem to remember how I fixed it.

The only way it opens sites is with a VPN that sets a system proxy and setting Firefox's proxy to "Use System Proxy Settings".

Cheers

When I used to click on "new tab" on my old windows 10 computer, I could have the screen display about 3 rows of bookmarks with apps next to them . With my new computer--HP and windows 11, the "new tab" screen only displays only one row of about 8 bookmarks/apps and I can't add more. Why is that? How can I get the "new tab" to display more bookmarks/apps?

I have a subscription to a website to download music, and in the last couple of days I have been having problems with the download page.

The error message reads: Stuck? Please disable ad blocker extensions/plugins. Your browser has probably an inbuilt one too.

I have Ablkock Plus, Adblocker Ultimate and Ublock Origin insyalled on FireFox and have disabled all of them for the website in question - but all to no avail.

Suggestions please

Since the latest update of Firefox I have lost the zoom in and out buttons, the 'stick man' for street view and the options for Satellite etc. Also, if I select directions I get the detial but no indications on the map. These functions all appear to be avaialble via Microsft Edge, so i assume it must be a Firefox/Google maps interaction. Any help would be appreciated - Chris Platts

Hi,

I absolutely hate browsing forums for solutions to my problems.

I hate being forced to search FAQ's for questions that nobody asks frequently enough before being able to post something. I appreciate this is necessary to limit multiple threads about the same topic, but it's not the perfect solution.

It doesn't help if the admins of this forum fob off questions with an arrogant answer and close the thread.

I'm looking at you @dropa. Please chill. These people need to talk to each other. Don't just shove potatoes in their mouths send them packing.

I'm not trying to be abrasive, but I've seen this on other forums, it looks like bullying, and it is frustrating and, frankly, it's mean.

Thanks.

I am getting this message when attempting to log in.

An error occurred during a connection to tv.onesearch.org. Peer’s Certificate has been revoked.

After the update to 111.0 Firefox crashes. I can open it up, go to a site etc. but eventually it crashes. I deleted it and reinstalled, same problem. This has never occured prior to 111.0.

Received a communication from you regarding using the "I tool" to avoid using twitter and to enable PDFs to be completed more easily. What is the "I tool" Where can I find it and how do I use it. Thanks.

Getting this error when I try to log in to yahoo.com mail "The page isn’t redirecting properly An error occurred during a connection to mail.yahoo.com. "’ for ‘Firefox’

I use Outlook.com for primary email and Gmail as secondary email using the Firefox browser. Over the last few weeks I am no longer able to attach a PDF file to an email in either Outlook or Gmail using Firefox. I can open both my Outlook.com or Gmail in the Edge browser and can still attach a PDF file there but it doesn't work in Firefox anymore. I use Firefox as my browser for everything, so having to switch to Edge just for email only is a pain. Why am I unable to attach a PDF file to my email using Firefox as I have been for years? The error message across the top of the email says, "The following files couldn't be attached: 'File Name'. Please try again later."

How to reproduce: While private window is open, close Firefox regular window.

Issue: all existing tabs will be lost (Open previous windows and tabs is checked). Hope this got fixed soon.

Expected behavior: All tabs are kept when closing regular window with private window opened

Current workaround: In new window, restore the previous tabs from "History" > "Recently Closed Tabs"

I updated Firefox to 111.0(64-bit) this morning. My push notification from sites I allow started running through Windows notifications instead just popping up like normal. I read an article that said I could disable this feature through Windows Settings and the push notifications would start showing up like they used to. Unfortunately after I did this I stopped getting push notifications at all. Would have left it to go through Windows notification but it makes an annoying sound every time I got a notification and that got old fast. I just want push notifications back like they used to be.

I run Firefox on Windows 10.

Firefox no longer prompts when an update is available for download on Windows 11 (still seems to work on Windows 10 though). I have "Check for updates but let you choose to install them" selected in settings. On my Windows 10 machine, I always get prompted to download a new Firefox update. On Windows 11, nothing. I'd never know a new version was available if I hadn't already been prompted by Firefox on my Win 10 machine.

Outside of the OS, all the Firefox settings and addons are identical between the two machines. I do have sync on for Firefox. Notifications are turned on in Win 10 and Win 11, but Firefox isn't listed as an app in either to turn notifications off or on in Windows. Not certain why I'm notified on one computer but not the other regarding Firefox updates being available.

Issue seems to have begun with Firefox 110.

Over the years I've migrated my Firefox profile from one computer to the next, but this time, I cannot make it work. I tried copying the contents of the old profile folder from my old computer into the new profile folder, the one with name ending in 'default user', which I confirmed was the one being used by looking in 'about:profile'. That has worked for me in the past, and it seemed to have worked for other users posting in this form. However, that did not work; Firefox still opened as if it was a fresh installation with none of my bookmarks, etc. Then I compared the 2 folders and found there were over 900 files in the new folder that were not in the old folder. So I deleted everything in the new profile and pasted the contents of the old profile in so they matched exactly. It still did not work. I welcome suggestions!

I have my bookmarks alphabetized. When I click on one far down the list & then want to click on the next one the list of my bookmarks always reverts to the top of my list. Can I change this to have my bookmarks stay in the same place that I left off with instead of having to scroll all the way down again?

Since the update a few days ago, Firefox is crashing and some sites such as Trust Pilot, do not work at all on Firefox. I know it is Firefox because it works fine with Chrome. Even Google Search does not work right.

What is the problem?

Firefox 111.0.1 (64-bit) Latest update seems to have altered the way the toolbar book marks work. The bookmarks do not display, even though there is a line reserved for them at the top of the window.

I'm becoming less and less likely to customise how firefox works from the default setting, because over time I cannot be certain that these customisations will disappear or become non functional.

Why does unsubscribing from email communications not work with my Mozilla account?

I am starting to regret ever giving them my email address.

No matter how many times I unsubscribe I keep getting SPAM from Mozilla.

Nothing is selected under email communications. I never selected anything in the first place but I keep getting Tips.
