I like using Fire Fox (FF), but I am constantly met with resistance from different organizations which try to tell me to use MS Edge, or Google Chrome. It seems like FF is a problem for them. Now, after successfully using Fire Fox for decades, I can no longer log in to my bank account when using FF. I can use any other browser, but not Fire Fox. I've spoken to the bank, and they point the finger at FF (of course), but this time (unfortunately) I have to agree with the bank. What did FF do that now makes it impossible for me to access certain web pages, or certain features, like "logging in" to accounts?

Can you please un-F whatever you F'd up? Or, please explain to me why I can do everything the exact same way I've always done things when like using Brave, Chrome, Edge, Chrome Cast, and TOR, but can no longer do them when using FF

I'm get an Access Denied for a web-site I have frequently accessed. Only Firefox on my laptop has this issue. Edge and Chrome are able to access the web site. Firefox gives me the following error:

You don't have permission to access "http://www.nfm.com/" on this server.

I have cleared my cache and data and cookies and nothing works. Able to access it from my phone's firefox browser.

Hello,

Since the latest update of Firefox (version 135.0.1) when writing an e-mail the lines keep dropping down automatically at random intervals.

The e-mail host we are using is Polaris Mail, which is through our website provider.

To make sure it wasn't an issue with polaris mail, i have logged into our emails through microsoft edge and they have worked perfectly fine.

I have attached a picture for reference.

Kind regards

Websites such as the Sites above are not working in Firefox or other Open Source Browsers. I am being forced to use Chromium in this case to complete payments and add items to the DMV Cart and complete a payment for example. I do not want to have to do this. I do not want to be forced to use a Closed Source Browser such as Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome or Apple Safari. Or, Even the Open Source version of Google Chrome Chromium. Companies like PGE are deciding to drop support for Firefox as the State not enough users use Firefox. They are forcing the market to use a Non Open Source Browser. This is a Problem. This is not good for Competition and the Internet as a whole. Not good for me as I am a Linux User. The PG&E website does not even load when using Firefox. The DMV site loads but does not allow one to complete any Payments for Example. At this time one can only view Information on the DMV website.

Hi everyone.

This could be related to the corrupted file I had that was solved here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1492585

I mean something else could have been corrupted. I've been getting the following error on a website:

> "The site at [url] has experienced a network protocol violation that cannot be repaired. > > "The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because an error in the data transmission was detected."

I thought it was a website issue. But it worked fine in Edge.

I tried the Ctrl+F5 but nothing changed (also tested the website in private browsing in both FF and Edge; still works fine in Edge).

Thanks!

Edit: I launched the factory settings profile from about:profiles (last used years ago when I moved my main profile from an older PC) as a test and the issue persists.

Hi.

I've been having this problem for a few months now with Firefox displaying the message "Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site".

It's intermittent and not related to a particular site.

Usually, if I click "Try Again", the page loads perfectly. Sometimes, a second attempt is required.

I'm having the problem with 2 of our desktop PCs (different profiles).

It got so frustrating I switched to Brave for a while. It doesn't have the same problem.

I'm just guessing here, but I've noticed that some sites (again, no particular sites, it varies) take 10s-15s to come up. Is Firefox giving up and reporting "Server not Found" while Brave keeps trying?

The computers are rebooted daily and I've tried cycling the power on our router.

No other responses to this problem have helped.

When I tried to login to My Social Security it said I do not have access to that account so I contacted Social Security for help and they determined that it was the Firefox browser and asked me to open Microsoft Edge and try to login and that worked perfectly. Why is Firefox preventing me from logging into Social Security.

Hello, I’m experiencing an issue where my website https://smartstartkids.com.ua doesn’t load at all in Firefox. When I try to open it, nothing happens or I get a message like “The connection was reset” or “Network error”.

The strange thing is that it works perfectly in Chrome and Microsoft Edge on the same devices and network.

Here’s what I’ve already tried: • Cleared Firefox cache and cookies • Created a new Firefox profile using firefox.exe -P • Disabled and fully uninstalled ESET antivirus • Turned off Windows Firewall • Reset DNS and Winsock via Command Prompt (ipconfig /flushdns, netsh winsock reset) • Checked proxy settings (set to “No proxy”) • Tried with HTTP3 disabled (network.http.http3.enabled = false) • Tried from two different PCs and networks — same result • The certificate shown is from “Sectigo”, not ESET, so it seems to be correct now

Still, Firefox is the only browser where this specific site doesn’t load. I’d appreciate any ideas or help!

Thank you!

I can not get Youtube to load on desktop Firefox. It works fine on the mobile website, app, and Chrome. I've tried clearing cookies and site data, removing extensions, resetting Firefox, and disabling hardware acceleration, and so far nothing has worked. Has this been happening to anyone else ?

I used to have an occasional sound problem with FF, usually felt when YT clips could not be heard any more. I mean to remember that it could be fixed (until next time) by restarting the file explorer somewhere in Task Manager - not a convincing solution but one I could live with.

Today, there's a new situation. Again, trigger was the missing YT sound in FF - not in fx Edge, and that the Task Manager trick didn't work (or maybe I restarted the file manager in the wrong tab?). Looking for a solution, I happened to see that the YT mute function in the FF tabs seems to be gone. However, other sounds are affected likewise. Also, I can't see them in Edge either. After various restarts (or maybe something else I did, instigated by the various instructions I found?), the sound is back.

However, while continuing to pursue possible solutions, I also happened to find that my browser is being 'administered by my organisation' - what ever that means (see two annexes). Who did that? I would say, this is not something I did, I would prefer to see it gone. But how? Will the other browsers (which I keep as a spare, and that I'm hardly familiar with) be likewise affected?

This is an equation with too many unknowns for my limited knowledge, are such effects known? Would there be an approved way-out for it?

PS I have checked https://support.mozilla.org/bm/questions/1412934 especially the message posted by lazizakhmedov1014, and do not see this to apply to me - short of a reinstall - FYI

When trying to access the Tax Withholding Estimate at IRS: https://apps.irs.gov/app/tax-withholding-estimator it will not work in Firefox. I get this message: "Application error: a client-side exception has occurred (see the browser console for more information)." I don't understand how to interpret the console messages.

I get the message after filling out the "Information about you" page and clicking NEXT. Website works without issue in Google Chrome.

Is there a setting I have clicked in Firefox that is breaking the website or is the website to blame?

Using Firefox 128.6.0esr with no extensions installed.

Chrome seamlessly harmonizes with the PowerToys FancyZones feature in Windows 11. In Chrome, I can drag a tab out of a browser window, and instantly snap it into a FancyZone. I can also quickly arrange multiple separate Chrome windows into FancyZones without issue.

Firefox's interaction with FancyZones is not good. When I drag a tab out of a window, it doesn't allow me to snap it into a FancyZone. I first need to release left click, allowing the tab's new window to appear, then I can snap that window into a FancyZone.

The biggest occurs when I have multiple Firefox windows open and snap one of them into a FancyZone. Often, one of the open Firefox windows will spontaneously shrink itself in size. When I try to manually resize the window back to normal, it shrinks further and further, until it is an invisible sliver. The only solution when this occurs is to fully restart Firefox.

It seems strange that Firefox has such poor compatibility with FancyZones, which is growing in popularity along with other productivity tools in PowerToys. Wondering if anyone else has experienced these issues, if there is any workaround, or if there is a fix being worked on.

I can no longer open my gmail in firefox. I need to open chrome to load my gmail and I never use chrome. So why can't I load gmail into my firefox account. Everything else is loaded except my gmail.

Why am I getting this message and how can I resolve the problem without switching to chrome?

I have loaded Messenger onto my new computer as well as Firefox. When I go to Messenger the Voice and Video icons at the top right are greyed and when hovering over the icons, I get a message that video calling etc is not supported. i had no trouble on my other computer but am not sure how to activate the video and voice options. Can you please help me solve this issue. Thank you
