My home setup is such that I use PiHole for DNS (dual PiHoles). This includes doing DNS for my local network as well as black-hole for a bunch of Ad-serving domains. To get this to work with Firefox, I've gone through all the settings to turn off DNS over HTTPS (DoH). The documentation on this is in a multitude of places, and seems to have a lot of "this setting doesn't exist anymore" pointers, but I get it working... sort of.

Every few months (maybe every time Firefox updates?) Firefox stops seeing my local network names and starts showing ALL THE ADS. I go back through and LOOK AT THE SETTINGS (which ARE still set), but after LOOKING at the settings, it starts working as expected again for another however long. This has come to the point where I've stopped bothering to open Firefox when I need to get to my own network resources. DoH is already hard enough to turn off, but having to look it up every few months to "check" the settings so it's REALLY off is very difficult.

This has been going on for at least 8 months, and I'm only bothering to mention it now because I've noticed that I'm changing my habits, Goocrosoftle is winning.

So, MAYBE I'm still missing something. Half the articles point to settings that don't exist anymore, so maybe there's one more thing that will make this actually stick. Everything leading to the search HERE on this topic talks as if Firefox is still using the local machine's DNS, and that has not been the default for quite some time. Either way just adding my "inside." domain to the localdomains setting will not fix this problem.

Since I updated my MacBook to macOS Sequoia, I have no access to local network pages (except 127.0.0.1, localhost and 192.168.0.1) - an "Unable to connect" error appears. Immediately after the first launch of Firefox, a request for local network permissions appeared, which I accepted, but it didn't help. I performed all the actions from this article, and also used the terminal command reset All approval status for org.mozilla.firefox and Firefox disappeared from the privacy settings. While a request for access to the microphone and camera reappeared after restarting the browser, no question about the local network appeared. The problem only occurs in Firefox (version 128.5.2esr) and does not appear in other browsers (checked in: Firefox Developer Edition, Firefox Nightly, Safari and Google Chrome). macOS 15.1.1 (24B91).

I received a notification that i could not connect to the internet without logging in. I tried the remedy suggested by other users (2020) and succeeded in removing this notification but still cannot access internet from my Mac computer. I have been a mozilla user for many years and have not encountered this oroblem before. All my other devices are working.

When I open Firefox it opens a maximized window with tabs, then it opens a minimized with a single tab, then it reopens a maximized window with all session tabs. Each window displays in succession, one window at a time.

I'm on desktop using Windows 11.

I just read a post saying this behavior was caused by the resist fingerprinting feature. Can someone explain how that causes the repeated opening of browser window 3 times. Is there a way to retain the anti-fingerprinting behavior w/o the multiple window opening behavior?

I like firefox...used it two to three times a week for over ten years...Now when I click on the icon on my menu, I am greeted by the ansurb: "That doesn't look right." When I try to download Firefox, it will not down load...why are you idiots doing this to your own product?

Subject: Assistance Required for Frequent Firefox Crashes on Ubuntu

Dear Developer Team,

I am facing persistent issues with Firefox crashing on my Ubuntu PC, and the problem has been ongoing for the past 40–50 days. Despite multiple attempts at troubleshooting—including uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox, clearing all caches, and other measures—the issue remains unresolved.

I’ve noticed that Firefox works for a few days after reinstallation, but then problems begin to surface, such as a half-screen display. Eventually, after restarting the PC, the browser starts crashing again.

Could you please investigate this matter urgently and provide a resolution? Additionally, I would appreciate it if you could clarify whether this might be related to a RAM issue or some other underlying cause.

Looking forward to your assistance.

Best regards, zimmi

When saving images from websites using the save image as feature, Firefox will freeze up and not register any mouse click or anything instead making a ding noise every time is register a mouse click. This will continue for like 30 seconds before it becomes normal then it will repeat this for every image. How can I solve this?

None of the above; I am a dynasaur at computers and printers. I just want to send the email I have typed on my p.c. then IF POSSIBLE I would like to print it off. Thank you.
