I-Firefox Community Forum

I continually get error messages for webpages. I turn off my VPN, clear my history. Not sure what else I need to do. Last one was the webpage for Lindt Chocolate. Come on. Why am I getting error messages for this? I have been on this page before. There are other places also, like Macys. Getting fed up with Firefox.

Hello,

I have just setup a new desktop computer which has the latest versions of Firefox and AVG Free.

Firefox is not working properly, sometimes not completely loading pages, images or is not loading pages at all.

If I disable the AVG Web Shield Setting “Enable QUIC/HTTP3 scanning” then Firefox behaves normally.

The build of AVG Free is 26.3.10886.974 and the version of Firefox is 149.0.2.

Regards,

I've used Firefox for 20 years through the various iterations of Windows, and have been using it trouble free on Windows 11 since November 2024. Two days ago, however, When I tried to open the Guardian site (www.theguardian.com) it would open very slowly and not load and of the pictures. This gradually got worse, the site taking for ever to open at all, and always with the little dot in the tab at the top left going from side to side showing it was still loading. I have tried everything I can think of. Opened in troubleshoot mode, changed DNS settings, uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox twice (one time to see if it would work normally if I didn't actually sign in to my account). All to no avail. In fact now things are worse, in that the GOV.Uk website is now giving me similar problems - and a few other sites have become slightly slow and reluctant to open as well. My internet connection seems fine, and all these sites open without any trouble on Microsoft Edge. I am NOT very good at tech, and I am now tearing my heair out as to what I can try next.

Any help wopuld be gratefully received!

My anitvirus software is blocking a website that I use. Its legitimate. How can I unblock it?

The site chatgpt.com demands challenges.cloudflare.com to be allowed. I visited this site and allowed cookies. Then it worked. However, the chatgpt.com site froze and when I reloaded it, I had to start all over again. This time, the request for challenges.cloudflare.com remains, even though a URL attachment is reloaded every few seconds. The same thing happens on the openai.com site and several other. I'm using windows 7.1 and ESET Smart Security Premium.

Avast reports that it has secured the threat of 'addons.mysafe-search.net' which tries to start when i open Firefox. I've been unable to find any reference to the site anywhere on my PC so cannot uninstall it.

Firefox is not allowing me to reach links to medical portal websites to set up accounts saying they can't reach the site and perhaps a firewall is blocking it. I have other accounts on this same portal... HELP please.

Hello,

So, I got the "Restart to keep using Firefox message" while working to make sure that certain HIPPA protected data. I cannot close out of the browser because I am in an incognito window.

Is there a way to pause the message or can I only prevent it by disabling automatic updates?

P.S. So I work in the very sensitive part of Data Engineering e911 that deals with medical patient reports that given ONLY to the doctor at the hospital when the fire department drops you off at a Hospital. Because of extremely sensitive nature some of the specific report fields, I am not longer legally allowed (by HIPPA as old as the law is) to use browsers like chrome. So, I have to use browser like Firefox that are still in compliance. I want Firefox to update, but I want to choose when it updates (on the first weekend when there is a national fire or storm disaster happening... which technically will be this first Saturday since the update on the 15th).

I am running Windows 10 (up to date) and FF desktop version. Because of eyesight issues I run Windows 10 scaled tp 150%. As I've begun using FF I find many windows, as well as the banner, tab bar and url are very large. Therefore they take up too much screen real estate and I can't always use websites without having the last 4 or 5 lines hidden and inaccessible.

Years ago I used FF with a compact theme but these no longer seem to be available. How can I adjust the FF settings, or the Windows 10 settings for FF, so that I can both see it easily and have access to the entire length of the window? Thanks for any help and/or suggestions.
