Pandora tries to start, but it bounces from artist to artist without playing. Never had this happen before. Pandora suggests there is an overzealous ad blocker at work. Can you help?

I've been looking at firewall logs for my client and router software firewalls. My 3rd party firewall flags repeated outgoing TCP packets to IP 34.149.100.209 as coming from Firefox and 'Restricted', although restricted is the firewall apps syntax. When I look at the router firewall on WAN it was seeing the same IP outgoing. These packets only originate when Firefox (latest version) opens. Perhaps there's nothing to worry about or it's there to poll for those who want to select a Google search engine? Anyway, I've added a rule in the router to block the IP, although I think Google use other IPs.

There is plenty of web discussion to REMOVE restricted from Firefox but I want to make sure 'Restricted' in my case means BLOCKED, is that possible or do I misunderstand what restricted means? Thanks

Why the focus on the search bar on the homepage and new tab automatically shifts to URL bar? I hate this. I cannot find any option to change this. Vivaldi gives us an option to decide what we want unlike Firefox.

Chrome focuses on the search bar on the new tab regardless, duckduckgo browser does same, edge does same, opera does same, Brave does same and Vivaldi does same but gives us option in the settings as in the image below. But Firefox automatically forces it. Why? Looks so cheap.

How to change this? I dont want this. I cannot see what I am typing when it shifts to smaller bar on the URL bar from the search bar.

And most importantly, I cannot change the new tab or homepage with any other search engine, like Duckduckgo or Ecosia or Brave Search, if I had any search engine addon from addon store. Chrome has no such BS show. If I am using Google, then new tab and homepage is of Google. But if I use any search, I have to suffer with underdeveloped same old FF new tab and homepage. Is this intentional or forced?

Edge is opening randomly, might be going back until this is user controlled.

Hello!

For a while now I've had an issue browsing with Google using Firefox. As stated in the subject line, Google would cut off parts of my search if certain symbols are used within it.

For example: "1+1" becomes "1 1" "R&B" becomes "R" "#100" sends me back to google main page "number #100" becomes "number"

There might be other symbols that cause issues, but these are the three I keep running into. I tested another browser and this issue doesn't happen in it, meaning it must be an issue with Firefox.

I have already tried clearing cookies and cache, and it did not resolve the problem.

I would appreciate help with this!

Hi, unwanted site opens every first start of mozilla after PC has been reloaded.

the site is: „www.url-advertisement.org”

I've scaned with malwarebytes, did a refresh of mozilla browser

I got the following message while trying to access this website https://nubecomun.yanapak.org/ The connection has timed out:

The server at nubecomun.yanapak.org is taking too long to respond.

   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.

How can I allow Firefox to access the site?

I am trying to connect with my utility provider online. When I try to log in, I give my name and password. It comes up with a CAPTCHA screen. I click on the items but I just keep getting another screen. After a dozen screens it says CAPTCHA will time out in 2 minutes.

Does anyone have any ideas what could be blocking it?

This is the message I receive when I try to sign in to my Adobe account online:

Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site.

We can’t connect to the server at auth.services.adobe.com.

If you entered the right address, you can:

   Try again later
   Check your network connection
   Check that Firefox has permission to access the web (you might be connected but behind a firewall)

How do I check that Firefox has permission to access this page? Or, what else do I need to do to sign in to my account?

Thank you!

Since your last upgrade, I have been able to get into any sites using CloudFlare security. Prior to that I had no problems at all. I have tried closing extensions and or clearing cookies. I especially want access to my banking account. How can I disable whatever was added to effect CloudFlare? CloudFlare either continues to cycle, or gives an error message.

On some websites, such as scratch.mit.edu, the fonts have been displaying as Burbank Big (a font i recently downloaded) instead of the regular font. This happens on other websites that don't use Helvetica Niue as well, so i'm stumped. I checked the styles panel in inspector and it showed the correct names, but when i hovered my cursor over it, it showed a preview of Burbank Big instead. What do i do to fix this?

How to get rid of ImportEnterpriseRoots, so I can control my own computer & update Firefox? (Update options are not shown under Settings- General tab any longer for me due to the message showing "Your browser is being managed by your organization"--ImportEnterpriseRoots"? I am the only user on my computer & definitively not part of an "Organization". I found some help online that was way too technical for me. Thanks!

Firefox is locked by this:"Your browser is being managed by your organization." I have No Organisation. I am a private user! How do I unlock it? as nothing seems work!
