Firefox Community Forum

messages pop up, 3 at a time, showing from Mozilla Firefox: - system alert click okp4 ......, 3 viruses, click to remove etc etc see attached screen shot. Is this legit? I doubt it. How to stop them popping up?

My nice big Search bar just below your logo is useless? When I highlight it, the curser blinks inside it, but when I start typing my search info it automatically types it into the small address bar on top?? I much rather use the SEARCH BAR!!!! I was able to before. Whqat's goingon??

Hi, out of nowhere my Firefox has stopped loading any pages for the past hour. I have read the existing community articles and cleared all of my history, cache, cookies, and restarted my computer 4 times. Firefox is up to date and was working fine up until I left my computer and returned to it an hour ago. I haven't downloaded anything new or clicked anything weird, I was just listening to a regular podcast this morning. All websites either show up as left-aligned text with no images, or are completely blank. This includes Gmail, Tumblr, Youtube, EyeBuyDirect, etc. All of these sites load perfectly in Edge so the issue is specific to Firefox. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Edit to Update: I turned off my AdBlock extensions one by one to narrow down the issue. The problem was AdBlocker Ultimate. I disabled it and now all my websites in Firefox are working as normal.

When I try to edit & crop in Google Photos, I get the image artifacts as you can see in the image with lines and the image doesn't correct itself so it's impossible to edit well. If I save the image after all the lines are added, then reload it will show but then I have to start the crop over again to get both sides.

This works fine in Google Chrome, so there is some issue with the Firefox browser on my laptop. graphics: Intel Iris Xe Graphics 1920x1080 x 8bit 60.05 Hz refresh rate

What could be causing an issue on Firefox but not Chrome?

I’m encountering a persistent issue while browsing certain websites in Firefox where I consistently receive a 'Secure Connection Failed' error message. This issue disrupts my browsing experience and I’m keen to understand how I can troubleshoot and resolve this error effectively.

I’ve already checked my internet connection and confirmed that other browsers do not encounter the same issue. Additionally, I’ve ensured that my system’s date and time settings are accurate. Despite these steps, the problem persists specifically within Firefox.

Could someone please provide detailed steps or insights on how to diagnose and fix the 'Secure Connection Failed' error? I’m particularly interested in understanding how Firefox handles SSL/TLS connections and any specific settings or configurations within Firefox that could affect this error.

Your assistance in resolving this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

After several years doing online business with my local bank, I just started getting this message whenever I tried to log into my account at the bank with Firefox 129.0.2 in Windows 11 on this HP ENVY Laptop 17:

“Access Denied You are unauthorized to access this resource. Reference ID is: f0575ab8a6. Troubleshooting Steps. 1. Reload the home page and try again. 2. Clear your browser cache and try again. 3. Try logging in with a different browser. 4. Try logging in with a different device.”

My initial questions to a customer service rep at the bank were not fruitful. Following their advise, I tried reloading the bank’s login site. Still denied. I cleared the Firefox cache. No good. I was able to login successfully with another Windows computer, a desktop running Win 10, also using Firefox 129.0.2. I can also log into the bank on this laptop using both Google Chrome and MS Edge browsers. A strange wrinkle: I can log into my account with this Firefox-Computer if I use a Private Browsing Tab.

Please help me fix whatever I must have done so I can continue to use Firefox here.

I am having trouble pinning any Extensions to my toolbar. When i click on the Extensions icon (puzzle piece), the Extensions menu immediately pops up. My extension (Bitwarden) is set to "Enabled". When I click on the three horizontal dots, however, the only options are 1) Remove, 2) Report, or 3) Manage. There's no option given to pin the extension.

Because of that, the extension basically never opens, and I am unable to use it. Does anyone have any suggestions for me? Thanks in advance.

I am running Firefox 129.0.2 (64-bit) in Windows 11 on a Surface tablet. FWIW, the extension is running fine in Chrome.

When I start PiP on Youtube via the keyboard shortcut 'command+option+shift+]', the miniplayer becomes focused, such that pressing 'control+tab' only cycles through options in the miniplayer, rather than switching tabs. It seems to me that the fix would be to force the focus back to the main window either automatically, or if control is held while pressing tab.

Tell me what I have to do to gain access. I have gained access to my SS account in the past. So I was puzzled by this "Bad Request" response from Firefox. - Norman Griffiths 8/22/2024

I recently deleted accounts and passwords that were stored in Firefox under my web browser account. Is there anyway I can get that data restored? I have access to the same email/account in Firefox, but need to restore the deleted website account/credential data.

After updating with Mozilla 129.02 yesterday my platform freezes completely after about 30 secs. I cannot even get the Task manager to work. I have to switch it off at the mains and hope the switch back on is not too harmful. ( 'Update' is fast becoming one of the most scariest words in the English language)

Hi there,

I'm new here so please bear with me if I've posted in the wrong place or have missed something obvious.

I running Windows 10, fully updated, on a laptop. I have been using Firefox browser now for many years, suits my needs and avoid's using Goolges Chrome. My Firefox was updated a in the last few days and it shows as up to date on Version 129.0.1 64bit.

I noticed late last night that when opening a fresh window and enter a search term in either the address bar or the Google search bar, my usual choice of search engine, I hit return and nothing happens. Any text I've input disappears totally. Not at all sure what's going on but have found that if I open a new private window Firefow will act as I'd expect without any issues.

I have two other browsers on my laptop, Edge and also Avast's own offering which both work as expected when I enter a search term. Have never experienced this before with the exception of years ago when malware protection wasn't great. It almost seems as though something is just stopping Firefox from searching anything I enter. I can use the bookmarks just fine and then everything works as usual.

Yesterday I thought that maybe following the new windows culmulative updates I was offered and apparently installed just fine, that I needed to restart which a tried and I thought it had cured the issue. Seems that it hasn't and still having the same issue.

Any idea's or thought's on what the cause of this is?
