Hi I have a problem opening some pages with new certs. When I try to open them I get this message SEC_ERROR_CERT_NOT_IN_NAME_SPACE In LibreWolf v.115.0.2-2 it works, asks for cert approval and opens without a problem.

I was reading https://embracethered.com/blog/posts/2024/m365-copilot-prompt-injection-tool-invocation-and-data-exfil-using-ascii-smuggling/ and hovered over the hxxtp://wuzzi[.]net link.

I noticed that the status bar on firefox shows the same text as the on-page text. It doesn't render the unicode url in full. I tried finding a bug describing this, but couldn't find one.

Hello! Thank you for taking the time to read my issue report and request for assistance.

My system MacBook Pro v 9,2 (late 2012) MAC OS 10.12.6 (Sierra) FF v 115.14.0esr (64-bit) DSL with 250m/bit connection

Until the day before yesterday the Youtube "Watch Later" page was running and performing normally. Since yesterday the YT WL page takes several minutes to load.

I cleared the FF browser cache, deleted cookies, updated the browser, shutdown the computer, restarted the computer, but the hang problem persists.  I searched the internet for reports of server side issues at YT, but found nothing relevant.

I reported the issue in detail to YT, but have not heard back - I'm also not sure the help request to YT even made it out of my computer as the help request form did not provide the normal "Request Sent" confirmation.

Back on FF and attempting again to load the page: after about a minute FF reports that the YT page is slowing down the browser and requests that the page be "stopped" Eventually, the Watch Later page loads but is EXTREMELY lethargic, taking several minutes to load a selection.  When the selection is loaded it presents at 360p.  Changing to 720p or 1080p only locks the playback.  The 360p playback hangs on a frame and audio runs on alone.  Clicking the playback stop button takes several seconds up to minutes to process to stop the playback request.

Checking other browsers on my machine: Chrome and Opera run the YT WL page normally with fast loads and HD playback. I'm including a screen shot of the FF browser on the YT WL page after. It took several minutes for the page to load as seen in the screen shot, but on selecting a video it hangs until FF generates a stop request as seen at the top of the browser window in the attached image.

There have been no changes to the computer or installations of new software of any kind except for updating FF which obviously did not in and of itself solve the issue. The issue presented the same before and after the FF version update.

Thank you in advance for any guidance or suggestions on solving the issue.

Hello, When I tried to use ChatGPT on Firefox, It showed only white blank page. I can't type or do anything to ChatGPT. But in Chrome it works fine. I tried to reset Firefox but still be the same. Does anyone know how to fix this? It happened yesterday.

Hi,

I'm encountering a problem with my contracting service website; it’s not loading properly across Mozilla Firefox. The site is essential for my local contracting and renovation business, so this issue is impacting my operations.

I've already cleared the cache and verified the server status, but the issue continues. I’d greatly appreciate any advice or suggestions on what might be causing this problem.

Thank you in advance!

I just got a new PC, installed firefox logged in, set new password (email was the same as used before - checked through previous emails). None of my passwords were in my new PC browser.

I tried to manually sync from the PC end and from the IOS phone end. No Luck. Saw a post saying that reinstalling app on phone then syncing from there worked for them. Uninstalled - Reinstalled - Now I have lost all my passwords saved on my Iphone. Absolute nightmare. I had had dozens of saved passwords that I will never remember. Please help.

Thank you!

Sometimes (except when I'm demonstrating the problem of course) a Google search simply hangs. In the search field (next to the shield & lock) the website for the search appears, eg https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=how+secure+are+android+phones or https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=nsw+service+parking+meter+app there is no other response and no activity in bottom left corner of the window.

Simply clearing history (history, cookies, cached files, but not site settings) fixes the problem and the search can then be repeated and new searches done until the next time, when it's a case of rinse & repeat. No other action is required, which would seem to suggest that the problem isn't elsewhere.

This problem affects both my wife's and my PC (same configs), and has for several weeks, sorry can't be more precise as to when it started.

Thanks, Mike

Why can't I get to my e-mail or bank website on Firefox without jumping through a bunch of hoops? I don't have this problem on Chrome. Do I need to switch browsers?

Every time I try to click on Firefox is says "Hmmm. We're having trouble finding that site" We cannot connect to the server at mail.google.com" or "We cannot connect to the server at news.yahoo.com"...any site I try to connect to from Firefox gives same message.

But I can get in to Chrome and Safari and all other applications with no problem.

I use Mozilla Firefox for work. Part of my work requires I use the GlobalProtect VPN client. When I log on to the VPN, everything appears to be fine. The problem arises when I log out of the VPN client, such as needing to switch to a different VPN.

When I log out of the VPN client, Mozilla slows down massively. I get the following errors when trying to access websites.

PR_END_OF_FILE Timeout

I thought it was a DNS issue, but the change I made previously did not prove to be a reliable fix, and I do not actually know the root cause of what is happening. Firefox returns to normal ONLY after a full computer restart. At this point I am considering switching browsers as, despite Firefox's functionality, it is starting to interfere with my work.

I have used other VPNs, such as Fortigate VPN, and not encountered anything like this.

Any advice or guidance would be appreciated.

Firefox is labeling *.CSV downloads as "Firefox HTML Document."

I don't see *.CSV files in the "Applications" list for file handling.

The mime-type on the download is set server-side to "text/csv".

Server code (ASP.NET/VB):

With Response

   .ClearContent()
   .Clear()
   .Headers.Add("Content-Type", "text/csv")
   .Headers.Add("Content-Disposition", $"attachment; filename=""{TempFileName}""")
   .Headers.Add("Content-Length", My.Computer.FileSystem.GetFileInfo(TempFileFullPath).Length)
   .TransmitFile(TempFileFullPath)
   .Flush()
   .Close()

End With

I don't know how GoDaddy got onto my computer but I know that it came through Firefox. I'm 89-years-old and not great with computer technology. Does anyone know how to get GoDaddy off my computer? Will it disappear if I unsubscribe to Firefox? Please help. Thanks.

I just started getting this error:

Secure Connection Failed An error occurred during a connection to www.newsmax.com.

I cannot find how to make this stop. I will get emails from Newsmax about articles and if there is something I want to read I click on the link in the email. I never had a problem with Firefox not opening the link. This just started and I can not get the link to open. I have Newsmax set up as a home setting. However, after I got the Secure Connection Failed error, I could not open the Newsmax web page even if I typed in www.newsmax.com. I am about to uninstall Firefox and use another browser. Can you please tell me how to fix this?

I used to be able to download an .ics file directly from a Gmail email, then click on it in the download folder shown on the top menu bar to import it. It would automatically open my Google calendar and import the event. NOT NOW! I got rid of everything Outlook, only want Firefox and Google. What do I need to use, to get my .ics files to work properly again? In the screenshot, you can see I associated it with Firefox because I did not know which app to use that is NOT OUTLOOK!! Thanks, Lynda

Since some days Firefox stops working. My query appears in the field but when I click on Enter nothing happens. I have tried to repair, to delete the cookies, to desintall, nothing helps. I therefore keep Firefox only for some websites (my favorites as mail). I do all other researches on another navigator. Do you at least have an explanation ?

I had to reset my pc as it wasn't performing properly . I am using windows 11. When the reset was finished a new windows version installed itself on my pc . I now have 2 windows 11 installations on my pc - an old windows 11 and a new windows 11 . My desktop and documents , etc , pulled through into the new windows 11 installation , but my Thunderbird did not . I never backed up my Thunderbird as I presumed that with the pc reset , it would automatically pull Thunderbird into the new windows after the reset. I then reinstalled Thunderbird onto the new windows , but it did not pull through my Thunderbird data from the old windows installation.

Please could you assist in helping me to retrieve all of my Thunderbird Data from the old windows installation into the new windows installation.

When I click on the print icon of an email (on MacBook Pro, Mac OS 14.6.1), it gets stuck on the message "preparing document". Any suggestion on how to solve this?'

For languages that don't put spaces between words there's a Unicode character zero-width space - ​ aka ​ - that a browser is supposed to use as a cue to break a line. Firefox ignores it.
