Hello. Periodically I need to connect to my employer's VPN. Whenever I do, all of the open tabs in Firefox will not refresh or connect to new websites. This is especially troublesome for pages that refresh periodically like when viewing email. New tabs open webpages fine. I have tried using a "hard reload" (Shift while using the Reload button) on the already-open tabs as well as clearing the cache through the Settings menu. I've also tried changing the proxy settings in Network settings (Configure Proxy Access to the Internet; No proxy, Auto-detect proxy settings for this network, Use system proxy settings, Manual proxy configuration)

Any ideas on how to prevent this problem in the first place or fix it when it happens?

Thanks

After the last ESR update to Firefox I am getting this error message when logged into my Google email account. I switched to MS Edge and not having any problems.

THIS IS THE ERROR MESSAGE I GET NOW...

Hi, I'm having a lot of problems with forms, and also on commercial sites when I'm trying to purchase items. The buttons are not working, I'm unable to scroll through subsections of a form and drop down boxes are appearing behind other parts of the forms.

It's been doing this for about a month now, I was hoping that a patch would have been released by now to sort the problem. Even this form doesn't work properly. the contact me button doesn't work.

Regards Andy,

Can someone please tell me how to change the hours for my business website that comes up on a search with firefox? I have changed the hours everywhere else, my google profile, facebook, yelp. Where is firefox getting this data and how so I change it??? my website is soluna massage (location louisivlle ky). When someone searches "soluna massage" in firefox, firefox gives data that is incorrect about my business, specifically the hours. Please help! Thank you, karen 502-631-3874 karenbeggio@outlook.com

When I use firefox for the first few minutes everything works great, but after about 5 minutes the browser stops refreshing old pages and will not load new pages. If I close the browser and reopen it the same thing will happen... works for a bit and then stops. I have cleared browser history and cookies and this did not help. Any advice?

Forming paragraphs with left hand margin in block form. Whenever I type an outgoing message, the left hand margin gets chopped up. I want the margin to always be in "block" form, in the same manner as this paragraph, where the left-side margin sentence structure matches up. Right now, the computer is making the left hand margin non-existent.

I want outgoing messages to display as block form on the left side. It now ends up being chopped up with no particular margination. I have no idea where to go to choose this option.

Hi there,

I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble accessing [website name] on Firefox. Here are a few steps you can try to resolve the issue:

Clear Cache and Cookies: Sometimes, old cache and cookies can cause problems with loading websites. Go to Firefox’s menu, select "Settings," then navigate to "Privacy & Security," and under "Cookies and Site Data," click "Clear Data."

Check for Extensions: Some extensions might interfere with website functionality. Try disabling your extensions one by one to see if any of them are causing the issue. You can do this by going to the menu, selecting "Add-ons and themes," and then disabling each extension.

Update Firefox: Ensure you’re using the latest version of Firefox. Updates often include bug fixes and improvements that might resolve your issue. Check for updates by going to the menu, selecting "Help," and then "About Firefox."

Disable Hardware Acceleration: Occasionally, hardware acceleration can cause display issues. Go to the menu, select "Settings," then "General," scroll down to "Performance," and uncheck "Use recommended performance settings." You can then uncheck "Use hardware acceleration when available."

Try Safe Mode: Firefox’s Safe Mode can help determine if the problem is related to your current settings or extensions. Restart Firefox in Safe Mode by going to the menu, selecting "Help," and then "Restart with Add-ons Disabled."

Check for Known Issues: Sometimes, there are known compatibility issues or bugs with specific websites. Check the Firefox Support site or forums to see if others are experiencing similar issues with [website name].

Try a Fresh Profile: Creating a new Firefox profile can help if there are issues with your current profile. You can create a new profile by typing about: profiles in the address bar and following the instructions.

If you’ve tried all these steps and the issue persists, please provide more details about the problem you’re experiencing, such as error messages or specific parts of the site that aren’t working. This information can help further diagnose the issue. [[click here|https://beyondgroup.ae/]].

Regular UK Based Firefox user since long time. I changed my broadband provider from BT to Sky. Since then unable to connect to Internet using firefox. I was facing the issue with Firefox 128.0.3 and today I downloaded firefox 129.0 and the issue continues. When I put any URL I get a "Server not found" message. It is even there for firefox.com site

On Weddnesday evening I switched on my desktop computer and was ligging into an on line drawing classsite which would give me access to a Class on Zoom when notification of an update for Firefox appeared on the screen. I think the message was that the update would be downloaded and then the computer would do a restart. I think the download occurred but not the restart. I was then logged onto the site and clicked to join the class. I was only on about 20 minutes as Zoom kept dropping outto the zoom login screen. After this happened about 5 times I gave up and switched the computer off. On Monday I logged onto aother zoom class via the came site and againthe Zoom class kept dropping me out to the login screen although a couple of times it went back in on its own. I have contacted the Zoom Help and seemed to be typing to a badly programmed AI robot and could not get it to understand I didn't want to know about setting up my mic and camera. Please be warned I'm retired and not good with electrons and IT speak etc.
