Firefox Community Forum

There are two websites that I have been connecting to for years using Firefox in Windows 11. Recently, Firefox has not been able to connect. With one (https://www.medicare.uhc.com/aarp), I can see it trying to connect but it just never happens. Another (auth2.care360.com) gives the message "An error occurred during a connection to auth2.care360.com. PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR". Firefox is my primary browser. When I use Edge there is no issue connecting to either of these sites. I have not installed any new security software since the issues started and have always taken standard software updates.

On Windows 11, for the last two days, whenever I try to open Netflix, it says "WidevineCDM plugin has crashed". I've also tried Amazon Prime Video and Apple TVs+. It always crashes and displays the crash thing and asks me to submit report.

I also use firefox on a Linux distribution that is dualbooted on the same machine. No crashes there. I recently updated my graphic card's vBIOS and firmware(RTX 4080) using the utility provided by the manufacturer of the card. But even after updating this and rebooting, I was able to watch a couple of episodes of a show without any problems. However, the second time I tried to open Netflix after the {graphics card updates + reboot} + {1 or 2 extra reboots} the plugin has been crashing on me constantly.

I think it might be a graphics card thing or a Windows thing. The problem is, there seems to be very little information on troubleshooting anything related to Widevine. I found no information on how to delete it and re-install it. I have tried to enable Integrated graphics only in BIOS and plugged the monitor into one of the motherboard's display output(for integrated graphics). Same result.

I have submitted crash reports: https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/3d9cc9fa-7f6b-465a-9895-e2b6b0240724 https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/73835b7c-7393-47ee-94b8-d24410240724

I am sure you have had endless posts regarding this issue, but for me, it is still ongoing. Randomly and without warning, I can have pages full of funky fonts that is unreadable. Usually, closing the browser and reopening it does the trick, but when I have several important tabs opened within the session, that can be a bit of a pain in the ass especially when I reopen, all is lost. Is there something on my end I can do to keep this from occurring. In other browsers, this does not happen. Please help. Thanks. :D

I subscribe to the Boston Globe and I use a Windows 11 laptop. I get double sentences when a link is included in the sentence. I opened the Boston Globe in Google Chrome, and it does not happen there. How can I fix this?

I have a custom font installed on my PC (Karla), after every reboot of my PC Firefox is set back to default fonts and Karla no longer shows in the list, it will show back up and automatically set itself to Karla once I re-install the font.

layout.css.font-visibility is set to 3 privacy.resistFingerprinting set to false

Is there any solution to this?

I am repeatedly kicked out by YouTube, because I seem to have one or more ad blockers active. My problem is that I even don't know where to find them, so that I can deactivate them. I have tried earlier to find a solution, but to no avail. Apparently there are more people having this problem.

I am now forced to watch YouTube on Edge, which feels like treason, because I am a Firefox user for many years.

In case you would have a solution, please don't bombard me with geek talk. I am an IT layman.

I use an Acer lptop with Windows 11

Since "Flash Player" has been discontinued by Adobe since 2020 - and by force since 2021 - what is the solution? Yesterday, it told me I had 20 "tabs" open in Task Manager - but I clearly had less than 10.

The problem here is... my fan gets loud because of this - and that is very frustrating at night. Watching a video, and then hearing a storm brewing, right in your ear.

I've attempted Fan Control software, but it's way too complicated for my capabilities. It seems to do barely anything, unless you have a specific set of hardware - and a certain amount of know-how.

Ps. I am referring to the thread, created 6 years ago, here on the forum. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1223023

I want to continue to use Firefox as usual , but this is not possible because of the continued message about the "wrong address" related to the URL . I have changed nothing , and i dont understand . PLease will you fix it .

I run Firefox on two windows machines, with identical settings and extensions - I regularly sync across them, and have all my passwords saved to a local file, just in case. Recently, one machine (the only one with Win11) has begun disconnecting me from Mozilla every time I close Firefox, and wiping the saved passwords. I have to sign in to Mozilla and import all the passwords every time i reopen Firefox. I have tried all the refresh, reinstall options and nothing seems to fix it. Any ideas what's going on and how to fix?

I have used Firefox since it was Netscape, with an ad blocker if one was available. With version 128 I am seeing many, many, many ads where I used to see almost none. I have blocked popups but that's not as much help as you'd hope. I cannot find anythng like AdBlock+ or U Block. Are these no longer available? No longer recommended? I can tell you that they are sure still needed. Thanks.

Cannot print Firefox web pages (using Microsoft Print to PDF) or hard copy (with Brother printer) at my account on this computer. Goggle Chrome and MS Edge print web pages normally. Other accounts on this computer can print Firefox and other browser web pages normally. 'Have uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox at my account but no fix. Problem started about 2 months ago at my account on this computer (running Win11 Pro). 'Have consulted Microsoft "Help" but their tech/"bot" said it is a 3rd party (ie. Mozilla/Firefox) issue and not solvable by Mictosoft.

Using MS Print to PDF, only a blank PDF page is printed. The Brother printer never even starts when selecting it as the printer.

Kroger web site will not open with fire fox but will open with google chrome. It is my survey site http: not https. I have this setting under privacy and settings. HTTPS-Only Mode ( don't enable HTTPS -only mode -checked) HTTPS provides a secure, encrypted connection between Firefox and the websites you visit. Most websites support HTTPS, and if HTTPS-Only Mode is enabled, then Firefox will upgrade all connections to HTTPS. Learn more Enable HTTPS-Only Mode in all windows Enable HTTPS-Only Mode in private windows only Don’t enable HTTPS-Only Mode ( I use win 11. )

If I open multiple Linkedin pages quickly (like when I open a bunch of job postings), most of the time 50-75% of the pages don't load at all or just stuck loading for ever.

I've completely uninstalled Firefox and deleted everything Mozilla related from my Windows 11 PC (including from AppData) but it doesn't help.

The issue persists on all my PC's and doesn't change if I try another DNS provider. I've tried changing a lot of the security settings but none seem to have an effect.

Edge and Brave work completely fine but I'd prefer to keep using Firefox. Any suggestions?

The time it takes from power ON to loading my homepage (Google News) is now 11 minutes. What can I do to shorten. I've enabled Fox to load homepage on start-up. But it was slow before anyway. My Firefox version is 128.02 My O.P. is Windows 11

Hi,

I have used Firefox for a long time. I have many bookmarks, passwords etc on Firefox on my original PC.

Sadly the hard drive on my original PC has failed. I borrowed a laptop temporarily and signed into Firefox on that. My bookmarks did not transfer across and instead I had someone elses bookmarks but I wasn't too concerned as I was only borrowing the laptop.

I now have a new PC. I have restored my files from a backup external drive and I have signed into Firefox on this PC. However, all of my tabs and bookmarks have not come across. I have pressed sync but it has brought the bookmarks over from the laptop and not the bookmarks from my original PC.

How can I sync to the original PC that has all my bookmarks etc please? Or have I lost it all forever?

Thank you.

So only on my FIre Fox, a window would pop-up (a window that looked like it was via the operating system) that was asking me for my NordVPN Username and Password. When I would push the "cancel" button, it would just keep popping up over and over, not letting me do anything else. So I would have to switch to a different browser, whereby that would not happen. Is this something that happens with FireFox?

I uninstalled Firefox and only use another browser now, but it is not happening anymore.

I was the victim of a ransomware attack, I knew who did it, but the police did nothing. I suspect those same persons are still trying to keep tabs on me to see if I am still trying to take some kind of action against them. I don't want to sound paranoid, but these people, who are known to me, destroyed my legal practice, so it is worthy to be paranoid.

Anyone know anything about these types of things?
