Firefox Community Forum

Whenever I load Firefox, for the first minute or so, or the first X attempts at loading (any) website, I just get "Can't connect to server" errors. Eventually it does connect and then has no more issues, unless I close the browser and open a new one, then the process begins again.

New Alienware laptop with a fresh windows 11 install.

Other browsers are working fine, this is isolated to this browser, on this device only.

Things I have tried:

All the suggestions in the connectivity help section Uninstalling Firefox > Deleting my profile data from laptop > Cleaning registry > Deleting anything else that searching for "mozilla" turned up > Clean install without logging into any profile or enabling sync or importing anything (somehow still knows there was a previous install though, just doesn't import anything)

Still the same results.

I've used Firefox for probably a decade now and I am truly loathed to have to move to Chrome, but if I can't find a solution this is just untenable. Any help would be much appreciated!

Hi all -- I have to admit that I am pretty frustrated after Firefox instituted the change to how shortcuts on the homepage operate a year or two ago. They used to be so reliable. Now frequently accessed websites are often missing or there's one row instead of two (despite being set to two obviously).

This is such a basic and important feature. It would be nice if things returned to working flawlessly.

my previous password for Firefox did not work. I then changed it. Firefox did not allow that one either. Changed it again and that wasn't allowed either.

Help

For a while now (over a year), after using Firefox for YEARS, I am having LOTS of trouble logging into my Online Citibank. I am using 64bit version of Firefox. I go to citi.com and put my Id and Pw in, then signin. I see the page loading, with Citi webpage boxes showing Just as Shadow/Boxes for a moment or two, then I get a You Successfully Logged out!! Try again. Same. I believe that I have Sometimes gotten something about Logged Off for Inactivity. If I am able to QUICKLY Click on one of the Shadowed Boxes, I get ON my Citi webpage and am able to do my banking, without further problems. I have Cleared my Cache and Other suggested (from reading problems from other users) fixes, but NOT fixes. I do NOT have this problem on ANY OTHER websites! So, some conflict with Firefox and Citibank. I WAS able to login, with NO problems with Microsoft Edge. Didn't try Chrome.

On my opening Firefox page there is a header " Your browser is being managed by your organisation". I am an individual and have no organisation. I am having problems with Ancestry which they have directed back to my browser. This is this last thing (I think) that I do not understand. Any ideas most welcome please.

Firefox keeps crashing on me, to the point it is almost unusable. It's about 50-50 whether a tab crashes or the whole program does, but it happens multiple times while trying to do anything online. It happens with nearly every website I visit (Netflix, The Guardian, Google, Duck Duck Go, etc.) For example, it crashed a half a dozen times trying to ask this question.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox, but the frequency of crashes has only increased since then.

I am running Ubuntu Studio.

Following the advice at this page (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-crashes-closing-or-quitting#w_get-help-fixing-this-crash) I tried restarting in Troubleshooting mode, and it still crashed. The next step was to post a question here with a list of crash ID numbers, which are below.

Any ideas are appreciated!
