Hello, Usually when i open my firefox browser after having entered my proxy in the settings, the proxy authentication comes up then i enter the authentication details to be able to access the sites through the proxy. I have not altered any settings, then all of a sudden the authentication page does not come up anymore. I have uninstalled the firefox and reinstalled, and also restored my pc to a previous date when it worked, but all to no avail. Please anyone know can help?

What's your computer system and Firefox version?

Make sure you are not blocking content.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link}

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?
