On MacBook Air, the wifi connection is strong but Firefox keeps disconnecting it in the middle of use even though I have 4 bars of connection. I then need to disconnect wi-fi, wait a second and then reconnect the wi-fi, take a breath and click on the link for the site I was ALREADY using. Happens constantly to the point I use my PC for internet as much as possible. And NO it's not a router issue because PC doesn't have this issue with the wi-fi.

Start Firefox using Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode {web link}

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


Start your Computer in safe mode with network support. Then start Firefox. Try Secure websites. Is the problem still there?

As a test, disable your protection programs.

Have you tried just reloading that page?
