I-Firefox Community Forum

For two days I have been unable to access the internet using my default Mozilla Firefox browser. I have used Mozilla as my default browser for many years with no problems, but have had to use alternative browsers not only to access my emails on Outlook, as well as other nominal sites, but even to sign into my Mozilla account, I had to use Microsoft Edge browser. I have made no changes to my settings or internet security. Please advise. Thankyou

Hi all, trying to configure autoupdate settings for my org, as we're discovering several out of date installations.

One sticking point I'm seeing is that I see conflicting documentation on the required proxy setting for background updates to work.

This page states that the correct proxy setting is to use system settings https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/enable-background-updates-firefox-windows

Meanwhile, this page states that proxy settings must not be configured. https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/toolkit/mozapps/update/docs/BackgroundUpdates.html

Which one is authoritative?

as an aside, some of the required prefs cited in the second document don't appear in about:config on the current version. I do see app.update.background.allowUpdatesForUnelevatedInstallations and app.update.auto.migrated which I'm assuming for the moment are the correct prefs, but can that be confirmed?

I CANNOT get on to Archive of Our own, all firefox does is tell me "Secure Connection Failed" and display an error page. I have done everything, I have cleared my cache I have tried disabling security things and add ons I have tried the "about:config" thing MULTIPLE TIMES. It's only happening on my computer not on my phone PLEASE someone fix this I just want to update my fanfics I don't know why this is happening it's only been going on for about a week and it is UNBEARABLE.

Entire error message:

Secure Connection Failed
