#42It just broke for me too! Very odd and probably the straw that broke the camels back for me. Mostly my annoyance has been odd performance issues on Linux. Brave here I come

#43I really hope the auto-update component doesn't have the same issue, otherwise Firefox is essentially dead on millions of computers owned by non-techies.
I hope i am mistaken, but the auto-updater of my own FF was blocked.
There is something about being unable to check for updates if you open the console on any site...

#45Thought it was my Internet connection as a browser wouldn't just stop working like that. Currently on Edge.

#47It is time for Mozilla to stop messing around. They are losing user trust extremely fast. A silent FireFox update that cripples the browser? No active update was done since yesterday and this morning: a broken browser.

I don’t want a VPN service, bookmark readers or other crap. I want Mozilla to defend the open web and create an open source browser. That’s it. The past few years have been a big disappointment in Mozilla leadership and (lack off) vision.
If they don't turn this around then I hope others will step up and reclaim the web!
This isn't just a rant, it's also a cry to let people explicitly support browser-only development via donations, subscriptions and show our support.

#48EDIT: FIX worked temporarily.. had to go the network.http.http3.enabled route, sorry folks
I literally just fixed this problem by installing that microsoft visual redistributable https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1326304
It just started happening to me after i updated firefox.. I installe that VC runtime, restarded, and now it works.. didn't have to disable anything in the browser.. this has been happening for at least a year, reading reddit and googling..

#50I gave up on Firefox awhile back and switched to Brave. I felt like Firefox kept getting less efficient and more bulky after many years of using it. So far happy with Brave.
