EDIT: 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…

Well the problem affects firefox across all platforms so...

What worked for me was disabling HTTP3 support with the 'network.http.http3.enabled' key in about:config and then restarting Firefox. Seems like it's stuck in the 'SocketThread', repeatedly doing this: 2022-01-13 08:20:53.075936 UTC - [Parent 4106991: Socket Thread]: V/nsHttp Http3Stream::OnReadSegment count=333 state=4 [this=7f6e295623a0]

Not working for me.

I have the same issue, a different profile worked edit: Twitter feed https://twitter.com/search?q=firefox&src=typed_query&f=live There better be some hell of a post mortem edit2: `network.http.http3.enabled` in about:config to false fixed it for me.

This didn't fix it for me until I also disabled DNS over HTTPS.

Honestly it is as simple as for them to realize that people are still using firefox because they WANT to. And I believe most of these people would be glad to pay a monthly/yearly fee for a stable, secure and private experience.

I would like to come back to Firefox. But lack of focus on their core product (vertical tabs issue) and trying to woo chrome(ish) users with crappy products have turned me away long back.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Oh wow, thank you so much for this. I've been trying to troubleshoot this for hours but because my browser didn't work I never thought of checking HN to see if other people had this as well. Another score for automatic updates I guess.

As others said, this happened to all kinds of versions, not just 96.

Yes, I was using 95 and mine was broken too.

Weird data point. Firefox on my laptop borked as per this thread all of a sudden. I spent like 30 min trying to troubleshoot it and failed, then i moved to my desktop and there it was, working Firefox. I'm posting this from it.

Have they already fixed the problem and it was remote?
