Is anyone else unable to use Firefox on here?

I can connect fine with other browsers.

Clearing cookies did not help.

Thanks, I tried 2 different computers, can't access.

I should note: Firefox 133

I think it worked prior to the last update. All other sites work fine.

I just tried Firefox even though I hardly ever use it and it worked fine. Delete your cache and see if that fixes it.

This is my FF 133, 64-bit browser used by a HP P6-2350, 14-yr old computer.
You might have an add-on causing problems, disable them one at a time until you find the issue, then re-enable all but that one.

This is a cache issue. You shouldn't be seeing that page, obviously, but it's pulling from a cached version. Firefox can be really stubborn trying to clear the cache (I know, because I use FF.)

if you can't clear the cache specifically for TBN, try adding "index.php" or 'index.htm' to the end of the URL. That fixed it for me (since it tried to fetch a different file rather than the cache.)

Let me know, either way.

I am also using FF 133. I recently had problems connecting to my server and showed an IDID xxxx error. I tried both FF and Chrome. Chrome worked but I couldn't check my email. I called my server who tried many options but was of no help in the end. The cure for me was to uninstall Firefox then go to Mozilla site, download and reinstall Firefox. Then it worked fine. I'm using it now.

It is strange, I searched TBN & all the returns had - /forums in the url.

I have always used tractorbynet.com

My other browsers all had the forums at the end????

Thanks to all who responded.

Adding /forums to the end makes it all work.

I also dug out my old win 10 spare computer & had the same issue across 3 computers but Firefox syncs the bookmarks across all 3.

I cleared the cache & it works with just tractorbynet.com but automatically adds the /forums

Yes, it should also have /forums/ at the end now. But there was a very brief window of time where your browser snagged that default index file and is displaying that instead of the proper file that makes sure we redirect to the /forums/

But did that help with your Firefox access?

Yes it works fine by adding /forums to the url.

I am not sure what caused the change as it happened to all 3 computers running Firefox.

Norton browser & Brave both picked up the /forums automatically.

I have had issues in the past with the regular FireFox browser on this site and others.
This is called the Rapid Release right out of Beta testing. Most people use this and yes, there are still unresolved bugs and errors.

Then I switched over to FireFox ESR. From the time of the switch till now, no more issues anywhere.

Choose a Firefox update channel | Firefox for Enterprise Help

We currently offer two paths for Firefox updates: Rapid Release and Extended Support Release (ESR).
  • Rapid Release: receives major updates every four weeks and minor updates such as crash fixes and security fixes as needed during those four weeks.
  • Extended Support Release (ESR): receives major updates on average every 52 weeks with minor updates such as crash fixes, security fixes and policy updates as needed, but at least every four weeks.
Here is where you can get the MOST STABLE FireFox via the ESR link,
Download Firefox in English (US) and more than 90 other languages

Most businesses, financial centers, education centers, etc all use the ESR channel of the FireFox product.

''ESR versions are particular versions of Firefox that receive long-term support, meaning that they will get bug fixes and security patches for much longer than a regular release (around 42 weeks according to their website). Additionally, ESR versions have around 3 months of support from the release of the next ESR version, meaning that organizations and downstream repositories have some extra time to migrate before their browser becomes unsupported. For comparison, support for rapid release versions of Firefox is dropped as soon as the next release comes out.
