Since yesterday's update I am having new Firefox problems. It now blocks access to content on certain websites, which I have been using for over a decade...
I always perferred Ff to all other browers, because it does have some great advantages. But this...

Is there a "safe" older version that can be used? And then block ALL Mozilla pop ups?
I have basically tried ALL other browsers and they all have big disadvantages when compared to Ff.

What is the solution ? What do you suggest?

Thank you

Hello:

Short answer: No, going back to an older version is neither better nor safer. To the contrary.

We need more information in order to better assist you.

For example:

1) What is/are the websites where you have experienced this?

2) Please post the EXACT WORDING OR ATTACH A SCREENSHOT OF THE MESSAGE

3) Have you checked the URL of these websites at an online site such as virustotal?

4) What version of Firefox?

5) What Firefox extensions, add-ons and security applications are you running?

Thank you

What websites?

As I wrote, websites that I have been using for more than a decade, which worked every day, until the day when 115.12 was installed.. AND it does open the websites of some TV stations, but when I want see the stream I am told that this is not safea according to Mozilla standards.

So I want to see if others also have that problem, and if not, then it is my Win7 config..

@ThomasMann:

We would like very much to help you.
But we are not in front of your computer.

Please tell us the EXACT WEBSITES (as both Dan & I requested).
And please answer as best you can the other questions I asked.

Without that information, there's not much we can do.

PS If you are on Windows 7 (perhaps running an old, unsupported version of Firefox), that may at least partially explain your problem. Without more info, however, it is only a guess.

Thanks
