Hi Dotty1000, when the site is blocked or going offline, what message do you get? There are different solutions for these different kinds of issues:

  • Cannot make a secure connection
  • Did not connect due to a security issue
  • Red warning page for phishing/malware sites
  • Other error pages

You can copy/paste the error page text into a reply to provide more context.

Also, by the way, Firefox 86.0 is no longer supported. The current version of Firefox is 92.0.1.

Hi Dotty,

For #1, you can confirm your current version of Firefox on the Troubleshooting Information page. It's also a good resource for other details about your Firefox. To open that page, either:

  • "3-bar" menu button > Help > More Troubleshooting Information
  • (menu bar) Help > More Troubleshooting Information
  • type or paste about:support in the address bar and press Enter

In the first table on the page, find the Version row. That lists your version.

For #2, try the steps in this article: Update Firefox to the latest release.

For #3, I don't know because there are many reasons you might not be able to access a site. Could you provide some of the information I requested earlier:
