Since today my mobile android Firefox browser will not open any pages. It always shows the padlock with a red line through it. Tried most things?

Hi

Please can you check to see if you are using version 114.1.1.

(Open the Firefox for Android menu, select Settings and About Firefox at the bottom of the list.)

If not, please look for an update from the Google Play store.

Hi

Does switching between two tabs fix the problem?

Does switching to another app and then back to Firefox for Android fix the problem?

Do they have Android dark mode enabled?

I have this too. I also uninstalled and reinstalled. It lasted about 4-5 days before it went back to not opening pages and the red line across the lock. Using 114.2.0 now but I think it may have been happening in 114.1.? too.
