This is realy wierd because this only happen on Windows 10 x64 pro. When I switch (dual boot) on Windows 7 Pro x64 with exact same firefox build it's working. On windows 10 pro x64 : ramdomly we can see firefox searching for result on a website (ebay for ex) indefinitly without answering anything even after like 5-7mn still searching. If I reboot windows 10 I can bronze for like 1-2mn then same thing happen. I can't even reach my Netgear Bronzer via 192.168.1.1. Network is working on windows 10 as I can remotely take controle of a 2k8r2 server on local network and bronze with firefox from that PC. I've tried many things but it realy looks like Windows 10 is blocking bronzing from firefox randomly.

Btw I'm on a simetric 1GB/s fiber pro ISP that doesnt filter or block anything. hope it'll help solving troubles.

Best Regards M.N.

Some problems occur when your Internet security program was set to trust the previous version of Firefox, but no longer recognizes your updated version as trusted. Now how to fix the problem: To allow Firefox to connect to the Internet again;

  • Make sure your Internet security software is up-to-date (i.e. you are running the latest version).
  • Remove Firefox from your program's list of trusted or recognized programs. For detailed instructions, see

Configure firewalls so that Firefox can access the Internet. {web link}

I have no internet security software at all. Only Windows integrated AV.

And it didn't happened after a Firefox update it's happening randomly then next day it's ok without Firefox updates nor Windows update.


And the exact same setup on Windows 7 pro never had such random behaviour even at very same time.

Sounds odd to ask but clarify what this means?

"Stop bronzing on windows 10 x64 while Edge still work"

What is bronzing? Sounds dumb to ask but if you want help knowing what your talking about helps to start.

The OP is possibly from a not English speaking country and means 'browsing' instead of 'bronzing'.

Does this also happen with a 32-bit Firefox version?

indeed I meant browsing not bronzing, sorry for the bad typing I'm not english and both words sounded the same so I confused them.

for the 32 bit version I dont know since I only install 64 bit version. I remember we had trouble with 64 bit when still in 5x version, memory leak etc but never had it again with any 6x version.

wierd thing is yesterday I was having trouble but today nothing. and apart from daily windows defender update for virus definition there was nothing else updating.

and if it was some kind of trouble with firewall, internet security blocking firefox I wouldn't be able to use if for about 1-2mn then no more until I reboot PC. It would simply not work at all from begining.

Most of us use translator add-ons. Your own language is fine with us.

Could be that was the problem. Wait a few days. If the problem does not return, let us know.
