Hi there. I do have a VPN that I use daily. However I never go to a familiar website when the VPN is turned on. Familiar being Ebay or my email, Paypal or bank site or any site that I have a password at. I just do not do it. Suddenly about 3 days ago I go to EBAY and the entire sight is in Russian. I have tried clearing my history but nothing. I have tried logging on with the VPN but no luck either. I dont want to uninstall Firefox as I am afraid of losing my bookmarks. Any advice? I am able to log onto Ebay with my Microsoft Edge browser properly but not fond of that browser at all. Daryl

You can check the connection settings.

If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then try to select "No Proxy" if "Use the system proxy settings" or one of the others do not work properly.

See "Firefox connection settings":

There are other things that need attention.

The System Details list shows you have multiple Flash plugins.

  • Shockwave Flash 26.0 r0
  • Shockwave Flash 27.0 r0

You can find the installation path of all plugins on the about:plugins page.

This may be due to some unwanted virus in your browser. Reinstalling would fix it.
