Is with using Google Chrome within Firefox.
Hi,
My partner has an issue with Google working within Firefox (FF). The problem started around 27 April 2022.
In short:
- Both gMail and Google Drive keep saying “Ooops … the system encountered a problem (#2003) - Retrying in x s…” and “Not Connected”.
- The above message may stop for a period and then gMail within FF fails to render its pages properly. Icons go missing. For example the check boxes to the left of the emails disappear while the remainder of the subject lines remains. Menu icons across the top of an open gMail document disappear (like Download, Report Spam and Delete icons ….). This seems to suggest a cache issue.
- Search within FF using Google fails also. After entering search terms and pressing ENTER, nothing happens.
Note:
- The stand-alone Google Chrome environment works fine. So gMail, Google Docs, Sheets etc work OK in the stand-alone Google Chrome app.
- Duck Duck Go search works within the FF browser.
- I have noted that if I simply log into MY Google Account under Firefox on her PC the same problem occurs.
- If we log into my PC the problem is not apparent using either of our Google Accounts. So it appears to be an issue on her PC.
I have tried :
- Flushing the cache in FF for all time, including data. Then rebooted.
- We have followed your procedures under “Help” ie Runs a Firefox a tune up; used “Diagnose issues” and “cleared the startup cache”.
- Have run Sophos AND MalwareBytes across the whole laptop. No PUPs or malware detected.
I uninstalled FF using Revo Uninstaller which initially uses the standard FF uninstall exe then it scans the drive for removes all FF files and entries within the Registry; then I re-installed the latest version of FF. Rebooted. No luck here either. I assume there is some remnant file that remains on the hard disk as some settings are retained after a new install.
Hardware: Lenovo ThinkPad , model 20QFS00B00. OS: Windows 10 Pro, vers 10.0.19044 Build 19044, 64 bit Firefox browser: is up-to-date; vers 99.0.1 (64 bit)
I can't find any recent issues related to this specific problem.
Please advise what to try next.
Of course I'm happy to provide additional info if required or work through different scenarios to isolate the issue(s).
Thanks in advance for any assistance, Steve Gee

The recent flurry of "Oops" messages seem to be related to a recently enabled performance setting called "zero round trip resumption," a feature to speed up website connections. (Explainer post by CloudFlare) If you don't find another solution here is how you can disable it:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button accepting the risk.
More info on about:config: Configuration Editor for Firefox. The moderators would like us to remind you that changes made through this back door aren't fully supported and aren't guaranteed to continue working in the future.
(2) In the search box in the page, type or paste security.tls.enable_0rtt_data and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the preference to switch the value from true to false
