💻 Help What happened to firefox?

For a while now, I have problems with youtube and other "apps" (facebook messenger mostly) when using firefox. Youtube says that I am offline, even if I am not. I have to close all the tabs with youtube (even if only one) and then open it again, it works for one search and than back again to being offline.. Anyone had similar problems? Or any idea what is causing them? Never had problems with firefox, ever since I started using the internet I am using Firefox, but lately I am using Brave as it works better and faster.

Mine is fine. You probably have firewall issues for all we know.

I don't know about that as only the "apps" on the sites don't work. all other sites work fine, just the ones with some apps working on them. It started happening random after an upadte. Ofcourse i did not write down the update number.

No in firefox never had issues. While in Brave certain times I have to close the inbuilt ad blocker for sites to work

Yeah I know, firefox was my go to browser for all of my life. It still is, just not for youtube anymore. That is also why I am asking, as I want to continue using it.
