    Mitchell Baker's interview with Computer History

Chanced upon this video – a recent interview that Mitchell gave relating to all things Mozilla, Firefox, the modern web landscape, the “way back when” history of Netscape, … and more!

Firefox Now Offers a More Private Browsing Experience

I recently kept getting this problem in Firefox:

Screen capture of error message in Firefox
Are you seeing this a lot when using Firefox / Iceweasel / etc?

If you use Firefox and have recently come across this error, fear not.  This intention of this page is to resolve these errors once and for all!

There are a few key steps to resolving it:

  1. Clear Cookies & Cache
  2. Use System Proxy
  3. Disable all Add-ons
  4. Close and restart browser
  5. Try again
