Sometimes I’ll be browsing Firefox and things go wrong seemingly at random - all pages load indefinitely or show a screen indicating failure to load. This can be fixed by running pkill firefox and then starting a new instance. A look at Dev Tools shows that all requests fail and a message NS_BINDING_ABORTED is shown. I have looked up “firefox NS_BINDING_ABORTED” but none of the results 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 provided any solution.
Does anyone here know more about this issue?
Firefox version information:
Firefox Borwser 126.0
Mozilla Firefox for Arch LInux
archlinux - 1.0
This failure essentially means there’s an issue at either the DNS or TLS layers. I’d start looking at TLS, namely trusted root certs and OpenSSL.
