Problems with firefox 116 and/or cloudflare (beehaw.org)

Yesterday i upgraded ff to the current version and since today i experienced problems with a bunch of different sites. Either the cloudflare verification sends me into a loop or i get through and the site's not working correctly. Some others work, though. Disabling add-ons (noscript, ublock) and allowing all cookies didn't help. Most work with microsoft edge, but i don't know if the others worked with edge before.

Does somenone have info on that or experienced the same problem? I'm not sure is it just a coincidence or does the update cause the problems.

Edit:

I found a workaround for some. First i set the cookie block from "all cookies" to "all cross-site cookies", then i allowed via STRG+i to set cookies for the refreshed page. Then i set the cookie block back again.

I assume cloudflare changed the address for some of their cookies which got blocked by ff.

The only one still not working (so far) is suprfit.com. It's not a big shop, their software might produce their own shenanigans. I'll shoot them a mail later.

Edit2:

suprfit.com works now too. Whatever it was got fixed.

I'm stuck in Cloudflare loops as well, been a week or two. It works in "Private" windows so I'm guessing it's an addon. I think it might be either uBO, Privacy Badger, IDCAC (fork), or DecentralEyes.

It's the opposite for me, private mode causes more Cloudflare prompts (and Google captchas).

I basically can’t have anything running for privacy anymore without Google capchas triggering. It’s driving me crazy.

The fact you say "most" and not "all" suggests this isn't a FireFox problem. Also, given how popular Cloudflare is (30% of global web traffic?) I'd bet if there was something incompatible it would be fixed. Immediately.

Yes, that makes sense.

[–] dark_stang@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I haven't experienced this yet and I've been on 116 for 1-2 weeks now. Can you post some sites that you've had the issue with so I can see if I have the same problem? The only extensions I run are uBlock-origin, dark reader, and react dev tools.

[–] Hotchpotch@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Actually i don't remember all, since i followed links from other sites. Others i found a workaround. The only one i tried to make work and still can't is suprfit.com.

[–] dark_stang@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

That site is working fine for me. Maybe it's a difference in privacy settings? I'm just using standard mode's default.

[–] Hotchpotch@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

That's the site not working in microsoft edge neither. I just tried the troubleshooting mode in ff, still the same. It does work with ff on mobile though. Luckily i ordered my new kettlebell last week when it still worked, gonna take a while 'til i need a heavier one :)
