  • Firefox can't do card payments - AGAIN

    From Ar@2:250/1 to All on Tue Jul 21 13:39:58 2026
    This is the SECOND TIME this year that Firefox has had a coding fault introduced that refuses card payments for certain websites (like
    tfl.gov.uk in UK). Despite a very recent update, the fault has not been addressed - already two months since the latest screw-up started.

    When will this be looked in to?

    certain websites

    If our browsers always performed as we would like, how would we have the
    fun of figuring out a workaround for the problem :-/

    Not long ago I had to use a phone/tablet's wifi to access/use a site's function until I found a better workaround.

    What version are you using ?

    Mine is Mozilla-Official 1.0 -- 153.0b13 (64-bit)

    The site /claims/ to be very compatible:

    https://tfl.gov.uk/corporate/website-accessibility/#on-this-page-3
    Popular browsers (based on our site's usage statistics) are fully supported.

    .... but I find that I cannot navigate the site as well w/ Ffx 134 as w/
    146, and it particularly doesn't want to let a .us IP go the same places
    as a .uk one.

    For example, 134 cannot go to the 'ways to pay' page, 146 can.

    similarly I have a problem with Firefox not working with the Aldi mobile recharge page
    But "Konqueror" the blast from the past, works perfectly fine.
    I suppose- go figure

    FF's "market share" has diminished over the years, compared to Chrome/chromium, Microsoft Edge, and Apple Safari, so according to their statistics perhaps Firefox isn't popular enough.

    Mageia 10's current FF is 140.12 ESR, and from the look of it the ESR
    version should move to the 153 series soon. Perhaps they'll work better
    for you.
