  • 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?

    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
