LibreWolf Browser Does Not Connect to Google!

LibreWolf Browser Does Not Connect to Google
I installed librewolf, the browser does not connect to any Google service.
It only connects when you disable security in the privacy settings: Query OCSP responder servers to confirm the current validity of certificates
And there is no place to open an exception and connect to Google services with security enabled in the box: Query OCSP responder servers to confirm the current validity of certificates
Can someone help me connect to YouTube and Google services?
Thanks

What addon's are you running?
And QSI please.
I have no issue connecting to google voice, gmail, google drive or youtube when I am in a stock librewolf (mx package installer - enabled repos )

Again, mine works fine and my Query OSCP is checked. Everything is default and I have no additional addons. ( only ublock Origin)
Save your data. Close Librewolf. remove the configuration and then try it again.
And is this librewolf installed from MX Package Installer or from some place else?

I have consulted several topics with the same thing, it tells me to disable security to connect to Google.
With security enabled, it does not connect to Google services.
How do I reset the browser, or do I install it again from the mx Linux store, the normal repository
Thank you

In your home folder there is a .librewolf folder ( ~/.librewolf ) Save everything from that folder, just in case and then remove it.
If you installed librewolf from some other location, then uninstall it, clear cache and then install from mx package installer (search for librewolf, change to the enabled repos tab, check it and then install )
Depending upon where you installed it from, you should be able to
If you are running a VPN, this too can cause google services not to connect. But, I have four or five people that use gmail and get to both youtube and gmail with no issue using librewolf.

I just tested the latest Librewolf appimage
https://gitlab.com/librewolf-community/ ... -/releases
If you
Right-click > Properties... > Permissions > Allow this file to run as a program & then run it you can check to see if it connects to Google / YouTube. It works for me. Also worth a shot to double-check that your date & time are accurate.

on Wildflower MX-21.3 Librewolf 136.0-2
I have Browser Privacy set to Strict.
Noted
You’re using Resist Fingerprinting (RFP), which replaces some of LibreWolf’s fingerprinting protection settings. This might cause some sites to break.
I also have 6 extensions beside uBlock.
My Certificates box is checked
No trouble with youtube, most of the time I use freetube.
Otherwise I stay away from Google.

I installed the librewolf browser again with new settings.
and the problem persists, Google services are blocked.
it only works with security disabled, Google services do not work with security enabled.
I have tried everything, Google services do not work.
everything worked perfectly in Firefox, I am thinking of going back to Firefox.
There is a Mullvad browser, I will test it, it is open source

Close LibreWolf. Open your file manager and delete ~/.librewolf and ~/.cache/librewolf, then restart LibreWolf.
Any extensions installed will have to be reinstalled.

Yes, I did all the options, the Google site is blocked. I looked for documents and they said that by default, Google sites are blocked with the box checked: Security: Query OCSP responder servers to confirm the current validity of certificates
Tomorrow I will test it, and I will also test Mullvad and let you know

Does anyone using Librewolf want to see the security printout turned on with the browser open from YouTube or Google
It's not working on my computer, I restart the internet many times, the browser was designed to block Google with security turned on, I read their documents.
With security turned off, Google opens perfectly, but the browser is at risk of security due to the certificate being disabled, I think.
I'm not experienced in the browser area, I'm a beginner, but I have good knowledge to configure it.

The librewolf browser is NOT designed to block it. The "documents" your reading are not correct. As I stated, as well as others, we are having no issues with this.
Are you in a VPN ?
Have you created / tried with to connect with a new profile?
Have you properly removed all .librewolf and .cache ? before reinstalling from MX package installer?
( Load Stacer, remove librewolf, and remove ALL application and other caches with stacer... then reboot and reinstall librewolf )

Yes, Charles, I deleted Librewolf and deleted the files in the folder you mentioned, everything was fine.
I restarted the Linux MX distro and installed Librewolf in the repositories from the Linux MX store.
I opened the Google website and YouTube doesn't access the sites. I've tried everything and it doesn't work.
It could even be a problem with my internet connection, but I don't think so. Firefox works perfectly with Google websites and YouTube by default.
test it in the Charles browser and let me know with the print, thanks

This "it works for me" / "it doesn't work for me" back and forth isn't helping anyone. It is not sufficient to say it "doesn't work", and it does not help to say "it does". Based on the information we have so far, I'm assuming the error is a security warning, able to be enabled and disabled by checking or unchecking the OCSP option under Security > Certificates.
So why are we not
actually checking the certificates? I can load Google on an old install of LibreWolf. OK... so it works for me, too.
But why?
I can check the TLS certificate Google uses to encrypt the connection to
www.google.com. It's signed by Google Trust Services.
I can click "View Certificates" in LibreWolf's Certificates settings and confirm that the Google Trust Services that issued
www.google.com cert shows up as a valid Certificate Authority. So far, so good.
I can also inspect the Authority Info of the
www.google.com cert, and I see that the OCSP endpoint is
http://o.pki.goog/wr2 and there's a .crt file I can fetch at
http://i.pki.goog/wr2.crt. OK. I can do an DNS lookup on o.pki.goog, an ANY record is best to use here, and I see that that URL has a CNAME redirection to pki-goog.l.google.com. Another ANY query for pki-goog.l.google.com and it resolves to an IP address. OK, so what does that mean?
It means that I can get to Google in LibreWolf only because each step of the certificate validation process that LibreWolf follows doesn't fail.
Walk through the process. Pinpoint where the process fails.

Good morning,
LibreWolf has all the certificates verified. With the default installation, Google sites and Google services have their certificates blocked, warning that it is unsafe and not opening the sites.
On my computer, LibreWolf did not work; I installed it and it was ready for use, but it opened Google, YouTube, and Gmail, and then it stopped working.
I joined the LibreWolf community and also researched the topic. They advised to disable security. Try to change certificate settings under the "Privacy & Security" tab or disable "Force OCSP hard-fail" under LibreWolf settings.
I am switching to Firefox or testing Mullvad.
The only solution was to disable the security to make Google sites work. The community informed about LibreWolf; you can look it up. I will mark the topic as resolved, but the problem lies with the developer; they shouldn't block Google sites by default. Beginner users access Gmail and search for tutorials on YouTube to learn. In any case, I appreciate it. Thank you."
Thank you for the responses.
I apologize for the inconvenience and for any questions.
Thank you very much.

I installed Mullvad the community recommended, uninstalled Librewolf.
Librewolf did not work on my computer, Google and Youtube websites are disabled by standard in installing Librewolf browser.
I installed the Mullvad OpenSource, it is working perfectly Google and Youtube, Encryptographed Dns included.
I found the Mullvad browser more secure.
My problem was solved in the 100% Mullvad browser

But my problem was solved with Mulvad browser I found the browser and 100% functional.
Librewolf for laymen's users will not be able to change browser, to use Youtube emails from Gmail, will need to turn off the security to access Google sites, as the community warned on Reddit.
Any way I thank Charles, I will use Mulvad he has items from the Tor browser, DNS Encryptographed by default
I found Mulvad safer.
thanks

That's not true. I already mentioned that I can use those sites without any changes to my settings. I've been using LW since version 94.

There was ONE response by someone to your question on reddit that suggested trying to turn off Force OCSP hard-fail. This is NOT librewolf support, nor has anyone else chimed in.
In searching I found A LOT of sites that discussed issues - more of which were when using a VPN (which you never replied to my question of IF you were using a VPN )

On my computer it didn't work, it can be for others the Google and YouTube site works.
I searched the community I sent the prints on the forum, the community talking to disable security the prints above.
I am not developer, I just posted on my computer did not work, and really does not work Google and Youtube on Librewolf, the last update posted.
I can even use librewolf as a standard but without google sites.
I'm using Mullvad I'm enjoying

I am not using VPN, just the ordinary internet to surf Charles.
On my computer I really don't work Google and Youtube on Librewolf, only security turned on.
I'm not here to create confusion, just to solve the problem presented, I can really use Librewolf.
I'm still testing browsers, now installed Mullvad
