I have a ReadyNas RN214 and Firefox is no longer allowing access to the admin page. I can access it with Edge just fine but Firefox just sits there like I haven't entered anything in the address bar. Nothing is returned, no error message nuttin'. Matter of fact when I click the shortcut I've had for years the address doesn't even appear in the address bar.

What is the webadress of the admin page of that ReadyNas RN214?
If it is a http adress (no https), possibly Firefox is blocking that and Edge does not.

Possibly you could do something about that in te about:config, but I would have to figure it out.

My router that has an adress http://192.168.178.1/ does function normally with the latest version of Firefox.

That's normal (working as intended). Netgear should update that poor excuse of an app - even for 2015 let alone 2025. So hey, you either try a browser that doesn't care about modern days browser security that much or...

Type about:config in address bar, copy paste the following:

security.tls.version.enable-deprecated

- and set/toggle it to true

Might help, or maybe not - but Firefox will definitely become less secure. So again, you could just use Edge instead.
