Integrated google form in website won't open on macs but works on PCs. Error message "forms.gle refused to connect." - google-forms

I made a website and put a google form in it. It works flawlessly on pcs, but not on Macs or iphones for some reason. Depending on the browser it will not appear at all, or show the error message "forms.gle refused to connect." Please let me know what I should do to fix this. Thanks!

I had the same issue and it was because I used the short link for the embed. Changing to the full link fixed it for me.

Chrome waiting for available sockets, Firefox is fine

We have a Wordpress based website (rendeljkinait.hu), and we face freezing issues while editing articles when using Chrome. When I hit the save button for the 7th time without page reload, the article editor freezes during save and I get "waiting for available socket" error in Chrome. No matter how long I wait, the editor won't save until I reload the page. When I'm using Firefox, everything is fine, no matter how much I hit the save button. Current Wordpress version is 5.2.3, but error occured in former versions too.
I investigated the error, and found it is caused because Chrome never closes the open sockets until I reload the page. So until hitting the button 6 times everything is fine, since Chrome and other modern browsers allow to have maximum 6 paralell connection to a single host. But after I press the button for the 7th time, there is no space for another connection, so Chrome is waiting for the older connections to get closed, but it never happens.
Here's a screenshot from net log
Using Firefox I observed that it always closes the connection after the save is successful, so only 1 connection is active all the time, it never exceeds the 6 paralell connection limit. I attached Chrome netlog file here, you can view it here. I also attached a video showing Firefox closing the connection here (107.6.*.** is our servers IP).
For various reasons we have to use Chrome, so I would like to find a solution for this problem, but I'm completely stuck. Does anyone have a suggestion what could cause the problem and how to solve it?
Thanks in advance!
I have the same problems with chrome and gutenberg.
It is impossible to do any heavy editing on the site, so I use firefox for all admin related stuff.
Haven't found a solution either...
For anyone who might find this topic with similar problem: seems like it was a Wordpress bug, a Wordpress update solved the issue.

Facebook's in-app-browser returns the error "net::ERR_FAILED", but no other browser

The Facebook in-app-browser returns the error "net::ERR_FAILED". What could be the reason for this?
The website was made a long time ago for me and my brother and it has worked fine until recently. Suddenly we couldn't open in Facebook in-app-browser anymore. I've tried to look for error but none are printed (neither in PHP nor JS console). The website works great on all other browsers. I've even tried using Ghostlab (hosting on local PC and visit the website via this URL on the in-app-browser), and by doing that it works.
I except the page to be loaded. Right now nothing is loaded and I'm left without any logs.
The issue was resolved after the update that came a few days later. But I never figured out the issue. Let's hope it doesn't happen again.

Chrome give error **Failed to load resource: net::ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED** while other browser load images

When I open my site in Google Chrome, it gives the error failed to load resource in the console. My images are not showing in Chrome but are fine on other browsers. How can I fix this issue?
I had the same issue. I'm working on Windows 8.1 system and had the problem with almost every page in Google Chrome, IE 11 and Firefox.
This is what worked for me. Run CMD as administrator and execute the following commands:
ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /renew
ipconfig /registerdns
I did not have to restart my PC, but everything worked again and all pages on the internet were avalible again.
As a quick test to see if that's your problem, start Chrome in incognito mode with extensions disabled (ctrl+shift+n) and see if your page works now. Note that by default all extensions will be already disabled in incognito mode unless you've specifically set them to run (via chrome://extensions). please refer to this
I've spent weeks fighting with this problem on 2 different unrelated computers, even unable to ping Yahoo.com and having variety of connectivity issues in web browsers, including "DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN" and "ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED". I've tried various ipconfig commands, restarting DNS client service, "netsh winsock reset", and other solutions found on the internet.
Finally I realized the only common thing on both my computers was Malwarebytes. After closing/exiting Malwarebytes the problem was solved. I am now able to ping and access every website. The solution, again, at least in my case: close Malwarebytes
I just contacted Malwarebytes support but in the meantime wanted to provide this possible solution here.
You might have to check your internet connection. Many a time, the data can't be fetched due to bad or no internet. Or open the site in incognito mode and check whether that works or not. If you are using any blocker extensions, disable and check again.
You can do that via (chrome://extensions).
This can be caused if the URL supplied is wrong, this was my case.

Server Error in '/' Application (only in Firefox)

I have a bit of a brain teaser. I am getting the attached server error when I load ANY page on my website. However, this ONLY happens in Firefox. Any other browser loads the page just fine. I have cleared my cache and have completely uninstalled and re-installed FireFox to no avail. Any idea why a server error would only show up in certain browsers? This is a windows based machine running IIS. I'm totally stumped. Thanks!
It's hard to see the exception type because the text is so small on you resized image.
Have you tried monitoring the request using Fiddler, or launching FF Dev tools (CTRL+SHIFT+I from FireFox)? Is there anything in that output that could reveal a clue?

Strangest IE9 bug ever (turn off internet, screw up page rendering)

I've got a local webserver (apache) running on my laptop and it is serving up a content management system successfully. Everything looks okay in both IE9 and Firefox.
Today I tried to demo it to someone and the elements were completely misaligned, looked terible in IE9. Still looked okay in Firefox. Tried to figure out what was wrong, even restored an earlier known good build and still messed up. There was no wireless connection at that site and no wired connection either.
I'm back at my place now to diagnose the issue, and there is no issue! By process of elimination, I deduced the ONLY difference between then and now is that now I am on the internet. Bear in mind, I am NOT retrieving anything from the internet for this site. (Not that I am aware.)
I switched off my wireless connection and immediatly my pages started rendering in screwed up fashion again. These pages have tons of framework generated divs and CSS classes so it is not clear where the breakdown occurs... but here is my fundamental question:
What could IE9 be doing that simply shutting off my internet connection would cause it to stop rendering a locally served page properly?
Use a network analysis tool like Wireshark to capture the packets that Internet Explorer send (or tries to send) out. You probably will find something there.
There are two things I can think of:
You are retrieving some parts from the internet, even though you are not aware of it. Maybe some JavaScript code loads something, or you have url() values in your CSS.
It might have something to do with the compatibility view of the IE.
You could try to use a network sniffer to find out, what the request is.
instead of going all the way to WireShark why don't you try the built-in developer tools?
Press F12, select the Network tab and start capturing traffic right from IE9. It will show you everything it requests for.
