Can't access ReadyNAS Pro 6
Hello friends, As the title says, I have an old RNDP6000 and I can't access it. It had been turned off for a long time. I'm using Windows 11 Pro. Its readout shows it is on and displays it...
My Duo does the same thing. I managed to "workaround" this issue by installing an older version of Firefox. I happened to pick 121.0 somewhat at random. It worked. Can't guarantee it will work for you but maybe worth a try.
So I had to uninstall my current FF. I use Revo Uninstaller to get any remnants left behind by Windows (not sure it's necessary but I did). Then installed 121/Win64/en_US/firefoxsetup 121.0.exe. Again, 121 was picked at random. If it doesn't work, try an earlier version. Use a platform and language suitable for you.
Once I launched FF, I went to my Duo home page and no more issues with the menus. Of course, FF wanted to upgrade so I let it. It upgraded to 127. That also worked. Then it upgraded again to 142 and that resulted with the bad menu behavior. So somewhere in between, this issue emerges. So I uninstalled 142 and reinstalled 121. This time I did a "custom" install and unchecked the Mozilla Maintenance Service (does the auto updates). Once FF installed, I changed the default settings in General to "Check for updates but let me choose to install them). The only issue here is the "nagging" to update. However, I was able to fend off the update until I went through off the screens in my Duo. They all displayed and worked fine.
Not to keep it this way long term, but it may allow you to install the add-on, then use another browser. If that works, you can update FF.
Here's the FF page leading to the older versions.

saudade 121.0 worked, thank you. I've been able to update RAIDiator to 4.2.31.
Sorry to say I'm still experiencing strange behavior in the menus. Also I still can't see the NAS in Network, although I can access it by typing in the path.

That has always been hit or miss. One workaround is to set up a desktop shortcut that opens up the NAS shares in file explorer. Though personally I just enter \\NAS-IP-ADDRESS

The answer here might depend on your plans. Your NAS can be converted to run OS-6, which is much newer. That requires a factory reset, so you do need a full backup of your data. I also recommend upgrading the Pro 6 to run 2 GB or maybe 4 GB (2x2 GB memory sticks) prior to conversion. That is inexpensive, and easy to do.
Were you able to install the add-on? That would let you use other browsers.
