Troubleshooting Trézór Bridge® | Common Issues and Simple Fixes

Using a hardware wallet like Trezor offers top-tier security, but sometimes users face connectivity or interface issues that can be traced back to Trézór Bridge®. Whether you're setting it up for the first time or running into unexpected errors, this guide will help you troubleshoot effectively.

Issue #1: “Device not recognized” by Trezor Suite or browser.
This is often due to Bridge not running correctly. First, ensure that Bridge is installed. If it is, try restarting your browser or system. Sometimes other applications (like antivirus software) interfere with the background service. Whitelisting Bridge in your firewall or antivirus can resolve this.

Issue #2: Compatibility errors in Firefox or Chrome.
While Bridge supports most major browsers, make sure you’re using the latest version of both the browser and Bridge. Outdated versions may break communication or fail to load wallet interfaces. Always download from the official source.

Issue #3: WebUSB conflicts.
Bridge and WebUSB sometimes conflict if both are enabled. You can fix this by disabling WebUSB in your browser settings or forcing the use of Bridge through the Trezor Suite interface.

Issue #4: Installation fails or won’t run.
If you’re on Windows, make sure you’re installing as an administrator. On macOS and Linux, permissions might need to be adjusted. Also, check that you're using the correct version for your operating system.

Best Practice: Regular Updates
Bridge is actively maintained by SatoshiLabs. Make sure to check for updates periodically to benefit from new features and patches.
