Firefox Community Forum

Hello, I am running Firefox on a W10-Pro PC. I always click the lock to check certificate validation. In the last month I keep seeing "Connection verified by a certificate issuer that is not recognized by Mozilla".

When I click for more information I see that "Norton Web/Mail Shield" does not recognize the certificate issuer. When I click on Learn More it takes me to a Firefox site "How to disable the Enterprise Roots preference" I also checked W10 certmgr.msc and I see Norton is listed. Images included below. I would love to resolve this issue. Thank you for your time.

Hello,

I just did a full windows defender scan and it turns out Trojan:Script/Wacatac.H!ml popped up when it was done and it said the files affected were:

containerfile: C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\.default-release\cache2\entries\InsertHashHere

file: C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\.default-release\cache2\entries\InsertHashHere->(GZip)

I removed the hashes or whatever they were behind the entries, I was wondering if this was a false positive? I didn't notice any slowed down or hacked accounts, also windows defender quarantined it. I've also reinstalled Firefox and deleted all folders associated with Mozilla in AppData.

I did a windows security scan yesterday and it found a trojan in the Users\appdata\local\mozilla\firefox\profiles\c4h...\cache2\entries. Detected: Trojan:Script/wacatac.H!ml.The file is a containerfile. I tried removing it few times but it keeps coming back. This has made me feel uneasy even though I believe it to be a false positive. I've done 3 scans now and it always finds the same file. When I try to look for the file in the folder it's not there, so I can't upload it to virus total.

After many years with (up-to-date) Firefox as my browser, I have enjoyed being automatically signed in to Google. A few days ago, Google started requiring me to sign in for every new session. There is no issue with another person creating an issue. The problem seems to be Firefox will not save cookies and data. In Privacy and Security and in "Clear Data" the "cookies and site data" box is NOT checked since I do not want them deleted. The "cached web content" box IS checked because it can be deleted. When I click on "Clear" the "Clear Data" box disappears. When I open the box again, the "cookies and site data" box is again checked even though I had unchecked. The "cached web content" box is checked which is correct. There is no box labeled "save". My only choices are "cancel" or "delete". I have refreshed Firefox and deleted 3rd party apps. How can I make Firefox remember to save "cookies and data"? I do not want to have to sign in to Google every session.

I am trying to resolve an issue of not being able to receive any new emails on my Yahoo email acct. and they suggest clearing the cache on my browser which is firefox, but I am getting blocked from connecting to support.mozilla.org

I NEED FIRE FOX TO DISABLE THEIR SECURITY IN THE SEARCH BAR HTTPS OR WHATEVER IT IS BECAUSE i MADE A MISTAKE ALLOWING IT TO BE THERE WHEN I HAVE A PAID ONE I USE ONCE A YEAR SO THIS ONE I DO NOT NEED OR USE FROM MOZILLA. IN TURN, PLEASE BE NICE AND RESPECTABLE ABOUT IT AND DISABLE THE ONE YOUR USING FOR MY SAFETY AND SECURITY IN THE ADDRESS BAR.

THANK YOU I'D APPRECIATE IT BECAUSE I TRIED AND IT STILL REMAINS THERE.

I noticed Firefox listening on port 139. Is this normal? I uninstalled reinstalled and it still does it. This is on a windows 10 computer. My windows 11 computer does not show this. On further inspection the PID for the 139 port is system not Firefox.
