In Settings → Privacy & Security → History → Settings..., I have enabled the automatic clearing of "Site settings" when Firefox closes. However, the clearing of all site settings causes the clearing of all my HTTPS certificate error exceptions (Settings → Privacy & Security → Certificates → View Certificates... → Servers). Is there a way to make some exceptions for the clearing of site settings? I would like the site settings of a few websites to be preserved, while deleting the site settings of all other sites.

Hello those wiser than me, When my Firefox 110 goes inactive by clicking elsewhere, the only change is that selected elements temporarily de-select and the scrollbar thumb turns color to one almost the same as the track, making it nearly invisible. Is there any way to keep it the same (much darker grey) when it is not the active window with the focus? There are a few themes that don't exhibit this behavior, but I could not find a dark one. My search on the subject yields only webpage design talk or obsolete pre v78 add-ons.

I'm on Linux Mint 20.3 Cinnamon with FF's built-in dark system theme. Thanks in advance.

When DNS over HTTPS is not enabled in Firefox and I set network.dnsCacheExpiration to 600 seconds, evidence from about:networking#dns shows that the minimum DNS cache expiration time is indeed 600 seconds. However, when I enable DNS over HTTPS and set network.dnsCacheExpiration to 600 seconds, the network.dnsCacheExpiration setting seems to be ignored. New DNS cache entries are able to have far less than 600 seconds to expiry. Why is network.dnsCacheExpiration ignored when DNS over HTTPS is enabled? Could this be a bug in Firefox?

I am using Firefox on Ubuntu 18.04 (current release 111.0, but the problem has occured over the last two releases). I like to open the individual page from a Youtube playlist so that if I get distracted, I won't lose my place. I do this either when disconnected from the internet or using the "work offline" feature. Previously firefox would show either "Problem loading page" or "Serve not found," but now it keeps trying to load youtube which sucks up time, cpu, and memory.

These are pages that I have never been to before so there should be no record in history, but even so I have tried clearing my history and this did not help. I have tried a bunch of other sites, but Youtube is the only site that I have seen this behavior on. Attached is an example (The google page and the first youtube tab were loaded online). The shown youtube tab (second tab) and a random webpage from google (last tab) show this behavior.

Could you please help me.

So I have this extremely annoying issue. Almost every time I open Firefox on my system, all of my add-ons get disabled. There is no pattern to when it will happen either. Sometimes I can open it 2 or three time without a problem, other times its every single time, and to top it off all of my saved logins randomly disappear too, as well as some of the settings (namely search bar settings). A simple closing and reopening of Firefox restores the login info, but not the settings. I’ve tried making a new profile, didn’t work. Tired uninstalling Firefox and starting clean, still didn’t work. I’ve checked all my settings, and tried deleting the extensions data in the Mozilla folder. Nothing seams to work, and I don’t have a clue why this keeps happening. I’ve been using Firefox since it was still in beta, and have never had this kind of problem before. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I am a consultant and I have, typically, about 2-3 clients ongoing at any one time. These clients, inevitably, each assign me a Microsoft 365 userid. I also have my own personal Microsoft 365 userid.

Unfortunately, given Microsoft's fairly aggressive attempts to "capture" my attention, it has "remembered" each and every one of these accounts, and it sort of tries to log me in all the time with the wrong account into different clients' Office 365 online platforms. So I sometimes find myself sending external mails from the wrong accounts etc. It really is a mess, because then certain O365 "policies" from one account, prevent another account from logging in, for example, creating what I suspect is an almighty spaghetti bunfight of clashing Microsoft properties in my browser.

So I thought I'd assign each client their own container, and using the multi-account container addin, I though this would segregate the accounts, by setting it up automatically to open my different client O365 bookmarks in different colour-coded containers.

Unfortunately this not seem to keep Microsoft in check. It seems to be able to "see" other MS logins across containers, because a few hours ago I experienced a situation where in Client A's container, Microsoft decided that I should be logged out and logged back in with Client B, for some unknown reason, probably because I had logged in as Client B in another container tab. But this doesn't seem to happen all the time. I can't pin down exactly when it happens. Microsoft is basically able to see across my containers, it appears.

Is there any way to keep each Microsoft account where it belongs, namely strictly inside the container tab I have assigned each to? Facebook style? With a nice high unclimbable fence?

When I put something in the search box it comes back with a Google Search 'hit' page and it always has enormous text, an enormous font. I can't get rid of it. It started after one day I couldn't read a tiny text on a page so i googled for help and got some keystrokes for increasing font size. i forget what they were but they worked fine. But now I can't get rid of it. On all other pages, yes, no problem. I found keypresses that are supposed to get rid of large font: ctrl-z, ctrl-y, different ones different places say, I"ve tried them all, but can't get rid of the big font on the first page of a google hit. I am using firefox of course. On a linux mint machine.

Description: I tried going through a Unicode list Unicode list and the extensive set of characters displayed correctly. However, when reaching further into character sets as shown in the failure page page, many are missing which are not new.

  • "Repair encoding. . ." button was not active.
  • An encoding switch extension was not able to resolve the issue.
  • Troubleshooting mode did not show changes.
  • Switched fronts available such as Noto Sans and Roboto Sans without success. Possibly a font failure?

TL;DR: I ended up with 2FA disabled and recovery key enabled

Hello people !

I'm currently testing Firefox Account features such bookmark syncing and its login security (not password storage/sync). Unfortunately I'm having big trouble authenticating myself to the service right now.

I have 2 testing accounts with the following configuration :

  1. I've setup 2FA authentication.
  2. I did not set a secondary email.
  3. I did not set an account recovery key.

Here are some of the tests I'm doing :

  1. I start by doing several login/logout to check if 2FA is working as expected.
  2. Then I add a secondary email then make it primary then remove the previous primary email.
  3. Then again login/logout several times to check if 2FA is working as expected.

At some point I'm unable to login after some iterations of step 3) above.

  1. At first I get an error saying my 2FA code is incorrect. But it allows me to login successfully using one of my 2FA backup.
  2. Then again I logout/login several times to check if 2FA is working as it should be.
  3. Then at some point I get the same error again saying my 2FA code is incorrect. Trying several unused 2FA backup fails with error saying they're also incorrect.
  4. Then it finally says that I've tried too many time and suggests I should retry 15mins later.
  5. When I try to login after some time it then ask me for an authorization code sent to my email. But then it says every authorization code I try is also incorrect.
  6. I managed to disable 2FA from on one of the account I was still logged in Firefox. But when trying to login on another Firefox profile then I get the same error saying I tried too many times.

Just for clarification - Please note that I may have use one or two 2FA codes instead of authorization keys when it asked me so. But I did not mistyped any 2FA or auth code I've tried.

And after several hours of giving up on it - the problem suddenly vanished and I could login/logout fine. As a precaution I add a recovery key and decided to disable 2FA because I can be sure it will work as is should.

Maybe I get locked but I dont know what really happened. I believe I did not a lot of login abuse though. I just feel like it's a big issue for my case because I could not rely on the 2FA backup and authorization keys. The error didn't help either because it likely says I've been locked. Whereas having one or two mistyped codes or using "several correct 2FA backup and auth keys" which were wrongly considered incorrect - should not be treated as a login abuse or brute force.

From now on I will likely disable 2FA if using this service. I understand these tests are not things you do on everyday use but I can't imagine how bad it would feel if I have sync sensitive data such as passwords and have to wait hours to unlock access to my account (even if not to access those data).
