Firefox Community Forum

Sat. 04/19/2025 @9:10 am CDT - Hi. About 2 months ago on any Settings page, FF began to show "your browser is being managed by your organization." The problem is - it's a STANDALONE box, not connected to any network beyond my ISP. I do own websites but I'm not perpetually logged into the host company, so their switch to Microsoft Entra wouldn't have an effect, I would think.

What settings do I change to make FF know that I'm not on a network? Thanks in advance.

I use Firefox as my standard browser

As a subscriber to a certain Swiss daily newspaper, I have access to their digital version. For some time now, I have not been able to log in to their site. The log in page is greyed out (see first attachment).

The support agent indicated that the problem lies with the browser, and suggested that I declared their site (https://id.tamedia.ch) as an exception in the Firefox settings "Privacy and Security". The problem still remained however.

That the problem is due to the browser would seem to be confirmed by the fact that there is no problem if I use "Edge" (see second attachment).

I would prefer to remain with Firefox for all internet access. Any suggestions? Many thanks.

I have had trouble for months logging in to Ticketmaster and Office Depot Canada. Now, I can't use Firefox to access Crave, which tells me that my "IP address is outside of North America." I am not using a VPN, so I don't know why Crave thinks that.

Help?

How do I remove "firefox browser being managed by your organisation" . I have looked at several posts and don't understand a word of it. I recently re-installed Firefox and lost all my passwords but still have bookmarks, every time I turn off firefox it forgets my account sign in, I then get an email to say I have signged in on a new device. I suspect it is the Norton 360 security software. Please can someone explain in simple terms how to remove it. I have tried contacting Norton but their support is worse than Microsoft.

Some sites I use will not let me use them unless I stop using add blocking. I have not installed an add blocker so I am thinking it must be one in Firefox. Assuming this is true, how can I discontinue the add blocker at a specific site so I can access/read/use its contents. Thank you in advance for any help you may be able to provide. Ken

I am trying to free up some disc space, so I ran Disk Cleanup, but no improvement.

It shows over 430MB Temporary Internet Files, all of which are under a padlock icon. The size just keeps on increasing from day to day.

How can I remove some or all these Temporary Internet Files and regain disc space?

I received an email with the heading Mozilla Monitor listing my monthly Monitor report. Said I had 7 data breaches and asking me to click to resolve or click to view details. Is this a scam? Send answer to k.krukowski@comcast.net

Hi, I had an addon installed through github and I had to realise today it vanished without a trace. Not from github, its still there. I just reinstalled it. Vanished from my browser. With all my settings. Non of the firefox addon store addons were affected by the way.

My question thus: What the fuck and how do I prevent that from happening again?

I had a website that possibly phished me in my Firefox browser. I was in a webpage, and I had a full screen McAfee notification for a possible malware and asked to start a scan. I wasn't fully realizing what was happening and I did so. I was able to get out of the full screen mode and realized it was the webpage I was on but wasn't the same page I had been on previously. I started getting security popups as if Microsoft was issuing them, but I couldn't close them, and they all had links to follow. I killed the internet connection, tried repairing Firefox and still got the pop ups. So, I uninstalled Firefox and that stopped the popups. Can you tell me if there are any current security vulnerabilities with Firefox and can you tell me if there is a record of what my Firefox browser downloaded and installed on my computer?

Now that Mozilla/Firefox have joined Google on the dark side, who is everyone switching to? I would like something that works well in both Windows and android. I hear Opera can't be trusted and I don't like how there are like 6 difference versions of Opera in the android app store. DuckduckGo is just badly made IMO. Edge causes some glitches with one of the sites I use most. Should I try Brave? I just want a browser to BROWSE the web. I don't want AI. I don't need a VPN or adblock built in. I don't want a "gamer" browser. A decent local password manager would be nice but I don't want to have to make an account to use it. I know if the product is free, you are the product, so I would almost prefer a browser you pay for but oddly that doesn't seem to be a popular option. Probably because the user data the companies collect makes them more money then people would be willing to pay. Sad times. I miss the 90's.

I regularly receive email advice (via Thunderbird) from companies to access my account with them.

Two days ago I selected a link to direct me to the secure form. I note that the exact same link has been provided to me in the past and opened. This time however I was confronted with "Invalid Address".

I was advised to copy the link into another browser; I chose "Edge" and the form opened.

I have cleared FireFox's "Recent History" but that still gives no joy.

How do I overcome this?

Is there something in a configuration file that I might edit, or a potentially corrupt Windows Registry entry?

I do not use any Windows Security depending upon Bitdefender (which has never created any issues of this nature).

Hello Since the last update I have not been able to sign in to Government sites using my bank as a sign in partner. I am able to sign in using Google Chrome but I prefer Firefox for my daily browser. I have cleared cache and all data and am still unable to sign in. I am using Version 137.0.1 (64-bit)

Your help will be appreciated.

Hello

What are the restricted sites in the Firefox extension details? What are the sites restricted by Mozilla, as referred to on the page https://support.mozilla.org/pl/kb/dlaczego-niektore-dodatki-nie-sa-dozwolne-na-stronach-ograniczonych-przez-mozille?as=u&utm_source=inproduct#firefox:win10:fx135 ?
