Firefox Community Forum

I am trying to access my QNAP NAS configuration page within my home LAN from a newly installed Linux PC with Firefox 147.0.1. Firefox won't let me access the page, popping up an error page:

Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead

Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to nessy.fritz.box. If you visit this site, attackers could try to steal information like your passwords, emails, or credit card details.

I have verified that the claimed risk is nonexistant, but Firefox does not allow me to bypass the warning. There is no "Proceed anyway" or "Advanced..." button as claimed in various help articles.

How can I convince Firefox that I know what I am doing?

NB: The same page is accessible, also with Firefox 147.0.1, from a Windows PC.

This is probably more a suggestion than a question.

In the "Home" section of the settings under "Firefox Home Content" there are two different settings for creating shortcuts for pages you visit - one under the choice of "Shortcuts" (on/off) and then just below that there is another choice for "Recent Activity" (on/off) with a sub-menu (on/off) choice for "Visited Pages".

I realize these are two different things (logo thumbnail for the first/webpage images for the second). But I find it not only redundant, but since I don't want to clutter my home page with recent visits, and I only chose the first shortcut setting, every time I visit a site, that is now added to the icons that I HAVE chosen. And worse, when I delete one, a new one pops up in its place, sometimes four or five or more times, whether I "Dismiss" or "Delete from history".

It seems to me that there should be a choice for "Sites visited" in the Shortcuts choice or not include that at all.

The only way to s top it is to fill up the rows. I'm getting there but until I do, I keep fighting with these new shortcuts popping up on their own.

I can no longer pin extensions/add-ons to the toolbar. My interface does not look like the one in the help section. I don't see a gear, I see three dots. And when I click on the three dots I don't have the option to pin to toolbar.

I am using Firefox 147.0.4 on Mac OS 26.3 Tahoe.

When backing up bookmarks to HTML - HTML Back-Up does not include the TOOLBAR Bookmarks. Please advise how to include the toolbar bookmarks in HTML format. Thank you.

Suddenly I cannot search from the search bar. It defaults to the address bar. why "fix" something that was not broken. Being forced to use the address bar is frustrating. If you go directly to the address bar, it tells you it cannot find that site.

When there is a field to fill in my credit card info, the info will appear and let me select the CC I want to use but when I move away from the field the CC info goes away.

when I click the mic it says enable microphone permissions but where I find that in firefox settings it needs to ask for permission I can't just enable it. So how do I get the mic to work for more chatbot?

bold text'I am so fed up with these updates loosing my passwords and data, why ? All my settings are messed up and last time it took two weeks to get everything back, why? I give up total idiots for releasing updates that are sub par!

When I logged in this morning my FireFox screen had changed. The window for searches had disappeared and the "pocket" selections were all about India and its events. None of the previous options were there. What happened and how do I get back to where things were?

When I have stories (articles) recommended through Pocket on new tabs that I'm not interested in I will typically "thumbs down" or "dismiss" the story. What I have found recently is that causes them to be promoted to me more rather than less. I believe it's interpreting my interaction as engaging with the content rather than not wanting to see it again. For example, I was shown an article on American football three weeks ago and I gave it a thumbs down. Later that day it was three articles. I gave them the same thumbs down. After repeating this process for days, weeks later I'm still getting multiple articles recommended per day related to football. I've never read one out of interest, and I didn't have any recommendations related to sports until the first one I gave a thumbs down. Based on that, I'm convinced it's having the opposite than intended effect. Dismiss doesn't seem make a difference. Please give me a way to tune the algorithm to what I actually want to see, I like this feature and don't want to have to turn it off.

frustration here, yet very blessed to be celebrating our Nation's 250th anniversary. That said, PLEASE straighten out why Firefox = Mozilla = ????????????????

Also, I tried to return to a 'normal' cursor. I changed it back to said normal cursor. It's back to tall, looks like a door, I feel still proud to be an American, BUT PLEASE HELP THIS OLD LADY OUT!!!

My instagram does not open on my firefox browser. I have cleard all the cookies and cashes. I tried Incongnito, hot spot sharing. I have tried everything its still not working. Can you help me?

I must have 3 or 4 Fox download. Please step your foxy feet into the muck and mire I've created and set me on the right path. PS Trend is waiting for me to have, yet, another code for them. I'm too old to be this lost. Thank you

When I try to make a Google search I get the following message, "I'm not a robot" with a reCAPTCHA: "Our systems have detected unusual traffic from your computer network. This page checks to see if it's really you sending the requests, and not a robot. Why did this happen?". This happens on Firefox, but not Chrome or Edge. If I 'Allow' Google in the 'Exceptions - Cookies and Site Data' then I do not get the message, but it takes several seconds for Google display the resulting page. However, if I delete the cookies/cache the message will return and I have to redo the reCAPTCHA. I have scanned with Malwarebytes, Bitdefender, Hitman Pro, Trend Micro House Call and Microsoft Defender, nothing detected. Running Win 10 (64) with 'Extended Security Updates', Firefox 147.0 (64), no additional Extensions or Plugins. Also I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox.

I have discovered Major problem with Firefox which affects the use of my btinternet.com email account . Since the recent update I am no longer able to add the contact name to a new email which I wish to compose automatically from my contacts (I am required to type it in full. I can still do it, with the shortcut of typing in the first 3 letters, when using other browsers such as Google or Edge or the Outlook muti mail account service but generally prefer Firefox. If this situation prevails I will ditch Firefox as speed of communication and addressing is of the essence to me. Are Firefox aware and are they correcting things?

Could any settings have been altered by the update - which contribute to my problem?
