Firefox supportforum

Under Options>Privacy & Security I disabled (unchecked) all the Address Bar actions because I don't want the auto-suggestions to pop up every time I click in the address bar. However, in spite of that, the suggestions continue to pop up. How do I get them turned off?? (Yes, I've closed and restarted the browser.)

Hi I keep getting security messages about an out of date certificate Having contacted the website concerned they asked me to update the browser this made the situation worst they now keep asking if they can track me they now say the certificates are part of the firefox Security is there any way you or I can delete out of date certificates

Thanks Roy

Hi,

I recently installed firefox on my desktop, created a Mozilla account and a passphrase for my profile data.

When I chose the iPhone as the second device to sync and the operation completed, I went to my iPhone, launched firefox and was able to go to the password section and select copy/reveal without it asking for my passphrase. So my valuable data is just there for anyone to view.

Can you please explain this behavior to me?

Thanks

Hi, I'm not sure exactly when this started happening but when I click in the right half of the address bar the suggestions which come up now include "Search with Google" and "Search with Amazon" and several recent site visits (facebook, BBC etc) but doesn't include "google.co.uk". I like to return there as a route to gmail, google drive etc. It used to include "google.co.uk" before "Search with Google" and "Search with Amazon" started appearing, which I guess was on a Firefox update. I'm on Firefox 77 on W10.

Any suggestions please?

AS of the last 2 day when entering a site I get a security warning. It states that this may be a need to reset my clock (did that ) check permission for site ( did that) contact the site itself. I contacted the site and they say there is nothing at their end -- contact Firefox. Any suggestions as to how get rid of the notice.

Previously cached web content would go to zero after I hit clear. Now it's been leaving 10 kb after I hit clear. Should I be worried? Is there a way to get it to go back to zero?

I use Google Home page. Recently, some stupid "Try Searching For" drop down box opens every time I go to Search bar!! I've clicked off everything I can find in indexes. How do I get rid of this nuisance 'help'.

We recently upgraded Firefox on an older Ubuntu 16.04. We are now having trouble with some https sites.

Error code: SEC_ERROR_UNKNOWN_ISSUER https://www.myeducation.gov.bc.ca/aspen/logon.do

We don't think it is a firewall or antivirus/antispyware issue because the same version of Firefox will work on other versions of Linux/windows in the school.

We did notice a difference in the Certificate Manager. The Firefox that is NOT working is missing certificates that are labelled "Software Security Device". The site that fails is looking for "Entrust Certification Authority -L1K" which should be listed as a "Software Security Device" in Firefox.

We have tried the following:

• Updated ca-certificates package which stores system certificates in /etc/ssl/certs/.
• move $HOME/.mozilla folder out of the way to start with a fresh profile.
• tested same Firefox on other versions of Linux and it works fine.
• made sure antivirus/firewalls are not interfering.

Hello you wonderful people: My OS is Linux Mint 19.2 Cinnamon 64-bit. When I click the "Edit" tab, I select "Preferences" from the drop-down. I then click "Privacy & Security", and under "Cookies and Site Data", I click, "Clear Data". When I click, "Clear Now" for "Cached Web Content" (I have that check marked), it doesn't zero out, but displays "751 KB". It used to clear it completely. My question is, what do I need to do so that all data, KB or MB, is cleared? This is a mystery, and can only figure when I downloaded the current version, it somehow carried over previously existing data. I look forward to your response, and sincerely thank you, in advance. Side note: I am a long time volunteer at Free Geek in Portland, Oregon. I love Linux!

I lost my Firefox password. I was changing it by generating one and copying it to Lastpass, but Lastpass failed to create an entry for Firefox. The link to reset a lost password asks for a recovery key, which I also don't have. I do have a block of Firefox recovery codes, but they are not accepted for a change of password. Is there any way for me to change my password?

Thanks, Byron

suddenly noticed web sites were not being logged onto when checked found lockwise? has no login information for any sites have checked key.4pd file and logins.corrupt they contain my web sites and encrypted login details but firefox dose not show then help please?

After I sign out of Firefox I can still access lockwise login history by clicking on Lockwise down in the Products section. It comes up and suggests I open in Firefox/logins from the drop down menu and when I click on the logins section timewise shows all my logins and all corresponding Passwords. Seems to me that likewise should be password protected.

I am not able to post pictures in Facebook comments using Firefox on my laptop. I am posting this here rather than in FB because I *am* able to post using Internet Explorer. When I click on the camera icon within the comment area nothing happens. In IE, doing the same opens up the ususal window to select the file I want to upload. Also, on my LG Android phone I can add photos to comments. Is there some setting in Firefox that could be the cause?

Surfing https://www.asimmetrie.it/ on Firefox 77.0.1 (64-bit) Linux produce SEC_ERROR_UNKNOWN_ISSUER while no error occurs on Windows. Standing on https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=www.asimmetrie.it Linux is correct because the server's certificate chain is incomplete

Yesterday all of my personal web-pages started showing all links as black, instead of the format of the pages: blue or red. Under Preferences > History, I have Firefox set to remember History. I have enhanced tracking set to off for my personal pages. My personal pages are NOT secure (https.)

Thanks.

Hi. I've only just launched an up to date firefox as I've been using an ancient computer for years. Now Firefox monitor is saying that various accounts of mine have been breached, but i think i created some of the accounts with Facebook login details, rather than with their own passwords. You know like when it says 'Sign up with Google or Facebook' and you just click that and enter your facebook/google login. So I'm confused now. Does that mean my facebook login details have been breached? Or has doing it that way actually protected my details? Any help really appreciated, thanks so much.

Hello, Kind of like the title says, every time I close out Firefox, the "Logins and Passwords" option "Ask to save logins and passwords for websites" unchecks itself, and does not autofill or remember passwords on the next browsing session unless you go back and check the box each time. I included the troubleshooting text below. Thanks in advance for your help! Matt

I have been watching videos on one website for 7 years using adobe flash. I have watched videos lately using firefox because of the problems I have had with google speed wise. This last week the videos will not play on firefox. I have tried as many things as I am aware of on the contributors posts website. I also searched the web for answers. I found nothing that would solve the problem.

               PLEASE HELP!!!
