Why did Mozilla add bing, google, twitter. amazon, eBay and wikipedia extensions without permission and without showing them in the add-on manager for removal? I found them in my profile, but could not disable them there. Fortunately I was able to disable them in CCleaner. I have not found any explanation in version update blogs, privacy policy notices, etc. If they were added to Firefox by the websites, there was no notice that this would happen that I could find. Is the extension the new data collection technology for these websites to replace cookies?

When I attempt to make a payment using PayPal from within Firefox, it opens the PayPal popup, I insert my PayPal login email address, and then the PayPal window goes blank. If I move the PayPal window I see a message from PayPal asking if I'm having trouble opening their window, and suggesting I click 'Continue'. After doing this a couple of times, I get dumped back to where I was, on the merchant website offering me ways of paying, including of course PayPal. I've tried searching through past posts, but they all refer to what's obviously a previous version of FireFox - eg suggesting I click on an Advanced tab that isn't there

I'm logged into Firefox with a Firefox Account and want to have to log into that account every time I open Firefox after closing it.
When I say "Firefox Account", I mean the one found under "Sync" in Firefox options, or the one managed from accounts.firefox.com.
In Firefox's history settings, I have "Use custom settings for history" checked and only "Clear history when Firefox closes" checked. I have checked "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed."
It seems very strange to me that Firefox would keep me logged into my Firefox Account with this setup.

Virus www.windowsxlive.net once on the computer changes the home page in the browser. Cannot be removed by antivirus software. Removes the check box for opening the previous session. Does not disappear after reinstalling. This makes it impossible to work with the browser.

This has happened one other time in the past but the problem went away and i dont remember what I did, but the problem is back. Firefox is saving my login info for email sites and amazon and the dropdown with saved login even shows on private browsing windows. The Logins and Passwords and Forms and Autofills are all unchecked and I have checked to make sure there weren't logins or passwords or Forms data saved.
Attached is a dummy login that I used in yahoo mail and a screeshot of my Firefox privacy settings.
I recently tried a Mozilla.cfg and Local-setting.js fix to prevent saving passwords permanently on the browser but that did help either

Somewhere along the way in adjusting my cookies settings, I disallowed the option to automatically log in to Gmail and LinkedIn. Now I am required to engage 2-step authentication every single time I log in to these sites. I would prefer to adjust settings so that I can log in to these sites automatically. What is the correct setting to do this?

I'm on an old laptop with an old browser which I can't update. That shouldn't
be an issue because for something that seems to be the solution for like 99.9%
of the problems you get we're told to "clear the cache"
I've looke in both options/ security and options/ privacy. Nothing there about
clearing a cache. Options/ any of the others there's nothing about clearing the
cache. "play DRM content" whatever that is, I have no problem finding that.
That's righ there easy to find us if people use it all the time. But clear the
cache? Nope, that has to be hidden.

I am trying to access a site where the certificate doesn't match the site URL. I know it's okay and I want to accept the risk and continue. I click Accept the Risk and Continue, but it never works and instead I always return to the 403 error Forbidden page. I have tried clearing the history, cache & passwords (I don't use a password on this site), but that didn't work. Is there any type of Whitelisted Sites on Firefox? I have verified that this behavior happens outside the network I'm on, so it isn't being blocked by my site admin.

I was using an unprotected wifi for about 3 days and now I have unknown programs running and sometimes commond prompt boxes suddenly poping up and dissapearing. I'm nolonger using the computer and I'm changing all my passwords just in case. (not getting FF to remember them)
But there are unknown usernames and passwords in my synced passwords. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/930340 Does this mean the hacker has all my FF passwords and can access it anywhere and anytime if I change them is sync? Should I make a new Sync account?

I'm looking for non-social Firefox edition or version. I want to follow the latest FF updates, but without any integrated services like social spyware and any other kind of malware. Options disable / enable are not sufficient to be safe and security in Firefox is corrupted by social API.
Social services and features must be implemented only as a simple optional extensions and nothing more.

When I try to access this US military site, https://www.tricareonline.com/portal/page/portal/TricareOnline/Portal I get a warning that this site can't be trusted. I then get a notice to override Firefox if I trust the site. I get a certificate, override, and finally get the site. But this has happened a half dozen or so times, every time I try to log in to the military site. How can I log into this site without the annoying warnings?
Thanks, Donald Sullivan

A newspaper website asked if I wanted to tell them my location. Firfox popped up and asked if I wanted to automatically tell sites that ask my geographic location. I clicked and got more information. There was a section that gave instructions to permanently disable geographic location tracking. I followed the directions to disable, even though the default is no tracking. I had to type an two words with a : separating them into the address bar. This brought me to a long list of settings. I followed the directions but now it seems my location is being tracked by everyone.
How do I get back to this list of settings (which was not accessed through Options) to go back to the default?

Hi,
I'm using firefox for several years, but recently i discovered a weird effect on one of my computers, which was consistent across many FF versions (up to the recent version 17 now). All drop down menus on facebook were not working for me. On one pc I can click on the red globe, and a menu opens - while on the other pc nothing happened. Now I was able to reproduce it.
As soon as I activate the "ask how long cookies are stored" option in the privacy settings, the drop down menus wont work/show. Choosing the default "Keep them as long as they are valid" reenables the drop down menus.
I really like the cookie storage time option so i can decide which website will remember me.

I am no doubt asking in the wrong place, but...I have Apache2 running on a linux locally. I believe I have set it up to support server-side includes. I have a cgi-bin perl script, hell.pl:
#!/usr/bin/perl print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"; print "Hello, world\n"; exit;
Under Firefox, I can generate the Hello World page through the url
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/cgi-bin/hell.pl
where xxx.xxx... is the apache2 server address.
But if I try to do that via the html file:
<HTML> <HEAD></HEAD> Test:<BR> <BODY> <!--#include virtual=/cgi-bin/hell.pl" --> </BODY></HTML>
All I get is page which is blank except for the "Test:" on line 1. The apache error and access logs show no relevant problems, as if the browser treats the serverside include as a comment.
I realize that the fault no doubt lies with the apache2 configuration, but I have studied and studied... and am now clutching at straws.
