Good morning,

We are seeing that the key "DisableAppUpdate" being set to TRUE in about:policies. Not sure why this setting is being set. The result of the setting is "Updates disabled by your organization". So we cannot manually update firefox and are not sure why the setting is being set.

We used Procmon to capture logs:

Line 5169544: "2:29:45.2062951 AM","firefox.exe","1720","RegEnumValue","HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Mozilla\Firefox","SUCCESS","Index: 0, Name: DisableAppUpdate, Type: REG_DWORD, Length: 4, Data: 1" Line 5169546: "2:29:45.2063211 AM","firefox.exe","1720","RegEnumValue","HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Mozilla\Firefox","SUCCESS","Index: 0, Name: DisableAppUpdate, Type: REG_DWORD, Length: 4, Data: 1" Line 5169547: "2:29:45.2063338 AM","firefox.exe","1720","RegQueryValue","HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Mozilla\Firefox\DisableAppUpdate","SUCCESS","Type: REG_DWORD, Length: 4, Data: 1" Line 5169548: "2:29:45.2063563 AM","firefox.exe","1720","RegQueryValue","HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Mozilla\Firefox\DisableAppUpdate","SUCCESS","Type: REG_DWORD, Length: 4, Data: 1"

Is there anything in Firefox that can trigger the setting of this key?

the past 4 producers have told me they cant hear me on google meet when i'm on firefox. it worked fine forever, then no one could hear me and i reported it a bunch and it got fixed. now the issue is back again and its been like for probably 4 weeks now.

zero issues on google meet when i try it on google chrome. Zero issues with zoom. its only when I'm on firefox's google videochat that people cant hear my microphone. feels like a repeat issue of what happened months ago when the issue wasnt with me. it was firefox. I've written to google, I've written to firefox. They've had me try a bunch of stuff and nothing is working. Can anyone help me???? Issue persisted before I went to macOS sequoia 15.0 and still persists with latest os. Firefox 130.0.1 (64-bit). I've bee trying to find a solution for this for weeks now:

-i've gone to "allow applications to access the microphone" that looks fine -i've done a new profile, didnt work -i've cleared the cache, didnt work -i've turned off ad blocker for that page, didnt work. -i disabled extensions on firefox, that didnt work.

please help!!!!!!!

I just started getting this error:

Secure Connection Failed An error occurred during a connection to www.newsmax.com.

I cannot find how to make this stop. I will get emails from Newsmax about articles and if there is something I want to read I click on the link in the email. I never had a problem with Firefox not opening the link. This just started and I can not get the link to open. I have Newsmax set up as a home setting. However, after I got the Secure Connection Failed error, I could not open the Newsmax web page even if I typed in www.newsmax.com. I am about to uninstall Firefox and use another browser. Can you please tell me how to fix this?

Hello, last night I was browsing the web on Firefox and a thing popped up said allow or deny and I said something about connecting with other computers and stuff I really didn't know what it was so I pushed deny and now I cannot connect to anything like YouTube eBay or any of them that won't connect to nothing and I don't know how to go back and find that to allow it, if you can help I would appreciate it very much thanks

as the subject says, i cannot get firefox developer edition to prompt me for local network connections permissions on macos which means i cannot access any of my internal web applications. is there a way to force this? i had the permissions in there previously during the beta cycle and they appear to have gone away

Today I manually download and rename the firefox executable so a script that runs as a Sandbox is spun up is ready to go immediately. But that entails me manually downloading, then renaming the installer to a name that the script always knows. And often the setup file gets updated on the web and I am running the prior version, or older depending on when I went thru that manual process.

So I am back looking for a way to either find a way to download the newest installer each time or find a way to kick off the internal updater right after its currently scripted install completes. Either could work.

I hate having to use Edge as its the browser MS automatically installs when a sandbox is spun up.

Or are there other ideas on how to accomplish this? Thanks, Bill

I am trying to help a colleague who is trying to use Microsoft Teams join links, but it only opens in the Firefox browser (default). Microsoft Teams support says to select the always allow box.

When I open a Teams link on Firefox, I see a pop up that asks "Always allow— she does not see it. Any idea what may be preventing this? I have "Block pop-up windows" checked on my browser settings, so that can't be the issue. Her browser is up to date. We both have Apple computers.

Appreciate your help with this mystery.

A problem began today and I can't figure out what the issue is. It is not a problem with my laptop, because I was in touch with Apple support. The problem is in Firefox, because I was able to attach files in Safari. I went to a website where I had to upload a file. The popup window had a button to click, Search for File (or something like that). When I clicked on it, my documents folder, the Macintosh HD folder, opened up but disappeared immediately. I saw it but it went away. I thought it was a problem with their website but when I tried to send the file to myself in gmail (using Firefox) so that I could upload the file from my phone, the same thing happened -- I couldn't attach anything to the email. The folder opened and then disappeared immediately. As I say, I called Apple, but when I tried the gmail attachment option in Safari, there was no problem. My Firefox says it's up to date. I closed Firefox and reopened it, but that didn't fix it. I also restarted my computer, but that didn't work either. If anyone has any insights, I'd appreciate it. I would hate to have to stop using Firefox and switch to Safari. Thanks.

Schwab login has a "remember this site" option but FF always "forgets". How to set FF to actually "remember" a particular website. For instance Schwab.

Searching help finds solution: click "shield" in address bar but that only brings up Pocket which I have no use for at all.

Thank you and many thanks to the good people at FF!

Not long ago all my search results (Google is my default search engine) using Version 130.0.1 (64-bit) came up in English - as they should.

Then all of a sudden, all my search results came up in French. I never twerked with any of the settings to change it. When I type in the search bar all results are in French plus I get a pop-up window

Looking for results in English? Change to English Continuer en Français Paramètres de langue

When clicking to change to English I am taken to Google Search settings and am taken to page with Activity, Content, More options b Clicking under More Options the Google account settings I'm taken to the Google Account Home Settings page. Clicking on the Paramètres de langue (Language parameters) => Paramètres de recherche Langue et région (Language and region) I click on English. Works fine then .....bold text until next time I start up my PC.

Driving me insane %-(

How do you set up login for only password entry? I tried to disable your asking for a passkey or fingerprint by going to account security, Face/Fingerprint/PIN Sign-in Sign-inON DeviceiPhone 12 But the above is unclickable so I can't disable it.,

Firefox is slow switching between youtube tabs and loading them oftentimes. Not using vpn. Use DOH tried different DNS. I tried to clean all data, no addons, even reinstall firefox. Only 80% ram is used from 16GB. I have 3200mhz ram and i5 9600 KF and samsung 860 there should be no problem. I used to have 3000 tabs even open in 2016 in chrome running off page file and there was never performance problems lol! Firefox sucks on youtube even it might be not its fault. I tried performance settings auto/vs no hw accelration too. I am WIndows 11 desktop 23H2...

Any idea why this crap is so slow. I tried disable tracking that helped bit with slow UI but not with tabs and performance issues!

How do I disable the automatic reordering of typed tags in my bookmarks? Fore example if I add tags "programming, javascript" its automatic change to "javascript, programming". I want to decide the order of the tags myself.

Twice now I have had issues with a site (A bank) sending an ID verification code to my email address in Thunderbird in Ubuntu and also on my Mobile via Bluemail. Resulting in hours of correspondence to get around the problem by other means. (I am deaf so prefer not to use the phone)

I have a theory, please can someone with "The knowledge" have a butchers at the console text below as I think that it may be the cross site cookie prohibition, a standard setting for most of us which stops this verification code working: Note Noscript is set to "Temp trust all on site" Ghostery set to Trust site.
