Forum der Gemeinschaft Firefox

Hi!

I am getting messages that I am blocking ads for many of my internet requests. I had never received these before but all of a sudden I started to get them. I have tried a number of things but nothing works.

I am running Windows 11 and do not have any Ad blockers.

Hello. I am setting up a site on Linux server using Apache as reverse proxy , with ASP.NET as application server . since installing SSL , I had few mixed content blocking that i was managed to fix using CSP directive in Apache configuration file. site has no issue with all browser except Firefox. the only issue is that in admin section , to configure a option. system will load a js file that simply a dropdown with list of options to choose from . when using Firefox , it tries to redirect that page to login page . for test , i clicked on the link i located in Developer tools , which directed me to login page , entered my credentials, and scripts loads showing the drop down box and ok button. is been 3 weeks i been looking for every solution and i have done everything .. but nothing have worked. now I am resort to having to use other browsers if i need to use that functionality in admin page. In page header file name : login , location : http://MYDOMAIN.ca/login?ReturnUrl=%2FAdmin%2FDiscountRulesCustomerRoles%2FConfigure%3FdiscountId%3D6%26_%3D1702682353293 , which are not correct . and browser such as Brave and Safari dose not show different path and file name and everything is correct. dose anyone know how to fix this .. ? i saw a solution mentioned as stated resting Firefox ,but can not find a way to reset , but i have reinstalled Firefox and constantly having this issue on this single section of the page . Thanks.

I can open Firefox and it works fine on my (admin) user account, as it has for years.

Starting today, when my wife is logged in on her account/user on the Mac, when trying to open Firefox there is a prompt "Firefox is trying to install a new helper tool" and requests the admin name and password. I authorized yes to install the helper tool, and then the Firefox icon bounces on the dock indefinitely and Firefox is "not responding" and never opens. If I force quit and try again, I get the same prompt to install the helper tool and the cycle begins again.

I think this started after I updated a BitWarden extension on Firefox on my wife's account, but not sure if that is what provoked the problem. The same Bitwarden extension exists on Firefox on the admin account, and that Firefox works fine.

What I have tried so far: Shut down all BitWarden apps. Refreshed Firefox on the admin account - which deletes the BitWarden extension. Moved Firefox to the trash. Restart the computer. Re-install Firefox from the admin account (Firefox again works just fine when admin is the user). But Firefox still does not work when another user (my wife) is on her account - same issue with asking to install a helper tool and Firefox never opens.

Hardware: MacBook Air M2, Seqouia 15.1

Any help is much appreciated.

Solve the running, but not responding. I seen you had 30 people who had the same issue,but no answer to solve it. Your site use to work great ,but now I can't. This makes no sense,unless I go thru deleting firefox,each time.

I have two profiles that I use side-by-side due to needing two accounts on the same site: EID and FID. Whenever I click on a hyperlink in Outlook or Teams to open the link, it always opens the link in my FID window.

Is there a way to force a symlink of sorts so that links from other applications open in my default profile? I looked it up and it seems like it should open it in the Default profile but that's not happening.

I open FF by first opening the application (which launches my Default profile), and then I go to "about:profiles" to open a separate window for my FID profile.

Firefox update today took a very long time. Now it doesn't load correctly (stories are blank without pix, can't access any websites). I've shut down my laptop (Windows 10) multiple times but that didn't help. I have Norton which worked just fine until today's update. Is there a way to delete the updates? If I uninstall Firefox will it keep my bookmarks? Does Firefox send an email to the email on my account for verification? I had tried to update the email on my account after this update issue came up; however, I couldn't access my account because if this update. I no longer have access to the email address on my account. How will I know if anyone responds to this? Anyway to get phone support? Thanks!

I installed this add-on to my wife's HP laptop computer and it appeared to install properly.

However, it appears the add-on is not synced or some other problem because it failed to display the "Norton Password Manager" icon in the Menu Bar of the Firefox Browser.

The installation did create Vault and a Vault Password was provided. New entries can by added to the vault when logging in to new websites, however, without the Menu Bar Icon displayed in the browser, there is not way to view and use the vault entries.

I tried to uninstall the add-on and re-install it, but to no avail. It still does not display the Norton Password Manager icon in the menu bar.

Is there someway to correct this ? Any help would be appreciated.

I installed this add-on to my Dell Desktop XPS computer and it works just fine.

See photo of my Menu Bar (attached).

Did Not Connect: Potential Security Issue

Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to www.google.com because this website requires a secure connection.

What can you do about it?

www.google.com has a security policy called HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), which means that Firefox can only connect to it securely. You can’t add an exception to visit this site.

The issue is most likely with the website, and there is nothing you can do to resolve it. You can notify the website’s administrator about the problem.

I have Firefox with account and without account on multiple devices, sometimes current, sometimes ESR. In all versions (not tested on android) there are always the wron suggestions for Uername fields beside the right suggestion.

How is it possible, that firefox suggests the username of 123.com on abc.com? Two completely different domains. Sometimes i have three or more suggestions that are all wrong but the correct username i used before is not suggested? For local Websites this is nearly never correct and Firefox suggests really strange words that have been used months ago on some other website.

What can i do to get the very simple Username to domain matching back? Is there an extension?

That behaviour is repeatable. New WIndows Mashine, new Firefox install, a few logins, reboot and visit some of the pages you logged in: wrong suggestions from completely different domains.

I added a screenshot where firefox sugests 2 usernames, none of which was ever used on that domain. Even better, the username i use everyday to login is not shown at all.

PS: I never ever safe passwords in browser. PPS: This problem exists for every input field, but i kept it at usernames because thats whats everyone using. PPPS: Dont get me started at form data like addresses. That never works. Here i really miss the dropdown function of chrome for multiple Form data already entered before.

A few weeks ago I noticed that my bookmarks have started changing the order that I list them. In the past the bookmarks always stayed in the exact order I put them. Now everyday, they change. It drives me crazy! How do I stop that?

I open and close Firefox many times in a day, usually without restarting computer. At some point it has decided to open/show all tabs I had open in previous session, which is different behaviour from before. I don't wan't it to remember what I had open. And it did not, until, well, I don't know. Recently. I haven't changed any settings. It is annoying. And because I have not checked "Open previous windows and tabs" in Settings/General/Startup, it seems like a bug.

I need some help with Firefox -- surfing the web has become excruciatingly slow.

 Chrome and Edge don't have this problem -- but I don't like surfing with those
 browsers -- and I like Firefox better.

 When I click on a link, I see this message in the lower left:

     "Connecting to ff.kis.v2.scr.kaspersky-labs.com.."

 Of course, "kaspersky-labs.com" no longer exists, (for Americans).  
 Eventually, after several minutes, it times out and the web page I was
 trying to access appears.

 Kaspersky was trying to protect me by checking to see if the website I clicked 
 was a potential criminal enterprise or not.

 I was a former customer of Kaspersky, but the U.S. Govt. has decided that we
 cannot do business with Russian-based enterprises.

 I tried doing an "Remove Programs"-->"Kaspersky" via Microsoft System, 
 Which removed Kaspersky from my system, but not from Firefox.

 I also tried looking at the Firefox extensions, but there was no Kaspersky
 extension.

I am using a windows 8.1 OS on the computer with this problem. I am using Firefox 115.16.1esr. 400 bad request is first problem. One site "TMX Money" provides a list of available sites. When I select a site from the search list, the response is the 400 error. The response occurred within the last three days. This problem is unique for Firefox as none of the other Browsers respond with this error.

This problem is unique for Firefox as none of the other Browsers respond with this error for the web site, and don't occur on my windows 10 computer using Firefox 131.0.3..
