Firefox-Hilfeforum

We run Firefox in a Windows 10 20H2 64-bit business environment and use a proxy to control access to the Internet. Within Windows we enable the system proxy settings found under Start>Settings>Network and Internet>Proxy and we define some local server names that should bypass the proxy.

Some clients have updated to Firefox 96 since yesterday and we are seeing that they can only access the first name found in the list that should bypass the proxy. All others are being sent through the proxy and subsequently blocked as if they aren't in the list. We tested the same local web pages in Edge and they load without issue. Clients with Firefox 95 or lower are not affected.

I've attached a screen snip of the Windows 10 proxy settings found on the client, and I've typed some example names into the exceptions box.

We've tried the obvious computer restart, and we've removed and re-added the local server names(exceptions) from the proxy settings, and the result is the same. It seems as though Firefox is not properly "seeing" the information that is in the Windows/System proxy settings.

The workaround we've used so far is entering the local server name(s) that should bypass the proxy in the field under Firefox in Settings>General>Network Settings>Settings>"No proxy for."

Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Don't want https://mail.america.net/webmail/src/webmail.php to be my home as http://webmail.1scom.net/webmail/src/webmail.php is not a bad site. Has been my home with Firefox for 16 years. How do I disable america.net  ?

Firefox will NOT stay in the assigned desktop, Macbook Pro 11.6.1

I am ready to quit using Firefox if it will not stay in its assigned desktop.

Thank you, John

Could someone please explain the function of the folders

Big Problem in Version 96.0 with proxy settings. In Firefox the proxy setting "Use system proxy settings" is used. In Windows Internet Options the proxy is set and several proxy exceptions are defined with semikolons. Firefox only uses first proxy exception entry before the first semikolon. all other exceptions dont work. You can test this by deleting the first exception so that the previous second exception is now the first exception. Its always only the first exception in the list working. Going back to Version 95.0.2 - all exceptions are working again.

I use FireFox to open my ISP (WOW) Home Page(default) to go to my email. I click on my email and I get "please wait while we log you in. I'm still waiting. I called WOW Support and they said to use Google Chrome. I can get to my email with Google Chrome. I do not want to use Google Chrome. I deleted all my cookies and cache in FireFox and still can't get to my email. Is there an update to Firefox that will help? Thanks. Robert

Hi! I want to move a user's Firefox profile to a new computer. I had them log in on the new workstation so Windows would create a new user profile for them. Then I had them open Firefox, so it would create the new Firefox profile, and then close it, so I could transfer the Firefox profile from the old system. Now, in their Firefox Profiles folder on the new system, \\NewWS\c$\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles, I see two folders. One of them is "something.default-release" and the other is "somethingelse.default". I was expecting one folder there, so why are there two? And which one should I use to receive the profile from the old computer? The OS is Windows 10 and Firefox is v.96.

I open a new private window, go to a website such as Wikipedia, and use the in site search bar to search for say "dogs". Then close all private windows and all other Firefox windows, and re open a new regular Firefox window, both my search for "Wikipedia" is remembered by the search bar, and my search for "dogs" is remembered by Wikipedia. Clearing my cookies and deleting my browsing history does nothing to fix this. Reinstalling Firefox has also done nothing to fix this. Every bit of information i can find on the topic says Firefox's private browsing mode deletes cookies and history upon closing all windows, but this is not the case for me. My temporary patch is to remove all address bar suggestions from everywhere, but i only want private browsing mode to function as intended. Thank you for reading all this and i hope you can assist.

I have made Firefox my default browser on my laptop. When reviewing my account I noticed that the original username (e-mail address) I created the account with no longer exists. Is it possible to replace my new e-mail address for the old one, and use it as the new User Name?

  Thanks in advance for your help.

Yesterday, before I received the update, my Wowway.net email was working as it should. After the update it would not let me log in. All I get on the email login page is Please Wait While We Are Logging You In. This happened on 2 laptops and a desktop. My Wowway.net email is working properly on Chrome on all 3 computers.

Hi all, I've set up proxy auto configuration with wpad. And it's working, but not in every case: On my android (version 10) phone I can enter in the advanced options the "Proxy Auto-Config" with a PAC URL. This works, but only for Chrome. When I use Firefox, the proxy is not used. Any Idea why this is the case and how this could be resolved?

I also downloaded the nightly build. With about:config I can set the network.proxy.autoconfig_url. There I added the PAC URL. But the browser still don't use the proxy. Any idea how to make this working?

Cheers
