Page seems to freeze, and mail/google-acces denied out of nowhere. Same message when trying to log in to MyHeritage. Message someone changed phonenumber recently. I didn´t. I am accessing internet via cable to Iphone. No wifi or bluetooth. I suspect someone is trying to get illegitimate access.

At computer cold boot on windows 11 home pro, Firefox view is open even though it is not in the start menu. It displays a flashy investment type site with a popup "sign up now" window over it. It does not happen on every cold start but does regularly. The site it displays does not show in history before of after it happens. I can find no place on the computer where that site exists, Bitdefender doesn't find anything and neither does Malwarebytes.

Is this something that Firefox did at last update to 132.02 which is when it started happening? Are you now going to have ads all over?

How do I stop this before there is an accidental software install from what looks like a very questionable website.

It was called "Trendview" which an existing website that doesn't have a great reputation and no way to contact them on their website that I can find.

I just tried to go onto etsy website. I was asked to solve a slide puzzle, which I did correctly but was then blocked.

I've attached a screenshot

This has happened with other websites too

Attempting to upgrade and recommission an old HP laptop not used in several years. Currently running Firefox Version 41.0.1

Any queries to legitimate websites such as Google or Mozilla, return a "This Connection is Untrusted" display screen. Firefox security settings have been changed to lowest security, and problem persists.

It isn't that Firefox isn't reaching the websites... it's that some security setting recognizing the security certificates (like Mozilla's) is broken... and I can't get past it... even to be able to download a new browser version.

What is this window called? When this window started popping up a couple of months ago, I noticed a couple of odd things happening on a website I go to. It would not let me pay them. It would look like it was going to then a white screen would pop up ans say" if you see this window then you ...........". I then have to pay on the phone or chrome. I have whitelisted the site but still does it.

I went to settings and then to privacy and security and tried to find auto fill to remove credit card info. I couldn't find the setting the browser told me to find.

I cannot find current instructions for changing 'dns over https' default resolver. The only instructions I've found reference 'Settings', 'General', 'Network Settings' and 'Configure Proxy Access to the Internet'.

DNS over https isn't located there with FF 132.

How do I change the default resolver to custom resolver?

How might I become a trusted SSL certificate issuer? You guys have really been shaking things up the past few years, so that certificates have been the biggest pain in the ass of all time. Do I have to reinvent the entire internet just to sell products online? My 4096 bit SSL certificates generated with openssl have 8x more robust encryption than most of the bilge on the internet, and in a lot of cases, 16x more robust encryption, but your browsers shoot everything down -- literally everything.

People have to make money, guys -- you don't really understand. Nobody cares about your "world view." I don't do business with any of you, you're not the government, I need a secure encrypted website to sell online, but you won't stop complaining that my SSL certificates are somehow "untrusted." I think you have mistaken "untrusted" for "uncrackable by current state of the art," because rumor has it that Google's quantum computer has difficulty cracking 2048 bit SSL certificates.

Why do you need to crack everybody's website encryption anyway? Are you trying to intercept financial transactions? How does that make you more trustworthy than me who doesn't hack anyone? I just want to sell my products in an online storefront. I think you guys really need to get off of your moral high horse, because you seem like the enemy to just about everyone I've ever talked to in my life.

Don't be surprised when I release my own browser and start blocking your crappy 256 bit SSL certificates for being inferior and "insecure." I've kind of had it with Firefox, Chromium, Chrome, Edge, etc... It seems like a colossal waste of time for me to have to release my own damned browser just to sell a freaking t-shirt online in America. This is really capitalism at its worst.

Recently I started using Bit Defender. I have been getting these security messages: Suspicious connection blocked now

Feature: Online Threat Prevention

firefox.exe attempted to establish a connection relying on an expired certificate to updates.tb.ask.com. We blocked the connection to keep your data safe since websites must renew their certificates with a certification authority to stay current, and outdated security certificates represent a risk

Hi, I just installed Windows 11, version 24H2 and now in Firefox I'm continually prompted with "Awaiting Location Permission, Grant Firefox location permission in system settings".

The problem that location has been turned off by admin on this computer. How can I stop these continual prompts from Firefox? I have checked the box in Settings to block location requests from new websites but am still getting the prompts.

Thank you.

A continuous stream of "antivirus" via tomp3.cc popups started appearing today on my Win 10 desktop. Although there is a "Dismiss" button, once pushed the popups return immediately. I have not changed any settings, added/deleted programs. My Firefox is up to date. I have run Windows security and my Bit Defender program with no detection(s) noted.

My bank changed their system and I cannot download my statements. I get a message "No pdf content found." The bank says it is because of Firefox:

"If you want to view them with Firefox with this update you would need to go into your preferences and allow locational services with our website. Firefox is automatically designed to block third party cookies and unless you go in and allow them for our website it will not work with this browsers. Google Chrome and Microsoft edge allows for them which is why for our site they are recommend. We did update our website for security reasons which does mean any time there is an update someone using Firefox would have to go in each time to allow locational services for our site each time. That is a design with Firefox that choose to have in place. "

This is from www.firstinternetbank.com

How can I fix this? I could not find how to change "locational services"

Hey all. Please help.

Periodically I delete my cookies and site data thus... Preferences/Privacy & Security/Cookies and Site Data/Clear Data. I used to use an add on for this but it stopped working.

Today it says I have "Temporary and cached files 1.3 MB". But it says that after Clear Data. It says it after I quit and restart Firefox. And I still says it after restart the computer. My Manage Data... and Manage Exceptions... boxes are empty. I have tried running Antivirus Zap Pro, which doesn't find anything sinister. How can I get rid of it... whatever it is? Can I access the folder and delete it manually?

I'm on an old Macbook Air, running Monterey. With the latest Firefox 132.0.2

Thanks in advance.

My about:config contains this:

I'm in Canada though. Any idea what its about?

Hi there,

Our website is not showing to our customers and they are receiveing this error MOZILLA_PKIX_ERROR_OCSP_RESPONSE_FOR_CERT_MISSING

We have checked our site with SSL Labs https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=locomotivestation.com.au and it returns showing the SSL is fine.

We can see the site and operate on Google Chrome but cannot work out why it is not displaying on Firefox.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

I am consistently getting messages like this from my firewall. "firefox.exe attempted to establish a connection relying on an untrusted certificate to mozilla.cloudflare-dns.com. We blocked the connection to keep your data safe since untrusted certificates are issued by unrecognized Certificate Authorities."

How to use FireFox as incognito without sending my identification tracking information? I have read a bunch of information about privacy with Mozilla and am quite confused.

I would like instructions that are simple to understand and implement.

I have heard that when some airlines know that you are looking for tickets ... the ticket prices are increased when you go to their website over time and time again.

Thank you
