When signing in to online Shaw Webmail, message says 'Security Check Failed. Clear your browser cache and retry'. Screenshot attached. Have done so in "Clear browsing and data history", (as per Firefox guidelines) multiple times, for all History and cache. Did not resolve issue. Contacted Shaw Support; they instructed to try logging in with Chrome browser. Worked fine. Issue appears to be strictly with Firefox Browser (on multiple devices). I prefer Firefox over Chrome. Any advice greatly appreciated.

Tried to update Firefox. Got the message: your updates are being managed by your organization. I'm a home user. No organization. What is the problem? Thank you in advance.

Hi. I'm asking this question because I'm not quite sure how to describe this issue through a Google search. Recently, I've noticed that whenever I click and drag anything, an icon will pop up while I'm doing so. Attached is an example, I click-and-dragged on the "Learn More" hyperlink off to the right.

Is there any way to disable the icon that pops up? It bothers me and seems to slow things down, which isn't ideal. I'm not the most well-versed when it comes to Firefox's more advanced settings (the options in about:config and whatnot) so I wouldn't know where to start.

Did Not Connect: Potential Security Issue

Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to nrega.nic.in because this website requires a secure connection.

What can you do about it?

nrega.nic.in 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.

Probably nothing, since it’s likely there’s a problem with the site itself.

There are times that I use the screenshot tool on X.com and the filename it saves to is WAY too long. Sometimes it tries to use the entire content of the post as the filename. I see this effect in the title bar as well. Is there a way to change it so it only uses a date/timestamp and nothing else? Attached is an example of this extremely long naming. Specs: Firefox 139.0.4 (aarch64) Mozilla Firefox for Raspberry Pi OS rasberrypios-1.0 OS: Debian 12 bookworm Kernel: aarch64 Linux 6.12.25+rpt-rpi-2712

While I am able to log into my Google account in Chrome, I am unable to do so in Firefox after the latest update. Whenever I try, I am redirected to the attached support page, which asks me to delete cookies and cache contents. Deleting those does not help.

Please help!

Firefox quite often will remove, replace, add, or layer text as I use it. It has been doing this since I first downloaded it, and I haven't had it for long. (I will say that it isn't the first program I've seen do this. the only other program I've seen do this is Zotero.) I'm not doing anything weird with it, it just happens as I use it. Some of the screenshots I've submitted are of what I'm literally typing right now.

I've tried using troubleshoot mode, but it works just fine when I'm using troubleshoot mode, so I can't appropriately use that mode.

I'm looking for help in transferring everything from Firefox to Chrome. If anyone knows how, because Google isn't being the best help at the moment. I have a Chromebook, so it's been tough trying to download Firefox. I'm looking for a way to move what I need onto the laptop without having to start from scratch and do things one by one, which is too many things. If anyone knows how, please don't hesitate to answer.

Does FF offer a setting to address the following two incompatibilities?

1. In the iCarol web app, as the user is approaching the timeout limit, in Chrome the browser tab flashes a warning. This does not happen in FF.

2 In the Diaplad web app, if the user needs to record a voicemail greeting, in Chrome this ability is present. In FF this ability is not present.

i have run this add on for as long as i can remember, recently whenever i open Firefox, Bookmarks Search Plus 2 Opens expanded every time, Bookmarks Search Plus 2 Opens expanded on the left hand side of the monitor every time. I cannot seem to get Firefox to open a new browsing session OR a new tab without the left almost quarter screen to show Bookmarks Search Plus 2 . How do i get this to stop? I have closed it and shut down FF and restarted, same result.

[edit] I was using my phone to post this question and inadvertently posted it to the android forum. This is a DESKTOP question.

I'm trying to sync my tab groups across my desktop/laptop. I have sync enabled through the settings and I've checked every box, but I don't seem to see an option for syncing tab groups specifically. It syncs all of my bookmarks and active tabs, but the groups seem to be unique to each device. Is this feature available? I might be looking in the wrong spot so if anyone has any insight that would be great! Cheers

I am sitting in hospital with a weird problem. The connection is open and thus not secure. I have successfully connected my 2 android devices, however my Windows Asus laptop is being barred by firefox. I only run firefox. It is a dead end because firefox refuses to allow me to access the net at all. So now I have to get my wife to go and download chrome and see whether that will work. Why can I not override as u understand the risks I also use Norton 360 with its VPN.

I am satandalone user win 10 am administrator for my personal pc Firefox has been hacked and says it is managed by my organization. Norton nor bitdefender can get rid of the malware that has done this. Is there a patch or malware fixing bit of software that can clean this infection from my computer please. Chrome has the same problem so I have had to uninstall it an forget about it.

Googling the problem just comes up with all sorts of unintelligible to me tecky stuff Im not going near.

I see on the forums this is huge problem no one seems to have easy answer for.

Why does Firefox not have a version without this vulnerability for the millions of standalone personal users. Regards Mike Milletr

I am running Firefox on Linux. Desktop environment is KDE. Compositor is Wayland. I have a 11th Gen Intel Tiger lake Core i3 with integrated Intel UHD Graphics GPU. I do not have a eGPU or any other GPU apart from the integrated Intel UHD Graphics GPU. Intel drivers are installed and are being used. Please see the details given below from about:support for more details. What I have observed that Hardware acceleration, specifically WEBRENDER_COMPOSITOR, WEBRENDER_SHADER_CACHE and WEBRENDER_DCOMP_PRESENT are disabled. The details are given below.

I have enabled the force hardware acceleration too by setting the property media.hardware-video-decoding.force-enabled to true. But still the above three hardware acceleration are still not available.

How can I get these enabled?

On certain websites , the audio and video still auto play even though the option, "AutoPlay" is blocked for both audio and video.

Please see the attached screenshot which shows that auto play is blocked, it is circled in red. While the video has auto played, circled in orange with a timestamp of 17 seconds being played prior to it being manually stopped.

Please fix this issue.
