Hello. I know how to define a server certificate exception to avoid browser warnings in case of certificate issue with a website (see attachment). However, I'd like to apply that exception for all users with access to my machine using a GPO (for user or local machine). This is also a requirement in my work where many users run Firefox from a server and the face browser warnings all the time (related to self-signed certificates) so it would be great to apply an exception for all users through a GPO specifying the self-signed certificate warning we want Firefox to ignore. Thanks.

When I open Firefox I get pop-up messages supposedly from Mozilla warning or alert or I have a virus

This is my second request for help. I want to thank those who tried to help me before, but nothing has changed. When I open Firefox I immediately receive three messages, approximately 4 inches wide and 3 inches long on the right side of my browser, covering the areas I need to get to. They claim to be from Mozilla Firefox, have the Firefox logo on the top left, warning that I have a virus, or my files are infected, or a large Alert! And that I need to click "here" to fix the problem. It shows a strange "address" a string of random letters and the odd number and the words "merge network protocol." I did not click on this, or the "dismiss" that is shown. I did, however, click the X in the top right corner of one of these. It disappeared for about three seconds and was immediately replaced by another warning of some type. These messages do not go away when I leave Firefox, they follow me wherever I go. Restarting the computer gets rid of them, but I can't access Firefox without them returning. I have tried to alert Mozilla about this, but have not heard back. Any suggestions?

For a long time, while the Number Lock light is "on" on my keyboard, Firefox does not recognize that it's on. This should be a basic binary. 0=0, 1=1. 1 should never equal 0.

I have to got into another program and type numbers there to get it to work. But it doesn't last. I hate it when I'm trying to do something quick and I have to fight with something that I should NEVER have to fight with.

How to I get Firefox to ALWAYS recognize that Number Lock is on when it is on?

For some time now I have not been able to access any website secured with Captcha verification. My browser doesn't recognize that I'm a human and keeps going back to square one. Importantly: this problem does not occur in other browsers. However, I would prefer to stay with Mozilla, so it will be nice if something can be done with it. I didn't change any settings, I didn't change hardware, I didn't reinstall Mozilla, so that's not the problem. I've looked through my security settings and don't see anything that would help in this case. Especially since these are websites that I had previously accessed and logged in without any problems.

Hi there,

I am using Firefox Desktop in Windows 10. I activated master key password for the browser. Suddenly, I noticed that the pop up appear in the browser after open. If I close the pop-up or cancel it then it doesn't force me to type password. I easily can use the browser without using password. This is horrible!

please fix it

I just set up a Rakuten account which alllows me to buy things on line. Mozilla-Firefox won't let me buy through this website (i.e., the Rakuten website). How do I get Firefox to allow me to do what I want. I have no idea which version of Firefox I'm using. I'm assuming that its fairly recent.
