Tonight I was roaming around my Firefox settings looking at something else, when I noticed this AI piece pre-checked. Why is FIREFOX, who is supposed to be for privacy and security, authorizing an update that automatically choose AI? Not cool Mozilla. Not Cool. Anyone else have this? and yes, I've already fixed it ;-)

I recently opened Firefox to see a new flagged warning under my toolbar that says "The security sandbox is disabled. Your configuration is unsupported and less secure."

I have gone into about:config and adjusted every security.sandbox element to see if that would change anything; it did not.

I am running on Windows 11 Home so I cannot install or properly run Windows Sandbox.

I would either like a solution to enable the sandbox once again, or just remove the notification from the toolbar.

I attempted to put in an address of what I thought was a website today on mozilla. I soon found out that it was not available or a proper website.

Now I am getting alarming notices with heading Mozilla Firefox all via what looks like an Indian website, saying 1. Click to secure your 2. Trojan detected Fix it now. 3. Critical Error. Click here to remove them.

I have not clicked on any part apart from the x top right to remove the notifications. I can send photos of them

I have scanned with my Windows Security repeatedly and nothing.

Max

PS. The messages are obstinate to remove and it takes effort to x them.

I do not use the phone of banking...and Firefox is and has been for a long time my default browser. Can hackers get my info from Firefox?

I've purposefully used the environment variable to disable the security sandbox.

How can I acknowledge and hide the persistent warning? Is there any about:config value for it?

I was googling something related to my game and i clicked on a Reddit search result, which i made sure is the official Reddit website not some shady one, then an empty .htm file from moz-safe-about resource got downloaded randomly. I didn't open it, i uploaded it to VirusTotal which came out safe and then i instantly deleted it and ran a virus scan with Windows Security which also came out clean. i tried to recreate this by opening the same website again both on Firefox and other browsers like Zen(Firefox based) and Chrome but nothing happened.

is this a harmless bug or should i worry that it could be a virus that didnt get detected?

Hello I have an application that shows forms where the input fields are inserted on table columns. When the column contains two fields sometimes the second field is showed not in the same line.

It must be said that the second field is added after the creation of the form.

Whit Chrome and Edge the form is showed correctly. At thislink the behavior can be seen. Thanks

I recently, was my own fault not protecting my visa card but got scammed, I chopped the card but yet somehow someone accessed my amazon account and tried purchasing something just the other day. I only use this laptop for amazon. My concern is how to stop people from getting access to this browser through shared wifi and the person got into this laptop through the smart tv in the part of shared accomodation. I matched the serial number of the device to the device that appeared in devices in my control panel which I never authorized to access my laptop. I dont allow any access to my "network" to anyone but somehow someone got access. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. And everytime I tether with my cell phone its alwys a new network that I get asked by microsoft if I want to allow discoverable which I dont, but I usually have 80 -100 networks due to every log in with teher and wifi booster. Thank you

I've been good about avoiding being hacked or having major problems. I'm on a Mac, with the latest update. I use 1Password. I check all the urls on questionable email. I use 2fa, and check for data briefs.

Firefox has built-in security. So does Apple. And Firefox has all sorts of extensions that provide security. Privacy Badger is from the EFF. I don't know if they all do the same thing or cover things not covered. The descriptions say they protect me, but how do I know? At times, I probably have overkill.

And this doesn't even address VPNs.

Searching for "Security" in extensions shows a list of about 2,000 extensions. "Privacy" returns a list of more than 2,600. I would think that if you were confident in your security, there wouldn't be so many, and/or you wouldn't list them. Do you have a gap that we need to find an extension to cover?]

There needs to be some consistency and clarity as to what you protect against and what they claim they protect against so we know which one we really need. It feels like buying a car and being told to go find our own tires in a vast warehouse, and then search for the gears we want, etc. When we get on a plane, we don't select our own seatbelts. If on a cruise ship, we don't choose our lifevests. If that were the case, no one would get on boats or planes. By letting us fend through thousands of security programs, you shift the responsibility to us. And very few of us have enough training or knowledge to do so.

I don't expect you to be perfect, but helping us through this maze would be great. I probably know more than the average person, but it feels that
