Hello!

Firefox on Android won't display pop-ups. I've checked privacy setting but there's no checkbox for a popup blocker. Also tried about:config but didn't find any setting to change. Any ideas on how to be sure Firefox is comfigured to allow popups? I participate on a Zoom webinar and can't start Zoom through Firefox so have to use Chrome.

Thanks!

Long time Firefox user on Linux. Password manager has never saved passwords, but I just lived with it. Recently, I tried setting a primary password, and now I can't log in to eBay, or Mozilla. On eBay, I type my user ID and the continue button is greyed out. On Mozilla, now I get "Local storage and cookies are required", but I DO have them turned on. I tried to change/set the Primary Password, and I get "Unable to change Primary Password". Is there a file protection/privilege problem? How can I track this down? Thanks, Jon

Secure Connection Failed

An error occurred during a connection to app. You are attempting to import a cert with the same issuer/serial as an existing cert, but that is not the same cert.

Error code: SEC_ERROR_REUSED_ISSUER_AND_SERIAL

Mozilla's issue, as the Chrome is working perfect.

You don't indicate what or where this certificate is coming from for any forum user to know what is happening or why it's not being recognized by the browser.

Hello. How do I tell Firefox when I wish to access a website that it isn't letting me access? There is no way to do this, that I can see. I'm getting a "Hmm. We're having trouble finding that site." error. I get this periodically & wish there was a "give permission" button right there. It's for a subscription renewal screen, in this case. I've already tried my internet security software plus my VPN, nothing. Thank you.

I have search separated from the url bar, and I have Firefox Suggest configured to only use history for tab completion. I've noticed a couple problems.

  • Search is being prioritized over options in my history. I have the separate search box, if I wanted to search I would use it. If I type a single character I want the most common result from my history to be the result of hitting tab.
  • I've noticed recently that I'm getting sponsored results even though I have them disabled. It's somewhat inconsistent, and I've only noticed it in one of my profiles. Specifically I am used to "w <tab>" taking me to weather.gov but I'm getting sponsored results for AccuWeather. I clicked the "feedback -> not interested" button but this is concerning that Firefox is ignoring preferences and there's a pattern of sending data to Google and AccuWeather despite me configuring the browser not to.

Hi there,

I'm a first-time user of Thunderbird and I really like its functionality and interface, however, I can't succeed at adding my Google accounts - every time I get a message one of the following messages: "Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead" or "Did Not Connect: Potential Security Issue. Thunderbird detected a potential security threat and did not continue to accounts.google.com because this web site requires a secure connection."

I tried changing the configs but nothing works. Could you please assist on this?

Thank you for your cooperation! Best regards, Mirela

Hi folks,

I've been using Thunderbird successfully with my Earthlink email for a couple of months (Windows 10)

Today suddenly, sending stopped working. Here's the error message:

Sending of the message failed. The Outgoing server (SMTP) smtpauth.earthlink.net does not support the selected authentication method. Please change the 'Authentication method' in 'Account Settings | Outgoing Server (SMTP)

I have the correct settings for Earthlink (STARTTLS, port 587), and sending has been fine until today.

When it first happened, I rebooted the PC and then it started working again.

Trying again later, it stopped being able to send.

Someone posted that the issue can be solved by sending and receiving insecurely, but that is not a solution!

I was also using Encrypted Password with no problem, and today that started causing an error message, forcing me to reset to Normal Password.

Since the last couple updates Firefox is NOT allowing my Password Manager to fill in logins, usually after clearing the cache which I do once a week, at least. Why is that?

Second: Your browser is being managed by your organization. That is not true. There is no organization, there never has been, I'm retired and this is home use desktop running Windows 10 and no one but me has EVER managed Firefox and I've used this browser, though no longer as my default, since it first became available. So why does it think anyone but me controls anything about it?

Firefox was working well on HTTP websites until a few days ago, but now HTTPS-Only Mode seems to be permanent. Despite changing settings to 'Don’t enable HTTPS-Only Mode', when HTTP sites are selected I get the same message as for 'HTTPS-Only Mode'. Also, if I select 'Enable HTTPS-Only Mode in all windows' and add exceptions, I get the same result.

Thunderbird (up to date version, release channel) is configured to log in to my e-mail server, hosted remotely, and download my mail. Password manager no longer 'remembers' my password and I have to manually enter it from the list of saved passwords even if I select to have password manager remember the password.
